The Genie Is Out Of The Bottle
The real problem we are facing today is not that the Tea Party is part of the Republican Party, it’s that the Republican Party has been absorbed by the Tea Party. When the GOP lost the middle all it was left with was its fringe. And like all fringe groups Tea Partiers aren’t willing to […]
Why Yes, I Do Intend To Document Every Incident
Here’s the latest: (Via Think Progress) After picking up his 10-year old daughter from school yesterday afternoon, Nashville resident Mark Duren was driving home when he was suddenly and intentionally rammed from behind by Harry Weisiger.

However, every day, at the start of business, the Senate generally agrees, by unanimous consent, to waive this rule and continue with the necessary business of holding hearings. Here […]
Where Do Republicans Go From Here?
Republicans rolled the dice when it came to killing Health Care Reform. And they lost. My question is where they go from here?

Conservative Fantasies
