Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson spent an estimated $150 million last year in campaign contributions to help Mitt Romney and other Republicans around the country win elections. Now, in a new filing with the SEC, it turns out that’s not all Adelson spent money on: In its annual regulatory report, filed with the commission on Friday, […]
While Republicans around the country are trying relentlessly to kill democracy and instill new ways that could have actually lead to a Romney/Ryan victory last fall, despite Obama getting 5 million more votes, one man who would have been winner isn’t so keen on the idea: Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has come out against altering […]
Another day, another episode in the hatred of the GOP. Here’s Rep. Lou Barletta (R-PA) talking about immigration reform (via Think Progress): “It’s amnesty that America can’t afford,” Barletta said Monday. “We have to stop people from coming in illegally. This will be a green light for anyone who wants to come to America illegally […]
With the historic second inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States now in the history book, it’s time to take a look at the GOP response yesterday. While Republican leaders were in Washington urging a “come together” moment, the same wasn’t true around the country. On Facebook alone I noticed countless Republican […]
I have been saying for years that one of the biggest problems the GOP faces is their own purging of the moderate Republicans. That action is greatly shrinking the size of their tent, which translates to fewer voters. This is a problem that not only I have noticed, but many others in politics. There have […]
The nomination of Chuck Hagel by President Obama to become our next Secretary of Defense has really started a firestorm. One of the most interesting reasons Republicans oppose him has to be this: They’ve also lambasted positions Hagel took as a GOP senator, including his opposition to unilateral sanctions against Iran, as well as votes […]
Welcome to another episode of Republicans crying foul over nothing: In a move that is rich in irony, President Obama agreed Tuesday night to sign an emergency deficit reduction bill that does almost nothing to rein in spending and then jetted out to Hawaii to resume his vacation at an extra cost of more than […]
Let’s face it, Republican’s are angry. You can’t even talk to one about President Obama or the Democrats without them devolving into some shouting and name calling. But is that where their anger should really be? In November we saw something really interesting. The Republican Party was losing Latino and women voters quicker than our […]
This has to be one of the most idiotic things I have read in ages. Shouldn’t be shocking, coming from a former Bush writer: Barring a last-minute breakthrough, taxes will go up for every U.S. taxpayer on Jan. 1 — and that’s a development conservatives should welcome. Don’t get me wrong: It would be better […]
It was a little over a year ago that President Obama came here to Cincinnati and pushed for his jobs plan. In that speech he talked about infrastructure improvements and highlighter the Brent Spence bridge that connects Ohio and Kentucky as a perfect example. Quickly Republicans pounced on this as “earmarks” and “pork barrel”, including […]
