Whoops! Joe/Sam just made a mistake.

Joe/Sam must mean "pedophiles" not homosexuals/queers since there is no link between the two.

Let's give Joe/Sam the opportunity to correct his statement since he's always shown himself to be a stickler for the facts.

J Mike Hedblom

He'll become a Democrat.

Wednesday, May 6, 2009 08:02 AM

If he can't retain his seniority, what's the point in switching?

Specter's a political grifter so why would he remain a democrat if he doesn't get to keep the combo to the safe?

There has just got to be a plan to screw someone here.

Republican or Democat...

...insurance company or government coverage. Your gonna get raped no matter what happens. It just depends on which hole you get it in.

Truly.

No one in the federal government or any insurance company gives a shit if you live or die. I came to terms with that years ago and I have yet to be proven wrong.

Why do gay people even pay their taxes in this country?

Your not equal in America. Make them stand up and admit it.

Stop paying your taxes to a government that hates you.

Alan Keyes is funny.

Keep it up Alan, I can always use a laugh.

Don't get so upset, even an opportunist like Keyes has First Amendment protection just like everyone here.

Cheney is just a coward.

Limbaugh over Powell...draft-dodgers do like to stick together. Having Powell and men like him in the GOP just reminds pussies like Cheney what gigantic piss the pants wimps they really are.

There are only 2 things that drive Cheney. Money and overcompensation for his moral failures.

Iraq was the former, this interview is the later.

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 07:45 AM

Do any of these people ever do an ounce of real work in their lives.

Screaming on the radio and TV, writing books with made up shit in them, sleepwalking through their congressional positions, etc.

Have any of these talking heads/bullshit artists ever built anthing or ever picked up a wrench? Build a house for the homeless? Did any of them ever dig a ditch? Work in a restaurant? Pump gas? Do anything that requires labor?

Write a fucking column for $1,700! They can't be serious.

I'll come up with complete bullshit for a column for $200.

Why keep Yoo's identity secret?

Maybe the PI's relationship column is ghost written by Ira Einhorn?

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 09:05 AM

He'd like to be...

...but Wyoming frowns on fishing with dynamite.

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 06:20 PM

It's been almost 7 months already!

GO AWAY!

Did Dole and Kemp stick around this long after they lost? Gore and Lil Joe? Kerry and Edwards? Bush and Quayle?

Even W. disappeared!

Go the fuck away already and take Cheney and Rice with you.

For Christ's sake, go away!

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 07:35 AM

Chickenhawk.

Coward

Draft-dodger

Pussy

There's just so many ways to say it.

Friday, May 15, 2009 07:10 AM

Sounds like a bullshit excuse.

Sure to be a backroom deal in here somewhere.

Friday, May 15, 2009 07:53 AM

All those on the right should be required to read Col. Wilkerson's column on Dick Cheney first.

Then decide the future of your party.

All this other nonsense about "teabagging" is just a distraction from the truth.

Friday, May 15, 2009 09:14 AM

The GOP is now the 3rd party in the US.

Democrats and Independents are now tied in this country as the 2 most affiliated groups with the GOP coming in a distant 3rd.

The Republicans are now a "fringe" political element in this country, so why are they given so much air time to run their mouths?

Please, fade away and take your "insiders" with you.

Saturday, May 16, 2009 06:18 PM

The "democrat" party beat the GOP by 8.5 MILLION votes for POTUS.

OUCH! That must be why they're whining so loadly this time around.

It's all so predictable. Obama could balance the budget, shrink the size of gov't, ban gays from America and nuke Iran all in the same day and you people would still whine about something.

Democrat party? Is that really the best you can do today? No complaining about his birth certificate?

Monday, May 18, 2009 07:52 AM

ohiopolitico

Making up bullshit reasons to invade a country that didn't attack us is a very serious allegation. Pelosi being lied to by someone at the CIA is horeshit by comparison.

You make sure Bush and his scummers are prosecuted for the first one and I'll make sure Pelosi is prosecuted for being lied to.

Change the record, this one keeps skipping.

Monday, May 18, 2009 08:58 AM

This would just be pathetic if so many people didn't die because of their childish games.

The Bush administration was just a public sponsored day care center for grown children playing grab-ass with each other.

Depressing.

posse comitatus act - look it up

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

-- Samson141

Does that apply to the military picking helpless, drowning people from roof tops or dropping food and medicine from aircrafts?

Please explain how Posse Comitatus applies to the needless deaths of so many people during/after Katrina.

Original article: Rumsfeld denying GQ report

It couldn't have been Rumsfeld.

He was too busy in front of the camera telling us nonstop about the WMDs.

Donnie, tell me a story.

"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."

Oh, that's my favorite!

Gay people...

...stop paying your taxes!

You are not equal in this country, period. Maybe some senator somewhere would like to back a bill proposing just that.

8.5 MILLION votes!

No one is listening.

Original article: Credit card nation

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

FREE MARKET CAPITALISM IS DEAD! OBAMA IS A MARXIST/FASCIST/SOCIALIST!

There, I said it, so all you wingers can take the day off.

Original article: Daisy Dukes

Michael Steele was 6 when the "Daisy ad" came out.

He wasn't even old enough to know what it meant when it originally aired.

Way to connect with all the young voters!

Original article: Credit card nation

DQuintanaNY

Don't forget, the credit card companies get theirs on both ends. 3% and up on the front and almost unlimited on the back end.

Cap the front at 3% and the back at 5% and they'll still end up making billions a year. How much is too much?

Saturday, May 23, 2009 03:34 PM

I mean this as a serious question.

Could there be anything in this world that the Republican Party and the right wing of this country doesn't cower in fear of?

Seriously, you people need to grow a pair. Seriously.

Saturday, May 23, 2009 06:30 PM

This is just one more reason to say...

...Larry Flynt is my hero.

If I'm correct, the star means the poster has had at least one of their posts designated "editors choice". A screen name that is colored is a Salon subscriber. Many have stars and are not members, like me. I used to subscribe but not anymore for various reasons.

The commendably missing element from Obama's speech

There was no pretense that human rights is our goal, or the likely outcome, in escalating the war

Obama's exceedingly familiar justifications for escalation

The "new" approach to Afghanistan touted by White House officials seems quite old

Evan Bayh demands more debt-financed war - fought by others - while boasting that he's a stern "deficit hawk."

America's regression

It's almost impossible to find a nation with as many torture advocates as the U.S. has.
