A few ironic stories in the news: In Arizona, Republican Gary Kiehne decided that a primary debate was the right place to blurt out that “99 percent of (mass shootings) have been by Democrats pulling their guns out and shooting people.” Two days later he backtracked and said that he shouldn’t have made the remarks […]
It is almost enough to make you feel sorry for Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Senate minority leader. Almost, but not quite. On one side, the Republican politician and former Kentucky senator who gave McConnell his first job in politics, says that McConnell has betrayed the people of Kentucky by mounting a crusade to repeal Obamacare. […]
© Tom Tomorrow Besides making fun of Sean Hannity and his brief bromance with Cliven Bundy, one has to wonder at the people that conservatives, Republicans, and Fox News promote as shining examples of America. I mean, Sarah Palin was bad enough (and made even worse by actually picking her to run for vice president), […]
Presidential hopeful Marco Rubio in a new interview says I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it. And I do not believe that the laws that they propose we pass will do anything about it. Except it will destroy our economy. […]
© David Horsey There are absolutely no Republicans in the House who believe in man-made climate change, and only a few in the Senate. Even though the recent National Climate Assessment documents significant effects caused by global warming that are already happening, Republicans are in denial. But with huge campaign contributions coming from the fossil […]
Here’s the real Benghazi scandal. In an interview on CNN, Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) says the following: I think what we’re going to hear is that we didn’t meet the basic, minimum standards required for a facility such as the one we had in Benghazi. And the request for more security personnel went unheeded, unanswered, […]
The group Americans for Prosperity — funded by the Koch brothers — is taking heat for several deceptive negative campaign ads they are running. In Louisiana, they are running attack ads against Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu. The ad features a number of people who appear to be Louisiana residents, receiving letters telling them that their […]
Jimmy Fallon and friend make fun of Chris Christie’s “Bridgegate”: Christie may think he was Born to Run, but how is he going to run from this? UPDATE: Fox News defends Christie, leading to a response from Jon Stewart.
The GOP has gone off the deep end. There is no other way to report this than with humor, and Jon Stewart is the best.
Well, if they aren’t racist, then the only other possibility is that they are incredibly naive and stupid.
As Jon Stewart hilariously points out, the same Republican masterminds who fostered and encouraged the Tea Party to take control of the Republican party are now complaining about the monster they created. So, how short is our attention span? Unfortunately, their strategy might just work.
So a question I’ve been asking myself is why did the Republicans fold on both the shutdown and the debt limit, without getting anything in return? I think the answer, as usual, has to do with following the money. Campaign contributions to Tea Party members of the House of Representatives dropped significantly because of the […]
© Keith Knight One of my favorite pieces of advice is that you should never, ever believe your own PR. Somebody needs to tell the GOP. They invented the Tea Party, funded it, and praised it, in order to use it as a weapon against the Democrats. But as the CIA knows all too well, […]
© Brian McFadden Has Ted Cruz become the defacto leader of the Republican party? If not, why are they doing everything he tells them to do?
First the Republicans insisted that they were shutting down the government to save us from Obamacare, which they claim will ruin our wonderful health insurance system. Cough. Then the Republicans changed their minds, and decided that it wasn’t about Obamacare after all, but instead it is about the deficit (even though Obama has been lowering […]
