45728. judithathome - 3/31/2014 12:32:01 AM Arky, what do you think about David Brock jumping ship and being "FOR" Hillary today?
This dude was soooo anti-Clinton before and it looks as though, as his hair grew longer, the more he changed his attitude on Hillary...he is practically running a campaign for her today! 45729. arkymalarky - 3/31/2014 1:13:32 AM I noticed it but didn't really get any information on it. It just seems really bizarre to me, but I didn't hear him interviewed yesterday. I'll say this, I'll be all for Hillary if she will kerp bill out of her campaign except for what he would do for anyone else. His people ruined her campaign in 08 in my opinion. and for some reason, the older he gets the more everyone seems to like him and the less I really care for him. I just don't really like his style. everytime he talks it seems designed to create some kind of impression or something. I don't know. Lead to things like a used car salesman then he ever did to me. 45730. arkymalarky - 3/31/2014 1:14:21 AM He seems more like.... 45731. judithathome - 3/31/2014 2:17:27 AM I thought it was Hillary's staff who cocked it up for her back then...they seemed totally inept to me. 45732. judithathome - 3/31/2014 2:19:46 AM She remained loyal to them for far to long...they let things go downhill and she just sat back and let them continue...I said as much at the time right here on the Mote.
Since then, I've heard lots of people who hold the same view say the same thing...they just weren't ready for prime time. 45733. arkymalarky - 3/31/2014 5:37:55 AM I had thought idiot wassisface was a bill guy originally. Either way she wasn't steering her own ship and I couldn't respect her as a result. She seems to be embracing her own personality now instead of trying to manage her image. 45734. judithathome - 3/31/2014 9:07:57 PM I have a great idea for a sign women can carry when they are protesting the unfairness of places like Hobby Lobby which don't want to pay for their birth control pills:
If you can pay for HIS little blue pill, you can pay for my little pink one! 45735. arkymalarky - 3/31/2014 11:54:26 PM Good one!
I haven't boycotted a business since Exxon until this past year and my list is growing. 45736. judithathome - 5/19/2014 5:56:43 PM I truly believe the Republicans are going to take over the Senate...saw a poll today that indicates that and also says, at 60%, that healthcare needs to be discussed further. This tells me two things: 1.) it might have been a skewed poll or 2.) that more people out there think the way my neighbor does: when I asked her years ago if she had voted for the same guy I voted for, she said no because the other guy was going to win anyhow.
The Republicans came in strong telling everyone they would take over the Senate and do away with ACA; ergo, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Why the public wants to vote for the people who want to take away things and give them to rich people is beyond me...they certainly can't be voting on job performance.
If you compare the performance of the House to what the female editor of the New York Times did...who do you think needs to be fired? The paper at LEAST got published every day! 45737. arkymalarky - 5/20/2014 11:31:26 PM Dinesh D'souza looks like Mr. Bean. 45738. judithathome - 5/21/2014 3:30:14 AM I hope he's on his way to prison.
So, Arky....what do you think of Tom Cotton? Looks like he won tonight. 45739. arkymalarky - 5/21/2014 9:57:35 PM He's a piece of work. No surprise on the GOP side. AR will be one of the most interesting states all around between that race, governor, etc. I think Dems will pull it off but I'm not placing bets. 45740. judithathome - 5/23/2014 9:05:56 PM Okay...this is way beyond the pale (from an email from the Wendy Davis For Governor of Texas campaign)
This actually just happened:
Desperate Greg Abbott allies plastered ridiculously offensive posters on phone booths and bus stops that depict Wendy Davis as an "Abortion Barbie."
Yes, you read that correctly. We’re actually talking about posters with Wendy's head on a Barbie doll's body and a plastic baby coming out of the stomach.
Despite the fact I had no idea there WERE phone booths left...this is a disgusting and desperate attempt to "win" votes. 45741. Ms. No - 5/23/2014 11:08:13 PM I hope Mattel sues the shit out of them. 45742. judithathome - 5/26/2014 10:00:42 PM Tomorrow's big headline: Obama Should Be Impeached For White House Security Goof...Never Before Has Anything So Egregious Happened In A Republican Administration! 45743. Ms. No - 5/26/2014 11:34:54 PM Uh...Valerie Plame, anyone? 45744. judithathome - 5/26/2014 11:50:33 PM EXACTLY! 45745. judithathome - 5/30/2014 7:58:33 PM Shinseki Resigns; David Sloan Takes Over
I doubt anyone could have "righted" the wrongs ingrained in the VA...this didn't start with Shinseki and Obama and I doubt it will end with the new guy or a new President, either. Definitely a situation when SNAFU applies. 45746. judithathome - 5/30/2014 8:00:51 PM I tried posting the above post and this one in Politics but the site won't allow it...I have re=logged in several times now and am just going to post it where I can:
Breaking News!!
Presidential press secretary Jay Carney resigns. New guy: Josh Earnest. Great name for a press guy! 45747. judithathome - 5/30/2014 8:14:23 PM One more:
This is a good article from someone who usually leans toward the right more than the left: The Problem With The VA? Congress
...Politically, this critique of the VA is a no-brainer. After all, denying, delaying or incompetently delivering benefits to veterans who are entitled to them and have sacrificed so much for us is grotesque: the moral equivalent of kicking dogs and stealing food from children. But this political consensus and opportunity for reform will all be for naught unless it targets the main cause of the VA’s problems: Congress. Attacks on the VA’s derelictions are easy and justified, but here, as in so many areas of policy, the seeds of failure are planted on Capitol Hill....
