For years we heard people talking about how brilliant Rove was when it came to politics. I always disagreed with that. What Rove is good at is dirty tricks, spinning and lying. Calling him a “great political mind” is like calling a bank robber a “great businessman” or a rapist an “artful seducer of women”. […]
When asked about the economy, none of them (well except Ron Paul) would give Bush any blame for the economy. The spin machine was in full force trying to blame everyone else, but the person who voters traditionally blame. With the news of 17,000 jobs lost yesterday, that could really end up hurting the eventual […]
That’s what it kind of sounds like: The cash-strapped National Republican Congressional Committee released a statement Friday suggesting a former vendor has engaged in fraudulent activity with regard to the committee’s financial audit process. The statement from NRCC Chairman Tom Cole (R-Okla.) is the only information the committee is providing at this point, and the […]
This is not good news for the GOP front runner: John McCain, who ended the year with a $4.5 million debt, plans six coast-to-coast fundraisers in three days to capitalize on his Florida victory and front-runner status and build on the $7 million he raised in the first three weeks of January. $7 million? That […]
He gave a great speech yesterday. The difference between his and Giuliani’s was like night and day, so I decided to post it if anyone missed it: Also telling is how well Obama and Clinton responded to Edwards’ dropping out. Last night there was hardly any talk of Giuliani from the Republicans, yet Edwards’ former […]
The media is talking about Clinton and Obama disagreeing and making it out to be this huge fight. They are talking very little about the fireworks between McCain and Romney last night at the debate, despite Romney accusing McCain of being up to “dirty tricks”. So it’s ok for Republicans to disagree, but don’t let […]
Tom Davis, Repuke-VA, has announced he won’t run for reelection this year. That’s 27 Republicans in the House leaving this year.
Rep. Ron Lewis (R-KY) has announced he won’t run for re-election. This brings the total number of Republicans in the House not running to 26.
Very interesting article that deserves a good reading. It shows how Blackwater is throwing their hat into the political ring in order to keep some seats in the hands of the GOP. Morale of the story? Republicans will let Blackwater go on with their reckless killing of Iraqis.
That’s what he said last night. Unfortunately for him it’s his own party that is balking at the idea: Even as Bush called on Congress to cut earmarks in half and announced an executive order cracking down on the projects, Republicans in Congress were sending out a mixed message about what their party really stands […]
