    Congratulations to the residents of Boeing’s new home,SC-01 on its election of the family values and clean government candidate Republican Mark Sanford. Nothing says qualified to design and build commercial aircraft than electing this unethical dolt.

    Michigan is open for business! And the business is plunder:

    Snyder is lying again. Slowly dismantling public education for private gain is part and parcel of the Republican Party’s self-serving corporate agenda.

    The voucher program works by cheapening the quality of education in profit-making charters by the use of video conferences to teach students. This means the charter can hire fewer teachers since students would learn via long distance video conferences…

    Michigan is no longer functioning as a democracy. It is a corporate oligarchy in which aides and friends of the governor create policy in secretive groups.

    Golly unemployed salt licking moron ylb… here’s another view.

    “There is one common enemy, that’s academic failure,” [Obummer’s Education Secretary Arne] Duncan said. “All of us adults have to put aside our little petty differences or whatever and figure out how every single child in Detroit, in Michigan, and across the country has a chance to get a great education.”

    Parents who attended the meeting agreed.

    And Detroit has 54,000 kids in charter schools?

    Oh my the unemployed salt licking moron ylb is upset. Since you like dem unions why ain’t you employed by one…? Let’s look at “relationships”:

    On December 8, 2008, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan determined the district’s inability to manage its finances and declared a financial emergency.[27] Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm appointed Robert Bobb as the emergency financial manager of Detroit Public Schools in 2009 to manage the school districts finances.

    compared to this…

    The 2008–2009 edition of the Michigan Department of Education’s ranking of Michigan Public School financial data showed the mean Detroit Public School teacher’s salary stood at $71,031, more than 14% higher than the state average of $62,237.[34] During the same period, the Michigan cohort graduation rate was 80.1%, while Detroit Public Schools’ cohort graduation rate was 67.39%, 16% lower than the state average.

    December 2008, ya jackASS. Granholm said enough… Granholm… DUMMOCRAPT! Sux to be you!

    I rise today in praise of Majority Leader Harry Reid. Yesterday, our esteemed Majority Leader said the following — quote — ‘My friend from Texas is like the schoolyard bully. He pushes everyone around and is losing. And instead of playing the game according to the rules, he not only takes the ball home with him, but he changes the rules.’ Today, Leader Reid continued his demonstration of civility, referring to me as the — quote — ‘very junior Senator from Texas.’ As I noted yesterday, the Senate is not a schoolyard. Setting aside the irony of calling someone a bully and then shouting them down when they attempt to respond, today I wish simply to commend my friend from Nevada for his candor.

    Enough of PStupid’s idiocy..

    In other news, another wrong wing tool (a guy after PStupid’s cold, dead heart) had this to say:

    It wasn’t just one person, it was one religion. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.

    Riiiiight.. Until the terrorist is a wrong wing white supremacist from Minnesota:

    Federal authorities said Monday they are confident that they foiled a planned attack on the Montevideo Police Department and possibly saved lives when they arrested a man with suspected white supremacist leanings.

    Buford “Bucky” Rogers, 24, of Montevideo, was arrested and charged Friday with being a felon in possession of a firearm after federal authorities found suspected pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails and guns during a search of his family’s mobile home, according to a federal criminal complaint and affidavit.

    http://www.startribune.com/local/206277591.html

    Not surprisingly, Faux and Freaks has little to nothing to say about right wing terror in this country.

    Fifty-six percent of domestic terrorist attacks and plots in the U.S. since 1995 have been perpetrated by right-wing extremists, as compared to 30 percent by ecoterrorists and 12 percent by Islamic extremists. Right-wing extremism has been responsible for the greatest number of terrorist incidents in the U.S. in 13 of the 17 years since the Oklahoma City bombing.

    The Post and Courier, published in Charleston, is South Carolina’s 3rd largest daily newspaper. It published the story above on April 22. This is what they reported:

    “Colbert Busch also had a difficult divorce and aftermath. She was granted a divorce from her first husband, Robert W. Legare, in August 1987. Court records show the couple continued to fight in court over unpaid child support, insurance and Legare’s visitation rights. In November 1988, Family Court Judge Mendel Rivers Jr. issued an order saying they had ‘failed miserably’ to resolve their differences in the children’s best interest and ordered them both confined to the Charleston County jail for 24 hours.”

