“The special election for the 23rd Congressional District is an important test leading up to the mid-term 2010 elections. Our best chance to put responsible and principled leaders in Washington starts here, with Dede Scozzafava.”
November 4: Rush Limbaugh on the Democratic win in NY-23.
“But, the right message; we cannot forget how this whole thing happened in the first place. There was not a primary. The right message here would indict the way party bosses, Republican Party bosses and these big thinkers like Newt screwed the whole thing up from the get go.”
“I think the nomination was a mistake. I wish that we had gotten involved earlier. And if we had, I would have done everything I could to make sure she had not been picked. And she clearly proved in the last few days that she [Dede Scozzafava] was in no way a loyal Republican.”
Gingrich becomes another repub willing to bow at the feet of Limbaugh as the fate of the Republican party rests largely in the hands of a pompous, lying, egoistic ‘entertainer’.

Kos tackles the hypocrisy of Karl Rove and Fox News. .
.
Ok. It makes sense…except for this… .
.
Rove bitches about the tactics of the current administration in regards to Fox but the administration in which he was a key player did the EXACT same thing.
Their hypocrisy has no bounds, really.

You all know those wonderful tea party patriots, the ones with signs proclaiming a deep love of country and an equally deep hatred for the President. Well here’s a clip of a group from Americans For Prosperity, one of the key organizers for those tea party fun-fests, reacting after hearing that Chicago lost their bid to host the 2016 Olympic games. .

Those are “Americans” cheering that America lost. Need you know more about the true intent of these people?

An over-exuberant school teacher in New Jersey had her class of 8 year old students sing songs of praise for President Obama. All of this happened last February during Black History Month.
Here’s the tape. .
.
As is typical with anything concerning the president these days, the conservative media went nuts when the above tape came out last week. They claimed the school was trying to indoctrinate the children. The school was temporarily in lock down when the principle began receiving death threats. Sigh.
My belief is that the teacher was wrong in having her students praise anyone, president or otherwise. It is not a teacher’s duty to impart her political beliefs on a bunch of 8 year olds. As for the overreaction from the right, it’s just typical of their hypocrisy.
I give you this. .

Thursday’s annual Census Bureau report on income, poverty and access to health care-the Bureau’s principal report card on the well-being of average Americans-closes the books on the economic record of George W. Bush.
It’s not a record many Republicans are likely to point to with pride. On every major measurement, the Census Bureau report shows that the country lost ground during Bush’s two terms. While Bush was in office, the median household income declined, poverty increased, childhood poverty increased even more, and the number of Americans without health insurance spiked. By contrast, the country’s condition improved on each of those measures during Bill Clinton’s two terms, often substantially.
The Census’ final report card on Bush’s record presents an intriguing backdrop to today’s economic debate. Bush built his economic strategy around tax cuts, passing large reductions both in 2001 and 2003. Congressional Republicans are insisting that a similar agenda focused on tax cuts offers better prospects of reviving the economy than President Obama’s combination of some tax cuts with heavy government spending. But the bleak economic results from Bush’s two terms, tarnish, to put it mildly, the idea that tax cuts represent an economic silver bullet.
Dismissing criticism of the current president by asking, “What about Bush?” serves no purpose…except this: where the hell were these tea party crazies for the last 8 years? Why was it fine for President Bush to destroy the economy, start a phony war, make a mockery of the Constitution, grow big government, double the national debt by adding $5 trillion to it, use the Justice department for partisan purposes and more?
How do these yelling, hypocritical puppets (strings being pulled by Fox and the rest of the conservative media) expect the rest of the country to take them seriously when they sat there for 8 years without saying a word while the man they voted into office twice took the country to the brink of ruin?
