Publishermike Commented on The Birthers Got "Punk'd" With Fake Certificate by Eric Kleefeld

How can you really blame Orly. I mean after all, she got a totally legitimate email from the former Nigerian Oil minister who just wanted her help securing a copy of this birth certificate and $345,900,000 in cash that had been unfortunately left locked in a safety deposit box in Somalia. For her trouble in securing the bulk of the cash she was given a 10 percent fee and a copy of the certificate. I mean, who amoung us here would not have jumped at that opportunity.

Excuse me, I have to go check my email...

No need for a site that lists the Rush sponsors. Just listen for a few minutes to his radio show (if you can handle it) and wait for the commercials. Wait for a local business, then call that business and tell them that you heard their ad on Rush's show and you will never do business with them. A few calls like that to local businesses really can rattle their cages and you can bet their local radio rep will hear about it and it will make it back to the program manager at the station.

2009-07-03T10:46:34Z

Wow this guy did drugs before taking pubic office. I can't imagine the Right ever supporting anyone who, oh say, maybe did some cocaine or maybe was an alcoholic before taking public responsibility.

Oh wait, wasn't a guy like that PRESIDENT for the past 8 years?

Goddamn hippocrites.

Publishermike Commented on Bachmann Vows To Shun ACORN Influence, Leave Census Form Partly Blank (Note: This Is Illegal) by Eric Kleefeld

2009-06-19T16:52:30Z

Oh Michele...I was so starting to miss your particular brand of right wing craziness, what with Hoekstra (I had to answer a census question, now I know what it feels like to experience "enhanced interrogation") and Rush and the crew. It's so good and reassuring to know that you are still out there letting everyone know what ass hats the Republicans really are!

Is Snowe trying to assert some sort of 'common sense' into this debate? She's got a very safe seat here in Maine and as such can actually speak some truth to power. I dont' think she'll bolt the Republican party like Arlen and when push comes to shove, she'll stay within party lines. That said, boith she and Collins are in a unique position to safely criticize the rightward spiral of the mainstream Repubs without fear of repercussion.

Now, I'd like to see her say something about Rush Limbaugh...and then NOT apologize.

Hooray for Bachmann...She really can't let a week go by without reminding people what wingnuts the Republican Party embraces.

Keep up the Good Work Michele...Limbaugh/Bachmann 2012!

Publishermike Commented on Poll: Bush And Cheney Still Unpopular by Eric Kleefeld

2009-04-03T15:04:28Z

This may go to prove that the American public actually do understand the it was Bush, Cheney and Co that got us into this mess. The R talking point that it's all Obama's fault, since he is now the president, has no legs...

Amazing...first the American people actually elect the best candidate, and now they aren't blaming him for things that are not his fault...is it possible that we are not as dumb as we look...?

Publishermike Commented on Bachmann: "Do We Want To Be Free, Or Do We Want To Be Slaves?" by Eric Kleefeld

2009-04-03T12:08:13Z

I continue to just LOVE Ms. Bachmann. She is a constant reminder of just how crazy the Repubs are and continue to be. I would like nothing better than a Palin/Bachmann ticket...can't see the getting more than 42 percent....and that's a scary thought...

Publishermike Commented on Minnesota Analyst: Cornyn's Threat Of "Years" Without Senator Could Backfire On State GOP by Eric Kleefeld

2009-03-30T22:06:39Z

As much as I would relish Bachmann being handed her ass in 2010, I think it's better int he long run that she stay in congress and continue to remind people what wingnuts the Repubs really are.

Biden only gets to vote if it is a tie (50-50), as I was so unfortunately reminded of last night, watching Frontline about the national debt and had to look at Disk Cheney's smirk as he cast the deciding vote on Medicare Part D.

Publishermike Commented on GOPers Re-Name Climate Change Bill -- Now It's An 'Energy Tax'! by Elana Schor

2009-03-21T11:18:45Z

Personally, I have no problem with higher energy prices, if the cause of the hikes is higher "taxes" that can be used for alternative energy research. The ONLY way to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in this country is to make it too expensive. The American people are too numb to any other form of persuasion. When gas prices reached $4 a gallon last summer, we saw a reduction in consumption and the oil giants got scared and prices went down, leading to a return to high consumption.

Put in place a high tax, cap and trade, whatever you want to to call it. Drive prices up at the pump and people will start to conserve. It's the only way to do it.

Please, please, spend all your money on this. I'm sure that your parents will be proud of how you spend your allowance. Maybe they will even let you out of the basement.

Publishermike Commented on Minnesota Supremes To Franken: No, We're Not Giving You A Certificate by Eric Kleefeld

2009-03-07T16:21:10Z

If I were a MN resident, I'd be polling neighbors about filing a lawsuit claiming that Coleman's frivolous continual motions have denied me my equal protection, namely the protection of having TWO US senators looking out for the welfare of the state. MN is currently at a disadvantage by not having full representation in the Senate, due ONLY to the protraction of this contest by Coleman.

This might not hasten the end of the legal wrangling, but it might serve as a kick int he ass after it is all over, maybe as a civil suit brought against Norm after it is all over...

We voted this morning in Portland Maine with no problem. The line for a-k was three times as the line for l-z, so my we waited for my wife to finish while I watched the kids. Poll workers were pretty efficient and were registering voters right int he polling place.

Looks like a big turnout up here.

Publishermike Commented on Who to thank for Obama's ascendancy? by Publishermike

2008-10-29T17:19:26Z

you get me wrong. I am not trying to disparage Hillary at all. She did what any politician would do, she tried to win. She softened the ground for what i hope will be an Obama victory. I would probably be saying the same thing about Obama if their roles were reversed.

I thought Hillary was an excellent candidate and at any other time, I would have thrown my full support behind her. I still like her.

All I am saying is that she ran a tough and smart campaign (far smarter than McCain) and tested the mettle of the Obama people. Alot of the ammunition that the Repubs would have been able to throw out there at the last minute was fully exposed long ago and ran itself out...
