A long over due RedEye Rant
Why did I wake up this morning to see TeaPublican after TeaPublican all over the TeeVee spouting the same, tired right wing lie.... "now is not the time to raise taxes" over and over again, in a pre emptive strike against President Obama's speech tonight.
WTF were the Democrats? WTF weren't they allowed on TeeVee to complete the sentence.."now is the time to make the rich pay their fair share of taxes"? Publius IX is right (no pun), What We've Got He-ar is a Failure to Communicate. Until and unless Democrats demand equal time in the mainstream media the TeaPublicans are going to continue to control the message, thereby controlling the outcome.
The media wants the message be Obama is going to raise your taxes. Dumb and Dumber hear this on the TeeVee and get all riled up. They don't know the republicans are fighting to keep the Bush tax cuts for the rich intact. They don't know if the rich paid their fair share we wouldn't have a budget deficit, we would have a surplus (remember Clinton?)
I'm pi$$ed President Obama and the democrats threw the citizens in Washington D.C. under the bus for political gain. I agree with Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C. residents should tell Congress to go straight to hell. President Obama may have averted a government shut down, but what if the residents of D.C. shut down the city? What if they cut off the water and electricity to the capital? I'm just saying...
I'm pi$$ed the senate will vote tomorrow on the TeaPublican amendment to defund Planned Parenthood.
You know something is wrong when Alan Simpson starts speaking truth to power. I wish he would talk to his girl Michelle Bachman and The Donald and put the Obama Birth Certificate Bull Poo to rest once and for all. Speaking of the double standard, remember how White House Environmental Advisor Van Jones was fired because he signed a 911 petition? Remember how Dan Rather and CBS producers were fired over the George W. Bush Alabama National Guard Service (or lack thereof)?
We now have mainstream media and punditry giving credence to a "both sides" meme regarding President Obama birth certificate making it acceptable to openly question whether the President is a citizen with an air of legitimacy. Notice how the mainstream media didn't entertain a "both sides" meme about Bush and Van Jones? I'm just saying...
Speaking of giving credence to a "both sides meme", I tried to tell y'all Alabama 7th district Congress Critter Terri Sewell was Artur Davis in designer pumps, but did y'all listen to me? Noooooo. As a matter of fact I was booted off the front pages at Left in Alabama for my *ahem* efforts. But it looks like I've been vindicated. And if that's the case, may I please have my posting privileges at Left in Alabama restored?
RedEye Rant over and out. For now.

One of the less loathsome aspects of the deal Obama and the Democrats cut with the GOP was to allow an open vote on one of the less rational strategies in the Republican Party war against women: defunding Planned Parenthood. Pence's amendment passed 240-185 on February 18. Right wing Michigan freshman Justin Amash voted "Present," 7 Republicans-- Charlie Bass (NH), Judy Biggert (IL), Mary Bono Mack (CA), Charlie Dent (PA), Bob Dold (IL), Rodney Frelinghuysen (NJ) and Richard Hanna (NY)-- voted with the Democrats, and 10 anti-Choice fanatics on the Democratic side voted with the GOP:
Dan Boren (Blue Dog-OK)
Jerry Costello (IL)
Joe Donnelly (Blue Dog-IN)
Dan Lipinski (IL)
Mike McIntyre (Blue Dog-NC)
Collin Peterson (Blue Dog-MN)
Nick Rahall (WV)
Silvestre Reyes (TX)
Mike Ross (Blue Dog-AR)
Heath Shuler (Blue Dog-NC)

Redeye's Week In Review
Artur Davis, I mean Terri Sewell is the democratic congressional nominee from the 7th district. She was quoting Shirley Chisholm on Wednesday and announcing she wasn't going to be a rubber stamp for President Obama on Thursday. Now we see why Emily's list was so *ahem* invested in 7th district congressional race. If the republicans were smart, and I'm not saying they are, they would run a social liberal, fiscal conservative candidate against Sewell in the fall and take a "safe" democratic seat. But why should they bother to run a candidate when they have Artur, I mean Sewell? I wonder if Sewell is going to vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker of the house? Naahhh. This is messed up on too many levels to enumerate. The voters in the 7th district don't deserve this. If the Alabama democratic party were courageous, and I'm not saying they are, they would run a real democrat as an independent in the fall. With democratic nominees like Sewell who needs republicans?
Speaking of Artur Davis, he's exhibiting the learned helplessness democrats are famous for in Alabama.
With democrats like Davis who needs republicans?
Republicans and *ahem* progressive cats won't have Dr. Paul Hubbert to kick around anymore since he is stepping down as the State Party Vice Chair. He is public enemy #1 because he is an effective advocate for public schools, public school students, teachers, administrators and support staff. Dr. Joe L. Reed is public enemy#2 because he is responsible for "gerrymandering" them there black voting districts thanks to that there Voting Rights Act.
With progressives like these who needs democrats.
The political career of Bradley Byrnes is over, thanks in large part to democrats and the AEA. Yep, those so called anti corruption, anti gambling corporate candidates crashed and burned. Schnauzer I join you and Mrs. Schnauzer in your childish delight
The NAACP called on the Tea Party Gang to reject the racist elements and found themselves under attack from the mainstream media. That's right (no pun), the organization that fights racism is under attack for exposing the racist elements of the Tea Party gang at the same time the media is doing everything but ironing the white sheets, lighting torches and getting the rope for Mel Gipson. So, how come the media, which is predominately white, gets to defend the Tea Party Movement, attacking the NAACP and convicting Mel Gipson? Who made them the arbiters of racism? This is the same media who painted anti war protesters as anti American, anti military, namby, pamby, tree huggers and Cindy Sheehan as a traitor because she dared ask why her son died in Iraq.
President Obama is cautiously optimistic the oil well gusher is plugged in the Gulf of Mexico. Republicans voted lock step against extending unemployment benefits and financial reform. The Tea Party candidates crashed and burned. And republicans still think think they are going to regain control of the government in November.
Ain't that a dip?

U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, D-Birmingham, praised Robert Bentley for his victory in Tuesday's runoff election and predicted the Republican Party nominee will be tough to beat in the general election.

Districts with huge majorities of minority voters? Not good. Those are intended to actually dilute the effect of minorities at the voting booth and shouldn't be tolerated by anyone on the progressive side of the map.

So we hope you will excuse our childish delight at the thumping corporate candidates have taken at the election box recently in Alabama. The battle for honest governance is far from over--in Alabama and beyond. But we must admit to feeling a tiny bit of vindication today--and even a sense of "up yours" to those who have soiled our democracy.
