Now the GOP infighting really gets interesting. In one corner we have former presidential nominee John McCain, and in the other corner – Republican Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina: “McCain, who is proponent of campaign finance reform that weakened party organizations and basically put George Soros in the driver’s seat,” DeMint said. “His proposal […]
The proof is in his new ad: The legislation Obama sponsored? A bill to teach children about inappropriate touching. Yes – telling kindergartners to not let their parents or dirty neighbor touch them wrong. More at HuffPo. (And of course McCain wouldn’t want legislation like this. It might hurt his friends like Mark Foley)
John Edwards has admitted to the rumors of his affair, and already the right is in a frenzy. So, can anyone refresh my memory? When was it John McCain started dating Cindy? When was it that they applied for their marriage license? Oh yeah – while McCain was married to the woman who waited for […]
Kurtz points out the sad part of the whole Spitzer (or swallows) sting bust: If ABC’s account is accurate, the whole case is sort of anti-climactic. The feds start out thinking they have the New York governor on the hook for bribery — and instead discover that he’s just skulking around with high-priced call girls. […]
Because naughty scenes are so bad that we have to get rid of it – and that helps everyone! Well everyone but underage girls: Remember Clean Flix? It’s the Utah-based DVD business that was a favorite of conservative politicians and an anathema to the studios because it edited feature films to remove or alter content […]
The right wing blogs have been in going on about the ten year anniversary of the Monica Lewinsky ordeal. As with any anniversary, it is time to reflect. In particular I would like to reflect on some very obvious hypocrisy’s this is pointing out. They dwell in the past – Isn’t this something the wingnuts […]
He is going after the spend happy Republicans. When House Republicans convene behind closed doors today at the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., they have a chance to make two bold moves to restore their reputation for fiscal responsibility. First, they could declare a one-year moratorium on Republican congressional earmarks. Second, they could […]
That is the logic of the same man who thought in 1992 we should quarantine HIV patients, even though we had known for years the disease was much harder to contract. Think progress has the transcript and video up. I guess this logic has played well for the GOP in the past. Just ask Mark […]
We knew this was going to be the reaction by the GOP: Senator John Ensign of Nevada, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, demanded that Mr. Craig keep his initial pledge and leave the Senate. “The type of behavior we are talking about here is not exactly something that I think a senator should […]
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 […]
