Republican Health Care Panic Leading Republica the__lie-detector2013-08-04 18:46:32Republican Health Care Panic Leading Republicans appear to be nerving themselves up for another round of attempted fiscal blackmail. With the end of the fiscal year looming, they aren’t offering the kinds of compromises that might produce a deal and avoid a government shutdown; instead, they’re drafting extremist legislation — bills that would, for example, cut clean-water grants by 83 percent — that has no chance of becoming law. Furthermore, they’re threatening, once again, to block any rise in the debt ceiling, a move that would damage the U.S. economy and possibly provoke a world financial crisis. Enlarge This Image Yet even as Republican politicians seem ready to go on the offensive, there’s a palpable sense of anxiety, even despair, among conservative pundits and analysts. Better-informed people on the right seem, finally, to be facing up to a horrible truth: Health care reform, President Obama’s signature policy achievement, is probably going to work. And the good news about Obamacare is, I’d argue, what’s driving the Republican Party’s intensified extremism. Successful health reform wouldn’t just be a victory for a president conservatives loathe, it would be an object demonstration of the falseness of right-wing ideology. So Republicans are being driven into a last, desperate effort to head this thing off at the pass. Over all, then, health reform will help millions of Americans who were previously either too sick or too poor to get the coverage they needed, and also offer a great deal of reassurance to millions more who currently have insurance but fear losing it; it will provide these benefits at the expense of a much smaller number of other Americans, mostly the very well off. It is, if you like, a plan to comfort the afflicted while (slightly) afflicting the comfortable. And the prospect that such a plan might succeed is anathema to a party whose whole philosophy is built around doing just the opposite, of taking from the “takers” and giving to the “job creators,” known to the rest of us as the “rich.” Hence the brinkmanship. No, Republicans may be willing to risk economic and financial crisis solely in order to deny essential health care and financial security to millions of their fellow Americans.

Several surveys of fact-checker records—mostly PolitiFact—strongly suggest that they do. In early June, the Columbia Journalism Review ran a story occasioned by the most recent such study, finding that Republican statements were three times more likely to earn the “pants on fire” rating than Democratic statements. But CJR gave significant attention to the idea that the data can't be trusted, that it might reflect selection bias by fact-checkers. There is a valid point here, of course: fact-checkers aren't doing social science. They aren't doing random sampling. But what CJR never considered was the possibility that fact-checkers might actually under-represent just how mendacious Republicans—and conservatives more generally—really are. After all, there is The Republican War on Science but nothing remotely similar on the Democratic side. I was going to weigh in before Netroots Nation caught up with me. And then came the final Supreme Court decisions of the session, which shifted my focus dramatically from conservatives and science to conservatives and the law.] sfoI dont think you know what any of those words 2013-08-04 18:41:38mean. But you strung them together nicely. the GOP's new southern strategy.... the__lie-detector2013-08-04 18:39:08 Pat Buchanan resurfaces to demand GOP embrace new Southern Strategy We were just talking about how odd it is that all of these hard-right conservatives seem to "accidentally" find themselves advocating racist things, and popping up like a garden gopher comes ... Pat Buchanan? Wow, we haven't heard from Pat for a while; I assume that he fell behind the cushions of a green room couch, way back when, only to be discovered again last week, curled and shriveled, by some very surprised re-upholsterer. Pat's reemergence comes in the form of an essay for conspiracy site WorldNetDaily, which career-wise is only slightly more embarrassing than being mistaken for couch lint. As usual, Pat's going on about how white folks are being overrun by pesky minorities, and that's bad because minorities don't like the Republican Party, possibly for all that stuff Republicans did. He calls it the "crisis of the Grand Old Party," and isn't happy about certain new Republican efforts: Led by Sens. Marco Rubio, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, Republicans are pushing for amnesty and “a path to citizenship” for the 11 to 12 million illegal aliens in the country today. Who are these folks? Perhaps half are Hispanic, but 90 percent are people of color who, once registered, vote 4-to-1 Democratic. One would not be surprised to hear that the Senate Democratic Caucus had broken out into chants of “Go, Marco, Go!” Wow, only half are Hispanic but a full 90 percent are Colored Folks? That's a lot of Colored Folks. I can see why Pat's all worked up. Pat, of course, has a different idea of what to do about the Colored Folks, which is to do exactly what the Republican Party has done about Colored Folks for the last half-century. He blames Bush and other Republicans for not sufficiently re-embracing the wildly successful (and wildly racist) Southern Strategy. I wish I were kidding.

