    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post The Bush Tax Cut Fight on the Left: Americans for Tax Fairness Launches

    2012-05-25 08:29:51View | Delete

    Thank you! I was going to say that if you had not. George Bush could not possibly have signed any tax cuts in 2010 because George Bush was not president in 2010.

    What a shock!

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Gun-toting weasel Ted Nugent: Obama, Dems are like a Coyote that needs to be shot

    2012-04-17 18:03:06View | Delete

    That Nugent, he’s a man’s man. He talks the talk and walks the walk, right? Except when it was time to register for the draft during the Vietnam era. By his own admission, Nugent stopped all forms of personal hygiene for a month and showed up for his draft board physical in pants caked with his own urine and feces, winning a deferment.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Obama Administration Suddenly Decides “Time Is Right” for ENDA

    2012-04-17 13:57:52View | Delete

    he added that “the Administration hasn’t taken any options off the table.”

    Except the options they can actually do, of course.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post EPA to Release Fracking Rule Today

    2012-04-17 08:14:54View | Delete

    “So there’s a setup for at least some disappointment here. ”

    That goes without saying for Obama.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Buffett Rule to Be Filibustered Today

    2012-04-16 13:47:46View | Delete

    Why don’t the Democrats use budget reconciliation to pass this measure? This assumes they actually want it to pass, of course.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the diary post Poverty Wanking at the Heritage Foundation by masaccio.

    2012-04-14 10:11:08View | Delete

    Hey, the Heritage Foundation designed Obama’s health insurance plan. Who are we to scoff at what they say?

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post What Does Obama Hope to Accomplish with Another Four Years?

    2012-04-09 13:20:17View | Delete

    “We Suck Less” still fits nicely on a bumper sticker and has the virtue of being (barely) true.”

    Why is that true? Last I checked, Romney hasn’t been going around saying the president can order the killing of any American he wants for any reason he wants and start a war without Congress.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post HUD Secretary Donovan Faces Questions on C-SPAN

    2012-04-08 13:02:47View | Delete

    Shaun Donovan has skills. Girls like guys with skills.

    “How’d it go on C-Span?”
    “Worst day of my life! What do you think?”

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Looking at Our Budget and Our Actual Needs

    2012-04-06 11:37:42View | Delete

    “I know, I know, they could all get jobs making solar panels.”

    What, you think there’s no work that needs to be done in this country? No crumbling roads, decaying bridges, collapsing sewer lines? Why the hell are our best and brightest protecting Germany from the USSR while the homefront wastes away?

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Obama’s War on Whistleblowing: Ex-CIA Agent Indicted Under Espionage Act

    2012-04-06 11:13:57View | Delete

    More change we can believe in.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the diary post What is Wrong with the Republican Party? The Democratic Party by wbgonne.

    2012-03-02 13:45:34View | Delete

    I could not agree with this post more.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Day After Blunt Amendment, Republicans Vow “Fight is Not Over”

    2012-03-02 10:36:33View | Delete

    “Like all middle-aged men, Senate Republicans imagine themselves experts on women’s health”

    What a stupid statement.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Torture Memo Author Testifies Against Legislation Banning Indefinite Detention of Americans

    2012-02-29 16:05:45View | Delete

    ” we’ve got nothing to worry about with Franken and DiFi on the job”

    Not to mention Barack Obama, who would NEVER sign a bill like this.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Why Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe’s Decision Not to Run Is Great News for Democrats

    2012-02-29 14:08:54View | Delete

    Wow, the Democrats might get 60 Senators again! Remember all the great accomplishments Obama racked up the last time?

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Obama, Romney Neck and Neck in Key Swing States

    2011-11-10 19:59:15View | Delete

    ” I don’t know but I’d guess not many”

    I think your guess is right.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Obama, Romney Neck and Neck in Key Swing States

    2011-11-10 19:41:16View | Delete

    Why should we cede two branches of government to gain control of the third?

    And anyway, tt’s easy to say “we need a Democratic president to appoint pro-choice judges” but Obama has moved abortion rights backward with his executive decisions.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Obama Punts Keystone Pipeline Decision Until After 2012 Election

    2011-11-10 14:49:32View | Delete

    At least if a Republican wins in 2012, a lot of Democrats will suddenly wake up and begin opposing this pipeline who don’t care about it when Obama wants it.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Another Election Reminder: The Individual Mandate Is Extremely Unpopular

    2011-11-09 13:32:06View | Delete

    “Anyone saying the vote yesterday in Ohio was purely good news for the Obama 2012 campaign ”

    Why would anyone say that in the first place? A pro-union vote is not good news for Obama because Obama is not pro-union.

    Oscar Leroy commented on the blog post Another Jobs Program Poised to Fail Due to Senate GOP Obstructionism Today

    2011-11-03 09:24:27View | Delete

    Excellent point.
