Republican Found Guilty In Robocall Voter Suppression

Politics

Another example of how the Republicans try to destroy our democracy: A Baltimore jury Tuesday found Paul Schurick, former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.’s campaign manager, guilty of fraud and related charges for his role in an Election Day 2010 robocall — a decision hailed by government watchdog groups who say that for too long […]

For Claiming Their Love Of Democracy, Republican Sure Love To Screw It!

Misc

If you can’t beat them, change the system so you can! Here’s the story. The electoral college is mandated by the Constitution as the way to determine the winner of presidential elections, but it’s up to each state to decide how to apportion their electoral votes.

More Than Union Busting

Economy

Yesterday the Ohio Senate passed SB5, a bill to strip public employees of their basic right to collectively bargain. This was after some very dirty tricks by the Senate GOP, including booting two GOP members off the committee because they opposed the bill.

Misc

For years we heard people talking about how brilliant Rove was when it came to politics. I always disagreed with that. What Rove is good at is dirty tricks, spinning and lying.

Those Dirty Republicans

Misc

Seems like the Republicans still love their dirty tricks. From Matt Stoller: Terry Nelson, an unindicted co-conspirator in the TRMPAC Tom Delay scandal, and the boss of Jim Tobin, the convicted felon in the NH phone-jamming case, is the head of opposition research for the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. So it’s not a surprise that […]

Can We Have Hearings About The Phone Jamming?

Misc

Bloomberg is reporting that the investigation into the phone jamming scandal is now widening: To Republicans, the New Hampshire phone-jamming incident is an isolated case of political dirty tricks that took place more than three years ago. To Democrats, it’s a scandal with echoes of Watergate that may reach all the way to the White […]