Moral: Wingnut Republicans are wingnut Republicans, and normal people are normal people, and never the twain shall meet. This guy turned his back on a high-paid, high-profile job and burned his bridges. That's how bad these people are: When Republicans appointed Pablo Pantoja to State Director of Florida Hispanic Outreach for the Republican National Committee, they hoped he would be able to bridge the sizable gap that only expanded during the 2012 elections, when the state’s 4.7 million Hispanic voters supported Barack Obama over Mitt Romney by a 20 percent margin. But after months of inaction by Congressional Republicans on comprehensive immigration reform and stiff resistance by Republican-leaning groups like the Heritage Foundation, Pantoja has had enough; on Monday, he announced via email that he was leaving the party and registering as a Democrat: Friend,
Yes, I have changed my political affiliation to the Democratic Party. It doesn’t take much to see the culture of intolerance surrounding the Republican Party today. I have wondered before about the seemingly harsh undertones about immigrants and others. Look no further; a well-known organization recently confirms the intolerance of that which seems different or strange to them. Pantoja goes on to specifically cite last week’s revelation — that an author of Heritage’s false report on the cost of the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill wrote a dissertation in which he suggested that Hispanics are at a permanent disadvantage because they have lower IQs — as the final straw in his political evolution. Prior to assuming the role of state director, Pantoja served in the National Guard, doing multiple tours abroad in Kuwait and Iraq before returning to the states and getting involved in Republican politics. In 2010 he served as a field director in Florida during the midterm elections. houI admit, not all pussy is pretty Fidelitos2013-08-04 18:34:02http://h6img.com/p/1/labia-stretching.jpghouI can't resist, I try but it is like GRAVITY Fidelitos2013-08-04 18:31:06B O O B S ! 
Millennials Killing Off the Religious Right Re the__lie-detector2013-08-04 18:30:50Millennials Killing Off the Religious Right Religious progressives are on the rise. Are we facing down the end of the conservative death grip on religion in America? It's true that religious progressives have always been a part of the conversation—it's not just Republican politicians who pay fealty to God in their public speeches and appearances—but by and large, when faith is discussed in public forums, it's almost always religious conservatives using it as a cudgel to attack women's rights, gay rights, and secularism. That may be changing, however, as the numbers of religious progressives are on the rise, according to the Public Religion Research Institute. In fact, for people ages 18-33, religious progressives outnumber religious conservatives. ThinkProgress reports: According to the survey, 23 percent of people aged 18 to 33 are religious progressives, while 22 percent are nonreligious and 17 percent are religious conservatives. By contrast, only 12 percent of those aged 66 to 88 are religious progressives, whereas 47 percent are said to be religious conservatives. I'm sure religious conservatives had a hunch that they were losing young people long before this polling data confirmed it, just by looking at the people sitting in their pews. Evangelical leaders have been fretting about this loss for a couple of years now, and it's an open secret that the youngest generation finds the reactionary politics and hostility toward science that marks religious conservatism to be repulsive. Some of the kids fleeing the flock just end up having no religious beliefs at all, but some clearly want to retain a connection to faith without having to sign off on the anti-feminism, homophobia, and creationism that comes with the more conservative churches. While it's unwise to write off the possibility of yet another revival of conservative religious mania—conventional wisdom would say that the young progressives will get more conservative as they age, though that's not necessarily true—for the time being, the signs point to a simmering down of the religion wars in the U.S. Religious progressives are politically aligned with the nonreligious, particularly in their opposition to the religious right's impact on politics. lnsA message from Gary Bauer OCisstilldoomed2013-08-04 