Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

Innocent people do not delay justice.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

The lights are all blinking red.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Stand up, dammit!

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

The Democrats are worse than McCain.

Seriously, how much are they paying this guy?

The song that the evil pinko commies at Sadly, No! and the Poorman will not be playing this year:

Watching the whiny ass cheating Patriots lose, and knowing I get to watch Belichick’s whiny ass press conference is ALMOST as good as the Steeler win a few years back. I especially like having to drag all the Patriots back out on to the field for one final second to really grind the loss into their collective faces.

Congratulations, Giants!

*** Update ***

Can we now stop talking about the Patriots like the Steelers of the 70’s? And btw, a former Steeler is who killed the Pats.

*** Update #2 ***

Looks like McCain picked up another vote:

I am so confident of both a Patriots win today and a Romney win in Massachusetts on Tuesday that I made this pledge on the air Friday: “If the NY Giants beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, I will vote cast my Super Duper Tuesday primary vote for (shudder) John McCain.”

So when I say “Go, Pats!” I really, REALLY mean it.

I also think they are even more of a lead-pipe cinch to win the Super Bowl than McCain is to win the GOP nomination. Either way, I’m putting my money..er vote where my mouth is.

Michael Graham at the NRO.

Elisha Nelson “Eli” Manning is hot. Other than that, I got nuthin’. Commercials disappointing so far.

Update: Napoleon sucks. Clydesdales suck. Badgers were ok. Very disappointing. So, how’s the game going?

Why The Fratricide

by John Cole|  February 3, 20084:00 pm| 38 Comments

This post is in: Republican Stupidity, Republican Crime Syndicate - aka the Bush Admin.

Interesting piece by James Joyner about the Republican battle between McCain and Romney:

The Conservative Movement has morphed from a handful of intellectual true believers trying to shape the debate into something approaching a civil religion with loyalty tests and a clericy that has the power to excommunicate.

We have a winner. Add to that the fact that the folks imposing the loyalty tests simply are not conservatives (something James notes later on in the post). Let’s face it- the same folks pushing Romney on us and telling everyone who will listen that they are the real conservatives and that Romney is the true conservative are the EXACT same folks, who, to this day, struggle to come up with any shortcomings in the Bush administration. Earlier in his piece, James quotes Jon Hinderaker, who states “as the primary season draws to a close, most conservatives are coalescing around Mitt Romney.”

Yes. That is the same Jon Hinderaker who recently won a Golden Wingnut for the following quote:

It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.

Gee- I can’t imagine why folks aren’t rushing to embrace Mitt, Hinderaker’s pick this year.
