I can’t say that this comes as any shock: In the six weeks since lawmakers approved the Treasury’s massive bailout of financial firms, the government has poured money into the country’s largest banks, recruited smaller banks into the program and repeatedly widened its scope to cover yet other types of businesses, from insurers to consumer […]
Chris Matthews like the rest of us have had enough of the Republicans trying to say that this is still a center-right country. He finally called out GOP talking head Todd Harris on this crap being pushed by the GOP – which is another example that they do not listen to the people. (h/t Cesca)
This is what we have been warning about on the left; that Sarah Palin’s increasingly dangerous rhetoric was putting Obama at danger. Well it looks like the Secret Service also agrees with us: The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of “palling around with terrorists”, citing his association with the sixties […]
The Republicans really need to listen to people like John Cole and Andrew Sullivan, two life long conservatives who ended up leaving the party. Sure these are mostly big names in the cyber world, but there are also names like George Will and Christopher Buckley out there now that should be listened to. Cole gives […]
Be afraid Republicans! Erick Erikson has launched “Operation Leper” to go after the McCain staffers who leaked stuff to the media about Palin. TBogg has all the great details, along with evidence of the power of Erickson. Welcome to a war our nation as a whole isn’t in. This is a war we can sit […]

Michelle Obama was shaken by the vituperative crowds and the […]
The Hill is reporting that Democrats might strip Joe Lieberman of his committee chairmanship next year, since he won’t be needed to insure a Democratic majority. Maybe Joe will just go ahead and call the GOP home, like he needs to do.
It’s great to see ACORN firing back at the GOP over their bogus allegations. ACORN isn’t laying down either, filing two lawsuits today. This entire faux-outrage by the rabid right has really shown their hatred. Who in their right mind would think that a national group like ACORN would collude to go out and illegally […]
Jonathan Martin is reporting about a secret session of conservatives planned for after the election: Two days after next week’s election, top conservatives will gather at the Virginia weekend home of one of the movement’s most prominent members to begin a conversation about their role in the GOP and how best to revive a party […]
There’s problems in paradise according to Ben Smith: Even as John McCain and Sarah Palin scramble to close the gap in the final days of the 2008 election, stirrings of a Palin insurgency are complicating the campaign’s already-tense internal dynamics. Four Republicans close to Palin said she has decided increasingly to disregard the advice of […]
