Rep. Todd Akins jokes and draws laugh about lawmakers almost being “lynched” at town hall meetings to discuss healthcare reform The fact that the GOP has to resort to such violence and vile tactics speaks volumes to their lack of a valid argument against reform. Everyone engaging in this activity should be put under immediate […]
The harassment Democratic members of Congress are receiving while trying to explain healthcare now appears to be a well orchestrated move by right wing groups. Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks, two right wing lobbying groups that brought us such hits as the “tea parties” has sent out a memo to supporters which gives pointers such […]
I can’t say I am sad to see my one Senator leave office, but I do like how he decided to unleash on the southern Republicans: The GOP’s biggest problem? “We got too many Jim DeMints (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburns (R-Ok.). It’s the southerners. They get on TV and go ‘errrr, errrrr.’ People hear them […]
I just love my local politics, especially from the Republican side of things. There is always some new controversy coming up. The latest involves the county chair: Butler County Republican Party Chairman Tom Ellis is being sued by his own brother for allegedly defrauding him and his mother for more than $500,000, court records show.

Drudge is pushing this right wing rumor that President Obama was checking out some 16 year olds ass while at the G8: Oh and here’s the really bad part. That “Second Stimulus Package” is a joke referring to the picture that links to the picture on Yahoo. Even 6 out of 7 of Drudge’s top […]
There are a couple strong theories behind Palin’s resignation right now. One is that she got fed up with the media attention and the other is that she is being indicted. I want to focus on the first. Let’s go with that first reason. If Palin thinks the media spotlight is too bright now, then […]
I’m not a religious person, but I got a funny feeling this is a pretty major sin: When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed […]
Limbaugh just loves showing his racist beliefs: In Venezuela, we had a soul shake, or whatever — that black handshake he has that he had with Chavez. We had a soul shake. And the GOP wonders why they are losing the black and Hispanic vote? What do you expect when you got a racist being […]
Chris Cillizza thinks we could be seeing the emergence of a new Republican Leader in Lindsey Graham: Graham, who spent the 2008 election cycle as Sen. John McCain‘s loyal sidekick, appeared alongside former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the GOP frontrunner in advance of 2012, and managed to stand out. Why? Because unlike other Republicans who […]
