It used to be that the Republicans would bash the Democrats for not having any unity. Now it appears the shoe is on the other foot.

Former Sen. Larry Pressler (R-S.D.) has jumped on board with Obama. It’s amazing the number of Republicans who have come out and publicly supported Obama now. Even more telling is that only one of them was black, Colin Powell, and he was ridiculed by his own party for endorsing Obama strictly on race. This just […]

There’s problems in paradise according to Ben Smith: Even as John McCain and Sarah Palin scramble to close the gap in the final days of the 2008 election, stirrings of a Palin insurgency are complicating the campaign’s already-tense internal dynamics. Four Republicans close to Palin said she has decided increasingly to disregard the advice of […]

John Boehner wants Bush to cut off all federal funding to ACORN Boehner said his office had determined that ACORN had received more than $31 million in direct federal funding since 1998. He said the group had likely received far more indirectly through federal block grants to states and localities. “Immediate action is necessary to […]

On Morning Joe Peggy Noonan says: “I am not one of those ‘you must vote’ people.” Her argument is that people should be educated before voting. She even raises the question of counting the votes of 18 year olds the same as those of 70 year old business owners. It’s no wonder she doesn’t want […]

A lot of people in the Cincinnati area lost their life savings because […]

People are quitting their jobs at call-centers over the negative ads against Obama the Republicans are paying for. Why do the Republicans hate the American worker so much?

Not anymore. A new McClatchy/IPSOS poll finds Obama is the strong on the family values issue: On family values, a subject Republicans have used to court Christian conservatives and suburban moderates since the 1980s, likely voters now prefer Obama over McCain by 8 points. That’s up from 3 points in mid-September. Let’s ignore the fact […]

Yet another mob mentality at one of those McCain/Palin rallies. Remember – these are the people John McCain is “proud” of. Even when John McCain “set the record straight” with that old lady last week, think about what happened. When she said Obama was an Arab, McCain said ‘no – he’s a good guy”. That […]

And he is in the form of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-mn). She wants to investigate Liberals for “hating America”. Seriously – this bitch is totally off the wall. If the Republicans are serious about bringing America back together then the Republican Leadership in the House should quickly distance themselves from Bachmann. The NRCC should also […]
