Maryland Republican Found Guilty Of Voter Suppression Charges
Back in June, we brought you this story of two Republican aides indicted on voter suppression charges.

Florida’s Rick Scott – The Most Unpopular Governor In America
Governor Rick Scott of Florida. Remember him? The Republican governor who rode into the state on his white Teaparty horse in November 2010, promising to create jobs and providing every household with an unlimited supply of manna from above?

Book Salesmen And Television Personalities Don’t Really Want To Be President
You listen to these Republicans bitch about the economy, the “failures” of President Obama and how, if given a chance, they would be able to turn things around.

Lies, Damn Lies, and the Truth About Teacher Tenure
Have you heard the latest story about teachers and tenure? No? It goes like this. A teacher was given stellar evaluations for two and a half years.

Newt Gingrich Is Leading – So Much For The Conservatives Claim To Morals
It seems the Christian Conservatives and Republicans have made up their minds. In a party that claims to have moralistic superiority when it comes to family values, Christian Conservatives in the Republican party have settled on Newt this-is-my-third-marriage-after-serving-my-wife-divorce-papers-while-she-laid-in-a-hospital-bed-recovering-from-cancer Gingrich. A new Poll by Public Policy Polling in Iowa found that Gingrich, once left for dead… Continue reading Newt Gingrich Is Leading – So Much For The Conservatives Claim To Morals
Donald Trump Gets Angry – Yells At Chuck Todd In Interview

Mitt Romney Says He’s Not A Career Politician. Let’s Go To The Video Tape
Another superb production by the DNC. This time, taking on the false claim by Republican Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney: “I didn’t spend my life in politics.” Well, maybe not your entire life Mitt, but a huge portion of it was spent in politics, and we’re sure if children were allowed to run for political office, you would… Continue reading Mitt Romney Says He’s Not A Career Politician. Let’s Go To The Video Tape
Donald Trump Calls Ron Paul A “Joke Candidate”
Ron Paul said no to a Donald Trump moderated debate, and Donald Trump fires back. “Ron Paul’s not going to win. He’s got no chance. You have a better chance right now of winning, and you’re not running, and so he’s not going to win. He’s a joke candidate.” Oh the wonders of the Republican… Continue reading Donald Trump Calls Ron Paul A “Joke Candidate”
This Is What They Mean When They Say “I Want My Country Back”
Roland Martin of CNN and the Editor-In-Chief of Roland Martin Reports, published a letter on his blog from someone he called a “bigot.” Curiosity got the best of me, as I wanted to see why someone who worked for CNN would use such a word to describe anyone. A short time later, I realized why… Continue reading This Is What They Mean When They Say “I Want My Country Back”
Will The Gingrich Steal Christmas (Or Is Newt Moot)?
Consider: This has been the year of economic gloom, a devastating Japanese tsunami, an earthquake in Virginia, a hurricane in New England, and a destructive East Coast snow storm before Halloween.

The… Continue reading Will The Gingrich Steal Christmas (Or Is Newt Moot)?
Herman Cain’s Problem? He’s Gay – Steven Colbert
And we thought Herman Cain had a woman (or multiple women) problem all along. Steven Colbert, through a process of elimination, has put his finger on the real issue Herman Cain is hiding. According to Colbert, Cain is gay, that’s why he cancelled an appearance on The Colbert Report. Colbert figured Cain couldn’t stand being… Continue reading Herman Cain’s Problem?
