This is what we ALL are up against:

Someone this stupid and biased spent the last 28 years working on Capital Hill.

[Anti-Bubba182]

DC is whore central. The are in their own rotten reality.

It’s what one could expect from a lifetime Dem. HILL RAT!

[SMARTY]

Hmmm.... a little creepy

But, he must feel better now that he got it off his chest.

This article should be mailed to EVERY GOP Congresscritter with a note “CLEAN OUT THE STAFF”. One of the big problems we face is both parties use the same Congressional staffers. If a staffer has worked for the Dems they have NO business being hired to work for the GOP. The hysteric nonsensical Progressive rhetoric of this guy's article is proof that Dem staffers are ideological partisans of the most extreme sort.

Evil, stupid Republicans.......YAWN

It is obvious that Mike Lofgren has had a sudden infatuation with a liberal homosexual lover. Pulling a David Brock as it were. Although I agree the beltway GOP pretty much sucks, this buffoon has sucked down a whole cafeteria full of 'rat talking points.

A TEA Party purgee. Good riddance.

Congress is in low regard by a vast majority; however, the reason for my low opinion of Congress is greatly different than the reasons used by sarcasm>my esteemed colleagues</sarcasm at the Daily Kos.

Yeh, DiLorenzo’s writings sum things up pretty well...

The GOP cult of Ayn Rand is both revealing and mystifying. On the one hand, Rand's tough guy, every-man-for-himself posturing is a natural fit because it puts a philosophical gloss on the latent sociopathy so prevalent among the hard right. On the other, Rand exclaimed at every opportunity that she was a militant atheist who felt nothing but contempt for Christianity.

Apparently, the ignorance of most fundamentalist "values voters" means that GOP candidates who enthuse over Rand at the same time they thump their Bibles never have to explain this stark contradiction. And I imagine a Democratic officeholder would have a harder time explaining why he named his offspring "Marx" than a GOP incumbent would in rationalizing naming his kid "Rand."

I'll bet this RINO never read AS. The fact that Rand was an atheist matters not to me. It's a great novel with a compelling plot. If someone doesn't like AS, that's their choice...and Rand was all about an individual rights.

He wouldn't last one round with Dagny Taggart.

The mutterings of this fellow further underscores the need to get rid of (dare I say "take out"? lol) RINOs and their minions.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

So who has he specifically been working for over the past 28 years, and who were his pals? Get the names, and you get the RINOs.

[Buckeye McFrog]

and this is pretty mild compared to what’s usually on this lefty website

Were they 28 business years?

Truthout??? isn’t this the same site that reported Karl Rove was given 24 hour to settle personal matters as he was going to be arrested in Plamegate???

“Deputy Managing Editor/Investigative Reporter: Jason Leopold”

http://www.truth-out.org/about

Jason Leopold- isn’t he the self admitted psychotic, drug addict who wrote the story about Rove being arrested in the Plamegate affair???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Leopold

[WayneS]

Well, THAT’S about ten minutes of my life I can never get back...

Wow, I didn’t realize they made that much.

I am confused though, I don’t understand FY 2011 subtotal. Can somebody help my fool self out and explain? Thanks

This is what 28 years of “public service” will do to a human brain. The debt ceiling standoff was a heroic moment in American political life. A few still responsive members of congress found enough spine to finally say “no mas” and we came close to shutting down the debt-mill our government has become.

We live in a time when people politically similar to James Madison are called radical extremists. Franklin’s caution about “...if you can keep it” has been answered. The republic has been lost.

[jnsun]

Anyone suspect "Mike Lofgren" might have gotten paid to write this?

[koraz]

There is no way this guy was a republican event a rino. While I didn't read this all carefully, I don't see where he even claimed to be. He says, “impelled me to end a nearly 30-year career as a professional staff member on Capitol Hill.” He seems very careful to mask his true party but based on the gist of the article I find it hard to believe that he ever was a republican.
