The Debt Battle – Quantified
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011You 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 person [...]
Dear Political Leaders, Regarding Rep. Weiner: STFU
Monday, June 13th, 2011I’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 the [...]
What are Republicans up in arms about?
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011This 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 is [...]
Another slam from the DCCC
Monday, June 21st, 2010The 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 movement [...]
Underneath the talking points lay hate
Monday, April 26th, 2010Reposted 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 shouted [...]
Unemployement benefits and the big “FU!”
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Like 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”. This [...]
Another difference between Democrats and Republicans
Friday, February 12th, 2010There 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 to [...]
Things I’ve heard on the passing of Senator Kennedy
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009You 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 reason [...]
Add Vermont to the list!
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009As promised, Vermont’s Republican Governor Jim Douglas vetoed civil marriage equality for all Vermont residents. But this morning, the Vermont House and Senate have both voted to override the veto. This means Vermont is the fourth state to guarantee equal protection to gays and lesbians. No longer are gays and lesbians second-class citizens in Vermont. [...]
The best “Democrat versus Republican” compare and contrast list ever!
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008You gotta love DemocraticUnderground.com. There are some awesome posts over there, but nothing compares to the list found here. To quote a couple of my favorites: * If you grow up in Hawaii you’re “exotic.” * Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential “American story.” * If you are a Democratic male candidate [...]
