Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The revolution will be supervised.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

It’s the corruption, stupid.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Et Tu, Romney?

Oh NOES! Abortionists everywhere in the GOP race:

Former Gov. Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann, gave an $150 donation to the abortion-rights group Planned Parenthood in 1994, at a time when Romney considered himself effectively “pro-choice,” the Romney campaign confirmed today.

Campaign spokesman Kevin Madden said Ann Romney had no recollection of the circumstances under which she donated the money.

“The governor has not donated to Planned Parenthood or abortion-rights groups,” Madden said.

The most satisfying thing about the complete and total sell-out to the flat earth religionist crowd is watching the inevitable cannibalization from within.

Almost no one can live up the fake standards and faux moral code they have constructed, and anyone who can most certainly is not sane or trustworthy enough to be President.

    What difference does it make about Romney?

    No Republican is going to be president at the end of January 2009.

    Eleven Republican members of Congress told George Bush today that he has no more credibility on the war, and basically took their fingers out of the dike which is holding back a wave of GOP flight from Bush and his policies.

    Too late, the Republicans finally understand that this game is over and are going to try to salvage something from the massive train wreck that they have caused.

    Romney? Schromney.

    The Republicans plan to blame Democrats.

    You’ve already seen it here… Paul L. and his ilk blaming all the problems on the Democrats not stopping them from going into Iraq, etc.

    Et Tu, Romney?

    I’m guessing the “et tu” came from McCain.

    He is an asshole that now I’d never vote for, but he ain’t completely stupid. He remembers how he got screwed out of the nomination in 00.

    It’s the days of preemption, bitch. You can just about hear the swiftboats throttling up now.

    Exactly. Heh heh.

    And someone like Romney, who is all over the map on issues, lacks competence to even be a national leader.

    If Mittens chides the brazen harlot in public, the Talevangical Righties might forgive…

    What am I saying? They’ll still regard him with suspicion because he ain’t their kahnd. Time to start making those “I (Heart) Huckabee” bumperstickers.

    Bah.

    Planned Parenthood does a lot more than abortion. I’m sure someone brought it up in the other thread I’m not going to read, but I’ll say it anyway: it’s not like she cut a check to NARAL. Planned Parenthood provides all sorts of health and family planning services.

    Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the United States. NARAL does not perform any abortions.

    Yes. But if Satan ran a soup kitchen for the homeless would it be ok to donate money to the Church of Marilyn Manson? Sure PP offers everything from nutrition information to sonograms for expectant mothers without full insurance coverage, but they also offer ABORTIONS! Mitt Romney’s wife just killed $150 worth of baby with that donation. Its no different than if she dropped a sack of new-born children on an IED in Iraq. She’s a damnable, blasphemous, she-witch, murderer and she’ll burn in hell where the souls of dead babies will tear at her flesh for all eternity. How can we have a woman like that for first lady?

    But surely that Gonzales like statement “no recollection of the circumstances” should help. :)
