Meet the New Boss
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how 'Chuck', has managed to derail the democratic agenda? Almost single handedly? Give this man credit. He knows what he is doing. And considering the trashing his party took in the last election, it is no small feat to topple the agenda of the winner soon soon after an election. 'Chuck' never got that memo. He acts, and thinks and gets results as if his party still controlled the agenda. Down home farm boy charm, has charmed the big city rubes right out of power. His job is almost done. Another few ...
Beckola…
Oh come on Glenn...really...giving a little kid health care is not the end of yours or anyone's liberty. I mean seriously. The only 'turning point' is the end of political fraud by your clients, the end of the medical insurance fraud by your clients, a whole lot less suffering and reduction of the national deficit. You've managed to find a demographic that prefers an uneducated ignoramus rather than facts. Your money train will go on Glenn. You will never be discovered for your own lies. And the poor, and the sick will stop suffering. It's a win win situation.
Break bread with this guy at your own risk.
Meet the big problem for Democrats not to mention, public policy. Max Baucus is Democrat in the same way Benedict Arnold was American, which is to say, in [caption id="attachment_204" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="health Comittee Chariman Baucus"][/caption] name only and for one purpose only. While enjoying the title his membership in a majority party has given him, Max has been an integral part of the Republican game plan. I'm betting a big Mac that next election if Max runs, he will run as either independent or Republican. Let's not blame Max. He got his seat and held it because a timid party allowed it. ...
Save the party, save the country? Yep.
Too dramatic I think I can hear you say. Too partisan. Too 'Repbulican' like. No party is the country. In a more normal time, I would have to agree. But we are not in normal. We are so far from normal, we can't even see normal. The Republican party is stealing not just an election, but a democracy. Our democracy. And its time for Democrats to adopt a Win America attitude. Lets be clear about what the political dynamic is in Washington. Lets be clear about who is doing what, in Washington. One one side we have the Democrats who persist ...
Unemployed at last.
In the end the medium is the message, and the medium of Glen Beck was hate. Not to mention naked greed. The distribution channel was Fox. No surprise there. One could have hoped that the half of America's political system that lost the election would have accepted its loss, and worked on better policy. But with all the energy of the Glenn Becks of the world, why bother? Absent choherent policy, incoherent hate keeps the Republican ball bouncing. Until as one Fox propagandist put it, something could 'stick' to the 'teflon' president that could bring him down. Frustrating as it might be ...
No Country for failed Hope and Change.
When the Republicans started saying that the President played politics in the Chicago way Americans knew oppostion tactics had changed. No more policy differences. No more compromise on how best to achieve a policy end. It was all, every bit, now hard scrabble'. There is no country for failed hope and change. It didn't help that his own party was spineless, and possibly leaderless. Shall we add 'clueless'? All the Republicans and the Tea Party had to do, was keep their own base angry, and disenchant the President's. Policy frustration has multiple benifits. After 'hope and change' fails, who will care who runs things if they ...
Game Plan
Not that everyone else hasn't said, I just have a need to say it too. The game plan for Republicans is to win back power. How that is done, who or what gets sacrificed is besides the point. And while the party in power has been trying to do politics in a new way, the party out of power has been playing rope a dope. Successfully. What will happen next is this; the administration will be slow walked to the brink of the next election. Soon Republicans will begin a new line of attack-'to let the people vote'. The argument will ...
How Weak can one President be?
How weak can one president be? The answer is, 'very'. When Obama took office he thought to do politics differently. Less acerbic, more cooperative. Good idea I say. So too, did the people who elected him. The problem with the strategy is one needs a willing partner on the other side of the table who will equally embrace the value. What the president got was 'team rope a dope'. Frustrating as that can be, more frustrating is the absolute lack of spine on the part of the majority in both houses. With far smaller numbers Republicans would ran their opposition over ...

Mad as Beck
Bill Buckley was a lion of the right unlike few the world has seen. His intellect was a force of nature and relentless in pointing out weakness in liberal thinking. So confident was Buckley he would on a weekly basis both in print and on television engage with the strongest minds of the right for a political skirmish that could only be... more...
