Stuck On The Wrong Side Of History

Bypassing Senate Democrats who fled the state, Republican senators in Wisconsin managed to pass legislation Wednesday to strip public employees of their collective bargaining rights.

Since it was Liberals that fought for the organizing rights and worker protections that created the great American middle class, it's no surprise it's the conservatives trying to get rid of them. This clearly illustrates Republicans are not out for best interest of the country and as with civil rights, puts them yet again on the wrong side of the great moral issues of our time.

No Comparison

TPM: Wisconsin Republicans are now running into a rough sight in the battle over Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill and its anti-public employee union provisions, a sight that might be familiar to Democrats from the 2009-2010 health care debates: Loud, raucous town halls. And when U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and state Sen. Leah Vukmir (R) ran into that ruckus last night in the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa, Sensenbrenner declared the meeting over -- after 27 minutes.

It's wrong to compare this to the intimidation fests that targeted Dems in 2009. These are citizens making valid points on their own. What the Dems were subjected to was Koch Industry funded front groups sending people to shout down valid points. Totally different.

Wrong Target

Peter King: I'll Hold Hearings On Radical Islam

If he's looking for home grown terror threats he should be holding hearings on Glenn Beck fans.

Sock Puppet Radio

Raw Story: The company responsible for syndicating big conservative radio names like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity has been using paid actors to call in to their radio shows.

While there are legions of idiots just dying to call up and talk to these guys they obviously don't trust them to stick to the script. Such is life in the great right-wing bullshit machine.

We Can't Afford REPUBLICANS

Letter to the editor: We can't afford public employee unions

No asshole Republican should be allowed to say we can't afford this or that. They've spent the last 30 years deliberately destroying the tax base though tax cuts and outsourcing and now they're crying crocodile tears. It's like pouring out the pitcher and then saying we'll have to go thirsty because there's just not enough water to go around. The only way to restore this country is the restore the tax base and restore the middle class. The only way to do that is to get Republicans out of government.

Pro-Cancer

Headline: Republicans Push To Eliminate Federal Pollution Regulations

They will shill for their industrial polluter cronies and they don't give a shit if your kids get cancer because of it. And oh yeah, health care is not a right. If a Republican gets cancer it may very well be the case they voted it on themselves. It's too bad they have to take so many of the rest of us with them.

For The Sake Of My Radio Show

Glenn Beck on his radio show yesterday: "If you have the chance to take your children out of school, do it..."

....otherwise they might not believe my bullshit.
