During the 2010 election, Republicans promised to not just repeal the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), but to replace it with with some fairly specific things: allowing insurance companies to sell health insurance across state lines (increasing competition), tort reform (reducing malpractice insurance costs for doctors), and expanding health savings accounts (shielding money spent on health […]
Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele repeatedly claimed that 99% of Pennsylvania voters had a photo ID that would allow them to vote. But now that they passed their voter ID law, Aichele’s department did a cross check of the voter registration rolls against the database of people with state ID (typically driver’s licenses). […]

© Jen Sorensen Is it really stupidity? I thought they were doing it on purpose, to kill the unions.
© John Jonik I don’t know what conservative and liberal mean any more. Once upon a time, the party of Lincoln was the party of civil rights. Later, the party of Teddy Roosevelt was the party of conserving the environment. The party of Eisenhower built the national highway system and warned us about the dangers […]
The RNC is attempting to reach out to Hispanics by creating a website RNCLatinos.com. Here’s a partial screen shot: There’s just one problem. US News and World Report recognized the photo of the children as a stock photo from Shutterstock. The tags for the photo include the words asia, asian, japanese, and thailand, but not […]
It looks like we will have a showdown in the near future. The White House has stated, as clear as they can, that Obama will not support an extension of the Bush Era tax cuts for Americans making more than $250,000 a year. Period. And Republicans have sworn to not “raise” taxes, even if it […]

© Jim Morin The GOP solution of “starve the beast” and tax cuts for the rich didn’t work for Greece. Heck, it didn’t work for us just a few short years ago. In fact, it has never worked. So why do voters keep believing them? I realize the following numbers only reflect which party controlled […]
© Mike Luckovich Sometimes I try to figure out from what Mitt Romney says what kinds of things he would do as president, but quickly realize that I have absolutely no idea, since Romney seems to be willing to say just about anything that is politically expedient. The best I can figure is that he […]
It looks like the Republican nominating process is even more of a mess than we already knew it was. In fact, there is a chance that it isn’t actually over yet. For example, first Romney was declared the winner in Iowa, then Santorum, and now it looks like Ron Paul actually won. In 1920, Warren […]
© Tim Campbell Is it too late to turn the Republican Party around?
In an interview Sunday night, former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman had some things to say about the current state of the Republican Party. At his first presidential debate, he was struck by the question “Is this the best we could do?” Apparently it was, since any deviation from party dogma was swiftly punished. When he […]
