    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

Virginia Nutroots Gone Wild

Posted on May 21, 2008 by Riley

I just love to watch Democrat-ick infighting.

Ben Tribbett of the deceased blog “Not Larry Sabato” has up a post entitled “Governor Kaine’s Blood Drenched Hands” (get your own link) where he bashes Gov. Timmy! for endorsing Gerry Connolly for Congress this year. He then brings up Timmy!’s support in ‘04 for Joe Lieberman’s presidential campaign and the fact that Timmy! remained neutral in the ‘06 Dem senate primary between Thinskin Gump (D-WashPo) and Harris Miller. The common thread? Lieberman, Miller and Connolly are all either war proponents or profiteers!!!

Meanwhile, over at Ranting Kids, they’ve removed Timmy!’s name from their title (no more Raising Kaine, now it is just RK) and are disturbed by this endorsement. (Again, get your own link.)

Let the implosion continue!!!

UPDATE: The Right Wing Liberal is running a contest to come up with a new name for the “Blog Formerly Known As Raising Kaine.”  I either prefer “Ranting Kids” or an unpronounceable symbol like what Prince used for years, perhaps “ξ“.

    What’s even funnier is they are both counting down until Kaine departs the Gov’s mansion and makes room for Governor McDonnell.

    It’s interesting to watch the viciousness that Democrats are heaping on each other. The Democrats have been that vicious with Republicans for years, and now they are turning on themselves like angry children.

    I see were Raising Kaine has dropped the words and are now RK. Perhaps they can now become Raging Kids.

    This is great, kind of like when they all turned on Mudflap Saunders when he wrote an article critical of the webroots in the Washington Post.
