They’re all so scathing and partisan

I think I’ve figured this out. Wanna buy an empty bag? How much? It’s worth what you think you can put in it.

Partisan finger-pointing follows bailout’s rejection

Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said he and other Republicans were pained to vote for such a measure, but he agreed in light of the potential consequences for the economy and all Americans. “I think that we need to renew our efforts to find a solution that Congress can support,” he said.

A round of partisan finger- pointing followed the vote.

Republicans blamed Pelosi’s scathing speech near the close of the debate — which assailed Bush’s economic policies and a “right-wing ideology of anything goes, no supervision, no discipline, no regulation” of financial markets — for the defeat.

“We could have gotten there today had it not been for the partisan speech that the speaker gave on the floor of the House,” Boehner said.

Scathing and partisan? How about ‘truthful’? Scathing insofar as it shamed them into doing the right thing? Partisan because it was a point of view they don’t agree with?

All any Conservative can seem to do is blame someone else.

“I’m looking for a strong leader to tell me what to do.”

“I’m looking for a strong leader to compensate for my fear.”

“I’m looking for a strong leader to push my ideology.”

“I’m looking for a strong leader because you’re wrong.”

As it ever was

I hope you realize I’m not going to subsidize this elitist crap with my tax dollars!

Peace? in Burma?

Apparently the Generals have restored ‘Peace’ to the country. Really, we need another word. To say it is ‘Peace’ stains the meaning.
