There is a bag lady camped across a Whole Foods store I shop in. When I see her, I usually stop to chat, mostly about politics, and I'll slip her a fiver so she could buy some hot coffee and a sandwich. Today, I asked her if she would marry Dick Army in order to escape the streets and she replied that if faced with the choice, she would marry a Taliban who never showered in his life and live in a cave rather than marry than marry that douchbag Army.

Unfortunately, Lieberman is always a huge question mark, so even with Gregg, a 60 filibuster proof majority is doubtful. Additionally, I'd keep the Commerce department as far away from Republicans as possible.

I take it that you get Fridays off at idiot school.

Republicans in 2009 are eerily similar to the post apartheid hard core Afrikaners in S. Africa. Their awful and bizarre ideology has been permanently rejected and tossed in the trash heap of history by a society that has changed and evolved, while they live in the past and are delusional about restoring it some day. Our society has been changing rapidly too, becoming multi-ethnic and racially diverse. The GOP is so entrenched in the past and its ideology is so pathetically unsuited for the modern world that the GOP is doomed to become a permanent and grotesque minority, to be replaced by a new political movement.

Michael Steele is the house negro for a racist, delusional, gangster oriented party that has been reduced to appealing almost solely to racist southern rednecks, paranoid mountain states survivalists and corporatist, kamikaze-capitalism aficionados.

"Bush reduced revenue in a regressive manner that did not benefit the vast majority of consumers in any way, increased debt, cut beneficial programs, and spent hundreds of billions to low trillions on a useless war (the ultimate waste of money)."

Indeed. The Bush era was nothing short of continues terrorism against the American people by the Right wing. Those cursed 8 years constituted many 9/11 like acts of anti-U.S. terror carried out by Bush, Cheney, DeLay and the rest of the GOP gangsters. The genuine war on terror is the one aimed at erasing the devastation those GOP terrorists have inflicted on the nation.

The GOP is the greatest and most dangerous enemy the U.S. and the entire world has. It must disappear, and just like a wounded snake that is still deadly if given an opportunity to strike, it must be put down once and for all.

The Democratic party, a true Libertarian party (not delusional hallucinators) and a true social Democrat party, each with a decent shot at winning elections. The GOP, with its viciously theocratic, corporatist, imperialistic and individual freedom stifling ideology, should be eliminated from the political map, ASAP.

is a grotesque hybrid of an obese, impotent, sexually confused circus clown with an Attila the Hun/Joseph Goebbels/Torquemada and Tim McVeigh crebral functioning. He is the true leader of the GOP and a manifestation of that party's increasing descent into hellish insanity.

As someone who was heavily zapped by the IRS for $50,000 for an innocent and unintentional confusion over estimated tax withholdings, I can sympathize with Tom Daschle, a Washington insider but a man far more honest than any Republican I know. Having said that, the health czar position should've gone to Howard Dean anyway, so hopefully it will be offered to and accepted by Dean.

it will probably be planned and sponsored by Dick Cheney.

A president makes a mistake, actually admits it and doesn't blame anyone but himself. Wow!

During the Reagan and GWBush administration, the GOP had no problem passing just about any bill they wanted to pass even when they were the MINORITY party in the senate. How in the world are the Democrats unable to pass bills in the senate with a large majority the kind of which the GOP could only dream of during Republican administrations?

Whenever the welfare of the public and the future of the nation are on the line, the Republican will oppose everything designed to save the nation from the calamities caused by their catastrophic and delusional ideology. Any attempt to involve the Republicans in saving the country are doomed to fail and are a terrific waste of time and energy. The GOP is the problem, why on earth involve them in the solution?

We are in this horrible mess because the last 8 years were an orgy of deficit spending on unnecessary wars and unprecedented corporate giveaways. The only way to reverse this Republican made catastrophe is to do massive deficit spending on the American people, yep, those so despised by the Republicans.

Dick Cheney has been our Heinrich Himmler, and we need to face it to our eternal shame. We as a nation have been far too tolerant of this mass killer and serial demagogue. To excuse Olberman of an overreaction to that monster is no different from accusing journalists who had been paying attention of overreaction to the Rwanda genocide.

is the self inflicted damage to his own mandate and goals with his highly misguided bi-partisanship. We are in this mess because of the people and ideology he's trying to please and cater to in the name of bi-partisanship. The Republicans and their ideology are the problem and they can't be involved in the solution. It's as absurd as adding water to a super bottle of Bordeaux.
