This is a great post, but I still cringe when I see that 60% figure. The question was, “Is it the responsibility of the federal government to make sure that all Americans have health care coverage?” That is not the same thing as “Do you support single-payer healthcare?” (I’m not suggesting that you’re drawing that…

If you are mistaken for a heart surgeon and rushed into the O.R. with a patient lying prone on the table, do you (a) let them know a qualified…
WHAT THE FUCK, SHERROD BROWN? Here I was, thinking he was going to be the one elected official from Ohio who wouldn’t embarrass us this year.
I hadn’t heard her name before yesterday, but the comments she’s made about this seem incredibly petty and small-minded. I’m glad to hear she’s done some good work because my first impression of her was not good.
This is a really, really good panel & thank-you (Jezebel) for helping to host it.
Apparently 4,000 of Finland’s reindeer meet their demise in traffic accidents every year. Given the relentlessly…
Welp. Here we go. Time to find out if our democracy is really as resistant to demagoguery as we all believed.
Policy and truth DO matter, but they are part and parcel with the whole package. Obama was out there with policy and truth, and his charisma helped sell it.
He looks like he’s one bottle of whiskey and one cheeseburger away from a fatal heart attack. Quick! Somebody bring the whiskey and cheeseburger!
Man... Joseph Goebbels looks like shit.

And, of course, CRACKED nails it...
I posit that she is both fully aware of and embraces said toxicity, and intends to use it to her full advantage. That one is no victim.
Fuck her. Fuck her coming and going. She’s a fucking liar and a con artist. She’s running a three card monte on the system. And, no, I will not play because I want to keep my money and my self-esteem. Fuck this woman.
First, I am a woman. Second,
And honestly, the hatred has likely been amplified because of Obama. These “disenfranchised” voters (middle aged-senior white people) just had to reckon with two terms of “the black guy.” And now a WOMAN?!? :/
They’ve had 24 years for their hatred of her to ferment and fester. Obama was a relatively new quantity coming in, and many were afraid of seeming racist by being to harsh in the beginning. Then their rage at seeing a black man in the role of the most powerful leader in the world got the best of them. So they had to…
