That’s exactly what this is: A small group of Republicans facing election fights next year have rallied around war legislation they think could unite the GOP: call for an end to U.S. combat in Iraq, but wait until President Bush is out of office. The legislation was deemed essentially a nonstarter by Democrats Friday and […]
Well the GOP had their debate last night and this is what it looked like: Romney, Thompson, McCain and Giuliani all choose to do fundraisers instead of answer questions in front of black voters. Not really shocking – we already know they are the party of “white Christians”, they just decided to reaffirm this.
Looks like the House Republicans wants the House Oversight Committee to investigate the New York Times for publishing the MoveOn ad at a cheaper than usual rate (a mistake on the NYT’s people that Move On is paying for). So will the same Republicans allow an investigation into FOX news for being a platform for […]
Will they do the same for Republican Congressman and Giuliani adviser Peter King? A homeland security adviser to Rudy Giuliani came under fire Thursday for claiming there were “too many mosques” in the United States — and defended himself by saying his point was that not enough Muslim leaders cooperate with law enforcement. Rep. Peter […]
And let them die in Iraq! That should be the new slogan of the GOP. They did another filibuster on Boxer’s resolution condemning any ad against military people (past or present), yet the measure condemning MoveOn’s ad passed. Considering the GOP blocks any measure that would help the troops as a whole, or even give […]
Yesterday the Republicans filibustered the Webb amendment, which would have given our troops equal time home as in combat. This was a certain show that the Republicans do not support our troops. So today they are supporting the troop. Senate is getting ready to take up debate on a Republican resolution condemning Move On over […]
And they don’t care. That is obvious considering they won’t attend debates held by black or Hispanic moderators. Cornell West (who I am a big fan of) has this to say about the current GOP dilemma: The GOP debate in Baltimore at Morgan State University, led and moderated by Tavis Smiley, and currently being snubbed […]
There was a lot of attention give to General Petraeus saying he didn’t know if Iraq was making us safer. For those that missed it, here it the clip from yesterday’s Senate hearing: This was a very damming answer and could be detrimental to the warring morale of our troops. For their commander to say […]
Now that we have another GOP congressman calling for defunding the war: Just received an email from our Washington reporter, Erin Kelly, who just got off the phone with Rep. Jim Walsh. She’s writing a story for tomorrow’s paper that reports the moderate Republican is switching gears and is now calling for withdrawal of U.S. […]
I think if Craig decides to stay in Senate that would be good for the Democrats. I don’t think the actual actions of what he did are so bad, but his hypocrisy on gay issues makes it very bad for him. It will also provide a great tool out on the campaign trail, as him […]
