It’s funny how over the past year we keep hearing about the Tea Party being a “grassroots” organization. Now we have more proof dismissing that myth: Just days after the first widespread tea party demonstrators hit the streets a year ago Thursday, Joe Wierzbicki, a Republican political consultant with the Sacramento firm Russo Marsh + […]
Today we have another episode in the dementia that is John McCain. Remember the maverick? Well then you must be thinking of the wrong person, because John McCain says he never called himself a maverick. For more than a decade, famed ‘Straight Talk Express’ rider John McCain has had ‘maverick’ as his and his supporters’ […]
Joe the Plumber has finally seen the light: Joe, also known as Sam Wurzelbacher, told an audience in Pennsylvania this week that McCain “is no public servant.” “McCain was trying to use me,” Wurzelbacher said, according to public radio correspondent Scott Detrow. “I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy.” […]
Yesterday Sarah Palin finally addressed Limbaugh’s use of the word “retard” and as expected, she approves! PALIN: I agree with Rush Limbaugh. He was using satire to politically correct — WALLACE: He used the “r” word. PALIN: He used satire. Name-calling by anyone, I teach this to my children and you teach it to your […]
The lack of maturity on the right never ceases to amazes me. The latest elementary school rant comes from Townhall: This reminds me when Fox News plays a constant b-roll of girls in bikinis during, say, Spring Break while proclaiming, “Ohhhh, isn’t that terrible! That’s so inappropriate!” MSNBC’s Dr. Nancy — who’s show gets terrible […]

A couple week ago I posted about our soldiers facing foreclosure, simply because they had the audacity to go and fight […]
The Politico: Chris Matthews is dead serious about running for the Senate in Pennsylvania – and shopping for a house in the state and privately discussing quitting MSNBC as proof of his intense interest, according to NBC colleagues, political operatives and friends. Even so, some NBC insiders think it’s all simply a negotiating ploy to […]
In 1986 a political operative in Texas called a press conference to say that the Democratic opponent of his boss had bugged their offices. The FBI and police investigated it and dropped the case. That Republican operative was none other than Karl Rove. So crying wolf and using the police to try and garner some […]
Cenk has come up with a real good reason that McCain wants the debate moved: Then I realized why they didn’t want to have this debate now. The first debate is on foreign policy. Conventional wisdom and the McCain camp believe this is their strong suit. But the news cycle is dominated right now by […]
Here is a possible motive for McCain’s game I hadn’t thought of : McCain’s ploy was transparent. To counter the public’s preference for Obama’s economics over his own, he would get both of them in a room and emerge proclaiming that they had reached agreement, that they had no differences. In fact, they have very […]
