Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

T R E 4 5 O N

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Republicans in disarray!

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

How stupid are these people?

Their shamelessness is their super power.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

    sorry John, but you can’t reclaim the mantle of “conservative” for the few sane former war-hawks who have seen the light. “Conservative” has to bear some relationship to the people who are considered “conservative” in government — and since they are all pretty much batshit crazy, the choice has to be Red State, or LGF, or Malkin, or…..

    It’s interesting to read the reasons for some of the nominations. “The best place to bash liberals” or some such thing. Especially DU liberals. An obscure blog whose sole existence to is to bash an another fringe site. I guess that might be the definition of “conservative” to some.

    Or the one, I foget which, which focuses on “Islamofascism” and “liberals”…

    I love Belgravia Dispatch…

    I don’t understand how balloon juice can be conservative. This site is definitely not a socially conservative site. I don’t find it to be a fiscally conservative site given the support of SCHIP and other elements.

    The ideology of the site tends to be defined more by opposition. Opposition to the activist right wings blogs, Bush and others. But defining yourself by your enemies doesn’t mean there’s a core set of beliefs in this blog.

    Sure it’s easy to hammer Bush and the R’s for them abandoning the small government conservatism of Armey. But then Cole seems to believe that SCHIP expansion is fine. That’s a moderate view and is quite opposed to the principle positions of small government conservatives.

    hederman…if you read Cole you’d see that he doesn’t support SCHIP, but is opposed to the treatment of the Frost family.

    Cole doesn’t support SCHIP. He thinks it is inevitable and therefore a stupid hill for Republicans to die on.

    Isn’t Blogs 4 Brownback a parody site?
    I mean, it’s got to be…right?

    The scary thing is that we have to stop and ask ourselves..’Is this one real or a spoof?”

    I wasn’t nominated, so I don’t care.

    And yes, those grapes are kind of sour–how did you know?

    …it’s a spoof, right? Seriously, I couldn’t tell.
