I’m sending him money right now.
strategy outlined in this article by Mark Ambinder of “The Atlantic” may well work.
Sample:
“The Democratic strategy in a nutshell is small enough to fit in one but has the protein of a good, tasty nut. The Republicans want to be mayors of crazy-town. They’ve embraced a fringe and proto-racist isolationist and ignorant conservative populism that has no solutions for fixing anything and the collective intelligence of a wine flask.”

What about any of it that McConnell said is in any way racist?
This seems to fit Bob to a T
But after calling opposition simple and stupid, why miss the chance to throw racist in there, too?
He wants Napolitano to resign. Great! She’s completely incompetent. If not for idiot terrorists, we’d have had three successful attacks on the homeland except just one, which she had to put herself in contortions just to have the word “Islamic terror” leave her lips. “The system worked!”
Holder should also resign for a number of reasons. The Romanoff thing is just one of them.
Bernake? Really? Why wouldn’t you want him to resign?
Salazar was in charge when that rig was given permission to drill and responsible for the inspections that were lax or didn’t happen. Are you happy with his response to the spill?
Wow. McConnell really is racist and crazy!!!
He wants to repeal Obamacare. Great! A hero in my eyes. That piece of shit is going to bankrupt us, raise my rates until my insurer goes out of business, and cause me to then wait in line for shitty care. He’s brilliant in knowing that Obama vetoing a repeal would absolutely sink him in 2012. You can say I’m as crazy as McConnell, but half of the country or more agrees with us.
I know, I know…it’s all so….racist!
so you sound like
to me.
But it’s the theme du jour.
I was mostly referring to Ambinder.
There’s no “but” there.
Go take your fake racism concerns elsewhere.
Like maybe Free Republic.
We’ll just call them “dumbasses.”
You got a problem with that?
of Health Care reform, like members of the Helen Reddy Fan Club, are rapidly disappearing.

You know that CD3 ought to join CDs 1, 2 and 5 in the no need to have on big line category. I think they just keep it for filler. Heck, so should CD6 and CD7. But the left side of the screen would look so naked.
Besides, as soon as a politician starts talking about how he’s going to bring God back into politics, make damn sure everybody agrees that believing in God is somehow part of being a real US citizen or part of patriotism or that he knows that God is telling him to run, is in charge of his campaign, has made him his champion in the race and the other guys not so much etc., nobody with more brains than toast should consider voting for that candidate for a micro-second. Why? Because such a candidate absolutely positively MUST be a complete nut job or a complete A-hole.
what the article addresses is Republicans, in general, who have embraced the Tea Party Movement have embraced a movement that is, “…fringe and proto-racist isolationist and ignorant conservative populism that has no solutions for fixing anything and the collective intelligence of a wine flask.”.
I particularly enjoy the “collective intelligence of a wine flask” part.
Because it wouldn’t fit in with a liberal criticism if a conflicting ideology wasn’t demeaned as dense or unintelligent.
Or just the people espousing it? Because lord knows, the tea party has a buttload of educationally challenged adherents. I mean, if there’s another explanation for the fact that their solutions are nothing more than promising to roll back everything Obama and Congress has done, well, that’s not very creative or thought out IMO.
when you are running around with pictures of the President dressed as a “Witch Doctor” it is generally a pretty good sign you’re not holding a PhD in Economics from the London School, wouldn’t you agree?
when that’s what it is is better than pretending it just ain’t so. We’re not talking about a particular individual whom we could afford to humor just for the sake of generosity. We’re talking about a major social movement that is attempting to affect the direction in which our country goes. And, without the slightest bit of disingenuity or insincerity, I am thoroughly convinced that the movement is a largely ignorant one. It is economically and historically illiterate, oblivious to the coexisting demands on a free society to both preserve individual liberty and maintain the social cohesion which gives that liberty its full expression, unable to grasp that our entire matrix of social institutional material is available to address the challenges and opportunities we collectively face as a society, and fundamentally committed to an agenda which is guaranteed to increase human suffering and decrease human welfare.
I have no problem whatsoever demeaning it as dense and unintelligent.
to wine flasks everywhere.
two places where you need to carry your own flashlight.
I love it when the Republicans repeat the repeal mantra, with ABSOLUTELY no explanation or understanding of the cost of health care, and NO argument for how they would fix the current broken health care delivery system with its crippling (both economic and family) high costs.
.
but he IS wrong about Salazar and Agriculture.
What % of CD-3 votes are on the Western Slope ?
Are Pueblo and Alamosa the only big non-WS population centers ?
.
Mesa County is about 115k.
Montrose, Durango, Craig, Glenwood Springs are the larger towns on the West Slope.
Obama DID NOT appoint Bennet. Ritter appointed Bennet. Was there some secret ‘selection’? I don’t know, have no reason to think so but just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they are not out to get you.
Work for your own candidates instead of trying to make mischief with the opposition.
You’re a smart guy. But you’re too clever by half.
You keep trying to insert yourself into the Bennet-Romanoff race. Why? What are you afraid of?
He had me when he vowed not to compromise on Evil. I don’t like evil. He doesn’t like evil. What more do you need to connect on?
… is he a Thirteenther?” It’s the latest in teabagging craziness.
and would amend (or reinterpret) the 14th.
Where do these nut jobs get this stuff? Now are pols like Norton going to have to say things like we really need to look into this or I respect their concerns?
I am increasingly convinced that this is all being spoon fed to the wackos by the GOP. If only people would pay attention to the reality based world, it would be so obvious that the GOP’s only real policy, tax cuts for the rich coupled with no regulation or oversight, hasn’t worked, isn’t working,will never work and the rest is just smoke and mirrors.
Can’t have that. After all, most of us are the one’s their masters are screwing with their enthusiastic assistance and half of us vote. So they keep feeding conspiracies and scare stories about anti-white racism, communism, Stalinism, anti-Americanism and whatever else they can come up with to the rightie blogosphere and from there to the rightie media and then to the MSM to make sure everybody is constantly distracted and never does start paying attention to the obvious. They may get embarrassed occasionally but it’s worth it because it keeps Ds on defense, keeps all the talking heads talking about utter nonsense and just works like a charm with a little bitty glitch once in a while, no biggie. The GOP: The official Up is Down, 1984, Wizard of Oz, Look Over There Party, pay no attention to the little men behind the curtain