    And then there’s this commentary from a blog with a libertarian orientation:

    “We’re more than willing to give Colbert-Busch the benefit of the doubt in all this. After all her first ex-husband was on America’s Most Wanted … so it’s safe to say there was an elegant sufficiency of crazy on his side of that marriage …”

    http://www.fitsnews.com/2013/0.....blems-too/

    So here we have a libertarian website giving Colbert-Busch the “benefit of doubt in all this” (i.e., her 24 hours in jail) because the judge also threw her, ahem, TV star husband in the (literally) cooler. Hey, divorce gets tumultuous, sometimes. Think family court judges have an easy gig? This judge locked ’em both up until they cooled down. Nothing newsworthy about that. Happens every day all across this great land of ours. If newspapers had nothing else to report, people would have quit reading newspapers 200 years ago.

    Well, hey, piddles didn’t go to journalism school (like I did before I went to law school), or work for a newspaper (like I did before I became a lawyer), so you can’t expect him to have even a rudimentary understanding of what is news, and what isn’t. And he doesn’t, as he demonstrates (again) in this thread.

    She and her ex seem to have been mired in some pretty nasty divorce and custody negotiations, and the judge sent them both to jail for a night to move them along.

    Obama administration officials are finally letting the attorney for a Benghazi whistle-blower get a security clearance — but the clearance is at such a low level that it will probably slow the congressional probe of how the administration handled last year’s terrorist attack on the embassy in Benghazi, Libya.

    But didn’t the Obummer whitey house and State Department say they weren’t blocking anyone?

    Greg Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission in Libya, said lawyers from the State Department told him not to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

    Do you try to sound this stupid, puddybigot, or does it just come naturally?

    Here’s Colbert-Busch talking about her ‘jail time’…

    “Twenty-seven years ago, I left an abusive marriage,” she said. “I left because I had to protect myself and my children. I went to court to try and get help, and during that time, the judge became very frustrated with the situation, and that’s how I wound up where I was. As a mother, would I do it again? You bet I would. I am a mother first, and I will protect my children, today, yesterday, and tomorrow. I would do it over and over and over again.”

    Good Christianist Foster Freiss, who is largely responsible for bring us Rick ‘Frothy’ Santorum, and who was supporting Sanford, brought it up in a VERY smarmy email, and may have been behind a push-poll ‘getting it out there’.

    You seem to allege that the ‘libtard MSM’ was avoiding it to protect her. I argued that it was not germane to the race. You seem to think that going to jail to protect her kids from an abusive ex-husband somehow shines a poor light on her. Or, it might be construed that you’re alleging that the lack of ‘MSM’ coverage of exculpatory information about her is…indicative of something.

    As usual, the disorganization of your thoughts leave an antagonist with only contempt, or pity.

    Tell me this puddybigot, should the ‘libtard MSM’ have beaten the drum for Foster Freiss’ below-the-belt attack?

    One aspect of the way they vote in Canada, is it is mostly paper ballots, although the ballot box is too simple.

    Good god, you’re an imbecile.

    Do you even read your links?

    Do you just post links someone tells you to?

    How do you explain your incessant use of links that suggest someone else shares your lunacy, which in fact all too often say nothing of the sort, when one of us bothers to look?

    In this case you liken the ex-Halliburton-CEO-cum-Vice-President meeting with oil CEOs to craft national energy policy, read here…

    Soon afterwards, the United States House of Representatives approved the measures and decided to legalize the new policy set forth by Cheney. Upon revision of the policy it was evident that many of the regulations and recommendations were pro-Oil company.

    and

    Despite the fact that renewable energy was the purpose behind establishing this force, only 7 of the 105 recommendations in the final report referenced renewable energy. Many of the big oil companies were benefiting from the policy. There is some speculation that some of the congressmen profited from the policy due to the major contributions they got from these companies.

    and

    Most of the activities of the Energy Task Force have not been disclosed to the public…

    You seem to be saying that Obama did something similar, but that the ‘libtard MSM’ isn’t reporting it, and there is no hue-and-cry from the left.

