"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)




Mission Accomplished!


The GOP: Keeping millions of Americans out of work to try to put one guy out of a job.

"I was wrong" - Hero, 2012

Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

Good one Mike.

The partisan divisions in the 112th Congress haven’t led to thoughtful, cautious lawmaking. They’ve led to reckless brinksmanship and corrosive paralysis....

Boy, he's got THAT right!! I know some of our righties here (and most of the TParty) think it's a good thing that they've done so little, as the less the government does, the better it is in their opinion, but that's not how government is supposed to work, and it's harmed the country immeasurably.
Quote:

Divided government isn’t working. Of course, given the level of polarization and the constant use of the filibuster, there’s no reason to believe that one-party government would work all that well, either. Which is why I suspect Ed Kilgore is right when he says that the real question when addressing gridlock is whether we can “get people informed and interested in filibuster reform.”

Amen. Get rid of that damned filibuster (and the 2010 newbies in Congress!)! It may have been a good idea initially--in fact it probably was, when people ACTUALLY filibustered--but now it's just one more tool of obstructionism.

As I said elsewhere, oh bollocks!

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.



The GOP: Keeping millions of Americans out of work to try to put one guy out of a job.

if I can figure out how to make this shorter, it'd be a great bumpersticker.


GOP:
keep millions out of work
to put one guy out of his job
