Oops, this is timesthree, I used my wife’s tablet to reply and forgot she was logged on.

Thank you for that compliment, and others, shootthatarrow, and may I say I enjoy reading your observations immensely.

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Of Stollers, Greenwalds and Silvers: Compare and Contrast by dogbroth.
I was pretty sure, based on the content, and, though some effort was made to disguise it, the writing style, that our old friend had returned. That link was the clincher.
It’s like he wanted to be outed :)

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Deficit obsession is a creation of the ultra right message machine by Donald Goldmacher.
With respect to your title:
Deficit obsession is a creation of the ultra right message machine
Since Obama is one of the current poster boys of deficit obsessing, I think you just called him an ultra right-winger.
Welcome to the fifth stage of grief.

X2.
In my experience, the Democrats have been preaching the “change from within” sermon since the Clinton years.

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Remember, This Holiday Season: Nothing Shows You Care Like a TASER® by wendydavis.
You deadpanned this one out of the ballpark, with a non-lethal dose of irony on top, of course :)
Now, get on the ground and put your hands on top of your head while I go out and buy me one of those infernal gadgets :O

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Obama is almost for marriage equality. Almost, but not really. by Bill Perdue.
Ditto on all the comments. The consummate liar/betrayer did nothing more than mumble a platitude. Has he put the weight of the executive branch behind any policy changes? Has he signed anything? Changed any rules? Will he say it on the campaign trail? It is baffling how so many people seem so eager to be [...]

Eloquently said, shootthatarrow. The O-bots ignore the horror hidden behind the smile.

Alternate ID commented on the diary post If Romney is Elected, it’ll be Your Fault by crookedealbuster.
And there are some of us who still remember the present and how Wall Street pays for Obama’s ads through its massive campaign contributions. Keep in mind that Nader had absolutely no control over the Republican PAC that paid for those ads. The PAC paid for them not because they agreed with Nader, but as [...]

IMO, ignoring the effect of the economy on the working and middle classes will turn out to be Obama’s biggest strategic blunder. If the economy was doing OK for the working and middle classes, the Obama campaign’s calculated risk would likely be a sure thing. Pissed progressives who are willing to say no to Obama [...]

Alternate ID commented on the diary post If Romney is Elected, it’ll be Your Fault by crookedealbuster.
I agree 100% Obama has taken the country right-ward at a faster pace than any president before. As Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report said, Obama is the more effective evil. I’ve been an independent voter all my life, mostly voting third party but sometimes supporting Democratic candidates. No more Democrats for me, period. As [...]

Alternate ID commented on the diary post If Romney is Elected, it’ll be Your Fault by crookedealbuster.
The SCOTUS argument is bogus. If you look at Obama’s pattern of behavior, there is no logical reason to think he will move left if reelected. On the contrary, there is every reason to think that he will continue to move toward the right. Despite election year pandering, there is no evidence that Romney is [...]

I can’t stand listening to the serial prevaricator, so I’m glad you were able and willing to translate his shameless pandering doublespeak into English.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. Just wait until Obama gets reelected and moves further to the right.

More great work, Kevin. You are one of my heroes.
The comments are right on the money, and Tanbark, snark aside, you spoke the truth. :)

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Highlights from Frontline’s Money, Power and Wall Street by wendydavis.
Another great diary, Wendy.
IMO, propaganda like this is the worst because it seems so reasonable on the surface that most people are likely to accept it at face value.
The corporatist and government point of view gets shaped and reinforced in a most civilized and accessible format, you might say.

Alternate ID commented on the diary post Krugman: 1% Have “Warped Our Political System” and What It Means by DSWright.
The time for the Democratic Party to reform itself was before they decided to support Obama for re-election. His actions prove he is the best friend the Republicans ever had. By standing by him, the Democrats have proved they are past salvaging. Any resources you put into the Dem party will be used to support [...]
