Check out this headline from the AP: So what is that? Could it be troop cuts or defunding the war? NO! This article is about the Republicans filibustering Jim Webb’s amendment to give the troops as much time home as they are at war. Anti-war? Fuck you AP – this was a pro-troop bill. It […]
Yup – some notable voices in the GOP appear to be upset at the front-runners for blowing off black and Latino voices: “We sound like we don’t want immigration; we sound like we don’t want black people to vote for us,” said former congressman Jack Kemp (N.Y.), who was the GOP vice presidential nominee in […]
It’s amazing how much the wingnuts hate our country, and it’s basic freedoms. When a student gets tasered for asking a simple question at a political rally, or founding principal of free speech is in great peril. Take the popular wingnut Ace of Spades. He is quick to point out that this action happened because […]
I guess not: cloture vote in the Senate just moments ago on whether or not D.C. residents will get congressional representation ended up with 57 Ayes and 42 Nos, meaning Democrats and moderate Republicans weren’t able to find the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster organized by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The citizens […]
And they don’t care. That is obvious considering they won’t attend debates held by black or Hispanic moderators. Cornell West (who I am a big fan of) has this to say about the current GOP dilemma: The GOP debate in Baltimore at Morgan State University, led and moderated by Tavis Smiley, and currently being snubbed […]
This time in demographics. On CNN Bush had 454,000 viewers, while the Democratic response had 507,000. On Fox (of all places), Bush had 745,000 as compared to 813,000 viewers for the Democrats. MSNBC was the only channel in which Bush did better (455,000 to 446,000). Sounds like America is turning off Bush more and more.
I added a new feature to the site today. It is in the far right sidebar and it allows you to search for your representative, as well as media outlets in your area and view current issues in Congress. The widget is powered by Congress.org and will hopefully provide an easier means of finding out […]
Looks like Rudy may be breaking Pentagon rules by using Petraeus’ image in his ads: Images of Gen. David Petraeus appeared in an ad the Giuliani campaign began running yesterday attacking Hillary Clinton. The Pentagon says the use of the Petraeus images was done without Petraeus’ consent. Military personnel are barred by Pentagon regulations from […]
Sounds more and more like it might just be talk. A lot of the reduction is happening because the administration has no option. Troops will have served their maximum required time by law, and Bush knows he can’t get that extended. As matter of fact, Jim Webb is still pushing his plan to get troops […]
May you spend an eternity burning in hell. I say this because of the disgust I have for a person who can so easily diminish the sacrifices made by so many military families and soldiers for this war in Iraq. To consider the 3,700+ lives lost in Iraq as a “small price” is unconscionable. The […]
