Yo, The Stimulus Worked — Thank You President Obama!

Posted on February 21, 2012 by | 10 Comments

Common refrains from people who say it didn’t work:

  • But Obama promised that unemployment would be less than 8%. Horseshit on a stick. First, he didn’t “promise” a damn thing, if everything an incoming president says is turned into a “promise”, well then there has been a whole lot of promise breaking going on in our history. Second, the cautious prediction made during the transition was based on the numbers that the outgoing Bush administration was feeding the Obama team. They were flat out wrong and completely underestimated what was going on in our economy. Hey media, that’s called context. Buy some at the local C-store.

Chimichanga Nation: Messina is a big bigoty Latino insulter

Posted on February 17, 2012 by | 5 Comments

The most viewed and most discussed “news” article in The Hill on Thursday was titled, “GOP demands apology for Obama campaign manager’s ‘chimichanga’ tweet.”

So much for focusing on “the issues” this election season.

Republicans are demanding an apology Wednesday from President Obama’s campaign manager after a tweet that they argue was insulting toward Latino Americans.

In case you’re feeling special, the answer is no: you were not the only one to recognize the irony of the Republican Party “demanding” anything as reparation for offending Latino voters.

A day in the life of the GOP. And American women.

Posted on February 16, 2012 by | 1 Comment

Over on TPM, Evan McMorris-Santoro sums up the day on which the GOP decided it was time to time-travel back at least sixty years, and drag us all along with them for the trip.

Today. That day was today:

There you have it: modern women being told by Republicans that they’re not qualified to talk about their own sexual health, are dressed like “whores” and probably need birth control because they’re so slutty. And this is just in one day.

For details, click here. But hold on tight, because that time machine moves fast.

And here you were worrying that I was being overly optimistic in my earlier post. Tch.

The GOP rides into the sunset.

Posted on February 16, 2012 by | 5 Comments

But we have to be committed to hurrying them along.

Ok, I’m just going to say this crazy thing out loud:

It is my professional opinion, as a typer of words for little pay and longtime citizen of these United States, that the GOP as we know it will soon, within my lifetime, be a thing of the past.

BEFORE YOU START TELLING ME I’M WRONG, let’s focus on the words “as we know it.”

I’m not suggesting that the Republican Party will disappear, nor that a third party will rise to threaten it. No apocalypse, no Zombie Lincoln coming back to regain the brand.

I’m merely suggesting that the GOP that very clearly has little-to-no time for gay people, black people, Latino people, Asian people, not-rich people, not-Christian people, or women people, will, within a generation, have to find a new way to keep big business afloat.

My evidence?

The American people.

The Obama-Santorum Conspiracy

Posted on February 15, 2012 by | 14 Comments

Chess Master or Pawn?

Convinced that President Obama’s contraception battle with the Catholic Church is not a “short-term tactical blunder” but yet another example of the president’s “strategically shrewd” long-game, conservative-turned-Dem-loving-ratiocinator Andrew Sullivan this week dabbled in a potentially promising career as a conspiracy theorist with a column at The Daily Beast that shocked Washington insiders and rubes, Democrats and Republicans, Obama-bots and Birthers alike.

The more Machiavellian observer might even suspect this is actually an improved bait and switch by Obama to more firmly identify the religious right with opposition to contraception, its weakest issue by far, and to shore up support among independent women and his more liberal base….And if this was a trap, the religious right walked right into it.

Not only did the right-wing establishment walk right into it, their constituents turned out en masse to vote on it, handing three presidential primary victories to the rigidly conservative and proudly orthodox Catholic Rick Santorum.

Is it therefore impossible to assume that President Obama expected that such a hot-button issue would effect turnout among conservatives, and therefore timed the contraception ruling in order to boost Santorum’s odds of besting the only candidate with even a remote chance of beating Obama in November, presumed nominee Mitt Romney?

Too Big to Fail — Attorney General Kamala Harris Addresses California Democratic Convention

Posted on February 11, 2012 by | 6 Comments

The Middle Class is Too Big to Fail!

Anyone who wants to tell you that there’s no difference between the parties, that it doesn’t matter who is elected, I present the definitive refutation of that empty cliche: California Attorney General Kamala Harris.

When she walked out on the mortgage settlement negotiations last September, saying that nothing the banks had put on the table was adequate to match the damage they have caused, Californians cheered and bankers soiled themselves, because so much of the losses and the wrongdoing were concentrated in our state. Losing California from the deal made any settlement woefully incomplete.

And when the settlement was announced this week, she had won $18 Billion for Californians and increased the settlement for other states by a total of $6 Billion.

Watch her address to the California Democratic Party convention today in San Diego. This is why we fight, and this is How We Win in 2012.  Continue reading →
