Thanks for this very good series of analysis concerning the Democratic Clintons and the pond scum that masquerades as “Democrat” movers and shakers today. Although I haven’t read this fiction, and I don’t plan on reading it, my good judgment leads me to believe that much of it is probably garbage that is an attempt to derail the goodwill that the Clintons have with many in the America public. I also concur with what I read by an astute commenter, and that is that while the Clintons talked about a vast rightwing conspiracy, I now believe that there was also a leftwing conspiracy taking place against them, so that they were being hit from both sides at the same time. And get this… they are still standing and making a difference while most of their enemies have either been exiled to “never hear from them again land”, or have lost any appeal that they might have once held.

I have no doubt that by her past actions Patti Solis Doyle was a mole. I also have no doubt that there were other infiltrators within the Clinton camp. After all, this was nasty Chicago politics rearing its head in the Democratic campaign. But trying to make it look like the Clintons are out there on their own is just STUPID which is how I would describe our current president and his aides. Now that I think more about it, this book must have come from Obama’s direction.

How do you see a 59/41 ratio in the Senate ‘ousting’ Pelosi, who is Speaker of the House, not even in the Senate? To oust Pelosi, iirc the GOP would need about 40 more seats in the House.

As someone posted earlier today, MA and Reid can Burris around with installing Brown so he would miss the HC vote. Coakley has said she would vote against a House-type bill (very restrictive on abortion) but “reluctantly” for a Senate-type bill (less restrictive). So she’s fighting for mitigation of a bill that is probably going to pass anyway.

Voting for HIllary on the FLOOR IN DENVER makes her a friend without the scare quotes, imo. (And if she’s in bed with all her supporters, I hope she’s having fun with Bill. He’s there campaigning for her….)

Well if Brown does win, I hope those egotistical bubbles that the dims seem to have attached to their asses burst big time.

Here’s an interesting twist in the ongoing saga of the 2010 Michigan gubernatorial race: The Detroit Free Press reports that the White House is courting Denise Illitch, daughter of Little Ceasar’s founder Mike Illitch and current University of Michigan regent, to jump in to the race for the Democratic nomination for governor. And they deem this important enough that President Obama met with her personally at the White House:

White House officials and President Barack Obama met Tuesday with University of Michigan regent Denise Ilitch to discuss her possible candidacy for governor, according to a White House official who asked not to be named.

Ilitch, a Detroit area businesswoman and daughter of sports and entertainment moguls Mike and Marian Ilitch, has been probing for support, following Lt. Gov. John Cherry’s decision last week to drop out of the race.

The article also mentions two other possible candidates: Former state treasurer Bob Bowman and DTE Energy chairman Tony Earley, who says he’s more likely to support Andy Dillon. This race just keeps getting more crowded and more interesting by the day.

Once again, knuckle-dragging troglodytes from flyover backwaters have some ideas about how the country should be run. A few hundred thousand of them even relinquished their white-knuckle grip on their guns and religion long enough to travel to Washington and demand their concerns be heard. How quaint.

Despite Tea Partiers’ popularity — an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll last month showed the Tea Party label outpolling Democrats and Republicans in terms of favorability — epithets are still flung with regularity.

National Public Radio recently used your tax dollars to post a cartoon on its Web site called “Learn to Speak Tea Bag,” which portrayed members of the movement as stupid with all the subtlety of a rhinoceros in a Swarovski shop. NPR defended the cartoon on the grounds of satire, but that’s a pretty hollow defense considering that NPR has publicly complained on multiple occasions about NPR correspondents who appear on Fox News, as if the cross-pollination here might taint National Palestinian Radio’s vaunted reputation for objectivity.

That supposedly impartial news outlets think nothing of hurling the lewd and crude “tea bag” insult is pretty revealing, to say nothing of their lack of reverence for American history.

But let them continue to dismiss the Tea Party. They do so at their peril. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the Tea Party is both far more sophisticated than its opponents realize and an electoral force to be reckoned with.

The liberal rap on Tea Partiers is that the movement is dragging the Republicans so far to the right that pretty soon the P in GOP is going to stand for Pinochet. Or at least that was the narrative coming out of the recent congressional election in upstate New York, where grass-roots outrage forced the Republican In Name Only candidate Dede Scozzafava out of the race. The more conservative Tea Party-approved candidate Doug Hoffman entered into the race as a Republican and lost.

Supposedly, the lesson here is that Hoffman was too conservative to win in the Northeast.

But Hoffman came awfully close to winning under unusual circumstances. Now Tea Party opponents have to explain Scott Brown, who’s running in the Massachusetts special Senate election. Brown is an independent-thinking, pro-choice Republican — a likable guy from Wrentham who drives a truck.

He may be more liberal than most Republicans, but he’s well-suited to represent Massachusetts. He’s narrowly ahead in a number of polls, and just raised an astounding $1.3 million in a single day.

Smart Democrats are starting to wake up. Brown may still be an underdog Republican running for the seat recently held by Ted Kennedy, but that’s almost beside the point.

Markos Moulitsas, founder of the Daily Kos and a driving force behind the Democratic “netroots” that helped Democrats win back Congress, is favorably comparing the Scott Brown race with early netroots efforts.

“Scott Brown reminds me of Paul Hackett,” Moulitsas said on Twitter, referring to an Ohio special congressional election in 2005. The Democrat Hackett lost, but the way liberal grass roots rallied to Hackett’s campaign prepared them for future elections. “Like Hackett, Brown will lose, but grass-roots [conservatives are] learning how to better organize.”

It appears that Tea Partiers aren’t just a bunch of reactionary simpletons devoted to supporting the most conservative candidate available — it’s lively and organic political movement that is thinking strategically about getting people elected.

Welcome to your worst nightmare, Democrats. Keep yukking it up — those insults will be cold comfort when Tea Parties break out across America in November.

I am GUILTY as all get out, of being radical, and I am so proud of it I might wear a t-shirt with that logo on it. Who dares to label citizens exercising the current rights and privileges in the government politics arena as one or all of the 3 R’s(radical, racist, and yet worst of all Republican)? It is the collective Dimocrats who have jetted around and spent obscene amounts of taxpayer money living their ‘Roman Holiday’.
