The interesting thing about this race is the fact that the Republicans had to dump tons of money into the race to help the person they didn’t even really want. With them having to do that, it shows you how scared they really are about losing Senate this fall.
I wonder if Hannity will accuse the New York Times of “torturing” Lieberman now: Mr. Lamont, a wealthy businessman from Greenwich, seems smart and moderate, and he showed spine in challenging the senator while other Democrats groused privately. He does not have his opponent’s grasp of policy yet. But this primary is not about Mr. […]
So how will the radical right label all these people now? A new Gallup poll finds that roughly 2 in 3 Americans urge a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, with 31% wanting this to start immediately. But it also found that while 64% feel they “understand” the Bush administraton’s argument for staying in Iraq, only 54% […]

The problem with illegal immigration is the employers. These people exploit the conditions in which these people are here and use those reasons for their own profit.

The Republicans have once again said “fuck middle America” and spent their time giving tax breaks to the rich: The Senate gave final approval Thursday to a $70 billion election-year package of tax cuts that will extend lower rates for investors and also save billions for families with above-average incomes. The Senate passed the measure […]
Something short of a miracle happened in Senate yesterday. An amendment to the Iraq Supplemental Spending bill was passed forbidding any money be used for permanent bases in Iraq. The amazing part is that this amendment was introduced by a Democrat – Joe Biden. Think Progress points out that the House has also taken a […]
There is a bunch of talk right now about the Net Neutrality Act. I decided it was time for me to explain it from a tech stand point. First off here is a short synopsis of what this is: “Net neutrality” is a concept that is still unfamiliar to most Americans, but it keeps the […]
