Like Children

Anyone catch the GOP debate in Tuesday night? What a colossal embarrassment.I don't think I've seen a finer example of the childish behavior that summarizes the right today. No wonder conservatives want other people to jump in the race. The president may have approval ratings in the low 40s but compare him to this lot and, even with a crappy economy, he's the better candidate. And that's true for the folks that aren't all that happy with him.

What's even more heartening for the president's supporters is his continued calls to pass the Jobs Act are having an effect on the national conversation in that he (as opposed to the Republicans) is actually driving it. Clearly, Boehner and McConnell are not happy about this and have been whining "no fair" to the president for the last week. Maybe if the two of them had some new ideas and were less concerned with making Obama a one term president, things would be going better for them. Oh well...

Childish dishonesty, proving him wrong, winning the argument...anything new to offer, folks?

Well, it wouldn't be necessary if he wasn't so often wrong.

Food for thought assuming you are capable of consuming anything more substantial than pre-digested talking points. [LOL, I crack me up sometimes]

Here's a good one too...

"It is hard to understand politics if you are hung up on reality. Politicians leave reality to others. What matters in politics is what you can get the voters to believe, whether it bears any resemblance to reality or not."

Agree or disagree?
