Tweet of the Day

I guess image of Marine holding umbrella for CofC just too much for cons. Black guy w/ power to make white guy do that hits racist bullseye.

Social Security and 2016

The sound you hear is the thundering silence on the part of 2016 hopefuls on the subject of Social Security. Elizabeth Warren has said she was shocked by the President's proposal to for a chained CPI; but she has not said that she would oppose cuts to Social Security under any circumstances whatsoever. Clinton has maintained a deafening silence. If Clinton were to say that the program is just fine and no cuts should be made, it would immediately shift the national debate. Clinton could probably sink all proposed cuts just by herself. But she says nothing. Read below the fold...

As opposed to academic quote whores

Never believe top media stars are there to serve public. They exist to make $$, feed their egos & indulge their celebrity.

Don't confuse democracy with the Democratic Party

Patty Murray was a great DSCC head. If Bennet fails there as badly as Steve Israel failed at the DCCC, we may have to kiss democracy goodbye

Harry Reid is the worst majority leader ever

Harry Reid is the worst, that absolute worst senate leader ever. He is oblivious to the mounting humanitarian crisis in our country. He has no sense of urgency, nor does he give any indication that he cares about anything except remaining in the senate, preferably as majority leader, but whatever.

Nevada has been one of the worst hit by the foreclosure crisis, but he won't life a finger to help his own constituents. He is horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

You can't just blame Obama for everything, the entire Democratic party is one big FAIL. Read below the fold...

Social Security, the opportunity for emergent parties on the left

Howard Dean is not the only one questioning his future with the Democratic Party. If the Democratic party does not stand for Social Security, what, if anything, does it stand for?

Many of us have left the Democratic party already, many more will do so if the Democrats attack the crown jewels of the New Deal and Great Society.

So, can the Green Party, or any other emergent party on the left take advantage of the opening? Only if they are willing to do the things that would make them viable. Read below the fold...

The thrill is gone

Been over to Big Orange recently? The thrill is gone. The kool aide has worn off. The Obots had given up and don't even show up anymore. Now that he is reelected, no one has any interest in defending him, and they aren't.

Last I heard, Obama's approval rating was 43%. And that was before his attack on social security. Read below the fold...

What Alex Pareene still has not figured out about 2008

Forgive me for linking to this ridiculous Alex Pareene article about a possible Hillary run in 2016; but something needs to be said.

Obama didn't win in 2008 because of his oh-so-brilliant campaign. He won because he lied. Obama is the biggest con since Enron. Read below the fold...

Obama Budget to Include Cuts to Programs in Hopes of Deal

WASHINGTON — President Obama next week will take the political risk of formally proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget in an effort to demonstrate his willingness to compromise with Republicans and revive prospects for a long-term deficit-reduction deal, administration officials say.

Chuck Schumer (D-Prison Industry)

SEN. SCHUMER: GIVE BACK THE MONEY

Chuck Schumer is the lead Senate Democrat working on immigration reform--he gets to decide whether millions of undocumented immigrants will be imprisoned or legalized. Yet he’s also taken over $100,000 in campaign contributions from the private prison industry. Is it any surprise he’s pushing for billions more dollars spent on increased enforcement and detention of immigrants?

We are ruled by monsters. Read below the fold...
