That is the new meme emerging following the two gubernatorial losses last night for Democrats. I seemed to have missed it where Obama was on the ballot, but that’s what all the talking heads want us to think. Let’s take a look at Creigh Deeds and the Virginia race. Actually have a look at Think […]
When there is a ton of finger pointing at the Democrats going on, it can only mean one thing – ELECTION DAY! Earlier today, the Hoffman campaign and conservative bloggers threw a fit over a very nefarious accusation: That somebody had slashed the tire of a Hoffman poll-watcher’s pickup truck. “Hoffman Poll Watcher Has Tires […]
I mean look at this news: Sen. Joe Lieberman Says He’ll Back Republicans in 2010 Congressional Races Now I’m sure that the Democrats will instantly hold a meeting today and kick Lieberman out of the caucus. As matter of fact I am so abso-fuckin-lutley sure of it that I am going to turn off the […]
That Jonathon Capehart was just on Morning Meeting and saying how the Democrats form circling fire squads because they go after their own members who disagree with them, unlike Republicans. Yeah that’s why Arlen Specter is still a Republican and Lindsey Graham is so loved by the GOP base, right along with Olympia Snowe and […]
There has been a lot of talk about the new WaPo/ABC poll that finds 57% of the respondents want the public option, with 51% saying go for it without Republican support.

They are breathing […]

Republicans ran the Senate as if they owned the place, even when enjoying razor-thin majorities. Yet when Democrats took the chamber, the first thing Harry Reid did was complain that he couldn’t […]
There is a lot of buzz about the new GOP website today. Most notably is the fact that the site is incomplete. Ben Smith points out that the “future leaders” page is still blank. While there is a certain level of snark to this, being in the web development field myself I can’t really point […]
What does this say? House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) are voting against the House/Senate fiscal year 2010 defense authorization bill — because it contains hate crimes provisions designed to protect gays and lesbians. Boehner and Pence are putting their own bigotry against the needs of our […]
Gallup’s latest polling of congressional approval ratings have them at 21%, down 10% from last month. This marks a pretty significant dive on the downward trend that has been occurring since March of this year. The biggest drop in support has come from Democrats. Last month 54% of Democrats approved of how Congress was doing […]
