This is one of the best political ads I have seen. WIth all of the talk about the dangers of Nancy Pelosi, I dont think that there is any doubt, that she is head and shoulders more qualified than her predecessor, or the orange guy who might take her place…. “Rounds of golf: 100 [...] Posted by Ed Heinzelman on August 17, 2010, at 5:30 pm

Watch this clip from Anderson Cooper interviewing Texas GOP Representatives Debbie Riddle & Louie Gommert blabbing about “terror babies” being “dropped & trained” for future terror roles. I think there must be something in the water in Texas that generates this kind of drivel. [...] Posted by Proud Progressive on July 15, 2010, at 10:22 am
In sum, there are zero historical examples of conservatives mobilizing to make the deficit smaller. What is true is that most conservatives oppose increases in non-military spending when those increases are proposed by Democratic presidents. http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/2010/07/conservatives-dont-care-about-the-deficit-4/ Posted by Zach on June 21, 2010, at 5:33 am
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake and I don’t agree on much, but we’re in total agreement that the PATRIOT Act is ineffective and should be scrapped: Underdog U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake, making a bid to outflank fellow Republican Ron Johnson among tea-party activists, called Thursday for scrapping the Patriot Act. The decorated [...] Posted by MadCityMan on June 1, 2010, at 2:04 pm
Republican pundit George Will & George W. Bush’s adviser Matthew Dowd both call-out Republican officeholders for being out of touch & out of step on the repeal of DADT. I often don’t agree with George Will, but this time, I applaud his viewpoints. He had this to say in a recent television interview: “The Supreme Court has a famous phrase they used in some opinion ‘the evolving standards of decency that mark a maturing society”. Clearly these are evolving. The case is over.” When asked what was going on with the Republicans in Congress, George Will had this to say: “They’re not being very intelligent” [...] Posted by MadCityMan on May 28, 2010, at 2:10 pm
The entire WI GOP congressional delegation (Ryan, Sensenbrenner, Petri) disrespected the service and lives of gay and lesbian military members who have died and the ~14,000 who have been forced out of service with their lemming-like vote against the repeal of DADT. The delegation did not see fit to follow the will of the American people where all polls indicate that a vast majority support open service by qualified gay and lesbian service members to their country. The polls also show a significant majority of the GOP to be against DADT. In their continuing quest to be the “party of no” and to represent their vocal minority of tea party, right wing constituents; our GOP representatives once again showed their true colors as being against basic civil liberties for all Americans.

In yet another example of wasteful spending and kicking the ball down the field, it was revealed that the Pentagon has hired Westat a Maryland-based firm to survey 350,000 troops and their families on the elimination of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell according to Boston.com. The size of the sample is unprecedented for a social research survey that could easily be answered by simply talking to all of the Western nations that have dropped their anti-gay hiring practices around the world. Apparently the sample size is so large and an outside firm is being hired, in part because of the ridiculous DADT law, that would result in the firing of any soldiers who reveal that they are gay when being questioned.

I’m no Constitutional scholar, but if Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner and Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein agree that legislation probably won’t stand up to scrutiny regarding its Constitutionality, then it’s probably not Constitutional. Listen and watch as Rachel Maddow breaks down what a bad idea Joe Lieberman’s push to strip Americans accused of [...] |
