NV Sen Candidate Sharron Angle Says Republicans Have Lost Their Principles. Really? #p2 #tcot #teaparty
Sharron Angle in fact has more principles than the Republican Party.

Her principles while I find repulsive given their insensitivity to humanity has […]

#TeaParty Not Seeing Extending Bush Tax Cuts As Cost To Government – Alternate State Of Reality #p2 #tcot
WOW. Chris Wallace must be thinking about leaving FoxNews. He actually challenged the standard GOP lie about Healthcare Reform insuring illegal aliens.

Sen. Jim DeMint: Gays And Unmarried, Pregnant Women Should Not Teach Public School
Markos Moulitsas wrote a book this year called American Taliban that I purchased a few weeks ago. He got some flack for graphically detailing the realities of the Right Wing movement.

Here’s Your Enthusiasm Gap – One Nation Rally Draws More Than Beck’s "Whitestock" #p2 #tcot #teaparty

Many in the mainstream media so fear being called liberal leaning that they tend to disregard anything emanating from progressives. While this […]
Tens Of Thousands Of Progressives Rally At The Lincoln Memorial For Jobs, Justice And Education #p2 #tcot #teaparty
Progressives are starting to show signs of life. While many think it is too late I think it is best not to peak to early. Let the other side get a false sense of invincibility. We must fight like the entire universe is against us and bring home a progressive victory to keep the country […]

Many Americans are not yet cognizant of the real power of Brazil’s economy backed as well by huge untapped natural resources.
