US POLITICS election/post-election edition: your country will improve immediately.

yep yep

I'll go out on a limb: it's Rubio vs Obama in 2012. You read it here first.

Christie/Rubio 2012

Krispy Kreme Christie?

if so, Krispy Kreme is 10 lbs of Rudy Giuliani in a 5 lb douchebag. unelectable outside of the Northeast.

2012: Christie Goes Large

I'll go out on a limb: it's Rubio vs Obama in 2012. You read it here first.

i said it earlier today! sort of. anyway, cosign.

he's going to start running for president ASAP

Beat out Palin in a tea party poll on 2012. He had just killed the ARC project, though.

xpost

could be big trouble for obama, tho my impression is that rubio is sort of an empty suit. but he's a well-spoken, young, good-looking empty suit with lots of empty rhetoric.

sounds familiar doesn't it

*biggest shrug ever*

haha, yes it does sound familiar. pres. rubio. ugh.

Still two years out. In 2006, the projected showdown was between Giuliani and Hillary Clinton.

two empty suits is 2000 all over again. Maybe we'll get an actual coup with tanks! [/excited]

People need to stop thinking there's a difference between the "national GOP" and the Tea Party.

Been saying this for a year now. Reading "The Tea Party and the GOP: Change You Already Believed In". It's pretty good

What effect has the tea party had on this agenda, considering that Republicans have been supporting it anyway? The Tea Party provided pressure and cover for Republicans to support this – and to oppose Obama initiatives, even when the president was very popular. It also laundered (I’m using that word neutrally) the arguments that libertarian and conservative think tanks and media were making for the Republican agenda and against the Democratic agenda. You can see one example of how this works in Kate Zernike’s new book on the tea party movement, “Boiling Mad.” At one point Zernike notes that Tea Partyers refer to cap-and-trade as “cap-and-tax.” That’s true, but they use that term because organizations like Americans for Prosperity and guests on Fox News use it. With the rise of the Tea Party movement, messaging like this took on credibility, because regular Americans were using it and repeating it back to reporters.

― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius),

If I cut and paste your Giuliani-HRC predictions from '06, are you gonna shut the fuck up?

i believe this is the second time (and on the second network) that's mentioned griping among dems re: evan bayh, not only walking away, but walking away with $10 million in the bank that could've helped a LOT in key races this time around

If I cut and paste your Bam-HRC ticket, Morbs, are you gonna shut the fuck up?

rachel maddow has no clue about west virginia politics, zero

evan bayh, hate that guy.

good lyric

everyone hates evan bayh, is what it seems like. well, joe scarbs probably likes him, that's it though.

boring, Alfred

g'night

gabbriddanceneb!

It's a full life, isn't it?

lawrence o'donnell is def the most entertaining guy on tv right now. making big ed look foolish (not that it's difficult)

It's a full life, isn't it?

And a long memory.

morbs and alfred, I think of you guys as on "my" side, so plz don't bicker, save yr ire for, you know, people who deserve it

IOW

That's really a beautiful computer image file. I like the glow on the top of Sinead's right hang!

sinead definitely deserves it.

He should know better than to accuse me of gabbnebism, especially when he made the same facile, just-thinkin'-aloud predictions as a NYC native about Giuliani and HRC a few years ago.

evan bayh is indianian for Lieberdouche. speaking of whom, maybe that fuckhead will finally jump across the aisle.

hey so what're the predictions on how soon leading congressional & senatorial dems take the results of this election as a clear message that they have to kiss more gop ass, drift further to the right, and make more concessions than they already have?

As soon as Morbs returns to pick on you.

Dropping by local Republican celebration for journalistic purposes. They got Fox News on the big screens, everybody is stoked. Terrible wedding-type band is doing all Reagan-era: I love rock'n'roll, you shook me all night long, crazy train(!), summer of '69.

It's morning in America

It's mourning in America.

all i'm gonna say is that (a) incumbent parties generally lose midterm elections; (b) the political party in power during economically shitty times is gonna feel the brunt of the electorate's ass; and (c) the GOP got more of theres than the Dems got theres to the polls.

all else is flatulence.

We know. Too bad Obama and his acolytes never explained why they were an alternative.

We don't "do" revolutions in America, so the electorate would rather cede control to McDonnell-Boehner than try something new.

*McConnell

eisbaer is right. idk, a lot of folks seem to have bought into this idea that the gov't is just spending too much money & divided government that stops anything from happening is.. uh, somehow going to fix the economy

ugh rand paul

rand gonna be a treat.

keeps repeating 'respect', take THAT mr aqua buddha

rand paul seems like a total smug know-it-all dickhead, ugh

haha this guy. i can't wait tbh.