    However, from the Politico piece to which you link…

    President Barack Obama met behind closed doors with energy executives Wednesday in a session the White House said was arranged to discuss the industry’s response to Hurricane Sandy last year and preparations for this year’s hurricane season.

    and

    Edison Electric Institute President Tom Kuhn told POLITICO’s Darren Goode that Obama was at the meeting for 35 to 40 minutes. Goode reports the session included some discussions of regulatory relief, such as clearing away red tape and granting “transportation waivers” for repair crews during storm responses.

    Now, I suppose you can be forgiven, given your limitations, for confusing a still-secret set of meetings between Cheney and his oil buddies in crafting broad national energy policy that benefited all of them, with an Obama meeting with Coastal gas and electric utilities to discuss what to do when another catastrophic hurricane hits.

    Even the Politico hack you link to makes the same false equivalence…

    During Obama’s first bid for the White House, the freshman senator complained about then-Vice President Dick Cheney’s private meetings with energy industry representatives.

    Now, Obama is clearly WAAAAY more right and overly business-friendly than I like or expect from a Democrat, but there’s simply no way you or Politico can successfully spin a menacing parallel between what Cheney did with this recent Obama meeting.

    Moreover, THIS is also VERY different from standard Cheney (secret) practice:

    While the meeting was closed to press coverage, it was included on Obama’s public schedule for Wednesday. The White House also released a list of the industry attendees, including Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and energy policy adviser Heather Zichal.

    A list of the industry participants follows:

    Tom Kuhn EEI

    David Owens EEI

    Wow! Puddybigot heroine, Sharyl Attkisson of CBS, is both a Benghazi-truther and an VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM flat earther!!

    She clearly has feathered a nice nest with her appeal-to-the-crazies franchise!

    Here’s some more take-down of Puddybigot’s favorite CBS reporter/crackpot.

    Me, @84:

    Should good Christianists stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the adulterer Sanford?

    Puddybigot, @91, dodging the question:

    Should good Christianists stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the adulterer Clinton?

    What puddybigot misses here, as usual, is the construction and logic of positive correlates or parallels or comparisons, or the underpinnings of hypocrisy.

    By bringing up Clinton, puddybigot makes my point for me, though he thinks he’s engaging in a clever rebuttal.

    See, puddybigot, Clinton was excoriated by the right for his infidelity, and this was taken from the moral realm into the political, and he was impeached by a moralizing pack of Republicans, and Joe Lieberman.

    He remains reviled to this day by your crowd.

    Sanford is an adulterer, too. However, the hue-and-cry from the right is muted, and now that he’s won, fairly nonexistent. I don’t think I’ve seen a word penned by you disavowing this Republican.

    One could say power trumps morality for those in puddybigot’s camp.

    So, puddybigot dodges the question about his and his party’s commitment to the adulterer/liar/job-abandoner Sanford, and does so by bringing up an object lesson in which a Democrat, who did not abandon his job, was the target of the most ferocious political attack, all based in morality, by the right-wing.

    Hypocrisy much?

    Moreover, The Sanfords clearly had a suboptimal commitment to the bond they forged before their community and their God – they opted for divorce. The Clintons seem to have better honored these vows before God and man and worked through their troubles within their marriage. Seems, in the vernacular of the Bibul-thumpers that the Clintons are better Christians, eh puddybigot?

    (Note, as an atheist I care not a whit whether two people decide that splitsville is the better option for their particular situation…I’m merely applying the moralizing judgmental attitudes I find among puddybigot’s crowd, and apply them to further illustrate their hypocrisy)

    @112. Good points.
    However it’s pointless to write about facts and logic and hypocrisy to Puddy. It really is. He will just willfully misunderstand the post and scream it’s a win.
