Everybody loves Mike. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/06/democrats_are_winning_except_a.html
. "A substantial part of the Democratic Party, some of its politicians and many of its loudest supporters do not want America to succeed in Iraq." Few things are as predictable as the right wing game plan; make anonymous accusations aimed generally, repeat, even though your strategy has pretty much deconstructed just this morning: Thank you for posting this gwayneco, I couldn't think of a better example of the kind of thing Krugman was apparently referring to. It even uses the pejorative "some", lol. BTW, I don't understand why a Republican eking out a victory in a rich, white, conservative suburban district is a sign of disaster for the democrats; that would be like Republicans nearly capturing a seat in San Francisco.
My take is that I agree with Barone, especially the bolded parts. I just noticed that Nancy Pelosi has apparently pledged to kick fellow Dem Jane Harman off the House Intel Comm in favor of Alcie Hastings. Harman is aDem of substance, while Hastings is corrupt.
So, you think that democrats hate america and are traitors, etc etc. Thanks for the update. You know, you frequently hear Republicans bashing the democrats for having no strategy or message other than pessimism/hating america blah blah - what is their message then? that the democrats don't have one? The last message the Republicans delivered was principled stand agaisnt homos getting married last week. Like that's better?
i think that there definitely are "some" people on the left that "hate" America. Heck - I know some people that fit that bill. It is a very tiny "some" though. I'm sure there some loyal "conservatives" that the Republican party is not too proud of too. It is the job of us good Republicans to make sure that that tiny "some" gets as much limelight as possible however. One - maybe create a divide in the Democrat party between moderates and extremists. Two and more importantly - to marginalize the Democratic party in voters' perceptions.
This is really funny when you consider that the reason Bilbray won was not because of democrat's stance against the war, but a republican's stance on immigration (which happens to be against what Bush wants). nice try gweenie! LOL!!
He's the real deal of redundant talking heads, slavishly and clumsily executing the party line and passing it off as commentary. While Krugman sometimes does the same, at least he had a fairly distinguished career to fall back on outside of the shout-ocracy. That's why it amazes me when professional shills attack him; it's like, look in the mirror, fools. Oh yes, and he pwned the sh-t out of Barone without even knowing it, that's a fact; winning at their own game.
Really? His resume says career pundit. He's a regular on the Mclaughlin Group. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Barone_(pundit) How is he the real deal again?
FOXNEWS.COM HOME > BIO Michael Barone Sunday, June 13, 2004 Michael Barone joined FOX News Channel as a political contributor in 1998. From 1989 to 1996 and again from 1998 to the present, he has also been a senior writer for U.S. News & World Report. From 1996 to 1998, Barone was a senior staff editor at Readers Digest and a member of the editorial page staff for the Washington Post. Before joining the Washington Post in 1981, Barone served as vice president of the Peter D. Hart Research Associates. He is the principal co-author of The Almanac of American Politics and the author of Our Country: The Shaping of America from Roosevelt to Reagan. Barone has also written for many major market publications, including The Economist, The New York Times, The Detroit Press, American Enterprise and The Daily Telegraph of London. He graduated from Harvard University in 1966 and Yale Law School in 1969. _____________________________________________________________ Columnist Biography: Paul Krugman Paul Krugman joined The New York Times in 1999 as a columnist on the Op-Ed Page and continues as professor of Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University. Mr. Krugman received his B.A. from Yale University in 1974 and his Ph.D. from MIT in 1977. He has taught at Yale, MIT and Stanford. At MIT he became the Ford International Professor of Economics. Mr. Krugman is the author or editor of 20 books and more than 200 papers in professional journals and edited volumes. His professional reputation rests largely on work in international trade and finance; he is one of the founders of the "new trade theory," a major rethinking of the theory of international trade. In recognition of that work, in 1991 the American Economic Association awarded him its John Bates Clark medal, a prize given every two years to "that economist under forty who is adjudged to have made a significant contribution to economic knowledge." Mr. Krugman's current academic research is focused on economic and currency crises. At the same time, Mr. Krugman has written extensively for a broader public audience. Some of his recent articles on economic issues, originally published in Foreign Affairs, Harvard Business Review, Scientific American and other journals, are reprinted in Pop Internationalism and The Accidental Theorist. ___________________________________________________________ So, you claim that the opinion of a career writer with a law degree somehow trumps the distinguished career of a man who has been working in the field of economics for over thirty years? You are seriously deluded.
Krugman is just a left-wing bomb thrower who happened to work for Bill Clinton. Being a regular on McGlaughlin is makes him bad?
