Unbelievable: Congressional Democrats and the White House are toying with different ways to force BP to cover the costs of damages from the Gulf oil spill. But they face stiff opposition from industry…and it seems leading Republicans. In response to a question from TPMDC, House Minority Leader John Boehner said he believes taxpayers should help […]
I’ve blogged about our local GOP in the past and some of the problems he has faced. Well last night the Butler County GOP got together and voted him out of power: The Butler County Republican party ousted its incumbent chairman Wednesday, May 26, voting instead for a Liberty Twp. trustee backed by some of […]
Thinking about the results of yesterday’s elections, one thing sticks out to me. America isn’t really anti-incumbent, but rather anti-old school politics. Let’s start in Kentucky. Rand Paul beat Secretary of State Trey Grayson, making him the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate. Rand Paul doesn’t have a political career like his opponent, but he did […]
The lowest tax levels since 1950? Amid complaints about high taxes and calls for a smaller government, Americans paid their lowest level of taxes last year since Harry Truman‘s presidency, a USA TODAY analysis of federal data found.

Tea Party rally this weekend and called for Sen. […]

It also said the Tea Party never promoted Hannity as a headliner for the rally. Really? […]
Tea baggers are mad that they didn’t get their Hannity love fest live and in-person last night. So mad that one tea bagger decided to put this video together: Judging by the typos in the intro title roll to this video one can only say that it was produced by a tea bagger.
Last night Glenn Reynolds posted this little tidbit about Fox pulling the plug on Hannity’s show from the Cincinnati Tea Party: ANOTHER UPDATE: The Cincinnati Tea Party folks tell me that they had no deal with Hannity — he had a deal with the University of Cincinnati, and they had a deal with the University […]
