this irrational desire for bipartisanship really must go

Brandon failed his job on this one

Zappatero — Mon, 07 May 2012 22:18:08 GMT

most reporters in this arena don't have the facts or the journalistic will to rebut lies like this

Republicans have single-handedly removed common sense from the public sphere. And most elected Dems are too afraid to state the obvious.

Stockholm Sydrome and its variants

'member when Dean Singleton ordered Dan Haley to slander unions and James Hoffa Jr.? Haley did it and that attitude is inculcated throughout a newspaper by owner(s).

This diary just got a mention on Ed Schultz's radio show

It was complimentary since it's an issue he keeps hitting on in both his programs.

Keep up the pressure!

Blue America?
The WSJ reported yesterday about a very different PAC, the Campaign for Primary Accountability, steering the anti-incumbent sentiment.
Please read, as it does not seem like a good thing.

Springs Repubs make Teapartiers look like Pikers

Zappatero — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 01:33:55 GMT

"Conservative" isn't the word for people like (I hope Google has some history here) Betty Beedy, Charlie Duke, Douglas-not-Doug Bruce, the other Doug of Middling Intellect, Joel Hefley and his nasty Chief of Staff and current Americans for Prosperity Shill Jeff "Crank" and many other Republicans from Springs and environs.

Keep your eyes, I urge everyone, on those R's from south of the Monument divide.........except maybe one or two. ;-)

When then?

Great post and reality hurts at times.

Problem is that the left isn't capable of putting up a fight it seems to me.

But they sure as hell bitch and moan bout them Romney's being animal abusers when the reality is something other. They can fight and take issue with stupid shit like that just to show everyone including those who disagree just how righteous and correct they are on important issues of the day.

The left eats their own when it comes to disagreeing. If you do not agree with them completely you then become an enemy and are treated like one even though you are on the same side supposedly.

I happen to believe Mrs. Romney that their hound loved riding like that. Many dogs would and if the pooch is loving life that is not animal abuse no matter how odd/strange it may seem. No way do I like these people but the stupid from our side gets really old too.

The fact that haters are allowed to present their message across the country nonstop with little or no rebuttal from the "left" reinforces to me that we have no control and those we put in office to make a difference in these matters have and will do little or nothing to help us.

If you think the dims are going to kick ass in Nov you are wrong.

Yes! Just to reiterate and explicate a bit.....

1. Conservatives lie with impunity.

2. Democrats rarely push back else: 1) they might seem rude (to Republicans, ha!), and/or 2) the won't get invited on Larry Kudlow's show to lie about Social Security (a la Sen. Udall), and/or 3) they won't be praised by The Denver Post for their sophisticated wankerdom.

3. The Press, in order to maintain a completely false, highly irresponsible and completely anti-journalistic sense of impartiality, cannot call a lie a lie, pretends like both sides lie equally, and therefore must only print or broadcast "he (Democrats) said, but she (Republicans) said" type reports that convey the sense that it is impossible to find "the truth."

4. Conservatives lie with impunity, then if called out by Democrats or the press, double down on their lies.

This is the behavior that allows Karl Rove to come to Denver to prep Republicans to lie about Obama and allows Dick Cheney to say Obama isn't tough enough on terrorists, even though as head of Bush Administration's anti-terror task force Cheney adn team never met, all while Obama kills the very guy Cheney nor Bush could kill.

They lie

One Fly — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:42:25 GMT

They always lie because they know they can get by with it.

Can ya say the Chimp and Iraq??

Nothing has changed.

The whole truth is at places like this and not with Big Whore Media.

We are in deep shit!

Please keep reporting on Scott Gessler's Lies

Zappatero — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:51:54 GMT

and those that enable our state's top elections official in his lies.

Caplis is an ambulance-chasing hack, which seems to be the minimal requirements for hosting right-wing talk radio.

The fact that Gessler has to go back 50 years, and at that the example is the corporate managers were the ones who broke the law, not the individual voters.

Gessler is a liar and every time he repeats these lies he needs to be called out. If it takes you having to listen to those weasals Silverman and Caplis, then I feel for you, but please don't quit.

You betcha!

One Fly — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:04:22 GMT

That is a huge NO SHIT CISCO!

Like you say - they won't.

And I posted this on Easter

KathrynCWallace — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:46:46 GMT

just didn't get to the arguing till Tuesday, you know, in honor of the holiday.

Amen

Fong — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:06:36 GMT

Easter was day before yesterday.

Fong — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:58:27 GMT

Happy Tuesday after Easter!

So post something more relevant

KathrynCWallace — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:02:59 GMT

I like to think this blog is a pretty big tent. I appreciate the content that Jack provides. That's why I promote it. You are always welcome to write something else. And given the religious theme of the this year's Republican race, I think it's very relevant to competent governance. Happy Easter.

We've seen it.

One Fly — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:35:19 GMT

Starting with 1980 when I arrived here there was no golfing for several months during the winter. Why - well because it was just that - winter and it snowed and did other things too. Take a look around now.

The window of opportunity has passed. We are never getting what was back. Weather has been forever changed and not for the good.

We are in deep shit with this category of change too.

Ummm...no.

MRB — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:15:20 GMT

Just Jack's religulousness getting on my nerves lately. I was just having a testy morning and was hoping for a more relevant post. If others like it that's fine.

Perhaps you're unsureity is the answer.

Yoda69 — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 18:03:55 GMT

Maybe there's a religious blog?

MRB — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:48:37 GMT

I'm not sure what this nonsense has to do with competent governance....

Kraft is out too.

trainstar — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 00:06:29 GMT

Kraft just announced that they will stop funding ALEC.
