Not quite sure why former President Carter (whom I respect), is picking a fight with Ted Kennedy NOW!?! But okaaay.AP: Jimmy Carter: Ted Kennedy Cost America National Health Insurance Decades AgoCarter revisited the old spat in an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" to be aired Sunday. "The fact is that we would have had comprehensive health care now, had it not been for Ted Kennedy's deliberately blocking the legislation that I proposed," Carter said in the interview. "It was his fault. Ted Kennedy killed the bill."Read: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/16/jimmy-carter-ted-kennedy-health-insurance_n_720356.html#http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/16/jimmy-ca… />Andrew. Sullivan on Pat Buchanan and Glenn GreenwaldA right-left convergence: "To the Republican establishment, tea party people are field hands. Their labors are to be recognized and rewarded, but they are to stay off the porch and not presume to sit at the master’s table.”Buchanan: The War on Christine O’DonnellRead: <a href="http://www.amconmag.com/blog/2010/09/16/the-war-on-christine-odonnell/http://www.amconmag.com/blog/2010/09/16/the-war-o… />Greenwald: “The misguided reaction to Tea Party candidates”Read; <a href="http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/09/16/tea_partyhttp://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald… />H/T: The Daily DishWhy IS the GOP establishment so Uncomfortable with Tea Partiers candidates winning? They’ve been the GOPs most loyal supporters FOR DECADES. They’re “family.” …So why not let Tea-Partiers have the reins now? H*ll, it’s not like We have a political system OR government that’s Sane, Civil, Honest or Effective (shrugging my shoulders).And btw: Dems would be wise to NOT count that Senate seat in Delaware as “a given.” O’Donnell is a “piece-of-work” to put it mildly. But she knocked off a 30 yr GOP veteran. HER voters are extremely motivated. Liberal/progressive voters ARE NOT.I say: Absent a viable Third Party and Term Limits, let the “base” of BOTH parties take over. Maybe then, something meaning will ACTUALLY get done to get this country outta the ditch and back on track. HAPPY TGIF!
I'm still mad from the news yesterday that the lady who said a black woman threw acid in her face, really did it herself!The media played her sob story over and over. Everybody bought into it and felt sorry for her. Now we know the lady injured herself. But why did she have to make sure to blame somebody black? That's just wrong.
