Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Consistently wrong since 2002

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Bayh/Richardson

Interesting piece on Bill Richardson in Salon.

An Evan Bayh/Bill Richardson ticket in 2008 would be a tough ticket for the GOP to beat. Fortunately, Evan Bayh will never make it out of the primaries.

*** Update ***

This won’t help Bayh’s chances…

    Not to mention that you will never get Richardson to line up with some of the accepted schools of thought of the modern left.

    That’s a crock. Bayh has done nothing but good things for Indiana as a both a governor and a senator. And he’s a moderate. He’s one of the few people in the government that I think could actually help unite this country. Just because he’s a moderate doesn’t make him a republican. This country need moderates in charge. They don’t make everybody happy, but they certainly make more people happy than the extremists, or wannabe extremists.

    Personally, I’m hoping for a Bayh/Obama ticket, but that’ll probably never happen. It would be far too logical.

    Didn’t Richardson get caught doing something back in 2000? I thought that he was on Gore’s short list but then some scandal happened.
    Maybe I’m more confused than usual.

    That and the fact, of Richardson, being a special envoy in
    North Korea, Iraq, Sudan & Cuba, while he was a congressman;
    and what deals did he make in that capacity

    Bayh can have the nomination shortly after he stops acting like he’s embarrassed to be a Democrat, which is to say never.
