Rand Paul calls for GOP diversity (a bigger tent?) We've got to go out and we've got to broaden our party, and when we do, we'll be a national party again. We will win again. - Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) Does Rand Paul, above, remind you of Prof. Irwin Corey?  Except Corey makes more sense.  Consider: Marriage is like a bank account. You put it in, you take it out, you lose interest.

Obama's a conservative

2012                                   Conservatives like Reagan, Palin, Obama,  McDonne— !  Obama? “ New liberal spin: Obama's a conservative Academics and liberal pundits have started talking about Obama as right-of-center politically just as he has begun to reach out to independents and moderates in his reelection campaign. Some are true critics who wish he would do more for labor and welfare recipients and implement tougher carbon limits on coal plants. Others are trying to portray Obama as a middle-of-of-the-roader attractive to moderate voters, not the liberal Mitt Romney attacks daily. The latest claim that Obama's a conservative is being made by pundit Paul Street and University of Illinois political professor Anthony DiMaggio in a long review of the Tea Party in the influential journal Critical Sociology. In it they call Obama "deeply conservative" and eager enough for victories that he "caves in" to the GOP. God help us. There is no such thing as a political  "moderate."  There are however the simple minded, witless,disengaged and ignorant. And what are  "independents"  independent of, or from?  The nose on their faces?  ”

The Racist NO NEW TAX Conspiracy

“ Members of Congress who signed no-new taxes pledges are engaging in a criminal conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States because President Obama is black. That’s the theory put forward by Calvin O. L. Henry, president of the Oregon Assembly for Black Affairs, in a July 5 letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. 1000's og Black Rioters Stomp Whitie at Wisconsin State Fair   community history.com Ruh-Roh.  This is going to be a much nastier depression than the thirties version, when comparably few gangstas -  like Bonnie and Clyde  -  acted up.  This time we have whole classes of people who don't obey laws they don't like,  have a huge sense of entitlement, and now, evidently, are told the reason we hate Obama is because he's Black..   Not because he's a racist Marxist thug, but because of his skin color.   Shoot.  Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden are White, and we hate them just as much, and for the same reason.  In a similar vein ... “ The Elite Is Revolting Remember Al Gore?  ...  "The nonviolent part of it isn't finished yet, but we need to have an American spring ... Gore made a direct appeal to somebody named Keith: "I want to tell you, Keith, this country is in trouble. Our democracy has been withering on the vine. It really has been. This has been going on for some time. But this is not an event that can be taken lightly. I know it's difficult to imagine that people who care about the values that this country was based on will rise up and get much more involved in the democratic process. But that is exactly what we need, and that is the only thing that can get our country back on the right track." [more] ”

Baghdad Bob Award Winner

House Delays Debt Plan Vote An earlier Roll Call story announcing that Boehner was postponing the vote on his massive $29B deficit reduction bill (Ahem) contained this Baghdad Bob Award winning spin on tea-partier resistance to that piece of crap.

“ A second Democratic aide said more seriously, “It’s clear Republicans are having trouble getting the votes on their side for Speaker Boehner’s partisan bill, which shows that they should be working with Democrats on something that can actually pass both chambers and be signed into law. ” There was a time when I thought idiocy like this was tongue-in-cheek.  I was stupid.

Huffington: ‘The stimulus package failed’

Arianna Huffington: ‘The stimulus package failed’

“  Yes, Arianna says the $787 stimulus package hasn't worked. And you'll never guess why! Go ahead, guess.  "During the online 'Green Room' segment of ABC's 'This Week' on Sunday, Huffington said  "The stimulus package failed because it was all over the map...  It was not a targeted, clear jobs creation program." I didn't know this was still questionable.  Huffington argued:  “When you consider that infrastructure is crumbling and we have 20 percent of construction workers unemployed, surely there is something we can be doing.”  Well, that was precisely what, according to Obama, the stimulus $$ would be used for in large part - repairing crumbling infrastructure.  So what happened? #Would Obama's Infrastructure-Stimulus Proposal Spend Money in the ... www.newsweek.com/...Sep 8, 2010 #Critics to Obama: Spend the Stimulus Money Already - ABC News Jul 10, 2009 #New Obama plans: 'spend our way out' of downturn www.breitbart.com #YouTube - Limbaugh: Where Did The Dead Spend Their Stimulus Money ‏ 4min - Oct 8, 2010 That's right.  Almost all of it went to reward his friends, and create more strangling government..

