Tide turns?

No public option, no bill = Bye bye Blue Dogs in 2010. Ask me if I care, Zack Space

Ok, I’ve had my good night’s sleep, so I’m not as depressed anymore.  I made a mistake.  My apologies, loyal readers! In this post, I reverted to old tactical politics, thinking the death of the public option could somehow be made to cost Republicans.  That’s how deep I used to be in the tactical politics of [...]

No public option? Hmmmm….Rob Portman will have to pay for that

So this week’s media driven story looks like the death of the public option for health care reform.  I find it fascinating that the response to a bunch of hysterical raving from the hard right about death panels, Stalin, and swastika logos is to gut the number one aspect of reform that makes me interested [...]

KUMBAYA – Teabaggers unite with me and Anthony to denounce Larouchies

I’ve seen it all now.  Anthony and I (here’s Anthony’s video of the same event) were at the Marcia Fudge (OH-11) State of the District/Town Hall in Cleveland today, and Larouchies showed up with the infamous Obama Hitler mustache sign.  One of the people who was holding the sign was a young black man, which [...]

The pathetic human being who is Steve Latourette

Video picked up at HuffPo, which is of course, awesome.  I thought about this last night at the open mic, while I heard this band, Alberta Cross, who ROCK, who are in town for the Burning River Fest….. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video ….and for some reason, this music crystallized [...]

We’re on offense now, folks. Keep it that way.

Anthony takes it straight to the belly of the fucking beast.  Look people – it’s time to go on offense.  Enough sitting on your fucking hands.  Get out there, organize, show up, preferably with a camera, and go. They’ve spent their wad.  They have resorted to disruption, screeching, screaming, bringing guns to presidential town hall meetings, [...]

After repeatedly calling for civility at sleepy GOP town hall, Latourette calls my question BULLSHIT – twice

WELCOME HUFFPO READERS!!!  My thoughts on the event here. The hypocrisy is on full display in this video.  Not a single Republican town hall event is going to be disrupted.  You know why?  Because not a single Republican is going to vote for health care reform, under any circumstance, and their constituents know it.  This video [...]

Bitch musta seen some bad polling

This is pretty significant.  Palin now warns teabaggers to behave themselves. A few days after suggesting that Democratic healthcare proposals being debated in Washington may imperil the life of her son, Trig, Sarah Palin Sunday urged reform opponents to not give the opposition fodder by disrupting town halls. Let me tell you something, folks.  Republicans NEVER back [...]
