Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

He really is that stupid.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

I really should read my own blog.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

    Typical Democratic stance: Give Repbulicans all of the blame and none of the credit.

    But if you give the Democrats all of the blame and none of the credit, you’re partisan.

    Feh.

    But nothing good that has happened does have anything to do with the current administration. It’s like saying that I breathe, good things happen, therefore my breathing has something to good things happening.

    Our soldiers are fighting a growing insurgency in an ever widening war zone. In March, insurgents attacked American forces in 700 separate assaults. In August, they initiated 2,700 attacks — a 400% increase.

    BUSH Lost the debate , he was terrible, Kerry looked better and more presidential, Bush was whining and flustered the whole time.

    Its poetic justice that Afghanistan, described in the region as backward and uncivilized, will soon be the most progressive state in the greater middle east once it establishes the habit, otherwise unknown there, of the peaceful and repetitive transition of executive power.

    -Suck Me,

    I will grant you that Kerry did a little better in the debate, lets say he won.

    What did he win? The debate is all. It is meaningless to win the debate and not change any votes. In spite of reports that he didn’t debate as well as Kerry, it seems people still like his ideas better.

    Despite doing better in the debate, and I think he did, he didn’t improve in the poll. Check the polls taken after the debate. The polls are still esentially the same for:

    Who do you trust on the war in Iraq?
    Who do you trust on national security?
    Who do you trust on handling the economy?

    Sandi:

    A joke, right? Must be, because only a stupendously out of it wingnut would seriously answer your questions with any name other than “Kerry.” Of course, this being Airhead Central, a wholly owned susidiary of the North American Musollini Wannabe League, aka, Republican Party, I must consider the outside chance that you are serious.

    Mussolini was an international socialist before he became a national socialist. I think you’d find more in common with him at DU than here but it’s a welcome change from the Hitler riff.

    And according to the Gallup poll atleast the first two questions asked by Sandi are still being answered with “Bush” rather than “Kerry”. Wingnuts! Everyone.

    Sandi-

    Poll results are coming in–are you still maintaining Kerry didn’t improve in the polls?

    I was pleasantly surprised at how well the debate showcased the sharp contrast between these two men’s positions. All involved deserve the credit for that service to the American public. Those who weren’t aware of that contrast (sad to say that’s quite a few) going into the debate can now make a more informed decision with their vote come Nov. 2nd.–regardless of the outcome.

    The problem the right has is that those watching with an open mind saw a demonstrable difference between command of knowledge and temperament. And believe me, many of the Bush-leaners must be having some grave reservations about whether this guy is up to the job. Somewhere in the deep recesses of your mind, I bet you are too.

    I agree that Kerry looked and sounded better in the debate. But that’s style. Check his substance and you find contraditions on Iraq, an offer to GIVE Iran nulcear fuel, a bizarre North Korea policy, and last but not least the belief that all US actions must pass a global test.

    Oh, and he’ll hold a conference which will get nations to commit soldiers to Iraq…I think he’ll fund it all by selling the Brooklyn Bridge as well.

    Check the substance indeed, and you will find the clear contrast between these two men.

    One that acknowledges the complexities of today’s world and understands the role of a leader in an era of globalization–and one that favors a unilateral approach and thinks little of other nations’ interests.

    One that has always fulfilled his patriotic duty by speaking his mind about HIS government’s shortcomings–and one that practices an extremely un-American approach of squelching any form of dissent or criticism (it was literally written all over his face in the debate.)

    Think we’ll see a reprise of the “uniter not a divider” mantra from 2000?

    Yes, substance indeed. I hope everyone is paying close attention to it, grasps the contrast, and reverses the current trend of un-American activity.
