Poverty In America – More Whites In Poverty Than Blacks
Edward Wyckoff Williams writes: The leaders of today’s Republican Party are expert storytellers. When it comes to manipulating racial stereotypes for political gain, they are akin to animation artists of the 1920s: coloring the lines in black and white.

This primary has an odd air about it because the overwhelming sentiment is that Mitt Romney will win,… Continue reading The Polling Report: Special New Hampshire Edition

Republican Debate – To Romney’s Delight, The Losers Attacked Each Other
