Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments LIVE BLOG – GOP Debate in SC – 6:00 PM PST A past life must have bad Karma. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:35 pm DNCC is doing a petition to have Romney release his tax returns. Kerry not doing it in 2004 fit in with the elitist meme the GOP pushed. I think it will backfire on Romney, like it should now. http://www.dccc.org/pages/mitttaxes It think they are slammed so you might have to do it later. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:34 pm Yes I didn’t expect much either. Maybe the endorsement of the right wing evangelicals helped him. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:29 pm Romney’s whole campaign is. ‘Noun Verb Obama’ (LIE!) » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:28 pm Exactly his head will cause him to float so high he’ll be lost in the Stratosphere. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:26 pm They need to ask the candidates how they stand on SOPA. Perry will say you sit on a SOPA. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:21 pm That was a great article. I might forgive Sullivan for his temporary insanity supporting Paul yet. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:16 pm Santorum as VP would be a godsend for Dems. He’s not even popular in his home state of PA. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:11 pm Yeah I expect a Romney lovefest. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:08 pm Ezra Klein brought up a good point before the debate on the importance in reelecting Obama. If Romney wins the presidency and the economy begins to rebound, Republicans will argue, and America’s experience will seem to show, that they were right all along: The stimulus was useless and the regulatory uncertainty the Obama administration created with its health-care plan and its talk of cap-and-trade and all the rest kept businesses from investing. Of course, if Obama keeps the office, that argument will be largely discredited, and he’ll be able to make the case that he and his party steered the country through incredible choppy waters despite relentless obstructionism from the Republicans — oh, and in 2014, he’ll also give 32 million Americans health-care insurance, just another little side project he got done while saving the economy. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:08 pm When there is not content it’s all hype. Stagecraft is one thing, pep rallies for debates is another. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 6:05 pm Great post CL. One big reason that German is so economically successful even when they had to absorb East Germany’s terrible economy is because ever year in key businesses the officers, government and labor sits down and makes the key agenda for the companies. In this way all needs are met including management, labor’s and society’s through government. The biggest thing this does is ending short term thinking. When they set 5 year plans they are 5 year plans not looking at P and L sheets every quarter. This also spurs more reinvestment into innovation and obviously higher wages. I hate to say that this is one reason some German auto companies outsource to the US in (un)Right to Work states. But overall it works for the benefit of all. Every part of our system is built on an adversarial construct even though common sense says people who work for common goals are more successful. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 2:00 pm The biggest meme that Obama needs to defeat this election is that running a country is NOTHING like running a country. We are a democracy like Tomasky noted Romney thinks he can dictate policy like in a board room. All presidents find dealing with a democracy the major impediment to their agenda. Contrary to emoprog’s beliefs Obama wanted a public option and wanted to close Gitmo but the Senate killed both notions. Romney will no doubt we worse like the wolf howling at the moon congress will lead him around by the nose because he does not know where to start when dealing with a legislative body. Why am I sure of this because Romney was led by the nose with a liberal MA legislator the vast majority of the time. Worse Romney only knows how to game a rigged system. At Bain Capital they would put in the highest bid and then after he got the bid Bain drove the price down by undervaluing their assets. Because in essence after they got his bid accepted it was like dealing with a monopoly or it would be called an dictatorship in relation to what it would mean in the context of governments. Romney is not going to have those kind of majorities in congress. Unlike people think you can rig government but so much over a short period of time in one party’s favor. Even Bush could not get SS privatized and immigration reform passed. In fact thankfully he had ZERO legislative accomplishments in his second term, unless you count the bank bailout. he he he » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 1:52 pm The most under-reported story by far in 2010 was the flexibility the president gave states with the ACA. The ACA under Obama is a de facto opt-in public option or even single payer over time. If you care about progress the biggest reason to vote for Obama and the Dems is to keep the ACA in place and fully implemented but then again some progressives think health issues begin and end with medical marijuana. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 16, 2012 @ 1:24 pm Weekend Music Thread – A Tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. Neil Young – Southern Man

» Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 14, 2012 @ 12:19 pm I was just thinking thinking today how I missed your occasional rashomon series. But I guess we have not had that many events to use it. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 13, 2012 @ 5:41 pm Unlike most pols the president is a man of his word when he can be not just for the sake of it. He said during the election he would give the Generals what they advised. But Obama’s also not rigid, once they did not achieve the measurables they said they would, heads rolled and the plans were changed. Same thing with bipartisanship, etc. The things he didn’t get done like ending Gito were totally blocked by both parties in Congress. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 13, 2012 @ 5:18 pm I fear that law may be changed in Canada just to fit Murdoch. Canada is no longer the liberal bastion it once was because of Harper. I saw in Kalima’s MB that they are already saying they won’t accept foreign same sex marriages. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 13, 2012 @ 12:17 pm X2 on the CFPB. Frankly I was worried it would be just another do nothing agency like the SEC but Cordray is off to a wonderful start and I thank Obama for going off on a limb to put him as the head of the agency. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 13, 2012 @ 12:07 pm Romney will find a way to take that site down. He found a way to take down mittromneyflipflops.com. Now if you even search mitt romney flip flops it takes you to his campaign website. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 13, 2012 @ 12:04 pm Ha great movie reference. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 13, 2012 @ 12:01 pm Alas the 40-20 split amongst conservatives and liberal holds but I really think it is becoming more and more a case of using the wrong poll question. WTF are pollsters going to poll people on if they identify themselves as conservatives, moderates of progressives? Liberal is an outdated notion in today’s left leaning politics. It would be like polling people saying are you a reactionary and instead of using conservative. I saw another poll that said Progressive has the highest favorable rating. Last rant of the day I promise, well unless something else ticks me off. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 13, 2012 @ 12:01 pm I can actually relate to one tweet. I got Call of Duty for Christmas and love playing it on easy mode for that reason. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 13, 2012 @ 11:53 am Ah those GS elevator tweets are so telling. I get tired of how people are misreading Afghanistan. We are getting out and getting out faster than expected by many. Remember a little while ago when Aryanna went on her rant that Biden should betray Obama and quit because he did not take his advice on Afghanistan? Well Obama took that advise but first he wanted the generals to have a chance to prove they were right. Right or wrong is not a factor now because stage two in Afghanistan under Obama is exactly what Biden was recommending. Stand down most combat operations, leave vast portions of the country to itself and rely on training Afghan forces, using special forces and high tech warfare. So as a result 2011 was the biggest decrease in casualties for NATO and the rest of the coalition since the war began. We are on pace to be out in 2014 which I know is too long for many but even that timetable is sort of misleading because we are going in training mode faster than that. Oh and people claiming this is genocide or crap like that. You know who killed the most civilians by far in Afghanistan, you guessed it the Taliban. But again that’s all our fault too with these people even though the Taliban was killing their citizenry and terribly oppressed the female population before we even got there. Like you noted Cher the Taliban do seem more willing to negotiate and one of the big reasons could be that even if NATO and the coalition do leave with our advanced technology and tactics we will never let them have a terrorist haven again. If we are really honest with ourselves if Clinton had the technological capabilities we have today, Bin Laden would have been killed during his presidency. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 13, 2012 @ 11:52 am Bernie Madoff: Defending Mitt Romney and Free Enterprise BTW where did you get that awesome graphic or how did you photoshop it? 😆 » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On January 12, 2012 @ 4:33 pmComments Posted By KQµårk 死神
