A Low-Information Voter’s Guide to Politics

The People’s Cube

Are you typically lost when co-workers discuss current events around the water cooler? Do you have trouble figuring out the national debt or who that Ben Ghazi dude is, but you know exactly what’s on Britney Spears’ grocery list?

If you think you only deserve fun answers to all life’s questions… you’re right! This primer will help you look smart and morally superior in any political discussion. Just memorize these big words, explained in easy terms you already know from TMZ and The Daily Show:

BIASED: If you have a weird friend who goes to church and her parents are still married, that’s what they are.

ELECTIONS: These are like the Teen Choice Awards: the coolest and most popular wins. Democrats always win because they are cool and popular. Republicans are more like your weird friend’s parents.

DEMOCRATS: They are like Javier Bardem from that movie No Country For Old Men: super friendly, cool hair, quick with a joke, only wants what’s best for you and completely reasonable and rational if you disagree.

A Good Monday Morning

Deus Salva Noster Republic!!!

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."  — Cicero, 106 BC-43 BC

 
These words ring as true today as they did 2000 years ago.

Woodward Isn’t Alone

Moonbattery

"Bob Woodward isn’t the only liberal to receive threats from an increasingly hysterical White House recently. Some are even going public.

Democrat hack Lanny Davis, best known for defending Bill Clinton’s inexcusable behavior night after night during the Lewinsky debacle, evidently needs to be kept in line:

"A day after Woodward’s claim that a senior White House official had told him he would “regret” writing a column criticizing President Obama’s stance on the sequester, Lanny Davis, a longtime close advisor to President Bill Clinton, told WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall Thursday he had received similar threats for newspaper columns he had written about Obama in the Washington Times.

Davis told WMAL that his editor, John Solomon, “received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn’t like some of my columns, even though I’m a supporter of Obama. I couldn’t imagine why this call was made.” Davis says the Obama aide told Solomon, “that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials.”

White House Threatens Bob Woodward

Talk Straight

Legendary liberal reporter Bob Woodward (of Watergate fame) ruffled a few feathers at the White House this week as he continued to point out the fact that the sequester was President Obama’s own proposal that originated in the White House, even as Obama as spent the week blaming Republicans.

Today, the White House actually threatened Woodward for opposing the President.

from Business Insider :

Bob Woodward said this evening on CNN that a “very senior person” at the White House warned him in an email that he would “regret doing this,” the same day he has continued to slam President Barack Obama over the looming forced cuts known as the sequester.

CNN host Wolf Blitzer said that the network invited a White House official to debate Woodward on-air, but the White House declined.

“I think they’re confused,” Woodward said of the White House’s pushback on his reporting.

Early yesterday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Woodward ripped into Obama in what has become an ongoing feud between the veteran Washington Post journalist and the White House. Woodward said Obama was showing a “kind of madness I haven’t seen in a long time” for a decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of budget concerns.

Read the Rest

Woodward is enough of a real reporter not to back down to White House Pressure. He faced Nixon’s White House machine and now he’s facing the same pressure from the Obama administration.

Woodward is actually sympathetic to Obama’s policies, but he’s not been afraid to point out that the White House has been lying about the sequester from the start.

Analyst Befuddled why her health insurance premium just went up.

Poor Richard's News

Liberal political analyst for ABC and CNN Donna Brazile tweeted with much frustration this morning that her health insurance premium went up....Naturally, it didn’t take conservatives long to explain it to her: 

I can’t help but find it hilarious that liberals got exactly what they asked for and are now mystified by the results.
