Fight for Healthcare Reform and the Other Things, Make Republicans DEFEND Their Obstruction

This is my one, fundamental complaint with Democrats and the Democratic Party . . .

Why do Democrats think the People want to put them in charge if — on the big issues — all Democrats do is compromise and seek bipartisan support when they’re in near total control?  After all, Democrats can just as easily play that role as the MINORITY as opposed to the MAJORITY party.  Lead, Fight, and Get the Things Done that Need Getting Done!

Simple — If it’s right, and you can make it happen, DO IT!  Once done and done well, the People will love the [ more . . . ]

Rush Limbaugh: A Study in Soullessness?

Consider the following thought argument . . .

Rush Limbaugh has no soul as no soul could be left untouched by the cataclysmic earthquake in Haiti.

Is it really as simple as that? Is is possible Rush’s behavior over the past week has not just proved his vulgarity . . but also his lack of any soul whatsoever?

Rush Limbaugh has redefined the notion behind our RACK Award (Republicans Against Civility & Kindness). He’s actually taken it to a whole new level, and that’s not at all meant as a compliment.

Launching #PledgeNow Campaign on Twitter [#HRC #Senate #Healthcare]

It’s past 8PM on Saturday evening on November 21, 2009, and the United States Senate just voted — weirdly enough — on one of the most critical votes of the year, if not perhaps a generation, that of proceeding with debate on Healthcare Reform.

I say ‘weirdly enough’ because it’s actually a really simple procedural vote that has since become perhaps THE most contentious vote of the year.  Simply put, NO Republican wants to even talk about Healthcare Reform.  And that’s embarrassing to us as a Nation and to the Republican Party, in particular.

Again, NO Republican actually wanted to formally talk [ more . . . ]

Sarah Palin Maxes Out at Uber-Joe-The-Plumber Status

Like a comet having reached its closest distance to the sun only to move steadily into the deep, dark recesses of space, Sarah Palin is fading from her maximum brilliance, having peaked at Uber-Joe-The-Plumber status over the past days / weeks.

The date of her actual maximum was clouded by babbling, interference in the New York’s 23rd district House race, Facebook posts, and buildup to a book release that — while anticipated — seems to have fallen with as much visual appeal as NASA’s recent mission to collide a satellite with the moon.  (Fitting to Sarah Palin’s ’scientificless approach’, only scientists saw the [ more . . . ]

Interesting, What are the Results of New York’s 23rd District?

Elections can be funny things some times — Take Senator Al Franken winning in Minnesota!

What’s interesting — and what I picked up on Twitter thanks to @KatyinIndy — is that the vote in New York’s 23rd district is still being counted.  More importantly, the gap in votes between the ‘winner’, Bill Owens, and the principle ‘looser’, Doug Hoffman, is tightening, though it’s still a fairly wide margin.  And that raises an interesting question, exactly how / why was Bill Owens sworn into office on Friday, November 6?

Well, it’s an interesting question — and I do think this is worth looking [ more . . . ]

Moderate Republicans Should Breakaway and Form Their Own Party

Yes, I know — It’s been said before. But I don’t think it’s ever been truer than it is right now, and now is the perfect timing to do it.

First of all, look at the Republican Party’s infrastructure and what they currently have in place, starting with the Republican National Committee.

There isn’t anything there, at least very little of any actual value. The RNC is a piece of junk and, led by Party Chairman Michael Steele, as apt to say something palatable as it is to say something that gives most Americans the heebie-jeebies. Heck, in a [ more . . . ]

Just Postponed Until 2010?!?

I love Sarah Palin — She’s the verbal gaffe equivalent of President Ford occasionally falling down a set of stairs while disembarking from Air Force One.  Just the other day she offered this in response to Doug Hoffman having lost the House election on November 3rd . . .

“The race for New York’s 23rd District is not over, just postponed until 2010.”  . . . “I commend Doug Hoffman and all the other under-dog candidates who have the courage to put themselves out there and run against the odds.”

Ok, with that loopy Sarah Palin logic, let’s [ more . . . ]

A Suggestion for House Minority Leader John Boehner

Simply put, why don’t you also carry around a copy of the Declaration of Independence while you’re at it!
