Quote of the day
Quote Of The Day, May 25, 2012
“What happened here was the accumulated karmic backlash of forty years’ worth of Establishment Democrats telling the Activist Left that they were the vanguard of, and spokesmen for, a broad American populist movement. For the longest time, such lies were simply an accepted part of the public policy debate; mostly because the country had no yardstick by which to judge the Left’s turnout and activities.“But then came the Tea Parties — which showed people what a real American populist movement looks like, and what it can do — and its success stung the Activist Left at the exact moment that Scott Walker came along and not unreasonably decided that if he was elected on a platform of doing certain things, he had best start doing them. This infuriated the Left, but not as much as the refusal of Walker and the WI GOP to go weak-kneed at the first sign of push-back. So… the recall movement was born!
“And… fizzled. The Left should have cut their losses when Prosser demonstrated that drum circles and illegal indoor camping in the Rotunda didn’t translate into votes… and they definitely should have cut their losses when the first wave of recalls didn’t live up to the hype. But they didn’t, and now the people of Wisconsin are increasingly demonstrating that they’re tired of all of this – and they’re not blaming the Republicans, either. Such a shame, but that’s what you get whe- hey! The bacon’s fully cooked.”

When Elizabeth Warren was in college she must have been
a knockout. She’s 62 now and looks great. I’m glad
she had the nerve to go after Brown on that b/c the
amazing Republican propaganda PR machine thinks
it can push just about anyone and get them elected.
Palin for VP to a 72 YO McCain was just the start.
Bachmann is scheduled to run for senate in 2012
against Al Frankin. What do you think she’s doing
in the Republican presidential lineup…do you think
she’s seriously running for President or even VP?
Scott Brown got elected because he looked good, campaigned in a pickup truck (albeit a 4-door) and people wanted to have a beer with him. All very important factors when running: Appear folksy and you’ll be a shoo-in. And of course, what little there was of Coakley was AWOL on the campaign trail so voters didn’t have much of a choice in the matter. He has bragged about posing nude in the past and has made it a point of pride. Warren responded to a debate question and let it go. His staff then had time to craft a clever response for him to use at his next opportunity. Except there were a million other things they could have said instead of talking about someone’s looks. Would he say “thank God” if he knew he would never have to share refrigerator space with Chris Christie? Doubtful, because women are easier targets when you’re a suave, handsome cool dude who’s proud of your junk. Was his comment harmful? Naaaah, not really. Was it telling? Absolutely.
