Just like we went through here in Ohio last year, now our neighbor to the south kicks out their corrupt Republican Governor: Democrat Steve Beshear harnessed voter frustration over ethics and Gov. Ernie Fletcher’s 2005 pardons of his aides to unseat the Republican incumbent. Beshear, a former lieutenant governor and attorney general, also completed an […]
Gingrich won’t run for President: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Saturday decided against running for president in 2008 after determining he could not legally explore a bid and remain head of his tax-exempt political organization. Gingrich, 64, said the change of heart, which came as aides readied the NewtNow.org Web site and prepared to […]
Old Turdblossom is leaving the White House: Karl Rove, the political adviser who masterminded President George W. Bush’s two winning presidential campaigns and secured his own place in history as a political strategist with extraordinary influence within the White House, is resigning, the White House confirmed today. In an interview published this morning in The […]
This is politics at it’s worse.

Military rules clearly state that the military is not to be used for […]
This has to hurt: In 1999, Matthew Dowd became a symbol of George W. Bush’s early success at positioning himself as a Republican with Democratic appeal. A top strategist for the Texas Democrats who was disappointed by the Bill Clinton years, Mr. Dowd was impressed by the pledge of Mr. Bush, then governor of Texas, […]
Yeah right! I am talking about old Gonzo, who has now landed in even more hot water: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales approved plans to fire several U.S. attorneys in a November meeting, according to documents released Friday that contradict earlier claims that he was not closely involved in the dismissals. The Nov. 27 meeting, in […]
I am really beginning to think that the Foley scandal is the GOPs campaign tactic. They want to keep the story out front. Here is my reasoning for this. 1.
