Bad Word Of The Day: Uterus!

Politics

Rep. Scott Randolph (D-FL) is in trouble with Florida House Republicans for saying a new dirty word on the House floor: At one point Randolph suggested that his wife “incorporate her uterus” to stop Republicans from pushing measures that would restrict abortions. Republicans, after all, wouldn’t want to further regulate a Florida business. Apparently the […]

Swing State Blues For The GOP

Politics

This morning, Dave Weigel tweeted “Unpopular/overreaching GOP governors in OH, WI, FL — good or bad for GOP’s prez ticket?”. That really got me thinking about the upcoming general elections. The first actual poll of Ohio Governor John Kasich was released this morning. In it they find his approval rating at a dismal 40%, with […]

Kick Them To The Curb

Misc

I really never thought I would hear something like this from Rahm: “The Republican leadership,” Mr. Emanuel said, “has made a strategic decision that defeating President Obama’s health care proposal is more important for their political goals than solving the health insurance problems that Americans face every day.” That’s the strongest position yet taken by […]

Pump Shock

Misc

Like many others I was shocked the other day to see gas jump up 25 cents in one day. Of course we start writing it off as “increased demand”, something we hear every year at this time. Well it looks like the Republicans also noticed the increase and now are going to use it for […]

Still Wonder Why They Are In The Minority?

Misc

The House Republicans rolled out their big budget plans today. Instead of telling you about it, its probably best to just watch: They have no plan! Well except to give tax cuts to the wealthy. To see just how badly unorganized the House Republican leadership is, check out one of their leaders on MSNBC: Later […]

Cutting Off Your Nose To Spit Your Face

Misc

Perhaps that is a saying that should be echoed through the offices of the RNC and the Republican leadership. From the latest example of this practice, let’s look at the ongoing battle Michael Steele is waging with his own members in Senate: Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME), a pro-stimulus Republican who will be up for re-election […]
