One of these men is going to be very, very wrong
Tuesday, March 26th, 2013Tweet There’s a tale of competing headlines this morning. Here’s they are: The first one is from JoeMyGod.com (article here), and the second is from Towleroad.com (article here). Basically, these two men, who are staples of the Republican party, are telling two very different stories about the future of their party. Bush, [...]
What’s Going On In Tennessee?
Saturday, June 23rd, 2012Tweet Reposted from sister site BuryingTheLead.com Something rotten is definitely going on in the state of Tennessee. Specifically when it comes to being black and/or being a registered Democrat. There’s so much that it’s really ugly, and my friend Bev Harris has all the details over at BlackBoxVoting.org. I just want to pull two things from [...]
The Debt Battle – Quantified
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011Tweet You want to know who’s fighting for you? And who’s fighting for the billionaires out there? I thought I’d quantify if for people. And here it is: How’s that? In 2010, there were 308,000,000 Americans in the United States. At that same time, there were 7,800,000 millionaires. Democrats (blue) are fighting for every single [...]
Dear Political Leaders, Regarding Rep. Weiner: STFU
Monday, June 13th, 2011Tweet I’m so sick and tired of the stupid, narrowminded crap that passes for a political message these days. Yes, what Representative Anthony Weiner did was a distraction. Yes, it’s an annoyance. But for the establishment, including DNC Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to call for Weiner’s resignation? Please do us all a favor and shut [...]
What are Republicans up in arms about?
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011Tweet This is ridiculous! The Republican party wants to do away with the EPA, so that polluters can trash our environment. They want to gut Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid to kill off the poor and the elderly. They want to give billionaires even MORE tax breaks – like the ones under Bush worked. There [...]
Another slam from the DCCC
Monday, June 21st, 2010Tweet The old saying, “With friends like this, who needs enemies?” comes to mind when I recently dealt with the DCCC. You see, I took the “Don’t Ask Don’t Give” pledge from AmericaBlog.com. It means that I will not give money to the DNC, DSCC, or the DCCC until I think that there is actual [...]
Underneath the talking points lay hate
Monday, April 26th, 2010Tweet Reposted from sister blog BuryingTheLead.com There is something to be said about the Republican party starting with the 2008 election, and that is their connection to violent speech. Everyone remembers Palin’s comments during the 2008 election cycle where she claimed Barack Obama “palled around with terrorists“, and the fact that she didn’t denounce hate-speech [...]
Unemployement benefits and the big “FU!”
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Tweet Like many Americans, I have been watching the Senate wrangle with the issue of unemployment benefits, and the detestable act that Kentucky Senator Bunning has committed in denying benefits be continued. Then I watched as Senator John Kyl of Arizona, the number two Republican in the Senate, call people that got unemployment benefits “lazy”. [...]
Another difference between Democrats and Republicans
Friday, February 12th, 2010Tweet There has been a great “compare and contrast Democrats and Republicans” list out there for quite a while, and trust me it is great. But recently, something struck me as the biggest difference of them all. Let me tell you about it. And yes, it may sound hokey, but there is definitely a lesson [...]
Things I’ve heard on the passing of Senator Kennedy
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009Tweet You want to see the real difference between a Democrat and a Republican? I know this comes from my observations, but having watched the same thing on right-wing television this morning, I know others have experienced it. Democrats, upon hearing Senator Kennedy has died: He was the lion of the Senate. He was the [...]
