I literally went to Drudge for the first time in months if not years

He broke one big story, Monica, which he stole from Newsweek while they were vetting it...


Oh, Scott Walker is the flavor of the month and John Ellis Bush is Satan.


Oh, here's a hint; want to know who is least likely to be the next president, go to Drudge and Free Republic and see who they like the most. They are great negative indicators.

1. What you say is normally true,

because they're a bunch of crazed ideologues, and they always go for the crazed-ideologue fundie Tea Party candidates--exactly the kind of candidate the Big Money people don't want because they can't trust the loonies to stay in line once in office. The Big Money candidate always mysteriously trumps the wingnut candidates.

That said, the problem with Walker is that he is actually a Big Money candidate in wingnut clothing. All of his so-called flip-flops were on issues that weren't popular in WI, and were in the conservative direction, aimed at the national wingnut audience. His Right-To-Work ambush in WI was likewise intended for a national audience.

2. In 012 Free Republic was abuzz with rumors that the Dems were behind the Herman Cain revelations...

In 012 Free Republic was abuzz with rumors that the Dems were behind the Herman Cain revelations as if he wasn't the candidate we would have most preferred to face.

They hate the "smart" Bush and Rubio because they don't share their xenophobic fervor. They are actually as xenophobic as stormfront but they lack the intellectual heft of those haters. They hate but they know their subject so well it's scary.

3. I've never done that. nt

4. Me either. n/t

5. For some people it's 6 of one thing, half-dozen of the other,

all viable politicians being corporatist stooges playing the game of war profiteers and banking privateers. So it becomes difficult for them to discuss and debate actual liberal/progressive Dem issues except to distinguish from the extreme religious fundamentalism promoted by the corporatist war mongers who fund the astro-turf "tea party" movement.

It's a bad situation, PowerToThePeople, bad.

What's required isn't just two, Warren and Sanders, pretty much isolated and vulnerable. What's required is widespread party support at the top, to bolster the clear and obvious support for liberal/progressive ideas that exists among the common people of good will.

This whole situation, the coronation of another corporatist war profiteer, makes me ill.

9. I agree with your sentiments.

[AverageJoe90]

6. I'm guessing they also hated McCain & Romney, too? nt

[JI7]

7. yes, hated them both and are convinced both lost for being too liberal

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. They hated Lindsey Graham too, called him Lindsey Grahamnesty./NT

8. Are you okay? Do you need water?

[Oilwellian]

10. Why would someone...

drum up hits for Drudge, on DU? Who cares about his shit ass?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. I didn't provide a link. I wanted to see what he was up to...

As I indicated it had been a long time.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. He still wearing that fuckin' hat?

God, that guy is a dweeb.
