Washington Post: Republicans Are Failing America Or Something

There’s all sorts of fun bomb throwing materializing in the mostly Liberal media, both from journalists/opinion writers and nutty Democrats. You have wacky Joan Walsh blaming it all on raaaaacism.

Politico: Democrats “Lash Out” At Republicans Over Shutdown

Yesterday the Politico was incensed by Republicans “tossing insults” at the Senate for being “lazy”, having taken the weekend off.

Politico Has Hissy Fit Over GOP Using Mild Insults

Really, Republicans are damned if they do damned if they don’t in the majority of American media, so they might as well do Republicans toss insults at Harry Reid Washington’s shutdown blame game is already in full force – and the government isn’t even closed yet.

It’s One Blow After Another To ObamaCare

Politico finally notices that Obamacare is a train wreck. Of course, said train wreck is based on a throwaway line the Obama campaign came up with on the spur of the moment because Obama knew nothing about healthcare prior to attending a campaign event.

EJ Dionne: Obama Needs To Lay Out A Moral Position For Syria

Obviously, The Washington Post’s E.J. Dionne takes some swipes at the GOP for failing to be super enthusiastic for whatever-the-hell Obama’s Syria policy is (beyond throwing a few bombs and missiles): that’s expected. By throwing a vote to congress Obama was creating a situation where the GOP could be assaulted no matter what. Then we […]

Oh, Good, NY Times Blames UN And Congress, Saying They’ve Abdicated Their Role On Syria

Interesting. Polls range from 50% to 80% saying Americans do not want to military strikes on Syria. And 80% want Congressional approval. Yet, Mr. Obama has stated that he’s not going to bother with more than a few meetings and briefings, nothing heavy nor involved, nor is he going to seek a vote, like PM […]

NY Times: Hey, Obama Really Needs To Follow Through And Strike Syria

The Editorial Board for the Times squishily makes its case that Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack H.
