| Election08 On The Situation Room - 80 sec CNN, February 14, 2008 Auteur : AndyCobbonUTube Tags: election08 on youtube cnn situation room jeanne moos wolf blitzer  | | Democrats For Romney - 91 sec Democrats of Michigan, on January 15th you have a unique and wonderful opportunity to screw over the Republican Party.
For more on why voting for Romney in your primary--however counterintuitive it may be to vote for that flip-flopping, say-anything-to-get-elected, neocon-of-convenience hack--isn't such a crazy idea, check out:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/1/10/2713/87225
Lest there be any confusion, showing Romney's old stances as a less-than-diehard conservative in Massachusetts is intended to emphasize his ubercynical ability to shape-shift into desirable forms, not to suggest he's a somehow tolerable closet moderate who is simply pretending to be a detestable right wing nut. I don't mean to suggest he should be given the benefit of any doubt in that direction--that's by no means the reason Michigan Dems should cast their vote for him January 15th.
In the rough and real world of politics, Progressives can't afford for voting to be an emotional act of personal expression. It has to be pragmatic, strategic, and effective. So, just this weird once...go Romney. Though it burns my fingers when I type it.

We aren't hating on you, Icelanders. We're jealous of what you enjoy--a lack of military entanglements, a terrific standard of living, and a genetic predisposition for high cheekbones.
Welcome home.

Breaking up is hard to do. So what kind of dicks are we?
These are dark days for Paul Wolfowitz. His girlfriend broke up with him last week, after he left his job in disgrace for getting said girlfriend a gig. That, after helping start the Iraq war...his downfall would be tragic if it weren't so completely fucking awesome.
So if it's wrong to celebrate the swift demise of a contemptible bastard, wrong me up.

I like Edwards a lot, but there certainly are catty, evil, and accurate things she could have called him. "Born poor white trash" maybe, or a "do-gooder."
The fact that she chose to call Edwards a "faggot" just goes to show: even at her most vile and mean-spirited, the woman is fundamentally incapable of getting her facts straight.
The fact that this totally slayed her audience reveals another truth about the movement she represents: what do conservatives find funny?
Fox News, please take note regarding your new, apocalyptically bad show.

For more on Karl Rove and New Orleans, check out: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Rebuilding_the_Gulf_Coast_in_the_wake_of_Hurricane_Katrina:_domestic_policy_initiatives
I'd like to clarify something about our little vid: hopefully it is clear this is intended to kick Karl Rove while he's down, not mock anyone unfortunate enough to receive "stop loss" orders.
That's something I've never understood when I read about the anti-war movement in the seventies—why all the anti-troop sentiment? By contrast, as a guy who currently attends a fair amount of anti-war meetings, marches, and the like, I can honestly say I've never heard anything remotely untoward said about military personnel. Instead, there is inevitably heartfelt expression of empathy, concern, and—to echo an overused term—support. Just so's ya know.
If folks would like to debate which side of the political fence "supports" the armed forces, have at it. First, please check out how the administration provides for our vets: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/17/AR2007021701172.html
