Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

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

Republicans in disarray!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

It’s the corruption, stupid.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

No one could have predicted…

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Bad Campaign Slogans

Note to Obama supporters- you don’t want the Bradrocket writing your slogans. So far, all he seems to have come up with is:

“Obama. Less crappy than the alternatives.”

    Asking the obvious: Why would Bradrocket even be in consideration for writing said slogans? Seems to me he has trouble writing a paragraph coherently, let alone a one-liner!

    “Obama. Less crappy than the alternatives.”

    After the last 7 years, that’s the very definition of “Hope”.

    Top 10 rejected Obama slogans:

    10. They think we can. They think we can. They think we can.
    9. Two words: Mark Penn.
    8. Well, we can hope.
    7. Because we need a President who is clean and articulate.
    6. Not your father’s pet goat.
    5. Barack: a great First Lady’s husband.
    4. Taller than Hillary, younger than John, and healthier than Dick.
    3. Imagine the Obama girls saluting their father’s coffin!
    2. Our time is now — while the Governor of Illinois is a Democrat.

    and the number 1 rejected Obama slogan:

    1. Sweet home All Obama!

    …says the Ayn Rand fan.

    Nothing wrong with her prose. She wrote a good deal better than the vast majority of people who get published these days. That being said, I’m more a fan of her characters than her philosophy/writing. For writing, I’m a die hard E.B. White fan.

    I still think Obama should use the Theme from Shaft as his campaign song.

    Maybe it’s too early. ”Who’s the Senator with all the chicks? Shaft!“

    “Tired of baby boomer Woodstock/Vietnam angst bullshit? Vote Obama and kiss it all goodbye.”

    From Sadly No:

    “If you believe democracy works, raise your hand. Now, get in the line for the exit visas to Canada. The rest of you, vote Democratic!”

    There’s more.

    “Democrats – for when your biggest hope for government is that they won’t use your tax dollars to violate the Nuremberg laws, the Geneva Conventions, and your own damn Constitution.”

    There’s my mantra for the year in a nutshell. It’s pessimistic and an incredibly compelling reason to vote Democratic. Score.

    the DNC should be printing bumperstickers by the millions saying “Like Bush? Vote McCain!”

    Actually, if you turn those “W” stickers upside down…

    I wish i’d originated this one:

    Vote Republican.

    Because you can wreck a country in 8 years, but it takes 12 to destroy it.
