The blame game in the wake of the hurricane is in full swing. We are starting to witness the victims of partisanship in the images of floating bodies around Louisiana. It is the most dreadful price to pay for political bickering. I am a Democrat, and I do hold Louisiana Governor Blanco responsible for not […]

Whenever you see Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman giving an interview, you can be certain of one thing. At some point he will work in a statement that the Democrats have no vision. This is no shock from a product of the smearster himself – Karl Rove. Today in a Senate committee hearing, Senator […]

Seems since the Washington Post came out with a front page article today verifying that Valerie Plame’s identity was indeed being kept secret, the RNC is going to have to review and possibly change their first talking point about the entire situation.
