Howard Dean: ‘Fight to Stop Right-Wing Republicans From Rolling Back Progress’

It’s helpful sometimes for conservatives to take a peek inside the echo chambers of liberalism, which is why I subscribe to a few mailing lists, including Democracy For America (DFA) which sent me this e-mail from Howard Dean: Robert – We’ve come a long way together over the years. We’ve had many victories and our […]

Lefty Logic: Think Progress Is Now Trying to Blame Republicans for (Alleged) Rape by Rakheem Bolton, or Something

Would somebody please tell these a–holes that the election is over and they can shelve the “Republicans are pro-rape” propaganda until the DCCC starts cranking out attack ads around Labor Day 2012? You can read the whole story at the San Francisco Chronicle — San Francisco is a helluva long way from Silsbee, Texas, I hasten to […]

Arianna Huffington: Please Retain Your Bogus Interpretation

by Smitty (via Lucianne) On ABC, “This Week With Christiane Amanpour”: “Dick Armey is making the mistake that a lot of people are going to make on Tuesday night, which is overinterpreting the results,” she said to anchor Christiane Amanpour and other guests on the roundtable this morning. “This victory by Republicans, which I fully […]

Jimmie Bise Asks: ‘Why Should The GOP Compromise?’

Every recent poll shows that the voting public hate the progressive agenda the Democrats have foisted on us. They want Hope and Change undone and the […]

Anne Lamott At Salon With Your Hooey Of The Day

by Smitty This Salon post, “Why I believe in a Democratic comeback” merits stepping out of “Don’t get cocky” mode long enough to explain something to the author. There is nothing as sweet as a comeback, when you are down and out, about to lose, and out of time. The almost certain victors are already […]

Room Under The Bus For As Many Elites As Required

by Smitty Does the Progressive wing, breast, and thigh of the GOP not get it? Belvedere reports that Senator Gregg is making squishy noises in the vicinity of the Depends at the thought of repealing ObamaCare. Paco points to Rush Limbaugh, emphasis mine: Well, now it’s official. The elites in the GOP want to compromise […]

Trials With Progressive Politicians Could Prove Tricky

by Smitty Instapundit notes An experimental drug developed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh reverses age-related memory decline in mice, returning their brains to a more youthful state of cognitive function. Now, if used on Lefty rats from the 111th Congress, the chance of a head ‘splosion when they recall their oath to support […]

‘I Want Your Money’ Was On The Money, Indeed

by Smitty I give it eight out of ten on IMDB. The movie essentially juxtaposes the Gipper and BHO personally, while building a mostly linear historical framework of Progressivism in which to drop the ideological conflict. I Want Your Money works for at least three audiences: Conservatives will have a blast enjoying Reagan, McCotter, Gingrich […]
