The dipshit of Minnesota is back in the news. Here’s the one and only Michele Bachmann: BACHMANN: I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under Democrat President Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it is an interesting […]
It looks like that could be the case: Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones has taken the first step to challenge U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner in next year’s GOP primary. Jones pulled a petition at the Butler County Board of Elections Tuesday, April 28, to take on the West Chester Twp. Republican in […]
The number of people now identifying themselves as Republican is down to 21%. We are seeing the death of the two-party system in our country, and it really is scary. We also are seeing more people identifying as independent than having any party affiliation. Is it time to rethink the whole thing and offer more […]
It’s funny that even with the entire Blago debacle going on in Illinois and Republicans trying to paint Democrats in the state as the epitome of corruption, the people still want Democrats to lead them: Democratic Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley claimed victory tonight in the 5th District race to replace Rahm Emanuel in Congress.

Alex Knapp over at Outside the Beltway: Let’s call the “tea party” and “going Galt” nonsense what it is: unprincipled partisan hackery. If these were truly principled protests, they’d have been around all through the Bush and Republican-controlled Congress years, too. Alex has put together an interesting set of observations about the whole “tea party” […]
I posted about it last night. It’s where Republican Eric Cantor tried to say that the Democrats voted to let AIG keep their bonuses. Well now that the actual bill is coming up today, the one that gets back the bonuses and prevents this from happening again, Cantor isn’t sure if he will support it […]
Priceless: “In discussing with the American people his approach to the stimulus of our economy, he has first really used some dangerous words,” said Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, the No. 2 Republican. Mr. Kyl added, “It seems to me that the president is rather casually throwing out some careless language.” Kyl sure didn’t complain […]
That has been the constant message from Republicans over the past several days when it comes to the stimulus package. Digby even picked up on it: Can someone explain to me why I’m seeing Republican after Republican on television advising Americans on the right way to run the economy? Is there any reason why we […]
Every single Republican in the House votes against the stimulus bill. You got to hand it to them – they stick together no matter how far off the cliff the leadership is driving them. What gets me though is that the Democrats kept making concessions to the Republicans on this, and like a bunch of […]
Booman hits a tone of truthiness that won’t sit well with the blogosphere: James Kirchick likes to crow about how the Netroots don’t matter. There are a few former (Republican and Democrat) office holders that might beg to differ. But, Kirchick is right about one thing. If Obama listened to the Netroots’ advice all the […]
