GOP Insults

There is a new “insult generator” that has an interesting twist. Insult generators are those websites that string together random words to insult someone or something. But the new one doesn’t do it randomly. It is the “Tea Party Insult Generator” and the twist is that it uses actual insults posted on John Boehner’s Facebook […]

Not Dead Yet!

Tea party candidate David Brat won a completely unexpected upset in his Republican primary, defeating House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA). It is the first time ever that a House Majority Leader has lost in a primary. The media had almost unanimously predicted that Cantor would win easily. Politico said “In other news, Virginia Rep. […]

The Establishment Clause

Victory or Submission?

As predicted, no Tea Party challengers won their Republican primaries today. The glory days of wing-nut insurgents like Christine (I am not a witch) O’Donnell, Todd Akin, Ken Buck, Richard Mourdock, and Sharron Angle beating more traditional Republican candidates in the primaries – just to go on to lose big in the general election – […]

The Tea Party is the Problem

© Clay Bennett Commentators like to appear unbiased by declaring that our biggest problem is partisanship in Washington. What a joke. The problem is not partisanship. In fact, according to Jon Favreau, the problem isn’t even the partisans. It is not Democrats (including Obama), and it isn’t even Republicans. The problem is the Tea Party. […]

Biting the Hand that Feeds You

So a question I’ve been asking myself is why did the Republicans fold on both the shutdown and the debt limit, without getting anything in return? I think the answer, as usual, has to do with following the money. Campaign contributions to Tea Party members of the House of Representatives dropped significantly because of the […]

Bachmann Calls it Quits!

Heck, I leave town for a few days and irony abounds! Michele Bachmann has announced that she will not seek reelection. Will she run for some other office, or is she pulling a Palin?
