Harry Reid: The Tea Party Will Disappear As Soon As The Economy Gets Better
...

"Everyone Knows . . . "
There is a decidedly arrogant claim engendered by the horde of Progressives which starts with the words "everyone knows." For example, everyone knows the Tea Partiers have a Racist agenda. And everyone knows Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. Presumably if everyone knows, evidence to buttress one’s argument is unnecessary. Dissent is a function of those conservative know nothings, the grass-roots mob wallowing in ignorance. If the Tea Partiers display none of the characteristic...

Tragedy brings together lawmakers on both sides of aisle
In the midst of seething discord, it sometimes takes a tragedy to bring people together. The calm of the first weekend of the new Congress was shattered Saturday when a gunman opened fire on Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a Tuscon shopping center Parking Lot, killing six, including a Federal Judge, and critically wounding the congresswoman. Lawmakers of both parties expressed shock and support for Giffords, a moderate Democrat. “I am horrified by the senseless attack,” Republican Speaker...

Tucson tragedy, exploited by main stream media?
Moments after the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the main stream media, in a rush to cast blame, chose the conservative Talk Shows and the Tea Party movement as the main instigator to today’s tragedy. They claimed that it was the “Rhetoric” spewed by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and other conservative media that led Jared Loughner to commit such a cold blooded attack. Commentator Keith Olbermann of MSNBC called out Sarah Palin, Allen West, Sharron Angle, Glenn Beck, B...

Rep. Giffords: Were on Sarah Palins targeted list.
“At a time like this, it is terrible that we do have to think about politics, but no matter what the shooter’s motivations were, the left is going to blame this on the Tea Party movement,” Mr. Phillips, from Tea Party Nation, said on his Web site. “While we need to take a moment to extend our sympathies to the families of those who died, we cannot allow the hard left to do what it tried to do in 1995 after the Oklahoma City bombing,” he wrote. “Within the enti...

Jane Fonda Blames Giffords Shooting on Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and the Tea Party
Jane Fonda has blamed Saturday's tragic Shooting Spree in Tucson, Arizona, on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, conservative Talk Show host Glenn Beck, and the Tea Party movement. Actually, Giffords is not a Progressive. Wikipedia lists her as part of the Blue Dog Coalition. It would be nice if Fonda knew how to spell Beck's first name, but since she's likely never seen his show or read anything he's written, it's not surprising. Nice job, Jane. You're quite a rocket sc...

Paul Krugman Blames Giffords Shooting on Palin, Limbaugh and Beck
While Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) fights for her life in a Tucson, Arizona, Hospital, liberal media members continue to point fingers of blame for Saturday's tragic shooting spree at prominent Conservatives such as Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck. We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was. She’s been the target of violence before. And for those wondering why a Blue Dog Democrat, the kind Republicans might be able to wo...

Is Bill Daley the ultimake heartbreaker for the Left?
For most observers, the selection of William Daley makes a lot of sense for Barack Obama, both on the surface as well as in the curious Chicago-influence exchange vibe from Rahm Emanuel’s candidacy for the job held now by Daley’s brother Richard.  For those on the Left, though, the choice forces those convinced that a poor choice of advisers have kept President Obama from fighting for their radical progressive agenda to acknowledge that Obama himself is not the man they thought th...

Countdown's Keith Olbermann tonight: Visit MSNBC.com for breaking news, world news, and news about The Economy Partial transcript (full transcript here): This morning in Arizona, this time of the ever-escalating, borderline-ecstatic invocation of violence in fact or in fantasy in our political discourse, closed. It is essential tonight not to demand revenge, but to demand justice; to insist not upon payback against those politicians and commentators who have so irresponsibly brought us to th...

Fuel duty cut urged as bills rise
The price of petrol has hit another record high, prompting a Small Business organisation to urge the government to consider cutting fuel duty. The average price of unleaded has hit 127.7p per litre, according to Experian Catalist. The government confirmed it was looking at a fuel price stabiliser, which would cut duty when the price of oil went up. But the Forum of Private Business has urged the government to just cut duty if this was too difficult to introduce. Prime Minister David Cameron ...

The Conservative Brain
via Mike Licht via Salon. Specifically, the research shows that people with conservative tendencies have a larger amygdala and a smaller anterior cingulate than other people. The amygdala -- typically thought of as the "primitive brain" -- is responsible for reflexive impulses, like fear. The anterior cingulate is thought to be responsible for courage and optimism. This one-two punch could be responsible for many of the anecdotal claims that conse...

Someone Needs a Lesson in Blogging Etiquette
I’m behind on everything and the last thing I felt like doing this morning is dealing with a content thief. Now it’s almost 1:00 PM and I still haven’t gotten anything done. Over the past few days I’ve noticed trackbacks from a website called Conservative News. This morning I discovered this site was posting my entire RSS feed, meaning every word from every one of my posts was posted at his site. There was no contact information that I could see so I posted a comment as...

The Fighter: An Up Close Look at Harry Reid
Esquire magazine has an in-depth profile of Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid, as well as a look inside the last 72 hours of his successful campaign against Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle. Reid has decided to spend the last evening of his last campaign thanking the people who have canceled a year of their lives for him, in what out in the world [looked] to be a doomed effort. Fifty-three field organizers scattered all over Nevada. Fifty-three calls to make. It is one thing to acquit yourself...

So the Tea Party is a Fading Fad?
This just in from our illustrious Senator from Nevada: "The Tea Party will disappear when The Economy gets better and the economy's getting better all the time," Reid told NBC's "Meet the Press" in an interview that's set to air Sunday. Is there truth to his assumption or is he completely out of touch? I would most definitely argue the latter. Harry Reid has proven over and over again how out of touch he is with everyday America and the struggles the country is facing. How he manages to continue...

Gov. Sunny sees a silver lining in every cloud
One of many supplicants who recently met with Brian Sandoval left disheartened by the grave picture the newly minted Governor painted of the state’s Budget. But he was almost equally struck by something else: “He’s so damn likable,” the insider confided, echoing what many (myself included) who have known Sandoval for years have come to believe, as are others who are just meeting him in his new job. But it’s more than that — or is it less? After I interviewed Sandoval last
