DelawareLiberal.Net: Advice For Blanche Lincoln: Go Big Or Go Home

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:15:44 -0500

Blanche Lincoln is one of the worst weak-kneed ConservaDems in the Senate. She’s voted against the public option and seems to be following the losing Creigh Deeds strategy – pretend to be a Republican. Why would people vote for a Democrat if they want a Republican? Steve Benen has similar [...]

The results of the referenda in liberal Washington and Maine would suggest so. Marriage is more popular than limiting government spending. Civil Unions bearly squeaked by in WA and Traditional Marriage won in Maine. President Obama is not hesitant to take propose a four fold increase in the deficit, [...]

And I agree. In fact, quite a few of us have been saying almost exactly the same thing. The key thing to understand about that rally is that it wasn’t a fringe event. It was sponsored by the House Republican leadership — in fact, it was officially billed as a G.O.P. [...]

Oh, wait, Dems weren’t allowed in the clubs’ VIP rooms when the Bushies were cavorting. Anyways, here’s what happened at Sidwell Friends (where the Obama girls go to school) this morning. I am sure that the Quaker school took this message from the Westboro Baptist Church directly to heart: “Quakers?! Are you frigging [...]

It’s Monday and I still have a bit of a high from Saturday’s passage of the historic health care reform bill.

According to the Gouverneur Times, Democrat Bill Owens broke 4 campaign promises in his first 24 hours in office.

When you have to distract people at home, make up an enemy. President Hugo Chavez is once again trying to scare everyone into thinking an invasion is coming. Does anyone believe Columbia and the U. S. want to invade Venezuela? Maybe if you watch his state control media. [...]

DelawareLiberal.Net: DE Rethugs Prove the Obvious: All About Politics, Not Responsible Governing

Someday soon, a smoking gun of a document will surface. Possibly penned by Frank Luntz, Eye of Newt Gingrich, or some other Rethuglican ‘thinker’. The document will confirm what should already be obvious. At every level of government, the Rethug strategy is to delay and seek to stop anything of value [...]

For over a year I have pondered over the Republican man-child. And while I do believe their views on abortion, marriage, and women can pretty much be summed up by saying “it’s about the sex,” I’ve come to realize that that’s only a sophomoric side effect. It’s really about control [...]

I had earmarked Krugman for a post this morning but (as usual) got sidetracked in the Eschaton comments and ended up posting it there. And I got a front-paged hat tip for it! (thanks Molly, you know us Atriots live for that).

Delaware Libertarian: Leslie Gelb exposes the truth about Afghanistan and General McChrystal's numbers game

It's in today's Daily Beast, and even though it has been said here and elsewhere before, reaching the MSM with this story is a good thing. General McChrystal is being not just disingenuous but damn near dishonest, as Leslie Gelb details:

Are you aware of the logic of the Stupak amendment? John Aravosis explains: The House passed the anti-choice Stupak amendment last night. Basically, the amendment stops any government money from funding insurance plans that cover abortions. The twisted logic being that any money connected to any insurance company covering abortions is [...]
