I wonder if Fred Dooley thinks Reagan showed a lack of class

In discussing President Obama’s State of the Union address, wingnut Fred Dooley of the “Real Debate” Wisconsin blog expresses outrage that President Obama dared criticize the Supreme Court for the Court’s recent decision in Citizens United v. FEC:

The simple fact is the President, Barack Oblame-A showed a complete lack of class when he criticized the [...]

For all those “fiscally conservative” Republicans out there…

….just remember one important fact when you attack Democrats for their “tax and spend” ways:

Our nation had a $236 billion surplus when George W. Bush took office, and thanks to GWB and Republican majorities in the House and Senate, that surplus turned it into a $1.3 trillion deficit by the time President Obama took office.

Then [...]

Terrence Wall will fix it all!

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Terrence Wall says he’s got solutions to the issues Wisconsinites care about, issues like jobs, health care, and taxes. I thought I’d take a moment to take a look at Terrence Wall’s “plan” to spur job growth, which can be summed up pretty succinctly. In his “Getting people back [...]

Africa’s “baby bonanza” a product of Bush-era policies

Here’s another lasting legacy of the administration of George W. Bush:

At age 45, after giving birth to 13 children in her village of thatch roofs and bare feet, Beatrice Adongo made a discovery that startled her: birth control.

“I delivered all these children because I didn’t know there was another way,” said Adongo, who started on [...]

George W. Bush, motivational speaker

It’s true….former President George W. Bush has found his post-presidency career, and he’s going to be a motivational speaker!

Personally, I think Dubbya will be about as effective (or credible) as a motivational speaker as this guy:

All the president’s men

As I’ve been surfing the intertubes, I’ve noticed some conservatives in the blogosphere are calling for President Obama’s impeachment, and not because he’s broken any laws, but because they really don’t like him. The rationale for impeaching President Obama seems to be that he’s circumvented the Constitution through his use of “czars” to lead [...]

Unpopular President attempts to indoctrinate school kids

Those classy conservatives

I have to give it to those classy conservatives.

If they’re not comparing President Barack Obama to Adolph Hitler, they’re comparing him to Jim Jones of Jonestown infamy.

I wonder if these same folks would be righteously indignant (or downright incensed) if I compared George W. Bush to a chimpanzee or perhaps Homer Simpson. [...]

Bush surveillance program much larger than originally thought

Remember the warrantless wiretapping program undertaken by the Bush administration?

Remember how we were told it was perfectly legal, and that it was only being used on a limited basis?

Well, apparently the Bush surveillance program wasn’t as limited as the citizenry was led to believe (emphasis mine):

The Bush administration built an unprecedented surveillance operation to pull [...]

Feingold: “So-called enhanced interrogation illegal”

For weeks, former Vice President Dick Cheney has been making the rounds on television to defend the Bush administration’s torture program, and during his media blitz, Cheney has been citing two CIA memos as proof that torture works as a method of obtaining intelligence.

However, during a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing today, Sen. [...]
