A few days ago, I reported on a hypocritical Republican policy initiative that would gut Medicare. The Republican “budget roadmap” proposes severe cuts, rationing, and — who knows — maybe even death panels.
But to some Republicans, the problem with the new policy initiative to gut Medicare is that it doesn’t go far enough. Republican Michele [...]
ABC News has a shocking article about how Fire Departments are charging homeowners for the cost of the fire trucks and personnel used to fight their house fires — and how residents are “horrified” when they receive a bill for sometimes tens of thousands of dollars after their home burns down.

Many of the Republican talking points during the Health care reform debate accused the Democrats of trying to ration health care, cut Medicare, and even institute “death panels” that would decide your granny didn’t deserve to live.

Jame O’Keefe became an instant conservative hero last fall when he released film allegedly showing ACORN employees advising him on how to break the law. In the video, he dressed up like a pimp in a cheap X rated movie. However it was later determined that O’Keefe edited the video footage to change appearances. For [...]
Today, the US Supreme Court gave the US a giant push toward fascism (a corporatist economic system, which believes that the majority is unsuited to govern itself through democracy) by declaring that not only do corporations have free speech rights, but that corporations throwing barrels of money at politicians in order to buy legislation is [...]
Do you recognize any of the following quotes from Republican politicians?
“It will raise your taxes, increase the deficit, and kill over one million jobs.” – Joel Hefley (R-CO)
“This plan will not work. If it was to work, then I’d have to become a Democrat. … your economic program is a job killer.” – John Kasich [...]
One of Andrew Sullivan’s readers hits the nail on the head when he says that it is time for a different kind of rage. You should go read it, but I’ll give you a quote to whet your appetite:
Republicans lecturing the country about fiscal responsibilty, economic recovery, governing — or anything else, for that matter [...]
