I’ve come to the conclusion that the Dems in 2010 are like the Whig Party in 1852: completely unprepared to handle the challenges that face them, and therefore it is doomed in its current configuration.

Oh well–the Dems had a good, long run. 210 years ain’t bad, but it’s probably time for something new.

This whole Juan Williams thing is a perfect fucken example. For the Republicans, every time the Democrats or anyone who can be associated with the Democrats–like some NGO or a low-level govt bureaucrat–does the slightest fucken obscure little thing that can be spun appropriately (which is basically everything on earth), the Republicans come out with fucken guns blazing ready to ATTACK! KILL! DESTROY! IMPEACH! FIRE! DEFUND! everyfucken Democrat and Democratic leaning everyfuckenthing on the face of the Earth. And then the Dems start running around appeasing these assholes hoping the assult will stop. Consequence: Republicans win again.

Some wacked out fucken Republican candidate for the motherfucken CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES states that if the Republicans don’t win congressional majorities it would be appropriate to violently overthrow the motherfucken FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, and the Democrats fucken run away like the fucken scaredy-cat little crybabies that they are, because they are so fucken afraid of being called “shrill” or “intemperate” by the Republicans and the press. Consequence: Republicans win again.

This kind of abject total complete lack of any fucken spine at all is nauseating. Independently of any policy issue concerns at all, who the fucke wants to support a political party that won’t even stand up for its own political power? SACKE THE FUCKEN FUCKE UPPE, YOU DUMSHITTE ASSHOLES!

Exactement, truffula. And LOLz to CPP.

Contemporary American politics is kind of like watching that midlife crisis/wine movie Sideways, only I can’t tell if the Democrats are Miles and the Republicans are Jack, or if it’s the other way around.

(Actually, now that I think of it, it’s pretty clear that the Democrats are Miles. Jack truly doesn’t care about anything but Jack, whereas Miles pretends to care about persons and goals outside himself but he does nothing about them and in the end it’s all about him.)

From the article, rearranged:
“He was always actively watching the women he worked with to see if they could be potential partners,” McEwen said matter-of-factly. “It was a hobby of his.”

…then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), who headed the committee, limited witnesses to women who had a “professional relationship” with Thomas.

There is only so far a good ol’ boy will go. Panem et circenses but no real exposure of the way the boys behave. Wouldn’t want the game to be up for all of them.

Something tells me this woman’s memoir will sell better now. Rumors about a tell-all book being shopped around are probably what got Ginny Thomas to place they odd phone call. Yes, Virginia, now they’ll be speculating about you too.

Heh. I was just reading the story and was about to send it to you….

Her silence makes it clear just how brave Hill was.

It’s not only women. The poor have disappeared, vive la middle class,

The majority of the poor are women and children.

Agreed that it’s not just women–but the cynical attempts to manipulate us–the majority of the Democratic party–are particularly galling to me.

Only the banks and the rich are getting their money’s worth from the Democrats. It’s not only women. The poor have disappeared, vive la middle class, which is also shafted although frequently mentioned. The foreclosure scandal didn’t bring too many Democrats to their feet. Grayson and one or two others, the rest with the chief jackass side with the banks.

But then, who will we dance with?
