Creating a George W. Bush Institute is like starting up a Glenn Beck Mental Health Treatment Clinic.

Politico parodies itself (via): The Senate, once the chamber of deliberation and reason, is getting its own extreme makeover. Moderates such as Maine Republican Olympia Snowe and Democrat Ben Nelson are bolting an institution that barely resembles the one they entered as idealistic deal makers. Ben Nelson? Idealistic dealmaker? These are words that should not be in the ... (1 comments)Despicable Quote of the Day - Icky Gay Sexytime Is A Threat To National Security
“Given the propensity for members of the homosexual community to engage in frequent and anonymous sexual encounters, the risk to national security of having a homosexual in a high-ranking position with access to secret information is obvious.” Bryan Fischer, Nutbag (0 comments)Newsweek Hearts America. Seriously. They Really F*cking Mean It.
I guess a cover featuring Uncle Sam hungrily masturbating to a painting of Jesus wearing an American flag was deemed to be insufficiently patriotic.

Mississippi: A Shining Example Of Limited Government
Ah, the land of Mississippi – that shining bastion of God-fearing, limited-government conservatism. Well, unless you want to father illegitimate babies — then the government will throw you in jail. (5 comments)Over in the UK, Labour is now up big over the ruling Tories. Part of that is almost certainly a stalled, ailing economy, but what’s sort of interesting because a big part of their drop is due to implementing a cap on charitable deductions, which is essentially what Obama wanted to do here to cut ...

Connecticut ends the practice. I have to say, this is one of those social movements that is regularly winning big victories, but almost nobody seems to be paying attention. Which is fine by me–under the wire is probably the best way for this thing to go for now.

You might have been able to get ... (0 comments)What Do You Want Schwarzenegger To Write About In His Memoirs?
The Santorum Has Officially Been Mopped Up In The 2012 Race
I think this gets it right. Additionally, though, while I find Rick Santorum’s beliefs to be pretty risible, and his inability to accept that his ideas had some less-than-ideal results during the ’00s is a personal failing, but at the very least he seemed to possess some sense of personal honor and integrity. Not as good as ...

Still trying to put a positive spin on eight years of total failure.
yeah the first time american people elected him , i was disappointed but i was like it's ok , they made a mistake and they'll realise it it soon. They wont make the same mistake again .I followed the second election with alot of interest and when americans again voted for bush , i was like what??are you serious???? how can you do this to yourself and to rest of the world . I was upset for days and bush lived up to all the expectations of evil and wrong doing that were attached to him . We used to talk about him in college . Some students used to say he is a christian terrorist , he's doing this for his religion . Some said he's a madman who thinks america should rule the whole world and only american people's blood meant anything , the rest of the world is just animals but me and my friends really believed it wasnt about religion or love for his country .
. It was about greed . He just wanted oil, it was all about the money . He did not give a damn about his countrymen. If he did , he wouldn’t have waged all the meaningless wars in which so many innocent civilians and American soldiers have been killed. He wouldn’t have wasted resources of his country that could’ve been spent on education, healthcare etc. and instead spent them on killing and torturing people . Probably that’s what he will teach in his institute . Lesson#1 : How to get your hands on another country’s resources by making it sound all in the name of love for your country and religion“ . Lesson#2 :"Road to heaven , that passes through the fields of god and oil "
If you remember these were very close elections for the presidency. The Republicans won by very narrow numbers. One of the Democrats problems was Clinton using legal definitions about sex to cover his affair. This really offended a lot of Americans and caused a huge backlash. The other problem was the far left in the Democratic Party. One of the best breaks that the Democrats received was when Nader went his own way and left the party.
