Republican David Frum gives a devastating critique of Mitt Romney’s failed candidacy. Here are a few of the gems; Romney instead is following the Walter Mondale approach of knuckling his forehead to every interest group in the party. Each succeeding act of submission makes him look weaker. Romney has now wholly identified himself as the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Others have noted that the Republican process for […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Top Republican Says Romney and Other Republicans are “appealing to people’s fears and emotion”
on February 24th, 2012 at 11:50 amThe former governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, doesn’t like what he’s hearing from the Republicans running for president. I watch these debates and I’m wondering, I don’t think I’ve changed, but it’s a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people’s fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Romney Sees Severe Arizona Immigration Law a “Model” to be Followed
on February 24th, 2012 at 11:30 amMitt Romney just doesn’t care what anyone thinks, he just doesn’t like Mexican-American immigrants. He made that clear at Wednesday night’s debate in Arizona where he pandered to right wingers like Sheriff Joe Arpaio. You remember Arpaio, America’s worst sheriff, a man whom the U.S. Justice Department says discriminates against Latinos, who engages in uncontitutional […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Is It Ethical For Republicans to Drum Up a War With Iran and Then Complain About Rising Gas Prices?
on February 23rd, 2012 at 11:57 amLet’s get this straight, Fox News and all the Republican candidates for president, except Ron Paul, want to bomb Iran. They wanted this in the summer of 1998 and gas prices rose just as high under George W. Bush. Do they not know that this drumbeat to war gives their financial friends a chance to gouge the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

CNBC investigates the strangely intersecting world of right wing billionaires trying to buy our election. Some of the superdonors, like Mr. Simmons and Robert J. Perry, a Texas homebuilder, are longtime backers of independent groups that were active in past campaigns, like the Swift Boat group, which in 2004 challenged the Vietnam War record of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Robert Reich breaks it down; Speculators have pushed crude oil to $105.28 per barrel, up 35 percent since September. Brent crude, Europe’s benchmark, is now $120.37 a barrel – also worrisome because many East Coast refineries use imported oil. Funny, I don’t hear Republicans rail against speculators. Could that have anything to do with the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Billionaire Harold Simmons Comes to the Aid of the Republican Party
on February 21st, 2012 at 2:35 pmThank goodness there are good samaritans like Harold Simmons. No, not the kind of good samaritans that help the sick or the needy, the kind that fight to protect the insanely low 15 percent capital gains tax on their leverage buyout deals. Meet Harold Simmons, a mult-billionaire who doesn’t really care what you think. Dallas billionaire […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Billionaire Meg Whitman became the latest member of the uber-rich to donate part of her hard-earned billions to Republicans. Whitman scribbled out a six-figure check to “Restore Our Future”, a Super-Pac that can raise unlimited amounts from America’s upper class to try and influence the outcome of our elections. It was also announced that multi-billionaire Peter […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In another blow to his election chances, Latinos are distancing themselves from his harsh stance on Immigrant Americans. While stressing the Mormon faith’s historic connection to converting immigrants, Latino Mormons point directly to immigration stories in the Book of Mormon and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ recent statements against policies targeting immigrants.

Mitt Romney came to promence when he was picked to be the figurehead of the Utah winter olympics. Romney has bragged about how he was able to get federal funds for the games which seems to go against his present stance on government bailouts. Rick Santorum noticed this as well. “He heroically bailed out the Salt […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Boy, do Republicans hate trial lawyers. “Frivolous lawsuits,” they spit, “are killling our economy.” Turns out that was just what they were saying because big business wanted them to say it, they didn’t really believe it. Rick Santorum is a case in point. Rick Santorum has often called for limits medical malpractice lawsuits, but back […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“…we’re out of Iraq and hopefully we’ll be out of Afghanistan soon,” he said. Rattling off more of Obama’s accomplishments, Springsteen said, “He kept GM alive, which was incredibly important to Detroit and Michigan, and he got the healthcare law passed, although I wish there had been a public option and didn’t leave the citizens […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Oh boy, when Republicans think they have an issue to exploit, they are quick to jump, with no worries about balance or consistency. Take the contraception rant they went on last week. Every Republican who thought they could gain the flimsiest of votes decided to join arms with the Catholic Bishops, a group outraged that their hospitals should […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Do you know how you say “no” in Spanish? Marco Rubio sure does. This CNBC-T Party favorite say’s no every chance he gets. Rubio has become the face of the Republicant Party. Instead of doing the job of a U.S. Senator, Rubio has decided to seek short-term political gains by obstructing the business of government. Rubio’s latest gambit […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It seems that the Republican Party has become so anti-Latino that it’s willing to squealch one of their own to send a message to its base. By all accounts, Adalberto Jose Jordan is a Republican. Nominated by the so-far-right-he’s falling off Florida Marco Rubio, Jordan fled Castro at age six and was a clerk for conservative Supreme […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Last I checked, women constituted over half of the American people. You wouldn’t know it if you watch how the Republican Party treats them. It’s not just how they want to decide a woman’s reproductive future, or how they view women as too emotional to serve in combat, it’s much more than that. Women have justifiably […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Santorum Takes Heat For Saying Women Add Emotions to Combat Equations
on February 13th, 2012 at 6:48 pmVirginia Gov. Bob McDonnell knocked Rick Santorum on Monday for saying he had “concerns” about women serving in frontline combat and cited his own daughter’s experience in the military to refute what some have characterized as the presidential candidate’s suggestion that women are less capable of performing combat duty. “I like Rick Santorum a lot.

Lately, we’ve had certain Republicans and Supreme Court justices arguing that corporations are people and that they have the same rights as people, specifically the right to free speech, the right to spend unlimited amounts of money for political causes. Why is this idea incorrect? You would think it would behoove a corporation to get involved […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Mitt Romney would like us to think that he just lied when he ran for governor of Massachusettes. All that talk about choice and public health care was just flack he was spraying in order to win public office in a Democratic state. He wants us to believe that he was just giving the people […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sharia is the religious and social laws of Islam. It’s influence extends to the mosque all the way to the hospital. It’s God’s law as interpreted by Muslims.
