Greed, dishonesty, and fear-mongering

Be sure you see the emotional last 30 seconds of this video.

Update (2/16): Added back the video clip that Blogger ate. Did it taste good?

Real and Mitt Rmoney in the same sentence!

Where were you last night?

Old media won't tell you this

(h/t MoveOn)

Forewarned is fore-armed

Fuckin'-A.  NSFW.

V for victory

Better off

Fortunately for Mitt, he doesn't have a reputation for telling the truth.

It's pretty clear Rmoney is going to rely on an incredible barrage of negative ads from superPAC billionaires.

Update (9/27): Finally had time to relocate the video that I somehow didn't get inserted when I first posted this.

What Republicans want

Disaster for America...

Public cervix announcement

Republicans, Get In My Vagina! from Kate Beckinsale

You can tell from the front page that this is NSFW, right?

Republicans prefer opponents who don't fight back

Too bad about that.

Enthusiasm abyss

In politics, as in any genre of entertainment, you always want to size the room so that your crowd just overflows it. That shows you're popular and yet realistic and leaves your audience demanding more. Mitt Romney in Detroit? Epic fail - a whole domed stadium for a few hundred people at most.



This is what a campaign looks like when it has more money than people. This is doom. Even in that tiny audience in that huge venue, the smell of flop-sweat must have been pungent. This is an off-off-off-off-Broadway show whose financial backer is so in love with the star that he can't grasp that there's no audience beyond the one-percenters interested in seeing this flip-flop revue.

Even if Rmoney gets the Teapublican nomination, the only campaign he'll be able to run is a B-52 campaign - scorched earth from 50,000 ft. at tremendous expense. Knowing Rmoney, he'll keep running the TV and radio and Internet ads until even his handful of ardent supporters are nauseated by their noxious smarmy gee-whiz omnipresent ugliness. The rest of the Teapublicans, less enthused to begin with, will depressively resign themselves to four more years of impotent misplaced anger for President Barack Hussein Obama.

Update: A still-shot comparison that's even more graphic:

Thumbnail used under Fair Use, but if you own this image and object to my use, I'll shrink the thumbnail further.

The revolution will be televised

Video keeps protest peaceful, as it should be, on both sides.

Gonna leave a mark

More smack-downs please!

Unfinished business

Where would we be but for the murder of our liberal leaders?

The log in conservatives' eye

Ain't socialism if there's killin' involved

Elizabeth Warren

I wasn't at this particular party, but I did hear Elizabeth Warren speak. I'm impressed, and I walked away inspired again, in a time when mostly our political and social culture depresses me with its ardent slouching toward idiocracy.

Turn back the clock

I do agree that the status quo is unacceptable. But if we switch to this guy, we only increase the peril we're already in as a nation, a society, a civilization, a people.

Who speaks for the working man?

What the wealthy call socialism, I call a healthy middle class

Update: More from Robert Reich:

The President should advance ideas that work, and go to battle for them.

Supply-side economics doesn’t work. It’s been tried for thirty years, to no avail. And now, when our continuing economic crisis is so palpably being driven by inadequate demand, it’s more bogus than ever.

The last thing we need is for the President to go over to the supply side.

Balkanizing the net for fun and profit

Business continues to pose a greater danger to democracy (and especially to privacy) than government.
