lizzy warren's speech from the dnc


and mr. hillary clinton's, too.

both very good.

did you see?

michelle obama's DNC speech from last night. what do you think?!

jic you missed it.

democrats successfully take away your right to choose

"In Indiana, Democrats successfully killed a Republican bill that would have prohibited union membership from being a condition of employment by leaving the state on Tuesday."

from this story on huffpost (you can trust me, i read the liberal ones, too)

shit is goin down in the midwest

democrats from wisconsin and indiana have both fled their state to the ussr illinois avoid voting on bills that would take powers away from unions. what a shit show. i am not a fan of unions being able to force workers to join and pay dues, so i say get back to your state and accept defeat. if the people want to keep being forced to join unions, then they can vote that way in november. that's why we have elections.

drrrrAAaaAaAmmmaaaaAAaAAA!!!

so if you pay attention to anything, you know that the wildly hypocritical republicans used the expiration of long-term unemployment assistance to force obama to agree to a tax plan that included extensions of bush-era tax cuts for rich people. to the dismay of many democrats in congress, he agreed to compromise and is opting to to let the rich people keep their money as long as the poor, unemployed americans can still afford to live.

well, the democrats think this was a bit of a pu$$y move, and in a meeting today, agreed they would vote down obama's repub-friendly tax plan when it comes through congress.

“In the caucus today, House Democrats supported a resolution to reject the Senate Republican tax provisions as currently written,” Ms. Pelosi said. “We will continue discussions with the President and our Democratic and Republican colleagues in the days ahead to improve the proposal before it comes to the House floor for a vote.”

The caucus vote, which is not necessarily binding, nonetheless put Ms. Pelosi in a rare direct conflict with the White House, which is pressing Congress to approve the tax cut proposal. (via)

omg dRaMa!! giving those republican jerks a little taste of the snake they bite us with, amiright!

bad news is, instead of wrapping this mess up before christmas and moving on to a DADT repeal, we're going to just fight for a while, and congress may even get shut down!

oh and ps, republicans blocked a bill to provide healthcare aid to 9/11 workers today. again.

keith olbermann's worst person in the world is...

keith olbermann!

he's been indefinitely suspended for failing to have political donations to 3 democratic candidates approved, as per NBC policy.

zing!

Delaware’s Democratic Senate candidate Chris Coons is trying to turn GOP rival Christine O’Donnell’s new “witch ad” against her. In the ad, O’Donnell assures voters that she’s not a witch and is just like everyone else. “I’m you,” O’Donnell says in the ad.


Not so fast, Coons says in a blast email to Delaware voters. The email features a photo of O’Donnell in her own ad, and suggests that voters “Tell Christine O’Donnell: You Are Not Me.”


“Unless you think the retirement age for Social Security should be raised, want to further de-regulate Wall Street, are against a woman’s right to choose, think public schools should teach Creationism, and think homosexuality is an ‘identity disorder,’ she is definitely not you,” Coons says. (via)