18:30:46Trayvon Martin is now a household name. I would not be surprised if 99% of the American people know who he is. And why wouldn't they? Even now the stories persist about the tragedy of his death, how we can achieve justice for Travyon and advance the cause of racial reconciliation. In contrast, I would be shocked if half of the public could identify Sean Smith as a victim of the Benghazi attacks. The media show little interest in finding out why he is dead. There are no calls by major news organizations and opinion leaders for justice for Sean Smith. Trayvon Martin regrettably lost his life because of the actions of a neighborhood watchman, as well as his own actions. Reasonable people can disagree about whether George Zimmerman was justified in using deadly force. But that incident was elevated to a cause celebre. President Obama commented on it. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton exploited it. Vigils were held across the country. These statistics speak volumes: A Google News search for "Trayvon Martin" yields 310,000,000 results. The same search for "Sean Smith" produces fewer than 49,000. Smith wasn't killed unintentionally. He was murdered by jihadists, avowed enemies of America. But Barack Obama effectively ignored Smith's cries for help.group of moderate Republicans fighting back agai the__lie-detector2013-08-04 18:28:35group of moderate Republicans fighting back against right-wing nutjobs And in other news, they've also spotted Nessie ...

In fact, it's so quiet that you basically can't hear them at all. Apparently, there are supposed be 30 or 40 members of The Tuesday Group, but the National Review must have a pretty weird definition of "fight back" because you'd never know it from the evidence they provide. Their first example is of Rep. Steve Womack from Arkansas complaining to Eric Cantor about how the Heritage Foundation is attacking some Republicans for being insufficiently pure. And their second example is of Rep. Charlie Dent from Pennsylvania, who publicly criticized Republicans for holding this week's abortion ban vote. If this is what counts as moderates fighting back ... then the GOP is every bit as nutty as we think it is. In the case of Womack, he was complaining about an external group—nothing inside the House Republican Conference. And in the case of Dent, he did complain about the vote, and he did vote against it—but he was one of only six Republicans to do so, and some of those six voted no because they opposed the rape exception. So much for 30 to 40 members, right? And that leads me to my favorite line from the article: One GOP aide explained to me, “I wish the Tuesday Group wer more active. It would help fight the caricature that we are all a bunch of right-wing nutjobs.” Except there's a reason it's not more active. It's because they are a bunch of right-wing nutjobs.

Specifically, I want to help them figure out their messaging over President Barack Obama. You see, there are three versions of Obama floating around wingnut land, and even more nicknames than you can imagine to describe him: 1. He's Barry Soetoro Bambi Obummer O'Carter, the Spineless, Nutless Wonder -- a secular weakling that is being pushed around by Iran and North Korea and making America weak, or... 2. He's Barack Hussein Alinsky, Brutal Chicago hoodlum who rammed Obamacare down our throats (over 14 long months) and brooks no dissent -- shutting down the free press, confiscating guns, and plotting to kill and imprison millions of conservatives into FEMA concentration camps, or 3. He's Captain Teleprompter, Obozo, the Messiah Barack SoVain LOLbama D'Ohbama Snob-ama, too stupid to speak for himself and fixated mostly on his own wonderfulness and celebrity status, while his supporters pray nightly to his visage. Clearly, all three of these cannot be right, and such message confusion dilutes the GOP's ability to define Obama in the minds of most Americans. So let's start with what all conservatives can agree on: The politics are going to overwhelm the policy. It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party. Of course, that will come as a surprise to no one, and it certainly won't help them win anything. But as we can plainly see, the GOP has no interest in winning anyway. unkTexas legislature has a bit of a problem with wo the__lie-detector2013-08-04 18:17:45Texas legislature has a bit of a problem with wommenfolk legislators.

