Life in These Untied States

Whether intentional or not, the talkers and bloggers who appear to be driving the post-Bush crazy train have opened up the conservative tent to some pretty unsavory and dangerous characters.

Should it come to pass that conspiracy theory conservatism wins out once and for all over Goldwater conservatism, the Republican Party will be doomed, broken, kaput.

The right may appear to be crazy -- and they are -- but this doesn't mean it isn't going to work. Let me explain. In another life I was involved in direct mail -- I learned a lot.

There will be plenty of battles in and outside the Democratic Party in the months to come; what is evident now is the very real and uncertain shift toward to left's slightly more pluralistic platform.

"I am ashamed at getting my stimulus bill passed so quickly. Republicans, those masters of bipartisanship, offered their sincere efforts to delay this bill for months and, I admit, I ignored them."

Ms. Ingraham went after John McCain's daughter, Meghan McCain, using weight to get the job done. She might as well have challenged Meghan to a pillow fight.

Apparently, Republicans in Congress and the radical far right don't believe you should fall down on your knees in total obedience to a war president.

The religious right infection (of wanting failure to prove a moral/religious point) has become the Republican illness: root for failure so "we" win ideologically.

I'm really at a loss of what to make of Rush's performance on the whole. It was a rambling, sometimes incoherent, self-indulgent mess.

Only Obama and the financial markets are telling us the truth. Not only can we handle it, most Americans are thrilled to finally have a president who is smart enough to know what's going on.

Instead of policies based on extreme ideology, we need to start a new dialogue about reproductive and sexual health that is based on sound, science-based public policies.

First President Obama wasn't "black enough" for the black left. Then he was "too centrist" in his appointments for the white left. Then he wasn't gay friendly enough. Now he is President.

An interesting narrative coming from the Right is that some day in the future historians are going to uncover presidential memoirs that will finally expose the true genius of the Cheney/Bush duo.

As the country went to the polls this past fall, the meme that America is a "center-right" country surged. I have some data to add to that debate, and it drives a final stake into the center-right talking-point.

The state's chronic fiscal crisis, dramatically deepened by the national financial crisis, is now even more exacerbated by conservative GOP intransigence.
