Restoring Teardrops

Teary eyed rodeo clown Glenn Beck kicks off his "Restoring America" tour by selling 700 tickets for an 8,000 seat venue. (politicususa.com)

According to the Asbury Park Press, “A crowd of about 700 people, comprised mostly of Tea Party supporters, gathered at Six Flags Great Adventure on Saturday to help kick off conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring America” tour. Spectators paid $50 for a ticket or $125 for special VIP privileges to listen to speeches by various conservative and libertarian activists, radio talk-show hosts and musicians in a six-hour event.”

Proving that it’s a lot easier to pretend to fill an open area in Washington D.C. than an area you have to sell tickets to fill.
Beck’s problem is that he has asked the same dwindling group of people to open their wallets for him too many times. $50 a ticket? Is he kidding?

Freedom is Just Another Word......

Proving once again that Rushthuglibots believe that only THEY should be allowed to have sex, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) believes that besides gays, sexually active single women should be barred from teaching in schools.
No mention of sexually active men.....hmmmmm. Perhaps they should go to Larry Craig's office?
It's a total shock that he hasn't come out against gay men as hair dressers.
Yet.

Smaller Government!!!!!

Is THIS what Teabaggers really want? Seriously? Good luck with that, asshats.

Big Surpise!!!

Chicken-shit House Dems declare they are not really Dems and to ignore the (D) following their name. Really!!

Aware that their stock has taken the same tumble as home values, Congress' most vulnerable Democrats are declaring their independence from their party's agenda in Facebook profiles, television advertisements, news interviews and campaign websites leading up to the Nov. 2 election.

I can't blame them though, I wouldn't admit it either.The Democrats, in 18 months, went full bedwetting retard at full speed.

Dumbass Appeal

The teabaggers don't even know what they stand for but apparently, the GOOPERS "pledge" isn't isn't it:

“It’s a mealy-mouthed sop to the tea party movement that is rife with platitudes and little on substance,” e-mailed Andrew Ian Dodge, the Maine state coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots national coalition of local groups. “I have yet to see one person who is wholly impressed with it.”

Judson Phillips, founder of the tea party Nation online social network, called it “a nice PR piece, but I don't think it is even showing up on our radar.” Most tea partiers, he said, “are skeptical.”

It seems that the Teagaggers whole function is to throw a cage-rattling, feces-throwing fit -- and be agenda-less. I suspect their chief complaint about the GOP Plague for America was because it was written down, and reading just isn't the teabaggers forte.

Bullshit Fatigue

THAT'S ALL, FOLKS
Dems Punt On Tax Cut Vote

Corporacrats. Fuck them all. A neutered cat has more balls than the current crop of Dems in the Senate. VOTE FOR US BECAUSE WE SUCK LESS is not gonna cut it anymore.
I didn't vote for "suck less." I voted for "Change." And can't even get spare change. So voting to extend middle class tax cuts is considered "risky" by these pants-wetting fools? You have to be a special kind of stupid to think that voting for tax cuts for the middle class makes you politically vulnerable before an election. If they're that fucking stupid, it's only a matter of time before they stick their tongues into a light bulb socket or wander into traffic. Spineless motherfuckers can't even broadcast a simple but powerful message:

Low taxes for you, higher taxes for millionaires.

Are Dems trying to lose seats intentionally? I mean really. Stand for something, for God's sake.
When the Democrats LOSE in a month, don't blame us the voters. They have no one else but themselves to blame.
The Dems just don't play hardball or any kind of ball - they are the republicans' squeak toys.
Quiz time:
What's 535 out of 300 million?

I'll tell you two things it isn't: It's not representative and it sure as hell ain't democracy. Democracy is dead. Long live the corporatocracy. And bend over just a little more....good things will trickle down to you soon.

Well we're still waiting!!!!

Ain't Corporatocracy Grand?

I'm so tired of the bullshit meme going around that now is not the time to raise taxes on the job providing small business owners. It's a three card monte game and guess who's getting fucked?
Fun with facts:
Of all the small business income filers in 2009, only 1.9 percent were in the top two tiers which would be hit by the Obama tax plan.

Seriously.

Solitary Refinement

It would be a great idea to give this group a round of applause hand:

Carrying signs reading, “O’Donnell: Hands Off Our Masturbation,” the angry masturbators clogged downtown Wilmington, stopping traffic for blocks.
Harley Farger, a leading Delaware masturbator and planner of the Million Masturbators March, said it was difficult to organize masturbators “because they’re used to acting alone.”

I like O'Donnell. It's rare to find such a total package of stupidity, prejudice, and distorted superstitious thought in someone running for public office in America ........never mind.
H/T to Rising Hegemon for the pic.

Cat food, Baby!!!

