Romney Ryan...nuff said

It’s here — in Ryan’s views and policy judgments — we find the true ideologue. More than any other politician today, Paul Ryan exemplifies the social Darwinism at the core of today’s Republican Party: Reward the rich, penalize the poor, let everyone else fend for themselves. Dog eat dog.

Thanks for Nothing Anthony

I just commented on today's post by  "A Few Clowns Short".  It kinda put me in the mood to throw in my own two cents about Anthony Weiner, Democratic reprobate & loser. 

We have a Republican field for 2012 expanding exponentially.  We have Paul Ryan's tax bill proposing significant cuts to Medicare.  We have Sarah Palin riding around on a bus acting like a PT to every reporter who asks if she's "a candidate for President."  We have Michelle Bachmann hiring the vicious Right Wing former political advisor to Ronald Reagan, Ed Rollins, as her political advisor in a bid for the Republican nomination.  We have the banks and retailers going at it over debit card charges:  should they have a ceiling or can the banks continue to rake in $95 billion or more dollars in revenue from swipe cards at the retail level?   We have General Petraeus and Secy of Defense Robert Gates retiring but insisting we maintain a strong presence in the Middle East.  Qaddafi refuses to step down.  Our soldiers are still "over there".  Oh yes, and our economy sucks.

What are we talking about?  Anthony Weiner's weiner.  It's front & center and diverting attention from everything that really matters.

He's a jerk.  He should resign.  His wife is to be pitied.  Let's move on. 

 

MediScare Goes Viral

Joe Scarborough calls it "Mediscare". The Repubs say it's being "demagogued". The Agenda Project has a response.




While I'm not crazy about the extreme approach, it certainly is attention getting; kinda like those "death panel" rants Sarah Palin was giving a while back. 

Jimmy Fallon, on "Morning Joe" this morning has a different take.
