Didn’t expect this: Former White House political adviser Karl Rove and counsel Harriet Miers have agreed to face questions from Congress about allegations of improper political influence in the Justice Department, the House Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday. Both will give depositions to investigators from the committee, and claims of privilege will be “significantly limited,” according […]
Who ever thought the head of the RNC would be such a rogue? (audio only) Think Progress points this out: It’s ironic that Steele insisted he was “not backing down,” because directly following Steele’s original statement regarding primary challenges, the RNC walked back his statement in a message to Politico’s Ben Smith, insisting it “has […]
Check out this latest Rasmussen headline: Just 11% of Republicans Say Limbaugh Is Their Party’s Leader Now check out the wording: “he says jump and they say how high”. What poll in history can you remember phrasing a question like that, let alone flat out calling him the “leader of the party”. When you look […]
The Conservative/Rush Limbaugh movement basis their foundation upon smaller government. Well according to a new NBC/WSJ poll, that isn’t the view of a majority of the public (link – pdf): Also this poll has Obama’s approval continuing to rise. Enjoying that rise with Obama is Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party. Not enjoying […]

Such cute fuckers. Take Robert Stacy McCain. Here’s a main that goes out of his way to avoid the work fuck: Hell, no! Why the f— should I lay off a reporter when that g–d— piece of s— David Brooks is collecting $300,000 a year to produce two columns of nothingness a week? You can […]
Limbaugh proves in an email exchange with Greg Sergeant that he is one very close minded individual. He won’t even hypothesis if Obama’s economic policies will work – instead insisting that they will fail. That kind of thinking is what the Republican party is holding up as their mantra now. They bow to it and […]
Of course that isn’t the headline Rasmussen went with from this poll. Instead they chose to go with this: 49% Say Obama Should Delay Health Care Reform Until Economy Is Better So take a number the right will love and use that, instead of the truly astonishing number that says over 3/4 of this country […]
Why don’t the conservatives embrace John McCain? I thought the very base of the conservative movement was fiscal conservatism. Well John McCain went off yesterday about the recent earmarks, like the $250 million David Vitter won, or the $114 Richard Shelby won, or even the $86 million Kit Bond won, but conservatives will rush to […]
