None dare call it treason

I am one to savor victories, but let us not overlook what the GOP has really done. Back in 2001, a llot of the world was already weary of America; W's wars pouyred acid into the wounds, and this charade has done far worse. The next century willnot be the American century, as the rest of the world has good reason to distrust us.

I am not saying it will be a Chinese one either, as they have their own house of cards. While I try not to be too Western centric, I will also admit that the idea of the Chinese, Russians, or some bizarre new league does not bode well.

Would the right wing be stupid enough to do this again?

Yes.

Hell, half of these idiots think the Civil War is still winnable. Even after both Bushes were defeated, even after the weapons were not in Iraq, they kept going, because they have mastered the art of cognitive dissonance, or in other words, shutting off their brain.

We do need to celebrate, but we need to keep fighting. Even if the GOP imploded, some creeps, exploiting the worst of our national demons, would try and make a right wing (libertarians, I am looking at your Ayn Rand loving ass, and your buddies in "no labels.&quot

Victory? Between Champagne and Depression

OK, I will say that we should celebrate the fact the GOP backed down. If we do not celebrate and remember the times we won, we have no spirit for the fight.

However two points

1)this was a battle, not a war. The GOp will try this again, and they will try to make an election issue, and all the rich bastards that say they are worried will still pour money out. This is the setup for 2014 and 2016, battles the GOP MUST LOSE!

2) The Democrats are still way way way to the right. We need to use this to drag them back, and not let the people who want "the center" to regain their hold on the microphone.

Keep the boot on the Elephant's throat!

The GOp knows that we, as Americans, and yes Demcorats, love to forget the hell they put us through. Now is not the time to Relax, but it is time to put pressure, on everyone, to not only stay the course, but put the pedal to the metal. The GOP is bleeding, and the last thing we want is for them to heal. Likewise, now is also the time for leftists to put pressure on the center, which will also try to heal. We must demand the tilt of the axis goes elftward, especially as frankly, the left has been proven right.

Ruth: Tea party is over for big business Republicans

http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/columns/ruth-tea-party-is-over-for-big-business-republicans/2146540

From the article:
In recent days, groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, (hardly a den of Rachel Maddows), the National Federation of Independent Businesses and a number of corporate potentates have grumbled that unless the tea party wakes up and cooperates in reopening the government and approving a hike in the debt ceiling, there could be a price to pay at the polls.

Using a favored Koch brothers weapon, these groups are threatening to fund challengers in primary elections by recruiting more mainstream Republican candidates.

And why not? After all, for decades the Republican Party has been aligned with the likes of Wall Street, the Fortune 500, the Business Roundtable and the Chamber of Commerce.

But in recent years where has it gotten them? After tens of millions of dollars, the checkbooks find themselves having to take a number behind political holograms like Marco Rubio. Why should business groups seeking favor within the GOP to shill for their vested interests continue to pay for — nothing?

cue the people that say "harry reid is not that bad"

3...2...1

If the folks at McDonalds did their job as badly as reid did his, you would order a Big Mac and instead get a $100 dollar gift certificate to Burger King.

An Exec order to save the nation, can Tony Scalia stop it

A lot of people are askign why Obama does not mint the trillion dollar coin, or drop the 14th amendment. My own idea, which I offer up for discussion, is that everybody knows the fix is in from the Spuremes, the same assholes that got us Bush V Gore. If Obama tried to do an EO, what could Fat Tony and his gang do, and what can they NOT do?

What the "no labels" folks really are

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Labels

A simple wikipedia page shows who these folks are, the Jon Hunstmans, The Joe Liebermans, the Howard Kurtz of Starbucks, Joe manchins, Cory Bookers. All of them are famous for playing a game where they say just enough to lure Democrats, but then, when push comes to shove, they glady sing the praises of "entitlement reform" "education reform", and any number of measures that wind up being "take away money from government and give it to those clowns on Wall Street who will either gamble it off or outright steal it.

Simple put, the so called "centrists" have been very good at infecting both the Elephant and the Donkey, especially the Donkey. Clinton sold the Donkey a whole load of infected feed, telling him it was medicine to keep from getting beat up by that Elephant that the Koch brothers and Churches pumped full of steroids. The Donkey did get stronger, but it got unhealthy, and addicted to the feed. The poor Donkey could not even do half of what it wanted to do, even when they won an election, because it sold it's health for the cheap mojo Clinton peddles. On the other hand, those Steroids the Elephant took made them so unmanagable that even the Wall Street ringmasters panicked, after all, the dumb beast was just supposed to be the muscle, not the brain!

So, for all those people who wanted all the money, all the power, but not be held to any sort of principle (especially ones involving the middle and lower classes), but did not want to admit they were evil (after all, you cannot infect a host if you are honest about being a parasite) they had to think fo something new, a new host to feed off of. Enter no Labels, which is another way of saying "we know that a label implies a brand, that implies principles, and we cannot have that because we want to disown people when the right moment comes." In short, No Labels is just the latest morph of the fine folks that will betray anyone and everyone, as long as they get paid well. We saw this back when Huffpo supported Jon Huntsman, and we can expect Huffpo, MSNBC, and the usual "reasonable folks" to gild these cheap knockoffs and sell them as antiques.

Here is some adivce from Ron Dewolf

Aka L. Ron Hubbard Jr., who was asked about helping his dad make Scientology.

"Most people think these people are so insane and wild and berserk and unpredictable. Not to me. Insane people are very predictable, because they're trapped on the same mental and spiritual merry-go-round and all they can do is go round and round."
