It constantly surprises me how Republican’s don’t seem to understand that in the age of YouTube and the Internet, you can’t say crazy things, lie and flip-flop willy nilly, and expect that people will forget. For example, tonight on CNN, Romney spokesperson Eric Fehrnstrom said “I don’t think anybody expected Mitt to win Alabama or […]
© Tom Tomorrow Yes, I understand that Obama is probably mainly doing this because he is already being attacked as weak on defense (I guess because he hasn’t started any stupid wars). But I still don’t like it.
What’s the worst thing that has happened to Rush Limbaugh? The Sandra Fluke controversy? Claiming that Obama’s election was encouraging black kids to beat up whites on schoolbuses? Getting caught with illegal drugs? The fact that the median age of his audience has probably exceeded the US life expectancy? Or that he has fewer female […]
Public Policy Polling released the results of their Republican Primary polls in Alabama and Mississippi today, but the most interesting result are the last few questions: In Alabama, only 14% think Obama is a Christian, while 45% think he is Muslim, and 41% are not sure. It is worse in Mississippi, where only 12% think […]
© Jim Morin After the “more conservative than thou” primary season, will the Republican party be able to right itself to appeal to mainstream voters and independents?
“Last night was Super Tuesday – a 10-state GOP Primary orgy. A big, sweaty pile of lever-yankin’ Republican voters. And like most orgies, it involves a bunch of middle aged guys who are not appealing to women.” – Stephen Colbert “Mitt Romney just barely won the Republican primary in Ohio by 1%. … Then Romney […]
Many progressives assume that removing money (such as campaign donations from corporations) from politics will clean things up, but that is not necessarily so. Consider India, where in 1967 prime minister Indira Gandhi outlawed corporate contributions to political campaigns. Unfortunately, this removed one of the few legal (and transparent) methods of financing political races. Instead, […]
© Jack Ohman I guess it could be worse — they could be just making shit up to justify going to war, like we did in 2003.
USDA employee Shirley Sherrod was forced to resign after a misleadingly edited video of her was posted by Andrew Breitbart to his website, Big Government. At the time, the White House blamed her dismissal on Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, claiming that the White House had been informed, but not consulted about the firing. But that’s […]
“Today is the multi-state primary known as ‘Super Tuesday.’ It’s going to be followed tomorrow by ‘Now we’re really stuck with Romney Wednesday.’” – Conan O’Brien “With Super Tuesday coming up… there is not much time left until all conservatives are obliged to bury our feelings and find Mitt Romney attractive.” – Stephen Colbert “It’s […]
Back in 2008 when gas prices spiked, Fox News said “no President has the power to increase or to lower gas prices.” And that the best way to reduce gas prices is to reduce consumption, so Americans should “get rid of those gas guzzlers, buy decent insulation for your house.” But now, Fox News is […]
© August J. Pollak No matter what you think about what Rush Limbaugh said recently, what really surprises me is that anyone actually listens to anything he says. Or that there are any companies willing to sponsor him. What does the fact that so many Americans listen to him (and even believe him) say about […]
© Brian McFadden My only argument with this comic is the panel where he says “They’re centrists. Doing nothing is what comes naturally to them.” Our current hyper-partisan government makes a lot of noise, but I think we got a whole hell of a lot more done back when there were more moderates and centrists […]
“I thought the election was gonna be all about the economy. But the economy started doing better. So Republicans went to Plan B: calling women whores.” – Bill Maher “Japanese researchers have invented a speech-jamming gun that can silence people from 30 meters away. You fire this at them, and they can stop talking. It […]
Someone once said that if you go far enough on the political spectrum to either the right or the left, you’ll get to the same place. That may explain why Bill Maher tweeted today that liberals should accept Rush Limbaugh’s apology for his “insulting choice of words” when he called Sandra Fluke a “slut” and […]
