For Claiming Their Love Of Democracy, Republican Sure Love To Screw It!

Misc

If you can’t beat them, change the system so you can! Here’s the story. The electoral college is mandated by the Constitution as the way to determine the winner of presidential elections, but it’s up to each state to decide how to apportion their electoral votes. Traditionally, states have chosen a winner-take-all system, because that […]

Who Cares About The Deficit?

Politics

Apparently not the Republicans. Check out Eric Cantor admitting that extending the Bush tax cuts will increase the deficit: Transcript (via Think Progress): GUTHRIE: [W]ill you just as simply acknowledge that passing these tax cuts worsens the budget deficit problem? I mean, you can’t deny that, right? CANTOR: Savannah, let’s look at it through the […]

Where Does The War On Terror Stop

National Security

I been meaning to post about the whole notion the wingnuts (including Lieberman) have been pushing; that we should go to war in Syria. Let’s think about this for a minute. The war started in Afghanistan. That then pushed the terrorists in Pakistan. We are fighting some in Pakistan and now they are moving to […]

Could HCR Be Viewed As An Electorate Guarantee For Democrats?

Politics

I’m just spit-balling here, but something has struck me. For years we have talked about how banning abortion was a necessity for Republican victory, as backed up by the evidence of them actually not doing much to deliver once in office. The thought is that Republicans need to keep the abortion debate alive to insure […]

The Public Option Via Reconciliation

Science

This notion is at the most a pipe dream and we must take a serious look at the Senate today. There are a few major obstacles that need to be overcome. Can it be included in reconciliation? I have seen a lot of liberals throw out the word like it is some instant magic bullet, […]

The Real Lessons Of Last Night

Misc

As  I mentioned earlier, a major contributing factor to the huge loss Creigh Deeds suffered last night was from the fact that he ended up running against the Democratic agenda. Markos gives some needed warning to the Democrats on what happened last night: Giving Republicans cover by stymying the reform agenda that won Democrats the […]

Another Example Of All Politics No Longer Being Local

Misc

Again from NY-23: We crunched the FEC contribution numbers this afternoon to discover that 95 percent of Hoffman’s donations came from individuals and PACs based outside of the district. (Hoffman himself doesn’t even live in NY-23.) Only $12,360 of the $265,341 he’s raised came from potential constituents. Hoffman collected money from donors in 35 states. […]

Perhaps Obama Should Pull A Palin

Misc

It has been an interesting weekend. First rumors started flying that Todd and Sarah Palin are getting a divorce, which was immediately followed by a cease and desist from Palin’s attorney to the reporting website.  Then we found out President Obama was truly born in Kenya, as proven by a birth certificate. For the former […]
