I guess being the Party of No was getting old, so the Republicans decided to crowd-source some new ideas. They created a new website that invites you (the American people) to contribute ideas that they can implement. There are just a few problems: While they may be happy to promote this site in a partisan […]

© Joel Pett If Tuesday’s election proved anything, it is that Tea Party anger, although mostly fostered and funded by Republicans, can definitely cause blow-back.
The Maine GOP (which is historically moderate) had their convention last weekend and adopted a radical, tea-party inspired platform, to the surprise of even the authors of the new platform. But what is really ironic is that the group that wrote the new platform met in a classroom of a nearby school, and objected to […]
Once again, the GOP formulated their talking points against the Supreme Court nominee before Obama had even named the nominee. © Drew Sheneman When Elena Kagan was nominated, Republicans attacked her because she has never been a judge. Ironically, Kagan was nominated by then-president Clinton to be a judge on the Court of Appeals, but […]
Yesterday, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele released a statement about Obama nominating Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. His major complaint against Kagan seems to be this: her support for statements suggesting that the Constitution “as originally drafted and conceived, was ‘defective’” OMG, how can a nominee to the Supreme Court believe that the […]
© Mike Luckovich Plus, Tea Partiers in Utah at a Republican Party convention denied the Senate nomination to three term incumbent Bob Bennett, despite the fact that Bennett is popular with Republicans in Utah. By doing this, Tea Partiers are creating a situation where Democrats can gain this seat in the general election, despite the […]
Republicans often claim that government can’t do anything right, that governments always waste money. Maybe they are just projecting. An internal probe of the Republican National Committee (RNC) has found that the organization is suffering from questionable financial management. Signatures are being forged onto expense reimbursement paperwork, clothing, wine, and entertainment expenses are being listed […]
I’m stealing this outright from Andrew Sullivan, because it precisely illustrates why there are very few Republicans I can take seriously anymore. Being against everything Obama does, does not good policy make. Reagan v. Today’s GOP (Part 2) “A nuclear-free world has been a 60-year dream of the Left, just like socialized health-care,” – Rudy Giuliani, […]
In an interview with ABC News, RNC chairman Michael Steele claimed that his race may be a reason motivating some of the attacks against him. Some people are calling for Steele to resign, after it was disclosed that a trip to a sex club was paid for with RNC funds. But in a sign that […]
“During a fundraising trip to California, some young Republicans took the Republican Party credit card to a club in Hollywood that has nude dancers doing bondage shows. Usually when Republicans find themselves in dark rooms with whips and chains, it’s in Dick Cheney’s basement. ” – Craig Ferguson “Now here’s a fascinating story. And this […]
© Tom Toles I’ve been looking for a comic about the simmering violence underlying the GOP response to health care reform, but until now none of them had just the right amount of irony. This one is perfect. The Republican party is now controlled by their extremists, and it will only get worse. The main […]
© Lee Judge Unfortunately there isn’t enough room on that blackboard, because I can think of a whole lot more of these. For example: Apocalypse = When Democrats pass a bill that is virtually identical to one passed by Mitt Romney, not to mention one Republicans proposed back in 1993 Fascist = What to call […]
