Buyer’s remorse

by Darryl — Thursday, 3/24/11, 3:48 pm

Here were are, just a few months past the great G.O.P. gubernatorial invasion sweep. And we are already seeing evidence of widespread buyer’s remorse:

It’s not like they weren’t warned about overreach.

    People continually let themselves get suckered into believing that Republicans are actually fiscally conservative and want smaller government, when all they really want is to continue the redistribution of wealth upwards, or to fight culture wars.

    They’ve already largely won the class war, so it’s not surprising that they’re moving on to culture issues.

    Does anyone know if Sharkansky is collecting wingnut welfare from someone like Dunmire?

    The GOP’s claim of a mandate after November’s election was, of course, delusional. The actions of these governors demonstrate just how far removed from the core of the American populace that the GOP is.

    This may be redundant, but this article says many of Wisconsin’s Republican voters now regret voting for Scott Walker.

    “Almost five months after the election, Feest and some other Republican voters are having doubts about their choices at the ballot box”

    Very sloppy reporting….But hey, what do you expect from MSNBC? They’re as much the liberal cheer squad as Fox is the right wing one…

    HEADLINE Olympia…..
    A woman, Jane Doe, who voted to put Governor Gregoire in office is now regretting her vote..Some other communist voters are now doubting their vote.

    Right Stuff,
    There really isn’t any comparison between Fox News and MSNBC. Both have a partisan bias, surely, but, facts matter on one network and not on the other. MSNBC has no one that compares to Beck, Hannity, or O’Reilly when it comes to hyperbole and ideological invective.

    Do you understand that there is a difference between a Communist and a leftist? If so, please tell me what the difference is. As always, Maxie, you blather without adding one dime of substance to any discussion.

    I suppose that’s true if you define “liberal” as anything that is NOT rightwing propaganda lies.

    Oh, and Fox got caught the other day trying to manufacture a phony story about “human shields” in Libya, the object of which was to discredit all the non-Fox networks.

    Oh, and one more thing, Fox also got caught having one of their camera teams with the “human shield” group — and lying about it.

    It’s an AP wire story, not MSNBC. Doh! Here’s how the local ABC news station in Michele Bachmann’s district carried it:

    LD keeps repeating the right-wing lies, such as “stock market flopping like a dead flounder…” (@ # 21, above).

    Which is really stupid, considering how easy it is to check.

    Ending DJIA (at end of Presidency:

    Bush I: 3,254.0
    Clinton: 10,587.59
    Bush II: 8,281.22
    Obama: 12,226.15 (as of 10:39 a.m. today).

    I know you usually only repeat your mantra on the occassional days when the stock market is down, ignoring the long string of “up” days. But you slipped up this time, after a few days of losses due to the situation in Libya and Japan, it’s been going up for several days now and quickly made up any down days.

    And we’ve still got a full year and a half before the next election, and all indications point to the economy being posed again for another expansion. Even Boeing is hiring in the Puget Sound region!
