Crazy Is In The Air

September 5, 2009 John florida, Frank Pallone, health care, Jim Greer, medicare, Michelle Bachmann, reform, republicans, Students

This week, we had craziness at Walmart in Georgia, Michelle Bachmann coming through for us again, teabaggers berating a lady in a wheelchair at a health care town hall meeting, and Medicare recipient getting treatment for an injury he received while protesting government run health care. But we start with just a tiny bit of the foolishness being spewed over Obama speaking to school children about doing good in schools this year. What a sad place we’ve been brought to in this country by a small group of small-minded and easily manipulated people.

Tortured Logic on Torture

April 26, 2009June 1, 2009 John america, Bush, cheney, Congress, Dick Cheney, mccain, republicans, secret, torture, V.P.

Sen. John McCain was on Face the Nation Sunday morning, and the contortions he went through to let the previous administration off the hook for their illegal torturing was astounding. He tried to claim that it was all just the result of some bad legal advice. Early in the interview McCain makes the claim that he believes no other Administration will ever make the same mistake (of using bad legal advice…I guess), and torture again.

Healthcare: Government Bureaucrats or Insurance Company Executives

March 8, 2009 John Democrats, healthcare, Insurance Companies, Obama, republicans, Universal Healthcare

Choose your poison. I don’t know the final best answer to the healthcare crisis in this country, but I know it’s a mess, and it has to be fixed. I know one thing that is an absolute certainty. This problem will never be solved until the insurance companies and their influence are removed completely from the process.

Gotta Love Chuck Schumer

February 24, 2009February 25, 2009 John Bobby Jindal, Chuck Schumer, Economic Stimulus Package, Haley Barbour, Obama, republicans

Chuck Schumer is calling bullshit on these Republican Governors who are grandstanding on the stimulus bill. According to Talking Points Memo Schumer has written a letter to the White House saying the stimulus bill does not include any provision allowing Governors to pick and choose which parts of the stimulus money they want to take. Schumer is telling the Administration to tell the governors that it’s all-or-nothing.

Republicans Continue to Fall Back In It

February 5, 2009February 5, 2009 John GOP, Jim DeMint, Obama, republicans, Stimulus Package

As in “Shit and fall back in it.” The Republican plans were completely repudiated in the last election, they are scrambling to try to dress up the brand, and their only solution is to try and obstruct an economic recovery. It seems they went off to their big annual meeting, and applauded each other because every one of the Republicans in Congress voted No on the economic stimulus package.
