lesson on why liberals will never be more than an occasional flash in the pan.

[Mr. Shaman]

If you understand what motivates a person, what their beliefs are, their opinions, positions, then it makes it easier to vote for them.

Conservatives are anti education. They knew nothing about Iraq or Afghanistan. They know nothing about Muslims. Nothing about drilling. Nothing about the economy.

....And, when someone saves their ass....ONE MORE TIME....they STILL find something to whine-about.....​

"conservatives"; Perpetual WHINERS!!!​

"Barack Obama, it might seem, should be privy to unlimited free pints in the pubs of Wall Street. Since he took the oath of office in January of 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, including dividends, has very nearly doubled. The country has added $7.3 trillion in market capitalization—an indisputably huge boon to both garden-variety retirement account holders and one-percenters. The six biggest banks just enjoyed their best 12 months since before the financial crisis. In some respects, it’s as if 2008 never happened.

Indeed, Obama is just one of five presidents since 1900 to have overseen at least a 50 percent jump in the stock market during their first three years in office, joining the non-sequiturian class of Coolidge, FDR, Eisenhower, and Clinton. A positive $7.3 trillion sound byte should seem irresistible, especially for a campaign hard-pressed to brandish financial accomplishment.

Contrary to popular belief, U.S. markets have fared substantially better under Democratic presidents. According to Barclay’s Research and the Economist, since 1929 donkey White Houses have bested elephant ones to the tune of a 10.8 percent average annual return compared with 2.7 percent. Of course, a president exerts only so much control over the economy and markets, which have to process everything from interest rates and war to oil shocks, financial scandals, and bubble-blown euphoria and panic.

At Wednesday’s Big Picture conference in Manhattan, investor Jim Bianco said the market has pulled back since Obama’s bum debate showing, reflecting the greater odds of fiscal and monetary hawks assuming power.

“The market,” insists Valliere, “wants Romney, period. Market pros concede that the stock market has done well, but the vast majority of these people are convinced that the market has risen in spite of Obama, rather than because of him.”

So you can see why Obama might steer clear of touting the bull market. He doesn’t much need a sequel to “you didn’t build that.”

Is it any wonder we STILL allow Republican-nominees anywhere NEAR The Oval Office??!!!​

Lybia, high gas prices, high energy prices, high food prices, still in afganistan, still in iraq, gitmo still open, and biden ranting lefty talking points and smirking, laughing, also interupting during a debate. Yaeh liberals really got it going on lol, your a freaking hoot! Just to name a few.

Guess what guys, the other guy is worse. Just because Rand does not pass some sort of racial purity test you want to kill him, when the Democrat who is running against him is actually the worst of the two, by the standards that should matter to you.

The only reason the Democrats ever win an election is that Republicans are so fucking incmpetant a 4 year old can out think them. Does it mean anything to you that you can't? It certainly means something to the rest of the world. Which is why you are going home in Novemeber, unless you start focusing on the real issues.

“Maddow and Paul agree on probably 90 per cent of the BIG issues confronting us, from ending the drug and Afghan war, to ending bail outs. But because of their own peculiar prejudices, his doctrinaire libertarian, hers PC progressive, neither of them can talk about anything other than a non-issue such as the Civil Rights Act of 19 -- SIXTY-FOUR. It's like a Dadaist play.”

It’s the easiest thing in the world for a grandstanding liberal to push a libertarian into a corner. Then they’ll get praise for their unflinching courage, like Morris Dees’ South Poverty Law Center putting another “hate group” in the Index and waiting for the contributions to roll in.

Here’s Maddow, brandishing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as though this is the only matter worth considering in the forthcoming race between Rand Paul and the Democrat, an awful neo-liberal prosecutor, Kentucky’s current attorney general, Jack "I'm a Tough Son-of-a-Bitch" Conway. Between Conway and Paul, which one in the U.S. Senate would more likely be a wild card – which is the best we can hope for these days – likely to filibuster against a bankers’ bailout, against reaffirmation of the Patriot Act, against suppression of the CIA’s full torture history? Paul, one would have to bet, and these are the votes that count, where one uncompromising stand by an outsider can make a difference, unlike the gyrations and last-ditch sell-outs of Blowhard Bernie Sanders. Liberals love grandstanding about what are, in practice, distractions. You think the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is going to come up for review in the U.S. Senate?

Fuck, even the liberals are disgusted with liberals today.



Alexander Cockburn: The Rand and Rachel Show

If conservatives had had their way, the 1964 Civil Rights Act would have never passed; government sanction segregation would still be alive and well.

Conservatives ALWAYS lose to progressives on issues of social progress. If anyone is a flash in the pan, it's the right.

Which explains why a the first Civil Rights act was passed by a bunch of conservatives a century before the one you are so proud of. It also explains why a progressive judge effectively gutted it in 1883.
