Of course the GOP will pick up some Congressional sets in the 2010 mid-terms, in both the House and the Senate. After the huge gains the Democrats made in 2006 and 2008, that should be expected. Currently, however, Congressional Quarterly is projecting only ONE definite pick-up in the House for the GOP at this point, despite the astroturf efforts of the Tea Baggers.
Now that the common wisdom of Republican gains in the mid-term elections can be readily accepted, let’s look a little farther down the road to the Presidential contest of 2012. Which candidates do the Republicans have that can prevent a second Obama term? As Ed Kilgore of Salon makes clear, the current crop of front-runners for the GOP Presidential nomination are completely underwhelming. Mitt Romhey? He is struggling to explain how his Romneycare served as the model for the recently-passed health care reform to the GOP’s new base of old & rich Tea Baggers. Mike Huckabee? A record of gubernatorial tax hikes and pardons of unrepetant felons & future murderers can’t be white-washed with feel-good pastor speak or whatever lunacy passes from his lips on his Fox talk show. Sarah Palin? Her traveling circus sucks all the air and attention from any Republican candidates who might have a chance of winning a general election, thus allowing Democrats the opportunity to egg the half-term Governor on to pursue the GOP presidential nom in 2012.
I guess the only conclusion one can surmise is that we might as well go ahead and start making plans for Obama’s second inauguration right now…

Over on his blog, in which he wages a daily battle agaisnt “the stupid”, Zandar makes some excellent observations as he skewers the so-called “liberal media’ (aka the “Village Idiots”). In summary:
• The New York Times claims that former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich- who, lets remind everyone, was forced out of Congress by his own party- is “resurgent” because he tells a crowd in Iowa that “you can’t put a gun rack on a Smart Car.” Nor can you create a non-toxic environment for your kids by driving 10 mph vehicles for quick trips to the grocery store, which may explain why Hummers are now as extinct as the dodo.
• The only reason why the ethically corrupt Gingrich and Sarah Palin have any political weight at all is because the “liberal media” believes that they are worth coverage. Typically, if a politician finds their elected job “too hard” and quits halfway through, their reputation suffers irreparable damage and they are shunned by the media. Not Sarah Palin, who has mastered the art of the double standard. (For example, it appears that the Palins were in Los Angeles during Oscars week, helping herself to some free Oscar swag, when the news broke that she used Canada’s free health care system. Rumor has it that Todd spent a good chunk of that time trying to spell out the Hollywood sign.)
• Finally, let’s not forget that Fox News believes its too late for Obama to be bringing his pitch for health care directly to the American public. He should have done that shortly after taking office when his approval ratings were higher, as opposed to preventing our economy for going belly up with the passing of the stimulus package. Never mind the fact that every time the President did leave Washington for domestic trips, the “liberal media” criticized these excursions outside the Beltway, regardless of the reason.
So, can we finally please put this “liberal media” meme that lacks any connection with reality to rest all ready? Seriously, when the likes of Rupert Murdoch and Summer Redstone manipulate information is being relayed to the masses and the resources how media is being shared, how could media possibly be considered “liberal?”

If you’re not paying attention, you may miss this AP story about the American-born al Qaeda spokesperson getting captured in Pakistan. As this development is a major coup for the Obama administration and represents the fact that it is more successful fighting terrorism than the preceding Bush administration, the “liberal media” will probably not give it much attention. After all, the Obama administration is refusing to take the War on Terror “seriously” and anything that indicates otherwise is to be ignored. (F U Cheney!)
The capture of Adam Gadahn by Pakistani intelligence officers indicates that Pakistan is now a cooperating partner in the War on Terror, and not just giving us lip service as they accept billions of our tax dollars to provide the Taliban (and Osama bin Laden) safe haven inside its borders. How many al Qaeda were captured when Shrub was President? And remember all that harsh rhetoric of Obama’s regarding Pakistan that he was criticized for on the campaign trail? You know, the same rhetoric that supposedly showed how “inexperienced” he was to be President? (Meanwhile, his “experienced” rival can’t seem to remember if he is for or against cutting Medicare.) Well, it appears that such rhetoric has had an effect, as Pakistan is forced to work in partnership with the U.S. in the capture of al Qaeda residing within its borders.
But, as I said, as this reflects well on the Obama administration’s efforts to fight terrorism, it will be probably ignored by the media. The inevitable push back by the conservative media has all ready occurred. FOX News, the propaganda wing of the GOP, is claiming that a different associate of bin Laden’s was arrested in Karachi, with limited information available. (What did you expect? An acknowledgment of a job well done to the Obama administration?) I can’t wait for the inevitable post by that retard Sarah Palin’s Facebook writers suggesting that the capture of Gadahn makes our country ‘unsafe’.

