Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

No one could have predicted…

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

    Romney to give a major spending spending policy speech at Americans for Prosperity.

    Presumably, he won’t come across as a rambling drunk, the way that Perry did recently.

    But maybe, like Cain, he will finish the speech with a song.

    Don’t forget that unemployment would be 4% if it weren’t for all the overregulation and uncertainty about higher taxes under Obama that have business owners crying themselves to sleep every night.

    @Brachiator:
    I can’t help but wonder, what song would Mitt Romney choose to sing? A Mormon hymn? One of the Nat King Cole hits that Donny Osmond used to cover when he was the 1970s’ Justin Bieber?

    Tax breaks create jobs
    Spending cuts create jobs
    Deregulation makes Mitts magic undies tight.
    Maybe I can get a gig on Fox News…

    He’s against it now, sure. But what about next week? Where was he last month?

    Fixted it for you.

    I like the way the Wingers use “Prosperity” as a code word. The group that illegally funded The Hermancain’s campaign for its first couple of months was called “Prosperity USA”.

    Except for Pentagon spending, which is awesome, because it is awesome. “America, f*#k yeah!”

    Also, too, let’s be certain about ending economic uncertainty so everybody in Galt’s Gulch can come out for a beer run.

    I’m thinking “Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road”, myself. Except in Mitt’s case, it’s a live but distressed dog on the roof of his station wagon.

    The stinking to high heaven part is the same, though…

    If your title had been “Dog Pees on Tree”, I would have found that just as interesting.

    Not to single you out but my God, I’m sick of hearing about Republican POTUS candidates. Even on MSNBC, its all they ever talk about. WHO CARES. We need to direct our attention to things like OWS or fighting the anti-labor laws or even marijuana legalization. There is nothing any of us can do about who the Republican loser is gonna be….which is Romney btw. He has no chance to win (I live in Macon, Ga. right now and they would rather vote for anybody but a Mormon) but the etablishment thinks he’ll pull in some Senate victories.

    We need to fight state by state. Who cares what this loser says/does.

    Kochs, Kochs, Kochs.

    The shady “non-profit” that illegally funneled money to Cain’s campaign and then conveniently disappeared without collecting on the debts? Prosperity USA, another Koch front.

    This organization took in less than $70,000 and spent less than $60,000 – until a mysterious donor threw $150,000 their way, incredibly conveniently for Cain’s campaign.

    Honestly, if the Republicans didn’t appear so intent on hamstringing each other, I might even entertain the idea of Rove-Koch coordination to push Cain (as someone who’ll never win the nomination) and hurt Perry (or whoever they thought the real unelectable challenge to Romney was at the time).

    I suppose it’s still possible if unlikely that Rove baited the Kochs into such a scheme and then turned around and put the whammy on Cain when he started to beat Romney in the polls.

    But most likely, there’s nothing here but serendipity favoring Obama.

    I don’t care what you have to say
    It makes no difference anyway;
    Whatever it is, I’m against it!

    Romney already knows why he’s against what he’ll propose today. He’s already walking back the walk before he walks it. He’s got the 114 on the 411 before he even dials.

    He’s the magic man.

    I know it would require someone to be an actual journalist, but how has no one ever directly asked a Republican how many jobs Tax Break A will create? Why don’t the Republicans get a “pledge” from the overlords that says “We will create xxx jobs for this tax break?” I mean, even if it’s a lie (it would be) they can always go back to the well of “IT WASN’T ENOUGH”

    The common “Prosperity” thread in both orgs is the tobacco lobby.

    As detailed last week by Stolberg in the NYT, Cain was the head of the restaurant ass’n lobby. It was a front group for Big Tobacco (which has a hard time lobbying on its own behalf, for obvious reasons) and most of the policy goals the restaurant ass’n pushed were in fact aimed at public anti-smoking legislation.

    Americans for Prosperity is a creation of Dick Armey, longtime tobacco lobbyist par excellence. AFP specializes in astroturfing ops that use older, white, rural people as “grassroots” stooges for its corporate lobbying efforts.

    Someone really needs to sniff all this out and write a nice article drawing the links between all these orgs.