Paul Krugman:

[W]hen the tax fight is over, one way or another, you can be sure that the people currently defending the incomes of the elite will go back to demanding cuts in Social Security and aid to the unemployed. America must make hard choices, they’ll say; we all have to be willing to make sacrifices. But when they say “we,” they mean “you.” Sacrifice is for the little people.

Meanwhile, back in D.C., the congresscritters will sit on their fat asses enjoying all their many perks and bribes while they make sure that their fortunes increase at the expense of the poorest among us.

I Got Mine!!

Conservative policies are making us poor and poorer,

Who counts and who doesn't count? We hear so much about the "middle class" but rarely about the plight of the poor. And of course we hear again and again that the wealthy are "successful" and the "job-creators" who shouldn't be "punished" by being asked to give something back to the country that enabled their wealth. Conservative "market" thinking and Ayn Randian "the poor are losers" dehumanizing ideology has become pervasive and dominant as we transition from one-person-one-vote democracy to one-dollar-one-vote plutocracy. In this plutocratic environment the national discussion of tax cuts for the wealthy saturates the corporate media, while the 44 million of us in poverty now are barely mentioned and count for little.

Caturday! Oooh, what's on?

57% of republicans want to lose their Boehner

Moist, orange-hued crybaby and aged, pudfaced trannie not getting any love from their own party.

A new Public Policy Polling survey finds a majority of GOP primary voters think [John] Boehner and [fingersniffing mumbler] Mitch McConnell should lose their leadership posts. Fifty-seven percent of Republicans say the congressional GOP needs new leadership.

Republicans are doubtful on whether Boehner should get the Speaker's gavel if the party of derp retakes control of the House this fall. Getting up the poopchute would be a good place to start, 67% responded.


Please.

Caturday awwwwwwwz

Hero builds village for homeless cats on tree farm in Florida.

Craig's website says: "Caboodle Ranch has the seal of approval from the Tallahassee Humane Society and the Tallahassee/Madison County Animal Control. Representatives from both have been to the ranch and both have liked what they've found."

So do the kittehs -- there are now over 600 of them.

Gpuke's slanderous lie at ‘values’ conclave

It wasn't just cross-dressers and serial adulterers who did not get struck by the almighty Wrath of God at the so-called "values" summit: Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann also got lucky. Our buddy Jon Ponder reports --

At the Values Voter Conference in Washington, Bachmann took the podium and made this outrageous statement:

BACHMANN: “Unlimited credit cards for our elected leaders have become an in entitlement. like Speaker Pelosi, who has been busy sticking the taxpayer with her $100,000 bar tab for alcohol on the military jets that she’s flying.”

Pelosi does not drink. (Bachmann may have confused Pelosi with Republican Speaker Wanna-Be John Boehner who is famous in the capital for doing nothing but boozing, schmoozing and playing golf with lobbyists.)

Such values! Lots more at the Pensito Review.

This is gonna be awesome

Daily Show host Jon Stewart announced his “Rally to Restore Sanity” Thursday night as a protest against extremism and bellicose rhetoric on both the left and the right. Stephen Colbert kept in character as a blowhard conservative by announcing his “March to Keep Fear Alive” right afterwards.

Comedy Central has submitted an application for a permit with the National Park Service for a rally on the National Mall on October 30th.

Rethug compares Dems to terrorists

Alleged choirboy-stalker Gary Bauer oozed into the ironically-named conservative Values Voters Summit last night and compared this year's voting to overthrowing the September 11 hijackers:

BAUER: From the cell phone calls that were made and the tapes that we have, we know that those passengers went to the back of the plane. Being good Americans, they started a debate. "Well," some of them said, "we need to get back to our seats. We can't do anything about this. You don't fight hijackers. The plane will land. And then there will be negotiations. We'll get out of here." Other people said, "No, no, the country is under attack. We've got to fight." And you know what they did? Nobody won the debate! So somebody said, "Let's vote."

That's what we're going to do in 45 days, right? We're going to vote. If you get up that morning and you're tired, you're sick, it's raining -- remember these Americans on the plane. They voted to fight back. So they made weapons with whatever they can -- leftover utensils from breakfast. The flight attendant was still alive; she boiled the water for the coffee. That was going to be her weapon. They took the drink cart, used it as a battering ram. They ran down the aisle of that plane, throwing the water, fighting as hard as they could, into the teeth of men armed with box cutters!

They brought that plane down. They spared this country more pain, more sorrow, more deaths. God bless them! Don't forget them!

Let's roll! Destroy the murdering Democrap usurpers in a fiery crash of doom! Jeebus. I don't even know where to begin. That goes beyond mere derpitude. He's unhinged.

Bonus: also speaking at the "values" summit was serial adulterer Newt Gingrich.


Values?? Fucking fruitcake.
