It’s funny that even with the entire Blago debacle going on in Illinois and Republicans trying to paint Democrats in the state as the epitome of corruption, the people still want Democrats to lead them: Democratic Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley claimed victory tonight in the 5th District race to replace Rahm Emanuel in Congress.

A new PEW Research poll is out showing that President Obama is more “polarizing” than any other President. The poll finds that Obama has very high approval from Democrats, 88 percent, and very low approval from Republicans, 27 percent. The 61-point partisan gap eclipses George W. Bush’s 51-point gap in his first year, and that […]
“A sad day for Alaska yesterday when he was found guilty of seven felonies. But — and now he needs to do the right thing, and the right thing is, as he’s proclaiming his innocence and proclaiming, too, that he will go through the appellate process, OK, then he needs to step aside and allow […]
That’s the only way to describe Eric Cantor, who is on tape saying that Democrats are “overreacting” to the economic crisis, while praising Rush Limbaugh.

The Obama administration, however, has […]
The car wreck called Bachmann is back, and this time she is crazier than ever. I guess since Congress and the media didn’t take up her McCarthyite investigations into Democrats, she now has to try and provoke an actual revolution. I’m actually kind of glad Bachmann won last year. Its nice having her around to […]
I posted about it last night. It’s where Republican Eric Cantor tried to say that the Democrats voted to let AIG keep their bonuses. Well now that the actual bill is coming up today, the one that gets back the bonuses and prevents this from happening again, Cantor isn’t sure if he will support it […]
