Mitt Romney hates teachers

Mitt Romney hates teachers

We’re failing our children! Last summer I posted a rant against the GOP’s demonization of teachers that gained a bit of traction. It went like this: In any rational society, teachers are not considered “costs”. They are considered assets. Something to be valued. Something to be rewarded. The Republicans have done an amazingly effective job of turning the public’s perception […]

Would the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up?

Would the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up?

The real Shady Willard A few weeks ago, I asked you to call Mitt Romney a liar. I’m not the only one obsessed with Mitt’s lying, of course. Fine minds including Steve Benen, Greg Sargent, Jonathan Chait and Jamelle Bouie have all been struggling with Mitt’s disturbing willingness to dissemble and the media’s even more disturbing unwillingness to call him […]

Blind Trust – n. What you need to vote for Mitt Romney

MITT ROMNEY, Y U NO BELIEVE IN ANYTHING BUT MITT ROMNEY? There’s only one explanation: Mitt Romney is a robot sent back from the future to destroy Mitt Romney. How else do you explain this passionate defense of a woman’s right to a safe abortion? Or who can forget, “I like mandates. The mandates work.” And here’s my favorite: “The […]

Can We Call Mitt Romney a Liar?

Can We Call Mitt Romney a Liar?

When Mitt lies, Atlas shrugs You know the GOP’s favorite Karl Rove tactic: Take an opponent’s strength and make it his weakness. This is how Vietnam evader George W. Bush beat war hero John Kerry. This is why Sarah Palin, who was vetted as well as a pair of shoes purchased online, says President Obama wasn’t properly vetted. This blurs […]

Wake Up Call: They Can Win

Wake Up Call: They Can Win

Mitt Romney is in a cult: The Republican Party. That any American could vote for a Republican after what that Party did to this country baffles me. That the Republican they’d vote for is Mitt Romney, a transparent shill who has embraced the worst policies of Bush and Cheney, makes me angrier than Chris Christie being interrupted by state worker […]

Headline you’ll never see: Big Oil takes cut in profits to help with gas prices

Bush’s time in office. (And, yes, despite the rhetoric coming out of the mouths of nearly all Republicans at the moment blaming President Obama for the current cost […]

“A Separation” We Can’t Live Without

“A Separation” We Can’t Live Without

Won’t be fooled again? Of all Mitt Romney’s deceitful pandering, his warmongering when it comes to Iran is the most despicable. Faced with an ever-weakening campaign and an improving economy, his only hope is to gin up war. This President has been cautiously and effectively receding the “tide of war”, as he calls it. And Romney, along with Santorum and […]

Mitt Romney’s Not-So Super Tuesday

Mitt Romney’s Not-So Super Tuesday

Good Luck Tonight. Really. As Republicans in ten states take their turn at reluctantly accepting the creator of Obamacare as the GOP standard-bearer against President Obama, the actual President took the stage in the White House briefing room. He announced new help for veterans and millions of homeowners then took some questions from the press corp. Deftly, he explained to […]

Romney has a better Iran Plan than Obama’s except that IT’S THE SAME PLAN!

Romney has a better Iran Plan than Obama’s except that IT’S THE SAME PLAN!

Exactly the same, only different Mitt Romney has been going to town frightening anyone who will listen about how President Obama’s plan to deal with the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran is endangering the USA. He’s been saying on the stump, “If Barack Obama gets re-elected, Iran will have a nuclear weapon.” We can’t risk that, he said, so we […]
