Biden: The Latest Insult
Joe Biden? Joe (D-MBNA) Biden? The architect of the bankruptcy "reform?"More than anyone, I'd expect John Marshall to be outraged by this. During the bankruptcy reform debate, TPM tried to rally the opposition, the same way it rallied opposition to...more »

According to TPM, Eli Pariser was meant to post here to discuss MoveOn.org's 10th year and its past and future impacts on the progressive movement. Since the debate this week was largely about whether MoveOn is a genuine movement that...more »

John McCain Limerick Thread!
Jason Everett Miller proved that where FISA divides us, poetry can unite us in the first ever TPMCafe haiku thread. Now, at the risk of starting a trend that will make Time's Swampland label all Democrats a bunch of latte-drinking...more »

The New Yorker and The Height of Elitism
The discussion about The New Yorker’s Obama cover has revealed a lot of prejudices about people that seem to be shared by a good portion of the TPM commentariat community.There are some criticisms of the cover that I disagree with...more »

Everyone at TPM should donate money to John McCain if he does what Joe Klein is speculating about here and makes Jeb Bush his running mate.It would be a delightful disaster. John, are you listening? If you agree to take...more »

FISA Round Two: Senate Time!
I just got off the phone with a nice representative in Senator Clinton's office. She confirms that Senator Clinton opposes the current FISA bill and any retoractive immunity for telecoms. I asked if she would appear in the Senate to...more »

Obama and Biden aren't on your Senate A list? You should explain why. There opposition to the continued war in Iraq should be enough to earn them excelling grades.
Also, you really should put the person's party on your list. I'll be more ready to listen to you when you come out and state the obvious -- the Democrats support the troops. It's time for the troops to start supporting Democrats.

"George W. Bush went out of his way after 9/11 to make sure Americans did not take out their fury on random Muslims. He attended mosque (the first President to do so) and emphasized that the dark skinned or turbaned folks in our midst were not the enemy."
Then he directed the federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies to racially profile Muslims who were thrown into jail without legal recourse...
I see the distinction you want to draw MJ, but Bush is as "us vs. them" as anyone out there. If anything, McCain is a malignant mutation of the flat out evil that Bush represents.

It wasn't really corruption during the Clinton years. It was just Third Way politics that a lot of us disagree with. What we're dealing with now from the right is real corruption.

Uh, yes, progressives will apply the same standards to an Obama administration that we apply everywhere else. Read the posts around here, we'll likely be tougher on Obama than on somebody we don't expect anything good from like Bush or McCain. We were tough on him about FISA, we've been tough on him about faith base initiatives, we're tough on him on ethanol. We're so tough on him that a lot of people worry that we're too tough on him.
Yes, anyone can be corrupt but they own the current corruption and we have to deal with that. We're really good at eating our own, so don't worry about it.

Oh, come on Opus, you know what's wrong with this... Annenberg made a mistake and gave money to a terrorist so that he could reform the education system. From 1995-1999, Obama was chairman of the board.
Then, in 2001, 9/11 happened.
What, do I have to draw you a picture?
