And in other news, John Boehner is still an ass clown

by: leftake

December 19, 2011 10:40 AM

After agreeing to a compromise to extend the payroll tax cut, John Boehner is now doing a back flip, and saying he won't support it after all. 

Unbelievable.

Well, actually, quite believable...

My Dirty Little Secret

by: Jian

November 23, 2011 3:31 AM


After watching the debate rage about the "Occupy" movement over the past several days, I have come to the conclusion there is a lot of misinformation that has gone unchallenged by even some of the more perspicacious in the broadcasting industry. This is not surprising given that Republican pundits brought on to discuss and defend their positions, tend to throw as much monkey dust in the air as possible to obscure the real issues.

It seems that to be a Republican these days, cognitive abilities are not required. All one need do is memorize the talking points and jump in front of the nearest camera. You can hear the same arguments parroted over and over again. See if you recognize any of these arguments.

The Republican primaries: Predictions, anyone?

by: leftake

October 17, 2011 4:17 PM

It feels like every week there's a new front-runner in the GOP race.  Frankly, it's hard to keep up.

And it's even harder to predict what the ultimate outcome will be.  Will Romney win out in the end?  Will "Cain-mentum" prove real, or just a blip?  Will Perry mount a comeback after all?

Make your predictions... speak your piece!

Exactly The Opposite

by: Craig D

You always have an interesting take on "politicking" things. Hope you ride by more often!

Well, I haven't been 'round these 'chere parts fer a while.  Wee doggies! Lookit all them tumble weeds a-blowin' through Leftake Gulch.

Well, lemme tie up my horse and beat the trail dust off'n myself and I'll write up one of them thar diaries you folks used to talk so much about.


Why have I been away from here?

Well, I got a job and for the first time in thirty years I do not have a desk at work!  No desk equals no computer or internet access.

I'm working in a motor pool building at Fort Bragg as part of a crew of contract employees who fix up mobile communication centers.

One of the guys in the crew is a nice older man who blasts conservative talk radio all day long.  All. Day. Long.

Mostly, it is but a dull roar of Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity.  The sounds of the shop help drown out the specifics of what they are spewing, but every so often it becomes quiet enough to make out some of their breathless talking points.

My conclusion?

It is permanently "Opposite Day" in right wing media land.

Vote Republican?

by: lamb12

September 24, 2011 1:59 PM

Why I won't even consider voting for a Republican.

I have voted for Republican candidates before. My first election where I could vote was in 1988. I was 19. I voted for Bush 1. I was not in any way political. I voted for him because I knew the name, nothing more.

In the state where I used to live, Florida, I voted both parties in and out for both state and local races.

In the last few national elections I voted for Clinton twice, Gore, Kerry and yes, Obama.
