White House Mocks 'Politico' With Super-Mean Email Forward
Commented Dec 02, 2009 at 21:43:03 in Media
“One day this week, msnbc's Andrea Mitchell hyped the Politico article as breaking news... upcoming exciting news.... throughout her entire hour. I was appalled. When the goppolitico operative finally appeared at the end of the show to promote his tripe, she gushed all over him.”
Conservatives/Republicans Have "New Rules" for President Obama
Commented Oct 31, 2009 at 17:33:24 in Politics
“Excellent Judge Sarokin, I'm a new fan!
And because FoxNews is the one outlet promoting these new 'rules' non stop... is exactly why they should NEVER be considered a news organization and why the White House and should NEVER treat them as such!”

Tim Pawlenty Goes Off On Obama: "Corrosive"

“"Do republicans know anything about history or do they make it up as they go along? "
They absolutely make it up as they go along. They are all vigoriously engaged in revisionism, from school books to talk shows to PR campaigns "leaked" as news.”

Why is Harry Reid Covering Up a Secret Senate Filibuster?
Commented Oct 26, 2009 at 14:43:17 in Politics
“I don't understand this listing of Senators against the public option....
"Even caucus members who are not keen on a public option like Joe Lieberman, Blanche Lincoln, Tom Harkin, Jeff Bingaman, Tom Carper and Mary Landrieu "
Tom Harkin is a ...huge... proponent for the public option and Jeff Bingaman says he is for it also.
The others are traaaaitors that's true.”

Why Journalists Shouldn't Be Defending Fox News

“Great Dan thanks! I especially love this..." the electronic evangelist of an ultra-partisan and non-reality-based world view."
The saddest part is that it is precisely because of their twisted wold view that they truly believe they are the only ones telling the truth.
These are your words describing true journalism but foxbeckrush all believe this is exactly what THEY are doing.
"journalists who excel at their work -- by asking cheeky questions, exposing important things that the president would prefer be kept secret, holding the powerful accountable and playing host to a vibrant and informed exchange of a wide range of political opinions."
How in the world can this be rectified? Nothing in this world would change their minds. Foxbeckrush followers are proud to be lied to, happy to spread the hate, and proclaim they are the only ones with the 'real' news. Thankgod their numbers are shriveling. It is really scary though that ,at the top, this twisted world view is held by alot of rich powerful people.”

“I have found that when Beck makes any sense at all, it's when he's l-y-i-n-g. I will give him credit for one thing: he admits he's an entertainer. Limbaugh won't even do that, and that hurts the conservative cause.”
GOP Favorability Rating The Worst Since Clinton Impeachment
Commented Oct 24, 2009 at 14:12:04 in Politics
“CNN has crawl "gop favorable rating lowest in 25 years." But when they had a, much hyped beforehand, segment on the numbers...none were given. Just vaguely stated that gop was down but so was all of congress. Way to spin it!!!”

“Is Fox news covering this news? Oh, I forgot, they aren't actually a news organization.
How is Fox spinning this one?
Looks like Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, etc. have finally achieved "Mission Accomplished".
They have scared their own party to death.
It's a little late for the GOP now to claim these hacks don't represent their party, it looks like they do in a big, big, way.
The only bipartisan agreement out there is Fox allows too much negativity that is actually hurting the GOP, not the Democrats they are attacking.
Dems have so much ammunition from the public comments made by Fox and extremists on the right that the next election regardless of the Fox influence will likely still go to Democrats because people don't like what Fox is doing even if viewers are still there.
GOP should have spoken out to stop the falsehoods from Fox and tried to actually help their constituents instead of being bystanders in a Fox mud slinging fest they thought would benefit them.”

“Yeah, that confuses me. I thought he was one of the few good guys. If he voted against cloture and therefore for allowing the bill to be filbustered to dea.th, there has to be a good reason, one would hope. ...I just don't know enough about that bill I guess.

“S1776
A bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for the update under the Medicare physician fee schedule for years beginning with 2010 and to sunset the application of the sustainable growth rate formula, and for other purposes.
So... A YES vote was a vote to end debate and instead get to actually vote on the bill. Because the cloture motion failed, debate may continue and therefore the bill may be killed by filibuster.
Do I have that correct?
I see that this was an update to physician fee schedule, but which way and is this a good thing for the people, or a bad thing? (I've seen no reporting on it.) ...I presume someone knows and can save us from reading the bill ourselves!
Thanks

this isn't the vote for cloture for the whole reform bill, is it? it's just for revising the medicare schedule...right?
trying to keep up with the sausage-making going on.”

"moving to define whatever plan that emerges as a combination of Medicare cuts, tax increases, higher insurance premiums and rising overall costs."
So....no matter what is in the bill they are GOING TO LIE about it. And they have the gall to announce their plan ahead of time.
They will LOSE seats in 2010!”

This is real life. This is the future of our country on the line. Joe 'quit on principle' Q-U-I-T-? So he won't have to write an apology book later?
How, HOW in the world? would this benefit our country?
It isn't like the corporate military industrial complex would roll over ....."oooh Joe quit, I guess we have been wrong. We give up."
We NEED Joe and his voice, strong voice, fighting for us all every day.”

“Sam I respect and appreciate your work very much...but this is your last paragraph.....
"But while the administration certainly appreciates progressive new media, it remains wary of it. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, in particular, regards the online left as impractical and counterproductive. While Communications Director Anita Dunn and Press Secretary Robert Gibbs both have worked hard to make new media a fixture of the Obama communications strategy, the West Wing favors the old media guard -- granting them access and, in the case of Harwood, anonymous quotes in attempts to advance its agenda."

“It would NOT take a brainiac to figure out who the left bloggers can count on as an enemy in the White House, and that would be Emmanuel, who's triangulating, appease the MOR crowd ways are what Obama needs to jettison. The man is a useless troublemaker. I am not a Clinton hater, but Emmanuel symbolizes all that was wrong with the Clinton years, with vain attempts to tack right and sacrifice the more liberal elements of the Dem base...unbeknownst to those like Emmauel and others who tout his point of view in this Administration, such a tactic backfired back then, and still will now. Obama needs the base in 2010 and 2012...any desire to stand by the Emmanuel wing of the party will end up being the reincarnation of Repub power in Washington...squash Emmanuel now, and Obama and Dems stay in good shape...let him continue his shenanigans, we lose.”

There are alot of forces out there that would love to keep the left questioning Obama. Let's just all make sure that we aren't p/ssed over something that is not true and planted on purpose.
Within minutes of President Obama accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, John Harwood totally knocked the President for being awarded for doing nothing. He acted like he would be a hero for being the first one to say such a thing. But luckily all he got was questioning looks at his sanity.”
