It’s now become the calling card of the Republican presidential candidate to say the entire election process is “rigged.” The same process that took a “new-comer”, “outsider”, “non-political businessman” from his mansion in Manhattan and turned him into a presidential candidate, is now all of a sudden, “rigged!” That rigged system allowed Donald Trump to… Continue reading Donald Trump Tells Voters System Not Rigged if it Helps Him Win

Now that we’ve got some room to breathe a bit until the New York primary hits with full force this week (that’s when the ads will start running), it’s worth looking at the present election season and asking, “Is this democracy?” I’m sure the rest of the world is following the elections and is wondering… Continue reading It’s April 2016: Do You Know Where Your Vote Is?
Political Junkies Unite! It’s Time to Vote
I predict that the global rise in temperature will show a significant decline on Monday as all the hot air bloviators, pollsters, consultants and media talking heads hold their steamy breath as they await the results of the Iowa caucuses. And why shouldn’t they? The numbers all say that Donald Trump will win the caucuses… Continue reading Political Junkies Unite! It’s Time to Vote
Panderer-in-Chief – Ted Cruz Continues to Pander for the Evangelical Vote – Video
Donald Trump secured the endorsement of Pastor Jerry Falwell Jr. I don’t know why because as far as I know, the pastor should be teaching and preaching about love and compassion, and not the hate mongering shown by Trump and his campaign. That said, Ted Cruz, a man who can be considered the best panderer… Continue reading Panderer-in-Chief – Ted Cruz Continues to Pander for the Evangelical Vote – Video

The Most Important Election of Them All
Well, yes and no. Aren’t all presidential elections the most important election in history? It certainly feels that way, especially if you listen to the media buzz that emanates every four years.

The Political Muddle
If the sentiments expressed in this article in the New York Times today is any indication, then the Democrats are in deep trouble in the November Senate elections.

Elizabeth Warren to Women – We Must Vote in November
Senator Elizabeth Warren has been on the campaign trail recently, trying to get as many Democrats elected in Congress as she possibly can. And with the midterm elections just around the corner, Warren is calling on other women voters to go to the polls and make a difference. “If you don’t have a seat at… Continue reading Elizabeth Warren to Women – We Must Vote in November
Go Home
I came across this article by Fred Barnes in The Weekly Standard because I happened to be trolling around right wing sites and thought he had a provocative, interesting idea. I also found a site that castigated Progressives for Palin Derangement Syndrome. You know, that knee-jerk negative reaction the left has whenever Palins’s name comes… Continue reading Go Home
Laura Ingraham Thinks… Oh, Nevermind… She Doesn’t
I was going to name this post, “Laura Ingraham Thinks Black People Voting is Pointless,” but who am I fooling. Laura Ingraham does not think, so the title would have been absurd. As she filled the seat of Fox’s Bill O’Reilly, who was missing in action, Ingraham focused on the voter registration efforts going on… Continue reading Laura Ingraham Thinks… Oh, Nevermind… She Doesn’t
This Black Man Got Arrested for Encouraging People To Vote
At one point in our short history, voting was a right. A right people fought and died for. But thanks to Republicans and their massive voter suppression drives, encouraging people to vote these days is now seen as a crime, a crime that landed Ty Turner behind bars on Monday.
