And by the way, Marcos you dumbass, it’s “democratic.” If you want people to listen to you, mastering English would be a good start.

Romney/Jindal. Can you say, “historical footnote?”

Lotta zombies in the media just now. I hear they even have a blog.

The point is not whether Newt should be investigated. Waste of time. The point is, he should never, ever, be taken seriously again. Luxuriating in Tuscany while ignoring the debts that you’ve run up shows that you are utterly without principle. Who will ever pay to hear him speak again? And what kind of person would not find that indifference to the consequences of one’s actions objectionable?

Alternative energy. Heh.

I remember her “hoot, hoot, don’t pollute” PSA. That was awesome…

Would it have been better if he’s called Bast a douche? Because that would infer a clean pussy, right?

Karen, thanks for the reminder about what happens when wingnuts are allowed to make policy.

…not to mention the very Republican.

The biggest cheerleaders are those farthest from the fighting.

This is called painting oneself into a corner. Once they’re done excluding faux conservatives all that will remain is…Santorum. Good luck with that

Wingnut welfare is alive and well. We get it.

You are far from superfluous, TBogg, but you used to have better trolls. Just one more thing that money has ruined, I guess.

Ok, OFG, you did show EPI making seemingly contradictory assertions, however, context is everything. They are asserting that the Bush tax cuts did nothing for the middle class, being targeted toward the wealthy. The years since Bush’s 2003 tax cuts show this to be true. Jobs were not created by cutting taxes for the wealthy; their incomes have risen sharply, job numbers have declined. The last quote, “in support of Obama’s deal,” was talking about tax cuts and credits TO THE MIDDLE CLASS. Putting money into middle class hands is by definition, economic stimulus, because we have no choice but to spend it. So EPI was correct again. Your original statement that EPI plays politics with their research was disingenuous, making it seem as though EPI was finding opposite results based on the party in power when actually their findings are logical and correct in both instances.

One sees this a lot in right-wing argument; a blurring of the facts to convince the credulous. Because you know that any explanation countering such an assertion loses three quarters of the audience.

the only interesting “artifact” in this whole thing is the right wing reaction to an utterly meaningless observation.

Hey OldFatGuy, we know, we know, you can always find an example here or there of Dems or Liberals doing the wrong thing–just like Conservatives. The difference, of course is that for Conservatives it’s a way of life, and for Liberals you are pointing to isolated incidents. And I seriously doubt that O’Keefe’s purpose is to prove that “both sides do it.” His purpose is proving that liberals are evil hypocrites. He has failed to prove his thesis with ACORN, NPR, Senator Landrieu and now EPI. He has no regard for the truth, all that matters to him is perception, and that is what he’s trying to impact. He’s a creepy little dipshit who should dig a hole and crawl into it.

Hey, how about a link or two on your assertions regarding EPI?

I was afraid that we’d reached ‘peak asshole’ in this country. How great that new resources are being discovered within our own borders!

I don’t hold this bout of incoherence against Palin, she was looking at Greta Van S when she said it. She probably thought she had stumbled into an Edvard Munch painting.

I think it’s kinda fun when the FDL Opus Dei crowd stops by. Their sanctimony amuses me.

Hey, congrats TB. Now can you convince Bilmon to come back? And Ralph Nader? I don’t think anyone cares about him any more…
