Republicans, Once Giddy About the Sequester, Now Blame Obama for the Predictable Consequences

Posted on Wednesday, April 24th, 2013 by Doug Marquardt

I’ve always maintained that passing the “sequester” legislation was nothing more than a well-planned, Republican strategy – they get the massive cuts they wanted and the opportunity to blame the President for the consequences. Repeating lies has become the radical … Continue reading →

Conservative Studies: Another Case Study In Just Making Stuff Up.

Posted on Saturday, April 20th, 2013 by Ken

Several days ago I posted  about a George Will quote from last Sunday: “Conservatism begins by facing facts.” Beyond Will’s own record of willfully lying whenever he feels like it the last several weeks have seen the dismantling of two widely … Continue reading →

What Paul Ryan Hopes You Gloss Over In His *New* Budget

Posted on Tuesday, March 12th, 2013 by Lucas Kawa

This morning, Paul Ryan released a rehashed version of the “Path to Prosperity” – and it’s nearly identical to the Romney/Ryan economic blueprint roundly rejected by Americans in November. Medicare is turned into a voucher system, Medicaid is block-granted to the states, … Continue reading →

Let’s Go to the Videotape: Lyin Ryan On the Sequester

Posted on Saturday, February 23rd, 2013 by Cindy Rose

Paul Ryan was interviewed on the Hugh Hewitt show two days ago, and when asked about the sequester, had this to say: “We see that as kind of the political game that the President is playing here. Let’s never forget … Continue reading →

Scarborough Gets It Doubly Wrong

Posted on Sunday, February 10th, 2013 by Ken

Paul Krugman was a recent guest on Morning Joe.  That appearance led Joe Scarborough to write an opinion piece titled Paul Krugman vs. the world.  Scarborough starts off on a bad note with an attempted bastardization of Krugman’s position on deficit spending:  Mr. … Continue reading →

Paul Ryan is the Commander in the War on Women

Posted on Monday, January 28th, 2013 by mlitman

There is no “War on Women” Republicans would assert. It’s actually a push to recognize that rapists have rights too. In the case of a sperm donor, he sells his sperm, and thereby forfeits any parental rights to any offspring … Continue reading →

Ryan Borrows a Page From Romney’s Playbook

Posted on Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013 by Cindy Rose

Republicans have done it to America again – plucked some less than qualified dolt from the party rank and file and convinced them they could run the country. Many believe Paul Ryan will seek his party’s nomination in 2016, which … Continue reading →

The “No Budget, No Pay” Farce

Posted on Saturday, January 19th, 2013 by Cindy Rose

I don’t know, maybe they want to at least sound like they’re doing something, but the call for “No Budget, No Pay” is yet another toothless piece of Republican grandstanding. The original idea, put forth by the group “No Labels“, … Continue reading →

Posted on Sunday, December 30th, 2012 by Marc Belisle

As Congressional Republicans trickle back into Washington after a nice, long, relaxing, luxurious holiday vacation, House Speaker John Boehner sits alone in his office, waiting to hold a strategy session on the looming fiscal cliff. Making a piggy bank gallop … Continue reading →

Closing Argument: Humanity vs. Crosses of Gold and Iron

Posted on Saturday, November 3rd, 2012 by Marc Belisle

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are the zombies of old discredited brands of conservatism, animated by a new strain of radical absolutism.  In our past, American heroes have exposed their ilk as fraudulent imperialists.  I predict that on Tuesday 60 … Continue reading →