sound like dumbasses to me. But I didn’t really mean that the way it sounded.
We should repeal the big parts of the healthcare bill.
Specifically, he should promise to repeal the death panels and the requirement for 16,500 new IRS agents.
introduce those parts of the law?
That part definitely needs repealing.
that isn’t already in my sig line.
Why is Biden acceptable as president and Obama is not? I thought Biden was considered more liberal than Obama during the 2008 campaign?
Raaaaaaaaaaacism again.
1) racism still exists in America;
2) some subset of Americans are racist (or, more precisely, there is some distribution of racism among the people of America, with various people being more or less racist);
3) the racism variable is undoubtedly correlated to some other social variables (for instance, to take an obvious example, members of the KKK are more likely to be racist than non-members);
4) racism is more likely to be an aspect of backward-looking than of forward-looking social/cultural/political ideologies, since racism is tightly intertwined into our nation’s past, but probably decreasingly so into our nation’s future (note that this does not necessarily mean that any particular backward-looking ideology must be racist, only that any racist ideology is more likely to be one of the backward-looking ones; one example can be found among the unreformed southern Confederates that still exist).
When you combine these considerations with the evidence of racism in the Tea Party movement, including a recent racist rant by a prominent Tea Party leader, a noticable presence of unusually racist signs and symbollism at rallies, and a general rhetoric of everything was better before all forms of social progress messed this country up (one of which would be the gradual movement toward the elimination of racism), it’s at the very least a very plausible and defensible accusation.
.
I think Obama is worse in their minds because they believe he is an automaton or puppet controlled by unseen malevolent forces, like Emmanuel, only worse.
I’ve hung out a bit and never heard them deride him for being mixed race or Black or a person of color or only half Caucasian or anything like that.
And these are strangers who don’t know my personal situation concerning “miscegenation.”
That helps them answer the question of how he rose so quickly from community organizer to the most powerful person in the world, without actually doing anything but campaign for higher office.
Now, there may be some racism embedded in their thinking that the Prez cannot think for himself, I don’t know and didn’t explore that.
.
Apparently, I’m really out of the loop.
over finding out that his beloved ACP is just as ethically bankrupt as the ones he likes to bitch and moan about. Reality is a tough pill to swallow when you’re a sanctimonious prick.
Although I can comment on the intellectual bankruptcy of the ACP.
Yep.
Can’t spell “Barack” correctly, can’t spell “Bernanke” correctly, thinks Obama appointed Bennet, and thinks Ken Salazar is the Secretary of Agriculture?
I think Sarah Palin should refudiate him.
Obama did appoint Bennet (though I doubt that’s what McConnell meant); according to many if not most theories, he was involved in the decision from the moment Salazar was being considered for Interior.
