Good Grief!

© Nick Anderson After blaming just about everyone in America for our woes (gays, immigrants, women, Democrats, non-whites, …), I guess it would be too much to expect the GOP to do anything other than blame everyone else for their election loss.

Giving in to Terrorism

I love a good rant, but (despite the poor spelling) this one makes an interesting point. Republicans, including Mitt Romney, are saying that you shouldn’t vote for Barack Obama because if Obama wins, then the Republicans will hold the country hostage. How is that any different than surrendering to terrorism? Years ago Mitch McConnell, R […]

Learning from History

The blog “4 Quarters, 10 Dimes” is run by a historian who specializes in the political culture of the early USA, so — as he says — “I actually DO know what this country was founded upon”. For most of his life, he as been an independent, voting for whichever party’s candidate he agreed with. […]

Loopholes

The Village Voice has an excellent article listing “the ten most corrupt tax loopholes”. Mitt Romney says he will balance the budget (while cutting taxes and increasing military spending) by closing tax loopholes. But he won’t tell us which loopholes. For example, the loophole that allows Apple to pretend they are an Irish company and […]

Why Romney Is Losing and Why He Still Might Win

Robert Reich has two interesting new articles in his blog that you should read. The first one is an analysis of why Romney is losing the election. The conservatives are already trying to spin this as Romney’s fault. He is a bad politician running a poor campaign, and most of all, he isn’t conservative enough. […]

Slumming the Republican Civil War

In New York magazine, liberal Frank Rich reports on his experiment of immersing himself, “listening to, watching, reading, surfing, and otherwise gorging on conservative media” during the week of the Republican national convention. His conclusions do not paint a pretty picture for the future of the Republican party. My favorite quote: What did I learn […]

Fact Checkers

© Tom Toles I love this image of Republicans playing a shell game with the media. While it does seem to have become particularly easy to confuse the mainstream media, the barrage of lies coming from the Republican party is un-Mitt-igated. Even more ironic is that even when confronted with their lies, the Republicans keep […]

9/11 Negligence

Today is the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and here’s something to remember. Kurt Eichenwald gained access to some of the daily security briefings that were given to the White House in the weeks before the attack, and other classified documents, and has “come to an inescapable conclusion: the administration’s reaction to what Mr. […]

Return on Investment!

The Center for American Progress gives a good example of why people like casino magnate Sheldon Adelson are willing to throw so much money at Republican candidates. Adelson says he plans to spend $100 million to get Mitt Romney elected. That’s on top of the money he spent on Newt Gingrich, and doesn’t count the […]

We Obstructed This!

© Jim Morin In repeated polls taken over the last year, a plurality of voters agree with the statement that Republicans are deliberately “stalling efforts to jumpstart the economy to ensure that President Obama does not win re-election“.
