It’s come to this. Evidently, politics is no place for beliefs.  Win or go home.  Results matter! — So long as you don’t go tampering with the conditions for achieving those results by insisting on new parameters for deciding them — like, for instance, the introduction of a clear constitutional vision and a return to the foundational ideas for this country. Now.  Fall in line, purists.  You’re fucking it up

Good catch from Squid, who — in reacting to Mitt Romney’s latest attempt to sound the conservative clarion call, this time with respect to a repeal of ObamaCare — notes the following, pulled from Romney’s op-ed: My program begins by taking seriously the words of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are

My son woke me up very early this morning with a high fever — I had to stay up and keep cold compresses on his head until he was sufficiently cooled — so I doubt I’ll be posting much today. While I’m awake here, though, let me address a particular commenter who has, time and again, expressed his very obvious displeasure with my posts taking both Mitt Romney the candidate

— His current 2012 views (like Obama’s, and lately Chu’s) evincing both his pragmatism and his flexibility, I guess.

I know, I know: all the discussion on this site about how language and intepretation works, or are asserted to work, is “fundamentally unserious.” After all, we have a member of Team R to get into office, so that he can get to work diluting heavily concentrated progressive initiatives with some of the GOP’s patented compassionate conservatism (which consists largely of accepting the left’s narrative frames, then working to show

I’m not sure what’s worse here: that the GOP’s “inevitable” candidate, touted by the GOP establishment and their lapdogs for his “electability,” is now on record as praising the economic portion Bush presidency; or that he is now on record as claiming that it was TARP — supported by Obama and rejected by conservatives — that saved us from a depression. — Which, I guess once you’ve decided that we’re

So tell your video clips to stop lying. Racists.

So, QED. Notes John Nolte: what a disconnect. While Academy Award-winner and Obama supporter Tom Hanks and Eagles musician Glenn Frey parade around in the worst racial stereotypes imaginable, they mock Republicans. I guess they believe that inoculates them from bathing in open racism. Because it does, John. In Ameritopia — and in fact in any tyrannical or liberal fascist leftist regime — your political identity determines your moral worth.

The Democrats have decided they’ll battle evil Republican attempts to take away your free health care by dispatching “Truth Squads” to educate you. And honestly, who can you trust if you can’t trust a Democrat politician. #winning!