As the debate intensified, their male colleagues in the chamber started meowing and making angry-cat noises. Several times each session, men in the House will make cat noises when two women are debating.

You just say, ‘Gentlemen, don’t bring that to the floor… Just do that at home.’” To be fair to Texas, this does not really sound like rampant sexism, it just sounds like Texas should be rethinking its ill-conceived policy of electing dimwitted 13-year-old boys to higher office. Legislating is generally a job best done with your pants on, and I for one would be keenly interested in knowing whether or not the anti-abortionists are reimbursing the state for all that bandwidth they are using looking at porn. Sen. Davis, I don't suppose you'd be interested in introducing a bill to that effect, would you?

Rand Paul (R-KY) fired the latest shot on Tuesday in an escalating feud with Chris Christie, calling the New Jersey Governor the "king of bacon," a reference to what Paul believes is a poor record on government spending. Paul also suggested that Christie was hurting the GOP by continuing to criticize Paul's positions on national security: It’s not helping the party for him to pick a war with me. It’s a big mistake. It’s not very smart. And it’s not a good way to grow the party. Why would he want to pick a fight with the one guy who has a chance to grow the party by appealing to the youth and appealing to people who would like to see a more moderate and less aggressive foreign policy? Paul's argument stems from a press conference earlier on Tuesday, during which Christie hit Paul for what he characterized as hypocrisy on the topic of Hurricane Sandy aid, and government spending more broadly: I find it interesting that Sen. Paul is accusing us of having a "Gimme, gimme, gimme" attitude toward federal spending when in fact New Jersey is a donor state and we get 61 cents back on every dollar we send to Washington. Interestingly, Kentucky gets $1.51 on every dollar they send to Washington. Paul brushed off that suggestion during his interview with Blitzer, pointing to military bases on Kentucky soil as the primary recipient of federal funds. "What does he want to do, shut down military bases in Kentucky?" Paul asked. Christie accused Republicans such as Paul of engaging in "esoteric debates" over foreign policy rather than working to prevent "the next attack that comes that kills thousands of Americans." Paul is a vocal opponent of NSA surveillance, a stance Christie characterized as "dangerous." Sponsored Links Paul hit back on Monday, suggesting that it was actually Christie who was unserious about national defense. He echoed that sentiment during his interview with Blitzer Tuesday night, excoriating Christie for being "on the wrong side of history." "I don't think the Bill of Rights is esoteric. I don't think the Fourth Amendment is esoteric," Paul said. "I think the idea that we should have a right to privacy is not esoteric to a lot of people in this country." laxA Democrat and a Republican go for a walk DBagain12013-08-04 18:17:11 A Republican and a Democrat are walking down the street and they come up to a homeless man.

Specifically, I want to help them figure out their messaging over President Barack Obama. You see, there are three versions of Obama floating around wingnut land, and even more nicknames than you can imagine to describe him: 1. He's Barry Soetoro Bambi Obummer O'Carter, the Spineless, Nutless Wonder -- a secular weakling that is being pushed around by Iran and North Korea and making America weak, or... 2. He's Barack Hussein Alinsky, Brutal Chicago hoodlum who rammed Obamacare down our throats (over 14 long months) and brooks no dissent -- shutting down the free press, confiscating guns, and plotting to kill and imprison millions of conservatives into FEMA concentration camps, or 3. He's Captain Teleprompter, Obozo, the Messiah Barack SoVain LOLbama D'Ohbama Snob-ama, too stupid to speak for himself and fixated mostly on his own wonderfulness and celebrity status, while his supporters pray nightly to his visage. Clearly, all three of these cannot be right, and such message confusion dilutes the GOP's ability to define Obama in the minds of most Americans. So let's start with what all conservatives can agree on: The politics are going to overwhelm the policy. It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party. Of course, that will come as a surprise to no one, and it certainly won't help them win anything. But as we can plainly see, the GOP has no interest in winning anyway. unkTexas