Santorum Won't Apologize For Wrongly Linking Casey To Al Jazeera
Click here to read the latest dumbass decision from the increasingly desperate Rick Santorum.

It's hard to believe someone this stupid is representing the American people, until you compare Santorum with others in the GOP.

2. Santorum to list endorsement from his tapeworm
Trumpets campaign boost from "insider" in Washington!

I'd like to say this is sarcasm, but anymore sarcasm just seems to be a way to get a slight jump on the desperate GOP. And the lag time is getting shorter and shorter.

3. A while back I read an account of an exchange between
a top W media adviser and either a Democratic operative or a reporter, I can't remember which. The gist of the story is that when the other fellow pointed to a blatant inaccuracy spoken by some Repub pol as an example of ineptitude, W's guy was not upset at all. He said something to the effect "yeah, but it is out there now".In other words a demonstrably false factoid was already being spread by the RW megaphone thereby shaping and distorting the political discourse.
The Establishment Democrats still act as if these guys are honorable but aggressive opponents. They are not. They are proto fascists who will do anything to retain power. The sad thing is that it has worked repeatedly. The previous example was tricky Rick's comments about WMD being discovered in Iraq. He says something totally misleading and the next poll shows a huge bump in gullible Americans being swayed by the bs. Some south Florida rag misquotes Murtha and then retracts the story. But the damage is already done because Rush and his clones have embedded it in the nation's political consciousness.
The Republicans have not just internalized the wisdom of the old saw that a lie is half way around the world before truth has laced up its shoes to catch it. They have made this cynical, anti-democratic tactic the main weapon in their political arsenal.

5. Doesn't mater if it's wrong
as long as it is "out there."

Anyone who would believe that some Arab TV station endorced Casey wouldn't be voting for Casey anyway. So all Sanscrotum did was reinforce his idiot votes.

Now what Casey should do is use that Rick being stupid clip in an ad. Should reinforce why Rickity Sanscrotum has to go.

6. You know, I hate their lack of decency/morals/ethics/honesty, but there
comes a point when I think we have to say 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'
I say Swift Boat all those rePiglican fuckers...hit 'em with a taste of their own medicine, hit 'em HARD and NEVER APOLOGIZE OR BACK DOWN.

I know it would be tough for Democrats to do this, but I think it's time.
They need to go DOWN and by any means necessary (short of violence or anything like that, obviously)

8. links for the record
al-Jazeera: http://english.aljazeera.net/HomePage
Arabic news site which offers comprehensive coverage of world affairs and developments.

This will be achieved by publishing news, articles, columns, book reviews, and letters, which must not contain any hateful or derogatory words or phrases. We are looking for opinions, analyses, and arguments that are well reasoned and well documented.

9. santorum
was wrong on WMD, but now more people think that Iraq had WMD when we went to war. How many people will wrongly assume that Casey was endorsed by Al Jazeera -- the network?

This is what you do when you are down by 10-15% You start smearing your opponent, and hope for the best.

14. The poster boy for everything that is wrong with politics
He personifies everything that is wrong with Pukes: the win-at-all-costs, screw-integrity, do-anything-to-keep-power attitude. What did I leave out? Oh, yeah: stupidity, corruption, dishonesty, say-anything, greed ... and that's just for starters.

The next Democrat who apologizes for ANYTHING needs a swift kick in the ass.
