Marco Rubio Uses Images of Canada in New Campaign Ad, Is an Idiot

Skyline

Marco Rubiobot just dropped a new campaign ad called “Morning Again in America.”  The ad features a bunch of depressing pictures and sad people, lamenting how terrible things are under “this president” and his accomplice Hillary Clinton.  The first depressing scene of America, however, isn’t America at all, but our good friends up north in CANADA.  Whoops.

Feel the Burn

Bad news for Bern. That well-known right wing rag, the NY Times, quoting died in the wool conservative economists like Austan Goolsbee and Paul Krugman, says his healthcare plans will cost $30 trillion.

That’s with a “T” as in Titanic or ‘no fooking way.

The Narcissist is also mentioned.  His bullshit plans are almost as bad. $15 Trillion over 10 years. He is many things – liar, blowhard, braggart, asshole, etc. – but a conservative he is not. Maybe he will get Mexico to pay for it.

Proof the MSM is in the Tank for the Dems

It may not always be conscious, but it’s true.  The main stream media is full of biased, left leaning, democrats.  As a regular feature, and without even trying hard, I intend to bring such bias to light.  Take this LA Times article about Saturday Night’s GOP Debate (or as we on the String like to refer to it “Return to Thunderdome”).

http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/la-na-gop-south-carolina-20160215-story.html

Money quote (and third paragraph no less):

“Candidates promoted opposition to gay rights and to abortion under any circumstances and support for unfettered access to guns, all issues that please the Republican base but run counter to the views of a general election audience.”

Really?  That’s’ what you took away from the debate?  Dog-whistle much?  I must have been on a different feed.  I won’t even go into how misleading that description is.   But, the author does latter expound on the candidates positions and you will be shocked I am sure to see that the facts don’t match the flat statements at the beginning of the article.  For example, saying that the Democrats want unfettered access to abortion means that you want abortion available under any circumstances.

That’s not even the real issue though.  My take of the debate was that it was primarily focused on whether the President should be allowed to nominate a successor to Justice Scalia as a lame duck (see Pipes’ excellent post on that issue below) and whether the Iraq war was a mistake.   The first issue got about 5 words and how far do we need to go into the article for a discussion of the discussion of the Iraq war?  Other than a reference to former President George W. Bush, it’s not mentioned.

But wait, it does describe Secretary Clinton as the adult in the room though.  YHGTBSM!

This isn’t an opinion piece folks, unreal.  No wait, it’s what I expected.

 

This is YUGE!!! Scalia is Dead!

The news of Justice Scalia’s death may be the biggest political event of our lifetime.  With all due respect to Justice Scalia, his family, his brilliance and his undeniable legacy, Justice Scalia’s death at this particular time in our nation’s history may be the greatest news for liberals since McCain picked Sarah Palin as vice president, and maybe since Nixon broke a sweat in 1960.
