The Equivocators
fringeelements: Lets say there was a man who routinely robbed his neighbor’s house. He robbed his neighbor so often it became a matter of routine, a “tax” if you will. One day, the robber’s mother had a tumor and was sent to the hospital and put on life support. The operation would cost $1,000. The robber then goes to his neighbor’s house but, to his dismay, his neighbor now has a shotgun and...

To Pass Health Care, Dems Should Be Against It →
President Obama made a point the other day in speaking at the Republican retreat to say he wasn’t an ideologue, and while there was skepticism in his audience about whether that was true, there was agreement in both parties that not being an ideologue is a good thing. Bill Maher for Huffington Post

Why do people often vote against their own... →
The Republicans’ shock victory in the election for the US Senate seat in Massachusetts meant the Democrats lost their supermajority in the Senate. This makes it even harder for the Obama administration to get healthcare reform passed in the US. Political scientist Dr David Runciman looks at why is there often such deep opposition to reforms that appear to be of obvious benefit to...

Frank Rich: The State of the Union Is Comatose
[…] Obama should turn up the heat on both the G.O.P’s record of fiscal recklessness and its mad-dog obstructionism. He should stop paying lip service to the fantasy that his Congressional opposition has serious ideas to contribute to the cleanup. Better still, he should publicize exactly what those “ideas” are. Yes, the Republicans were correct to laugh at one of the president’s own gimmicks on...

Terrorism is a law enforcement issue. You don't...
cheneymabel: soupsoup: squashed: The Republicans have restarted one of their favorite games. Obama, like any Democrat, is “soft on terror.” It’s not because of anything specific he’s done. It’s just that 1) he’s a Democrat, 2) he believes that soft power is important enough that it shouldn’t be squandered for partisan political gain, and 3) he’s criticized the way the Bush administration has...
