The Age Of The Independent

Politics

From Gallup: The percentage of Americans identifying as political independents increased in 2011, as is common in a non-election year, although the 40% who did so is the highest Gallup has measured, by one percentage point. More Americans continue to identify as Democrats than as Republicans, 31% to 27%. This year will be even more […]

Republican Enthusiasm Takes A Nose Dive

Misc

A new poll out by Gallup shows a strong decrease in enthusiasm for Republicans and Republican leaning independents. In September 58% of these voters were more enthusiastic about this election, but a new poll out has that number slipping to 49%. The Republicans are still winning in this part of the race, with the Democrats […]

BREAKING: New Bipartisan Jobs Package Revealed

Politics

Republicans and Democrats have come together to offer a new jobs package in the House. Well should I say “Republican” and “Democrat” in the names of Rep. Lee Terry [R-NE2] and Edolphus Towns [D-NY10]. The two have introduced HR 3035, the “Mobile Informational Call Act of 2011”, which gives this quick summary: To amend the […]

Science

This morning on MSNBC Erin Burnett was talking about the FCC releasing their plan this week to increase the nation’s broadband speeds and penetration. During the segment she pointed to a new report stating that we are #18 when it comes to internet speed. Romania even beats us out. Is it any wonder that we […]

Dede Scozzafava Endorses Democrat Bill Owens In NY-23

Misc

I believe this news is a perfect example of my “sliding scale” of political parties I discussed in my previous post. A lot will try and claim that Scozzafava made this decision out of malice against people like Palin, but I believe it isn’t that simple. Scozzafava was more to the right on fiscal issues, […]

All Politics Are Not Local (Anymore)

Misc

I have used this quote before, but it bares repeating: However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for […]

D -VS- R

Misc

This story pisses me off: Late last night, House leadership decided it would postpone the release of its completed draft of health care reform legislation, after Blue Dog Democrats—and a variety of other concerned members–raised a number of objections to aspects of the proposal.

Little Tent Big Tent

Misc

I posted about California’s GOP punishing some of its members for voting for tax hikes the other day. It looks like that notion is picking up steam as the RNC’s Michael Steele is now talking about punishing senators Collins, Specter and Snowe for their support of the stimulus. (h/t AmericaBLOG) Something we used to hear […]

White House Negotiating 101

Misc

You got to love how diplomatic this White House is. Here is what they have said today about the military supplemental bill: President Bush on Tuesday invited Democrats to discuss their standoff over a war-spending bill, but he made clear he would not change his position opposing troop withdrawals. The White House bluntly said the […]

Family Research Council – Protecting Family Faith and Freedom. What a damn joke!. Here is the statement they released about Foley: In response to the events surrounding the resignation of Congressman Mark Foley (R- Fla.), Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins released the following statement: “We are all shocked by this spectacle of aberrant […]
