Excellent article on Politico.com on how 44 is losing the narrative on this issues:
http://www.politico.com/news/s…
The one he needs to work on first? He’s a pushover. That affects a number of other issues, and in a situation where he needs all the Sen Dem votes he can muster, it should be worked on now.
great article and right on target. I hope someone was wise enough to give the President a copy.
Clinton returned 3 years later for a second term and Ritter looks well on his way to a return to his desk.
The worst part of this is the lack of political capital to get healthcare over the line, but then that hasn’t stopped him from handing out billions in taxpayers funds as political grease. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/j…
The worst weekend news result was for former Gov. Mike Huckabee – it was discovered he has a Willie Horton problem.
http://swampland.blogs.time.co…
Willie Horton = Wayne Dumond
Obama’s slippage comes from the loss of support from the left wing of the Dem party.
The left wing is the only real base either Ritter or Obama can hold on to right now.
for not having the ghost of a clue were all from far lefties? You know they generally publish pro and con in proportion to the number they receive on each side, don’t you? Especially in a big Sunday group of eight letters, they try to get some diversity of opinion.
They get more flack from the left than they do from the teabaggers. Other than their potentially violent behavior, teabaggers aren’t taken seriously by most sane folks.
I might want to review their methodology, though just identifying voters by race seems biased in itself. I would bet that “White Voters” includes liberal left wing voters.Both numbers still aren’t too bad actually. The last recession like this occurred in the first 2 years of President Reagen’s administration and he won a landslide
It is being reported on all major news wires that the suspected shooter in the Washington police officers massacre is Maurice Clemmons. He had a prison sentence in Arkansas commuted by then Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Given the nature of politics, I think we can safely assume that in the near future Huckabee will be “Willie Hortoned.”
safer to assume that one of the bullets that Clemmons fired hit Mike Huckabee’s career in elective politics directly in the heart…thus, there will be no need to a Willie Horton-style ad targetting Huckabee.
The Republicans will blame it on the Democrats. It won’t work in the stte of Washington most likely, but it will to fire up their base. Their base believes FDR was a an evil Masonic conspirator for example.
…only problem with the sentences he commuted while Governor.
There was also a serial rapist named Dumond who he let out.
Interested in more examples.

Denver Attorney Jeralyn Merritt had some information on Clemmons’ case in a comment on her legal blog Talkleft.com.
Grants of clemency are never quite as simple as they seem, particularly when they backfire. But as the Republicans invented the Willie Horton approach to campaigning, perhaps they should suffer from it as well.
I wonder whether Caribou Barbie commuted any sentences or issued any pardons (except, of course, that infamous Thanksgiving turkey last year while the bloodbath in the background was being filmed) that will come back to haunt her.
a judge should automatically be expected to recuse themselves if a defendant threatens them. Seems to me the message sent would be to just keep threatening the judges assigned your case until you get a “softie”…
She also wrote extensively about them during the presidential campaign.

Good find.

…even Gecko.
OTOH, there was Barb and Jenna Bush (I hear since turned around), and Jeb Bush’s kids.
She allegedly violated her probation (IIRC, the charge was that they found some dope on her while she was in rehab) and she was hauled before a judge as a result.
It was the fall of 2002. Jebby was running for re-election as Governor of Florida and wasn’t about to tarnish his sterling political reputation nor besmirch the good name of Bush (big brother was working on that all alone) by appearing in court to offer moral support to a young woman who may have had a drug problem.
So he sent Aunt Dorothy to be there for her niece. Not even Columba showed up to support her daughter.
Republican family values at work!
Link.
Thoughts?
and no offense, LB, but the day I take David Frum seriously is the day I get my head examined.

Time to take a break from the political grind.
The Grinch is an anti-Christian Democrat.
Watching that show will only make you a sympathizer.
start blogging under your name, Ralphie? 🙂
But Ralphie can sometimes post snark.
Not often, but sometimes, you know?
