You mean voters aren't looking forward to the Anti-American witch hunt? That's what this country really needs... a purge. Not infrastructure, not healthcare, not an economic recovery. A purge. I think life in a gulag would be kinda fun...

From The Guardian, 1 hour ago:

Joel Haugen, a Republican fighting a tough congressional race against the Democrats in Oregon, has fallen out with his party. The reason: his surprise endorsement of Barack Obama for the presidency. "I believe in putting nation before party and my first priority is following my conscience with regard to what is best for America," Haugen said in a statement issued by his office today. "I have a huge amount of respect for John McCain, but I believe that he has more of a cold war mentality."

...and the beat goes on...

I don't usually watch Hardball, but last night I clicked on a YouTube link and watched that interview. I can only marvel at her stupidity. Matthews very slyly dug her a hole and she marched right into it! And then to deny she said what she said! This woman doesn't deserve to hold public office.

Wow, Bachmann's really in trouble! Maybe she should go negative.

Well, here we go, "inconsistencies" with the alleged assault victim's story about the 'b' carving, etc.

I've mentioned before that the robo call company,FLS-DCI has a headquarters in St.Paul,in addition to Washington,DC. Yesterday the news was mostly about Palin's $150,000 wardrobe courtesy of GOP ,shopping sprees engendered by Jeff Larson.[ He's the L in FLS.] Well, here comes another doozie----Minnesota/Coleman connection. Forthwith:COLEMAN LITERALLY SLEEPS IN FLS-CONNECT´S WASHINGTON OFFICE IN A SWEETHEART RENT DEAL IN LARSON´S MILLION-DOLLAR TOWN HOUSE

FLS-Connect Employee Uses Apartment To Work And Take Calls. In June 2008, National Journal reported, "Coleman has a bedroom and a bathroom in Larson´s town house and shares the remaining living space, which includes his old couch, table, and chairs, with FLS Connect. A company employee uses a portion of the apartment to work and take calls on some days, according to Larson." [National Journal, 6/28/08]

Coleman Is Paying Just $600 Per Month To Live The Basement Of Jeff Larson´s "Simply Divine" Million-Dollar House. In June 2008, National Journal reported, "In July 2007, Coleman began paying Larson $600 a month in rent for a portion of a one-bedroom basement apartment in a Capitol Hill town house that Larson owns." In February 2007, 140 North Carolina Ave SE (Larson´s house) was placed on the market and listed on the website of Phyllis Jane Young Realty. Included in the listing is "a huge English basement with a media center, office space, gorgeous custom marble and oak bar plus an airy guest bedroom and bath…Simply Divine!" According to District of Columbia records, Larson paid $989,900 for the house. [National Journal, 6/28/08; Phyllis Jane Young Realty Listing; District of Columbia Public Records]

Coleman Missed Two Months´ Rent; Retroactive Rent Paid Only After Press Inquired. According to National Journal, "Earlier this month, after National Journal questioned Coleman and Larson about the living arrangement, the senator said he discovered that his rent for last November and January had not been paid. In mid-June, Coleman covered the back rent with a personal check for $1,200 made out to Larson and signed by the senator´s wife." [National Journal, 6/28/08]

She reminds me of WHY I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN (where at least I know I'm freeeee!) It's time to renew our moral oath with our great nation.

Say it with me. I pledge allegiance to the Flag....

Bachmann's behind? She's got him right where she wants him!

As someone who has lobbied the Minnesota Legislature for almost 20 years and has been involved in Minnesota politics for over 30 (and yes, I lobbied Bachmann on several educational issues during her tenure as a State Senator), I'll believe Bachmann will lose only it actually happens. That's not to say she won't, but Minnesota CD6 is heavily populated with an odd cross between the libertarian and religious wings of the Republican Party as the 2004 and 2006 results show.

Tinklenberg is the perfect Democrat to run in the 6th and if the Democratic Congressional Campaign had given him any semblance of help early, he would probably walk away with this race.

Having watched Michelle's career from the time she was railing against the federal school-to-work initiative in church basements and her unsuccessful school board campaign in a suburban school district prior to her election to the Minnesota State Senate, I can attest that she has said similar things--although not as pointed--over the years. It's just when you say them on national television instead of on the floor of the Minnesota Senate, the reaction is a bit more spirited than a collective rolling-of-the-eyes.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been more video of her chasing down President Bush at the SOTU address last year or the year before in order to plant a giant kiss on him.
