This is politics at it’s worse. While the GOP has accused Democrats of playing politics with the lives of soldiers, it is evident they are the ones who were playing the games: White House officials fear that the last pillars of political support among Senate Republicans for President Bush’s Iraq strategy are collapsing around them, […]
These Republicans, which are up for re-election, are starting to get scared: The tide of Republican defections from President George W. Bush’s camp swelled Saturday when two more US senators joined the chorus of critics of his Iraq policy, demanding change. But while expressing sharp disagreement with the strategy of “surging” the number of US troops […]
I haven’t heard much on this, but it is very interesting. Last year all state offices in Ohio went to Democrats with the exception of the State Auditor. That was won by Republican Mary Taylor. Now that the Democrats have moved in, they are trying to go throw what the Republicans have done and found […]
So images should be illegal, but someone actually pursuing a minor for sex shouldn’t?

This is how incompetent the Republicans in Senate are: When angry Democrats briefly shut down the Senate last year to protest the slow pace of a congressional investigation into prewar intelligence on Iraq, Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) claimed a rare victory. Republicans called it a stunt but promised to quickly wrap up […]
Things in Iraq are getting really bad. The LA Times has an article today saying that the civil war is “all but declared“, and we now get a Republican Representative, who has been a supporter of the war, saying it is time to get out: Congressman Gil Gutknecht found the situation in Iraq more bleak […]
When Bush took to the airwaves a couple of months ago to address the nation from the Oval Office regarding immigration, I had my typical thought of Bushit, and his plan to send 6,000 National Guard troops to the border especially reeked of it. Now the very conservative Washington Times is realizing Bush’s plan has […]
That is precisely what the administration, the GOP and its mouthpieces would say if a Democrat was talking about this: Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter said Thursday he is considering legislation to cut off funding for the Bush administration’s secret domestic wiretapping program until he gets satisfactory answers about it from the White House.
