Stuff like this is why the blog has a category called “Conservative Misogyny”
Via Huffington Post, here’s a list of the 30 Senators (all Republican and including our own Kyl and McCain) who voted against Sen. Al Franken’s amendment that would penalize defense contractors who use mandatory arbitration clauses and other methods to discourage employees from reporting sexual assault: Franken’s amendment ended up passing, 68-30. Here’s a list [...]
We cannot stand by while American businesses and working people are being helped, my friends!
From The Hill: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) will lead Republican opposition to the popular cash-for-clunkers program in an attempt to block additional funding when it comes up for consideration in the Senate this week. The House voted 316 to 109 Friday to pour $2 billion more into the program, which has proved so popular that [...]
John McCain to Hispanic voters: “You people made your choice”
Senator McCain, once again, did a fabulous job of demonstrating his social ineptitude and poor anger-management skills at a recent meeting with business leaders in Washington. What began as a collegial airing of views abruptly changed when McCain spoke about immigration, according to these sources, who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution. Anonymity was [...]
Because I just wanted to remind everyone once again what hypocritical tools they are
IOKIYAR Sen. Jon Kyl (-Arizona) In Office – Earmarks Requested Fiscal Year: 2008 Number Cost Solo Earmarks 3 $11,784,000 With Other Members 28 $117,338,500 All Sponsored Earmarks 31 $129,122,500 It’s all good, though. Those earmarks have a “specific definition”, which makes them not earmarks. Somehow.
Unsurprisingly, Kyl and McCain revealed to be a tad bit hypocritical.
Per The Washington Monthly: It’s one of the reasons I find Republican hyperventilating over the earmarks more than a little disingenuous. McCain was ranting on the floor yesterday, blaming President Obama for earmarks McCain’s fellow senators stuffed into the bill. Perhaps, before McCain castigates the White House, he can spend some time talking to his [...]
T-t-talking about generational theft
I’m sort of half watching Senator McCain on CNN with John King as I toodle along on the internets this morning. I had to pop my head up and arch my delicate Diva brow when King asked McCain if he opposed the billions of dollars that Arizona was projected to get from the stimulus. Why, [...]
Less of a prognostication, and more of a wish list
I’m about 65% when it comes to predicting local races. Which means that I’m essentially going on conventional wisdom and the registration breakdown of the district. Beyond that I’m throwing darts on a board, with the slight wind of the insider knowledge in my repertoire to help me predict outcomes at my back. Every race has it’s own idiosyncracies, and [...]
