From Rolling Stone’s Candidates for Sale: “The truth is that the campaigns of both Barack Obama and John McCain are being inundated with cash from more or less exactly the same gorgons of the corporate scene. From Wall Street to the Big Oil powerhouses to the military-industrial complex, America’s fat-cat business leaders know that the [...]

From Paul Krugman’s Know-Nothing Politics: “Know-nothingism — the insistence that there are simple, brute-force, instant-gratification answers to every problem, and that there’s something effeminate and weak about anyone who suggests otherwise — has become the core of Republican policy and political strategy. The party’s de facto slogan has become: ‘Real men don’t think things through.’”
This guy can piss me off like no other.
Take a look at an excerpt from Bill Kristol’s recent Op-Ed What Obama Left Out, which is about Sen. Obama’s commencement speech at Wesleyan this weekend:
“Obama chooses to introduce the notion of public service…but there’s one obvious path of service Obama doesn’t recommend — or even mention: [...]
From The New Republic’s Rotten On The Inside: “In a remarkably open rebellion, Republican members of Congress and party strategists decried Bush’s role in bringing down the Republican ‘brand,’ the party’s failure to offer new policies, and the futility of campaigns rooted in the 1980s and ’90s. Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, who is retiring, [...]

From Daily Kos’s The GOP is now gaming our primary for Clinton: “Hillary Clinton’s support from Republicans…is coming from Republicans who will not support her in the general election. They are simply wreaking havoc in the Democratic primary, hoping to further divide an already divided party, and perhaps even help Hillary Clinton win the nomination…Look [...]

From Salon’s running diary, The Republicans debate in Florida: 45 minutes: Romney rides the Hillary hatred. “She hasn’t run a corner store. She hasn’t run a state. She hasn’t run a city. She has never run anything. And the idea that she could learn to be president, you know, as an internship, just doesn’t make [...]

From Salon.com’s The waning power of the War Myth: “For Bush, Vietnam’s real relevance to Iraq isn’t the early withdrawal issue — it’s the ’stab in the back.’ The ’stab in the back’ holds that America was only defeated in Vietnam because we lost the will to fight. And those who sapped our will, those [...]

I don’t trust the latest staff shakeups in the White House. First Karl Rove resigns, and now Gonzales. The President’s two fiercest defenders have both left the White House, and only two weeks apart. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been in favor of Gonzales leaving since he first stepped foot in the Attorney General’s office, [...]
