The Republican Party is on life support and needs serious help. Sure Democrats have reason to celebrate this week, but the left should be really concerned about what might happen if the GOP continues down their current path of self-annihilation. This is something I have been talking about for years now and Nicholas Kristof hits […]
Even though the Republicans held on to the House this week, it doesn’t appear that it is the will of the voters: While not all ballots have been counted, Democrats hold an edge over Republicans in overall votes.

Harry Reid is vowing to take on something that many of us have asked for – filibuster reform: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pledged on Wednesday to change the rules of the Senate so that the minority party has fewer tools to obstruct legislative business. In his first post-election press conference, the Nevada Democrat […]

This is one of the top stories Drudge is pushing right now: Local Republicans went to court to have a judge order a mural of President Obama covered up at the Ben Franklin Elementary School polling place in the Northeast.