Once a year at CPAC, a bunch of angry white people get together to yell and complain about things they know nothing about. Granted, I’m not on the ground so I can’t provide first-person eyewitness, but according to Thom Hartmann, who worked radio row at the conference, he spent his time “looking at a sea of white people.”
CPAC has been described by the Washington Post as the “preeminent gathering of conservative activists,” and so I was eager to hear some of this mythical “conservative common sense” I keep hearing so much about, but yet see succeed in any manner. Unfortunately, with the conference now wrapped up, it appears that the amount of substance contributed at this conference could fit into a 140-character post on Twitter.
Nah, scratch that. Probably more like half a Tweet, 70 characters followed by a string of hashtags, such as: #obamasucks #nobama #wheresthebirthcertificate, etc. etc. You know, the extent of wit as provided by conservatives…

I wonder if the Tea Baggers are going to express outrage over the fact that their Princess Sarah has been living large, tax-free on the backs of the vacuous dupes that line up for hours to buy her books, and perform the unseemly act of paying taxes to insure our country has revenue and isn’t reduced to solely borrowing money from Communist China.
Nah, for some reason I doubt that. Such indemnity can only be expressed for members of the President’s cabinet who, although paid taxes, ended up underpaying and had to refile, paying assorted interest and fees. That’s a big difference than paying zero taxes on assessed value on two monstrous winter “cabins” tucked away on acreage in the Mat-Su valley.
Is it undeniable now that two of the biggest con jobs in American history are none other than Sarah and Todd Palin? And in regards to all those Tea Baggers who gave donations to Sarah’s PAC so she could purchase copies of her own book- thus driving it up the best seller lists- an old saying regarding what happens to fools and money comes to mind.
H/t Shannyn Moore over at the Mud Flats.

 a principled, common sense, Strong, HARD conservative Remember when Levi Johnson posed naked in Playgirl? Yeah, most people didn’t care either. But uppity conservatives thought this might actually be the apocalypse. There was all this big hubabaloo as to whether Levi was going to go Full Monty or not reveal the real “Johnson”. He eventually went with the latter by covering his extreme private parts with a hand towel. However, this didn’t stop Palin from saying about the father of her grandson, that Levi was taking a “heartbreaking” venture into “porn” on Oprah.
Never the less, while Palin has been traveling the country embarrassing herself elsewhere she has weighed in on a few of the upcoming elections as well, saying this about MA Senatorial Republican candidate Scott Brown, that he has “you know, common sense conservative values, principles, solutions, being plugged in to meet the challenges facing America today.” Because obviously someone who poses nude in a Centerfold (without even a hand towel) demonstrates, what is it again, “conservative values, principles, solutions, being plugged in to meet the challenges facing America today.” Or maybe Levi is taking a venture into porn because of the magazine in which he chose to pose in, which was no Cosmo like Brown’s pictorial. And who knows, since Brown’s expose was during the 80s, maybe Levi will make a great Republican Senatorial candidate in 20 years. Hmmm, Levi doesn’t seem to have quite as good a grasp on hypocrisy yet, like all principled common sense Republicans do.
Take the poll : Is A.) the nude photo of Levi Johnson the porn and the nude photo of Scott Brown the common sense conservative, B.) the nude photo of Scott Brown the porn and the nude photo of Levi Johnson the common sense conservative, or C.) Sarah Palin is a hypocrite?

 McCain/Palin visor at the beach My god, this lady is so dumb. Is there a bigger idiot than Sarah Palin? While in Hawaii with her family she decided to go “incognito” by putting on a “visor”, that way nobody would recognize her with a flap over her forehead and a band around her head, much in the same way that when Superman puts on a pair of glasses he is mysteriously no longer Superman but now Clark Kent instead, or when Zoro dawns an eye mask he’s instantly unrecognizable. However, since the RNC hasn’t been buying Palin any new clothes in over a year, all she had were these old “McCain/Palin” visors left over from the campaign. Except wearing a visor that said “McCain/Palin” would obviously ruin the whole being “incognito” for those who already recognize her, because wearing a visor in the first place is such a dumb disguise. Solution? Palin decided, in her infinite wisdom that’s being reserved for when she presides over the most powerful nation in the world, and with the fact that nobody in Hawaii sells any other kind of hat, the best option would be to take a sharpie and black out the words “McCain/Palin” on the visor. Now nobody will know it’s her! Well, except TMZ who took pictures of her in her silly blotted out campaign visor.

 You Betcha! Also! The best conservatives can do to present the Obama administration as somehow failing, is from the pressures of the jobs situation, double digit unemployment, and the health care debate, which has droned on for nearly a year, and a final bill that will probably be so watered you can drop it on the California wildfires. Not withstanding, Barack Obama’s numbers have been essentially unchanged for three months now even under those circumstances. However, should Congressional Democrats be panicking right about now? It’s too early. Should they be nervous? Maybe.
