It’s not just that they shoved the Keystone XL bill through as fast as possible. It’s not that they voted, once again, to strip millions of Americans of their health care, knowing it wouldn’t pass Obama’s veto but wanting to send a “message” that, well, that they don’t give a damn about you or your kids, and don’t care who knows it.
Everyone saw that s***-storm coming a mile away. The GOP agenda is nothing if not openly spiteful and shamelessly hostile toward anything that is not white, wealthy and male.
The current mood is far more sinister – and yet somehow also more infantile – than that. Can you feel it? That sour wind of mistrust, suspicion, cultural poison? It’s difficult to miss:
Women shoved out of power positions
As the NYT points out, when Democrats controlled the Senate, there were a record nine women chairing various powerful committees. There are now two.
Ironically, while there are now a record number of women in congress (over 100 for the first time in history), more than two-thirds of them are, naturally, Democrats. Women are a bizarre fit in the GOP for all sorts of obvious reasons, but having them in positions of real committee power? Well, that’s clearly a man’s job, honey. These committees make big, important decisions. Sure women are nice to look at and some are even sort of smart and helpful, but when it comes to real authority, they really should quiet down so the men can hear themselves hiss....

I note that lefty pillow biters have studiously ignored the Obamaites for months.
This column and Gene Robinson’s eternally-recycled ‘GOP bad’ people’ boilerplate are comspicuous only for what they constantly avoid.
My eyes are rolling like the wheels in a one-armed bandit. Sheesh...
Mark crawled out from under a rock. What a piece of trash.
Wow. He/It made sure to use as many superlatives as possible, like an adolescent who discovered a thesaurus.
Even stuck the tried and tired old “Still the party of stupid” routine.
Yawn, it gets so old.
Even got in the obligatory “simpletons”.

Oh, and the childish intellect just continues:
Smart Republicans don’t have a prayer(I was given the impression that there are no “smart” republicans)
Let’s be fair: it’s very possible, as Michael Tomasky points out in the Salon article linked above, that the Right could actually have, among its Obama-hating/nose-picking ranks, a rather brilliant politician, deft and sensible, someone with a (relatively) articulate grasp of the issues, who respects science, supports immigration reform, understands the disastrous effects of trying to overturn Obamacare but who still brings smart, reasonable, fiscally conservative ideas to the table.
And your side is fiscally responsible? 6 years, you went without passing a budget and merely deemed it had been passed but, with a baseline of nearly a trillion dollars added and who knows where that money goes, because it sure didn’t put shovels in the ground to fix our roads and infrastructure.

The disgraceful Supreme Court??????
Really? So far they ruled against almost every suit brought against this administration for a lack of standing.
Obamacare was ruled on and upheld for a reason that no one even argued.
Yeah, Chief Justice Roberts decided to steer the argument and ruling by saying that Obamacare was a tax.
Funny, because it looks more like revenue for insurance companies.
This dude’s writing is a joke and best read by 5th graders.
This insufferably demented dweeb is back?
Roomy
Lest one forget, the author also wrote an article titled “Is Obama an Enlightened Being?”
“Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment..”

Are you bitter that you are white, wealthy and "male", yet Republicans still don't like you?
If he had a brain cell... it would be lonely. He could rent out his head since it is vacant.
"Morford" signs can still be seen at the entrances of some British alehouses warning patrons that the floor might be slippery.
You gotta love the SF Chronicle’s Jobs-for-Otherwise-Homeless-Morons program.
He’s a gay socialist...living in his head? I don’t even want to think about it.
I think it's just a bit of Primal Scream Therapy. Devoid of logic or common sense but I think it helps for him to write about it. I'm sure he'll eventually recover.
What an idiotic article!
No one’s healthcare was stripped!
No hospital can refuse emergency healthcare!
Only subsidized health INSURANCE was stripped in the bill.
Most people on Obamacare with subsidized policies can’t afford the the deductibles.
