Yesterday the Texas state Senate took up what would have been the harshest anti-abortion legislation in the country. Luckily Democratic State Senator, Wendy Davis, wasn’t going to stand for it and stages a 12+ hour filibuster. Throughout the duration of the filibuster, there were some very stressful times, where state Republicans failed to shut it […]
I have countless Republican friends. Whenever I tell them that their party’s ideals are antiquated and costing them dearly in the polls, they look at me like I’m crazy. Now a new report out also concludes the same thing, and this report was completed by the College National Republican Committee. In it the focus is […]

Take the comments this weekend of the chair of Georgia’s Republican Party. On Saturday the Marietta Daily Journal published a story, where chairwoman Sue Everhart warns that straight people would […]
No this isn’t an endorsement of the “wink, wink” half-term Governor from Alaska. Instead it’s an attempt to highlight that Sarah Palin is nothing more than a politician that engages in her “do as I say not as I do” form of leadership: Sarah Palin attempted to relaunch her political career and her political action […]