Maryland, My Christmas Tree

Maryland Moves to Pass Controversial Tax & Alcohol Laws ...

“   Maryland has passed two hotly debated measures raising taxes on alcohol and extending in-state college tuition breaks to illegal immigrants, officials said. The increase in taxes on alcohol is the first such hike in more than a generation, while the tuition bill makes Maryland the 11th state to approve tuition breaks for illegal immigrants ... . ” As you know, I abhor the idea of a civil war.  One of just a few alternatives left to us is to expel certain states from our union [and then declare war on them.]  Maryland must be included in any such list.

Rove Elephant Kills Five!

Circle of Stupid: How the NRSC and Karl Rove Cost the GOP as Many as Five Senate Seats

“ The National Republican Senatorial Committee spent $3 million in the week before the election on the ill-fated campaign of Carly Fiorina, despite polling that showed her trailing by 9 points to the tiny Marxist Barbara Boxer (Fiorina ended up losing by… 9.8%). In the mean time, Ken Buck lost by a tiny margin in Colorado; Nevada’s Sharron Angle lost by a similar narrow vote total, Dino Rossi was edged by Patty Murray in Washington, 27,000 votes swung the election against Christine O’Donnell in Delaware and and Joe Miller is hanging by a thread in Alaska.     In Alaska, the final results may not be known for some time, but the NRSC’s final ads actually ended up helping Lisa Murkowski in her write-in campaign against GOP nominee Joe Miller. Instead of attacking Murkowski — the candidate who most threatened the party’s nominee — the NRSC instead took aim at Democrat Scott McAdams, who had no chance of winning. Any support they drove from McAdams was far more likely to go to Murkowski than to Miller — meaning the NRSC effort probably did more harm than good for Miller’s campaign. In other words, the NRSC’s idiocy — combined with outrageous remarks by Karl Rove on national television — likely doomed four or five true conservative candidates to extinction.  [... Hot Air]

RESTORATION

“ The trick for Republicans is to keep Bachmann – the Minnesota Republican viewed by many in leadership as an unserious and unhelpful spokesman for the party – away from an elevated platform that many in the party feel would hinder or harm the GOP , without being viewed as not listening to the Tea Party movement, which supplied much of the energy that gave them a 61-seat pickup and control of the House. [Walking a fine line] ”

Factually speaking, Franklin Roosevelt did not do one thing to end the great depression. Employment on 12-7-41 was at the same level it was when he was elected in 1932.  I won't mention the land mine social legislation he imposed on the nation in the interim, aside from mentioning it.  What Roosevelt did accomplish - through force of personality - was give people reassurance.  Reassurance (I will never again use the word hope) that something was being done. Now is the beginning of our very last chance to salvage a great nation. Very last.  I for one am not reassured. The issue raised here, over Bachman's leadership post,  is not whether Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling is a good conservative; it's whether the Republican party that allowed us to get into this mess has actually changed.  Every signal I've seen screams no.  “ Bachmann is loved by many in the conservative grassroots for her outspoken support for a wide range of conservative positions, no matter how politically incorrect. She has developed a national profile after only two terms in Congress by appearing regularly on TV. But she has attracted significant negative attention as well for comments deemed extreme or careless. Really?  And whence came this disapprobation?  I knew this wasn't going to be easy, and it's not.  Boehner to Tea Party: "I'll Never Let You Down"  Read those tea leaves. The establishment GOP views us as brats throwing a convenient for them temper tantrum.   We need to be mollified.  Here's rhetoric that would signal that they are indeed serious about winning this war  "We want your birth certificate Mr. Obama."  That sets the tone. Does the legacy Republican conference see a struggle to the death against an American taliban-like democrat party?  I don't think so. I see careerists  thinking about committee chairmanships and perquisites. I see people who apparently want be viewed as "serious people" by Katie Couric and the New York Times.  I'm at odds with Sarah Palin here, but every one of the 60-70 incoming freshmen ought send a message of assurance by backing Bachman.  The Jeb Hensarlings will only grow in that atmosphere - if they have the right stuff.
