thank you Mr. President

As the Economist(hardly the liberal media) recently pointed out, an apology is due to President Obama on his bailout of GM. They even point out that there is a chance that, when we spin the stock that we own, we might even make a profit.

The lesson for American voters is that their [...]

Paul Ryan: progressivism is a cancer

Found in my email inbox: Progressivism is a “cancer” in America: so says Glenn Beck, and so agrees Rep. Paul Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin. Ryan says his goal is to “indict the entire vision of progressivism” which he says is “a complete affront of the whole idea of this country.”

He says he [...]

I Rest My Case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For months now I have been having fun pointing out the ridiculousness of the “tea” parties. From the fact that the original tea party was to protest a corporate tax cut, to the fact that Big Government millionaires Paul Ryan and Tommy Thompson have been headline speakers, to their beginning of funding and organizing [...]

Waste my hate

Since it appears that Republican Congressman Peter King cant fit two hate filled thoughts in his head at once, he is urging his fellow republicans to ignore the overturning of prop 8 in CA during this election cycle.

In this politico piece (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0810/40776_Page2.html#ixzz0vvztZaqg), was this rather telling quote by the congressman (http://www.balloon-juice.com/2010/08/07/a-blunt-admission/)

The Scam of the Flim Flam Man – Paul Ryan

Paul Krugman takes on the Golden Boy of the GOP – Paul Ryan – in today’s New York Times. You can read his column “The Flim Flam Man” here. I thought there were several points worth extracting from the editorial. “But no: as long as someone on the right claims to have bold new proposals, he’s hailed as an innovative thinker. And nobody checks his arithmetic. “Which brings me to the innovative thinker du jour: Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.” “But it’s the audacity of dopes. Mr. Ryan isn’t offering fresh food for thought; he’s serving up leftovers from the 1990s, drenched in flimflam sauce.” [...]

Call and Response – Paul Ryan Speaks, MCM responds

Republican Golden Boy, Paul Ryan, received a great deal of coverage in today’s New York Times article “A Young Republican with a Sweeping Agenda” including being asked questions that for some reason are not showing up in the online edition, but are probably the most insightful on his positions. Given that they aren’t readily apparent in the online article, I’m re-publishing some of them here to show yet again how out of touch Mr. Ryan is from his constituents views and from the majority of Wisconsinites. [...]

I LIKE IKE!

On November 8, 1954 President Dwight Eisenhower (Ike) wrote a letter to his brother Edgar. The two, while very close, had been battling since they were kids. Things did not change while Ike was president, as they continued their debate in a series of letters (a bit before e-mail). Edgar had always complained that [...]

New DNC Ad – Republican Tea Party

Since I know how much you like DNC ads, I thought you’d like this new one that ties the Republican Party to their loony constituents in the Tea Party. Notice which prominent Wisconsin Republican shows up in the ad. [...]

Just to clarify

Since there does not seem to be too much truth coming from Paul Ryan(R-Wall Street) these days, I thought I would help clarify. He was recently on Chris Matthews show(and I am not a huge Matthews fan), but Ryan used it as a chance to forward his failed agenda. Unfortunately he knows how extreme [...]
