I was just watching Bill Maher and they were talking about the Joe Sestak deal. The talk was about how the right wants to impeach President Obama over this, despite nothing illegal being done. Patrick Ruffini, a former Bush adviser, defended this by saying “Obama promised not to do this stuff”, to which Jonathon Alter […]
With an ethics probe and calls for resignation mounting against John Ensign, the embattled Senator has one friend willing to lie for him – Joe Scarborough. This morning while discussing the ongoing trouble for Ensign, Scarborough asked if anyone called for John Edwards to resign when his affair came out. Wait! Edwards resign? Joe apparently […]
I thought the Tea Party was all about liberty and freedom? Wouldn’t that also mean the freedom to keep you alleged sexuality private? Apparently not: William Gheen, head of the conservative, anti-“amnesty,” anti-illegal immigration group Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), spoke at a Greenville, S.C. Tea Party rally this weekend and called for Sen. […]
The “mommy! mommy! He did it too” defense of the Republican Party is in full swing. They are deploying it every chance they get when it comes to the recent rise of threats of violence against Democratic lawmakers. Think Progress caught up Texas Republican, Rep. Pete Olson and asked him about what’s going on. When […]
In a blog post on the Tax Day Tea Party site, Eric Odom has stated he has received threatening phone calls. He then goes on to blame the left for all the outrage: You may or may not have heard, but the far left and the drive by media are pushing a major narrative campaign […]

There has been this new meme developing since the SOTU address that President Obama somehow breeched protocol or tradition by criticizing the Supreme Court’s decision on allowing unlimited money to flow from corporations to campaigns. This seems to be mostly fueled by the right, including some who are also critical of the decision. I wonder […]
Yesterday during the President’s Q&A session with House Republicans Mike Pence asked President Obama why he won’t support across the board tax cuts like Reagan wanted. This has been a key issue for Republicans for decades and I am wondering why they never did it when they had total control of the government. Think about […]
In an article talking about Tuesday’s race, the Boston Globe decides to talk to one single “liberal blogger” to gauge the feel of the entire blogosphere: Liberal blogs are loaded with complaints about Obama and demands that the president move to the left. During the campaign, “they energized enthusiasm among people who were really jazzed […]
My previous post got me thinking even more. The Louisiana Purchase brought us a lot of red states. As a matter of fact, 11 of the 13 states from the Louisiana Purchase voted for McCain in 2008. The devil has to be involved in that somehow. Now it’s time to exit Snarkville and point to […]
