Think about it. Every time the Democrats do something that makes the netroots happy Republicans quickly bash them as being taken over by the “fringe” elements. They quickly blast Move On and DailyKos as “taking over the party”. It always goes through me, like the sound of Coulter, when I hear this used. Are these […]
Now reports are saying that 4 years of Rove email may be missing: A lawyer for the Republican National Committee told congressional staff members yesterday that the RNC is missing at least four years’ worth of e-mail from White House senior adviser Karl Rove that is being sought as part of investigations into the Bush […]
Today’s LA Times gives us one of the most detailed looks yet into this scandal: When Karl Rove and his top deputies arrived at the White House in 2001, the Republican National Committee provided them with laptop computers and other communication devices to be used alongside their government-issued equipment. The back-channel e-mail and paging system, […]
The White House will stop at nothing until they get all the federal prosecutors replaced with their political buddies: A United States attorney in Arkansas who was dismissed from his job last year by the Justice Department was ousted after Harriet E. Miers, the former White House counsel, intervened on behalf of the man who […]

It is funny how Ann Coulter can go on television and call Clinton and Gore fags, yet Bill Maher says that Mehlman is gay and that can’t be allowed to happen.

One of this biggest factors for the past decade of GOP wins has been their fundraising and GOTV (get out the vote) campaign, which I will have more on later. These two factors combined have dealt lethal blows to the Democrats and the Democrats have not been able to counter them, until now. This year […]
And a face: Mike DeWine, who is now using his own incompetence from 12 years ago to attack Sherrod Brown: Expect fireworks this afternoon as Sherrod Brown’s campaign for U.S. Senate blasts the Republican National Committee and Sen. Mike DeWine’s reelection committee and demands that they immediately take down commercials with demonstrably false claims. This […]
An article in today’s Washington Post discusses how Democrats are targeting their opponents and using past and present legal/ethical problems their competition has faced as issues in their campaigns. The article takes a slant towards painting the Democrats strategy as dangerous. This part in particular highlights that slant: Former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie […]
It’s no secret that privacy has been under serious attack this year. I have documented numerous cases here, and now we have a new one for the files: In a breach of privacy, the Republican National Committee erroneously e-mailed a list that contained the names, races, and Social Security numbers of dozens of top Republican […]
It looks like the Republicans are revving up for a nasty cycle of political ads: Republicans are planning to spend the vast majority of their sizable financial war chest over the final 60 days of the campaign attacking Democratic House and Senate candidates over personal issues and local controversies, GOP officials said. The National Republican […]
