Both parties suffer from corrupt members of their caucuses, but the Republican party seems to have a pandemic of corruption deep within it, even locally. Here is what’s happening here in Butler County, Ohio – the home of IntoxiNation and minority leader John Boehner: Butler County is doing more than its share these days to […]
The U.S. is currently rated 30th in life expectancy. Now compare that to Canada, rated 10th and the U.K. which is 26th. The Republicans have been trying this new scare tactic that Canada and the U.K. won’t take care of their seniors, and equate it to euthanizing them. If that’s the case then why do […]
This is getting very dangerous: Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) will not be hosting any town hall events this August — instead, he’s making himself available to constituents for one-on-one meetings about health care reform — and at least part of the reason is this: His offices have received threatening phone calls, including at least one […]
I found this argument to be beyond absurd: Fully 35 percent of Democrats believe George W. Bush had advance knowledge of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Fully 28 percent of Republicans believe Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States. Meet the fanatical third. The two can not be compared. A month prior to the attacks […]
For more proof that Republicans don’t care about health care reform as much as being obstructionists we turn to Roy Blunt: “Our bill is never going to get to the floor, so why confuse the focus? We clearly have principles; we could have language, but why start diverting attention from this really bad piece of […]
This whole birther movement is just plain craziness. I equate them with the “truthers” who constantly try to say 9/11 was some big Dr. Evil style plot put together by Bush and Co. There is one big difference though. The truthers never received the support of big names in either political party. The birthers seems […]
I just love my local politics, especially from the Republican side of things. There is always some new controversy coming up. The latest involves the county chair: Butler County Republican Party Chairman Tom Ellis is being sued by his own brother for allegedly defrauding him and his mother for more than $500,000, court records show. […]
Drudge is pushing this right wing rumor that President Obama was checking out some 16 year olds ass while at the G8: Oh and here’s the really bad part. That “Second Stimulus Package” is a joke referring to the picture that links to the picture on Yahoo. Even 6 out of 7 of Drudge’s top […]
This story pisses me off: Late last night, House leadership decided it would postpone the release of its completed draft of health care reform legislation, after Blue Dog Democrats—and a variety of other concerned members–raised a number of objections to aspects of the proposal. The Blue Dogs are the biggest problem facing a decent healthcare […]
Remember all the rage from the right a couple of months ago when Nancy Pelosi aid the CIA mislead Congress? Well according to the head of the CIA, Pelosi may have just been telling the truth: The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Leon E. Panetta, has told the House Intelligence Committee in closed-door testimony […]
