You know Republicans are confident if they can show outward disdain for policies that help the poor migrate into the middleclass. Here he is being incoherent. He thinks the minimum wage is too low but as opposed to advocating increasing it he wants government out of setting a minimum. In his contempt for the citizens, […]

I am happy that the judge is interpreting the constitution as it should. Gays must be allowed to enter the military, period. It is unconscionable that in 2010 we are still discussing whether discrimination is discrimination. We have got to give President Obama a pass on this one. Clinton made a deal with the devil […]

The unraveling of the Tea Party candidates is in full swing. If these guys cannot handle reporters, how will they handle the corporate lobbyist. Oops, I forgot they are all corporate plants. Seriously,Joe Miller has been serially inconsistent. From stating that unemployment compensation is unconstitutional while his wife received it to wanting social programs ended […]

I am so happy to see that Robert Creamer is challenging conventional wisdom.

From Willie Horton to the commercials with racial overtones classic in the North Carolina senatorial race a few years ago, Republicans won by whatever means necessary. Democrats tend to be less vicious in their […]

I will wager that most conservatives have the same feelings articulated by Jesse Ventura. They will however not say it because the core of their base are fanatic supporters of Sarah Palin, Christine O’Donnell, and Michele Bachmann, likely the most unqualified, ignorant by choice, and dangerous women to every enter the body politic of a […]

I completely agree that Democrat’s suffer the problem of not knowing how to market a message. While the stimulus and TARP prevented a depression and a world financial meltdown, and healthcare reform is beneficial to all, neither the President, nor Congressional Democrats, nor Progressive pundits forcefully illustrated this in a manner Americans could understand. Instead […]
