This is a crucial time to contact your member of Congress regarding the Republican’s attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act. You can do so by clicking HERE. Call them and tell them that you want them to vote against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Need some reasons why? How about because, despite their ridiculous name for the […]

I’ve learned this week that I am, not kidding, a “freedom-hating communist”. Why? Because I have no problem limiting Americans’ right to bear arms. I’m not talking about taking away Americans’ right to bear arms. I’m talking about limiting that right. Sort of along the lines of limiting the right to freedom of expression by making it a crime to […]

I generally won’t have anything at all to do with the Democratic Underground. I consider that site to be the liberal equivalent to the Free Republic in terms of its overall integrity. I’m not saying there isn’t anything good at DU — there is. Lots of good stuff. It’s just way overshadowed by too much really over the top rhetoric, […]

Much has been made about the epic fail of the Democrats with regard to their messaging. On health insurance reform and nearly every other issue you can name, they always get their asses handed to them by the Republicans. The Frank Luntz right-wing messaging factory has been a far superior operation and has been far more successful at framing the […]

He’s crushing all the leading Republican contenders for president in the McClatchy/Marist latest poll. Today Obama would beat Republican Mitt Romney by 51 to 38 percent, the poll showed. In a December McClatchy-Marist poll, he trailed the former Massachusetts governor by 46-44 percent. Obama would defeat Republican Mike Huckabee by a similar margin, 50-38 percent. In December, the president led […]

So, anyway. When did it become censorship to ask people to show a little tact, consideration and decorum? Since we started asking conservatives to stop being douchebags, I guess… I’m just sayin’…

WTF is it with Tea Partiers and their desire to solve every problem with violence? The latest effluent (membership req’d) from Judson Phillips of the Tea Party Nation is another example. In his essay, he rightly characterizes the Westboro Baptist Church and their leader, Fred Phelps, for the shitbags they are. Not content with that, however, he goes on with […]

I have found the national political response to the shootings in Arizona a fascinating study this past week. As I blogged earlier this week , when Democrats held out an olive branch to Republicans last year, asking for a mutual statement urging civility in political discourse, they were firmly rebuffed by RNC leadership. I had expected this recent tragedy to […]

Hey. Did you get the memo? No? You didn’t? Ah, well. You can read it here then. Ted Nugent wants you to know that there are evil people among us and that you should be prepared. There is evil among us, and it will again attempt to execute evil, but the good must always be ready to conquer evil if […]

Now that all eyes are on Sarah Palin waiting for her to respond to accusations that she has a role to play in the amount of political violence in our country recently , she steps into the fray and does something else completely idiotic. In a video comment/response released on her Facebook page today, she had this to say: “Vigorous […]

This is messed up: A nasty battle between factions of Legislative District 20 Republicans and fears that it could turn violent in the wake of what happened in Tucson on Saturday prompted District Chairman Anthony Miller and several others to resign. Miller, a 43-year-old Ahwatukee Foothills resident and former campaign worker for U.S. Sen. John McCain, was re-elected to a […]