legislature has a bit of a problem with wo the__lie-detector2013-08-04 18:17:45Texas legislature has a bit of a problem with wommenfolk legislators. And wommenfolk reporters. And wommenfolk constituents. During the House budget debate in April, Brenham Republican Lois Kolkhorst and Austin Democrat Dawnna Dukes were debating an amendment. As the debate intensified, their male colleagues in the chamber started meowing and making angry-cat noises. Several times each session, men in the House will make cat noises when two women are debating. […] When I asked Van de Putte if this immaturity is ever apparent on the Senate floor, she answered, “At times. You know, [pornographic images] on their personal iPads or something. You just say, ‘Gentlemen, don’t bring that to the floor… Just do that at home.’” To be fair to Texas, this does not really sound like rampant sexism, it just sounds like Texas should be rethinking its ill-conceived policy of electing dimwitted 13-year-old boys to higher office. Legislating is generally a job best done with your pants on, and I for one would be keenly interested in knowing whether or not the anti-abortionists are reimbursing the state for all that bandwidth they are using looking at porn. Sen. Davis, I don't suppose you'd be interested in introducing a bill to that effect, would you? Now that would be a debate worth watching. unkRand Paul: Chris Christie Is 'The King Of Bacon, the__lie-detector2013-08-04 18:17:18Rand Paul: Chris Christie Is 'The King Of Bacon,' Not Serious About National Defense Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) fired the latest shot on Tuesday in an escalating feud with Chris Christie, calling the New Jersey Governor the "king of bacon," a reference to what Paul believes is a poor record on government spending. Paul also suggested that Christie was hurting the GOP by continuing to criticize Paul's positions on national security: It’s not helping the party for him to pick a war with me. It’s a big mistake. It’s not very smart. And it’s not a good way to grow the party. Why would he want to pick a fight with the one guy who has a chance to grow the party by appealing to the youth and appealing to people who would like to see a more moderate and less aggressive foreign policy? Paul's argument stems from a press conference earlier on Tuesday, during which Christie hit Paul for what he characterized as hypocrisy on the topic of Hurricane Sandy aid, and government spending more broadly: I find it interesting that Sen. Paul is accusing us of having a "Gimme, gimme, gimme" attitude toward federal spending when in fact New Jersey is a donor state and we get 61 cents back on every dollar we send to Washington. Interestingly, Kentucky gets $1.51 on every dollar they send to Washington. Paul brushed off that suggestion during his interview with Blitzer, pointing to military bases on Kentucky soil as the primary recipient of federal funds. "What does he want to do, shut down military bases in Kentucky?" Paul asked. Christie accused Republicans such as Paul of engaging in "esoteric debates" over foreign policy rather than working to prevent "the next attack that comes that kills thousands of Americans." Paul is a vocal opponent of NSA surveillance, a stance Christie characterized as "dangerous." Sponsored Links Paul hit back on Monday, suggesting that it was actually Christie who was unserious about national defense. He echoed that sentiment during his interview with Blitzer Tuesday night, excoriating Christie for being "on the wrong side of history." "I don't think the Bill of Rights is esoteric. I don't think the Fourth Amendment is esoteric," Paul said. "I think the idea that we should have a right to privacy is not esoteric to a lot of people in this country." laxA Democrat and a Republican go for a walk DBagain12013-08-04 18:17:11 A Republican and a Democrat are walking down the street and they come up to a homeless man. The Republican gives the man a card with the number of a job bank and then reaches into his pocket and pulls out $20 and gives it to the man. The Democrat says "You shouldn't have to do that!! Government should have programs in place to help that man." The Republican says "Yes, but I think it's better and more noble to give directly and not expect other people to solve life's problems - and honestly I'm a little ashamed of you for trying to pass the responsibility to 'government!'" The Democrat says "I see your point and I'm sorry" then the Democrat reaches into the Republicans pocket, pulls another out $20 and gives it to the man.
