Radosh thinks it's a combination:
Recall the article appearing a few weeks ago, noting that the Democratic Party has decided to write off the votes of the white working-class in the 2012 election, which it has judged is going to overwhelmingly go to the Republicans. Instead, it has decided to try and increase the vote of the suburban upper-middle class and coastal elites, as well as the vote of college students who had been so enthusiastic about Obama in 2008. Without such an increase to make up for the loss of working-class votes (once a Democratic mainstay), the Democratic policy wonks believe Obama will lose.
...
...The actor has not one word about the wide breadth of support for the pipeline, including from the AFL-CIO unions that support Obama on almost everything else. But Redford is precisely the kind of Obama supporter whose votes the administration is courting and that they deem as essential for a 2012 victory at the polls.
So if the unions supported the pipeline, as they did, why are they so silent now that the president has turned against a proposal they backed? The answer is that I suspect a private deal was made last week: The unions would downgrade their disappointment at the veto of Keystone XL, in return for the president unconstitutionally using his powers to override the Constitution and put in pro-labor recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the same board that tried to penalize Boeing for wanting to move its new facility to South Carolina from the state of Washington.
I think he's leaving out that Obama WANTS energy to cost as much as possible, which feeds right in with the other points. Either way, it means Obama's willing to screw the whole country to buy votes.
Which makes this the "Get Obama out of office WHOEVER we have to vote for" election, indeed.
Yeah, if Palin can be blamed for the AZ shooting, then we can damn well blame De Palma for these murders.
P.S. As the mighty Iowahawk puts it: “Wealthy donors to fete President Downgrade from skyboxes of taxpayer-built stadium named for bailed-out bank… When President Classy McWarfare gives his acceptance speech at the Bailout Bowl, this time he can use REAL Greek columns. #nomorestyrofoam”

On his Thursday show, Limbaugh asked that question and said that it was appropriate to do so since the media is no longer just reporting, but passing judgment as well.
“That’s another thing, this always gets me — are journalists monogamous?” Limbaugh asked. “Are journalists faithful? Are they as clean and pure as the wind-driven snow? This is what has always fascinated me. These people — the sportswriter guys, the news media guys — they all get to sit in judgment as though they live perfect lives. And then when you try to turn the focus on them, ‘Oh no, no, no, no, no. I’m just a reporter. It doesn’t matter.’ It certainly does because you’re not reporting. You’re passing judgment.”
Limbaugh suggested an investigation into ABC News’ Brian Ross, the reporter who interviewed Marianne Gingrich for the segment that is set to air tonight.
Be interesting, wouldn't it? "Well, Mr./Ms. Journalist, while you're bitching about 'X', guess what we found in your past? And your current involvement?"
Over at Tam's, she reminded me of this
which song has to annoy the hell out of a lot of people.
Ancient history, very ancient. More complicated the more it's looked at.
About that lard post: I remember both grandmas having a can on the stove marked 'Grease'. The one I mostly remember was on Dad's mom's stove, had a strainer in the top to get the big bits out of the bacon grease, which went into all kinds of things
Yeah, we're winning. So don't stop.
Yeah, let's all pretend it's only 'gun violence' that's bad...
Bet you that if Mr. Schaefer had pulled a pistol and defended himself, Nutter and the VPC clowns would be counting him as a violent, dangerous gun owner who should be locked up.
Speaking of idiot politicians/lawyers/gun bigots,
I just realized that, should I attempt to clean a firearm in an attempt to make it more reliable, some lawyer might nail me to the wall for ‘modifying’ my gun, making it more deadly.
It could happen dammit!
Wouldn't surprise me.
