© Lee Judge Republicans are using the deficit to attack Obama and the Democrats, but they don’t actually care about the deficit. When asked how they would cut the deficit, their only ideas are to go back to the economic policies of the Bush administration. In fact, every Republican voted against Obama’s balanced budget law.

© Keith Tucker The next time a Republican politician claims to be pro-business, ask them why they killed a bill that would help small businesses get loans? I guess it is more important to keep the economy in the shambles so you can blame it on Obama.
[I’m reprinting this letter from Fred Wickham (the blogger at Bullseye Rooster). Despite my headline, I am NOT calling Andrew Breitbart or Fox News terrorists, but reading this reminded me of why most governments refuse to negotiate with terrorists — it just encourages them. In this case, by firing Sherrod, the government is encouraging Breitbart […]
© Matt Davies Billions of dollars to bail out the banks, but nothing for the unemployed who lost their jobs because of the financial crisis brought on by the banks. What makes this doubly ironic is that the Republicans claim that extending unemployment benefits would only encourage people without jobs to avoid looking for work. […]
Further evidence that when reality doesn’t match their political needs, Republicans will just ignore reality and lie. The tax cuts for the wealthy that Bush and the Republicans got passed in 2001 and 2003 were completely insane, marking the first time in our nation’s history when taxes were cut during war time. But now those […]
© Joel Pett When the right wing accused climate scientists of falsifying data, it was all over the media. But now that the so-called “ClimateGate” has been proved to be a hoax — there was no falsifying of data, and the accused scientists have been cleared of any wrongdoing — there is hardly any mention. […]
Dana Milbank has an excellent list of the lies that are being told to stir up fear against illegal aliens: tall tales of beheadings, claims that border violence is increasing when it is actually decreasing, fantasy claims that Phoenix is the #2 kidnapping capital in the world, blaming illegal immigrants for most police killings, and […]
Rush Limbaugh has sold his Fifth Avenue condo in New York City, complaining about high taxes. And you know, the apartment, which takes up an entire floor of the building and even has its own entrance, is just like you would imagine Limbaugh would use to rest his weary head, after a long day of […]
Yes, the Republicans do have a plan for reducing unemployment: © Ed Stein One of the things I really like about Ed Stein’s comics is that he has a blog where he comments on them. His comments on this one are better than anything I could add: I’ve been accused of blindly blaming the Republican […]
© Jim Morin See also Jon Stewart weighing in on Republican protests against blaming Bush. Not to mention the fact that the top presidential scholars have just rated Bush the absolute worst president of the modern era, and the fifth worst president of all time.
Yesterday, Republican Party chairman Michael Steele tried to blame the war in Afghanistan on Obama: This was a war of Obama’s choosing. This is not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in. It was one of those, one of those areas of the total board of foreign policy … that […]
I’ve already done two posts about repeated, baldfaced lies told by Arizona governor Jan Brewer. First, non-partisan PolitiFact revealed that she lied repeatedly about Arizona’s new immigration law. Next, she repeatedly claimed that the majority of illegal immigrants coming over the border are smuggling drugs, despite absolutely no evidence to back up her claim (and […]
Republicans keep calling the Gulf oil spill “Obama’s Katrina” and are claiming that Obama has not responding appropriately and quickly enough to the disaster. But according to a report by CBS news, Republican governors are delaying the deployment of National Guard troops that Obama has authorized to help with the cleanup. For example, Louisiana Governor […]
In a previous post, we caught Arizona governor Jan Brewer lying repeatedly about the anti-immigrant law she had just signed. She kept saying that “under SB 1070 there must first be reasonable suspicion that you are breaking some OTHER non-immigration law before an officer can ask a person about their legal status.” But if you […]
This guy has to be a winner in the “do as I say, not as I do” contest. David Jungerman of Raytown, Missouri posted a large sign on a semi-truck along a major highway. The sign reads: Are You A Producer or Parasite Democrats – Party of Parasites However, a quick check of a farm […]
