Republicans Losing Women Voters
President Obama has emerged with an impressive lead in swing states around the country — thanks to women voters abandoning the GOP in droves, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll showing President Obama leading among women voters in the top dozen battleground states by a whopping 18 points — greater than the 12-point gender gap he won with in 2008.
The House Limbaugh Built And May Have Burned Down
Premiere Networks, which distributes Limbaugh as well as a host of other right-wing talkers, sent an email out to its affiliates early Friday listing 98 large corporations that have requested their ads appear only on “programs free of content that you know are deemed to be offensive or controversial (for example, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity).”
Looking For The Republican Enthusiasm Gap
Then click on Delaware Politics local blog roll. I did, and here’s what I found – basically nothing. It’s almost as if the Iowa Caucuses never happened. David Anderson threw up a post sorta for Santorum and Paul later last evening. It was pretty unenthusiastic. The Daily Borg writes a philosophical post on what winning […]
Republican Debate: Who Won? Who Lost?
Why yes, I did watch, and may I offer my condolences to Republican voters. Talk about a train wreck, but I simply loved the whole apples and oranges exchange. Share your thoughts here.
A Question About Doom And Gloom
There was a theme to this weeks Republican debate. Doom. We are doomed because of Obama. Our economy is doomed. Medicare and Social Security are doomed. Our grandchildren are doomed. Gays will doom our military and our marriages. And on and on it went. So here’s my question… Can someone be elected President on negativity […]
Entitlement Reform
We must have entitlement reform! That’s been the mantra of the Republican lemmings that have been following Paul Ryan toward the horizon. They use the word entitlement like it is some sort of slur. “Why do those people feel entitled to anything?” And just so that we are clear, the entitlements on the table are for the old and the sick.
But I have seen the rise of entitlements in a different way. The way that the wealthy have decided that they are entitled to tax cuts. Why should I have to pay for rising medical costs on Medicare? I’m a job creator! The sense of entitlement is palpable. Tax increases are off the table.
Missing the Boat on Gingrich’s Tiffany’s Issue
I’ll admit it, I am enjoying the epic flame-out of the Gingrich 2012 campaign. Watching him contort himself to prove that he is totally consistent with his 24-hours-ago-self is like paying the extra money to see behind the scenes at the circus freak show. This latest blunder presents a golden opportunity for those of us […]
Calling Them Frauds Is Accurate
Andrew Sullivan nails it. First, let’s read Paul Ryan’s quote: “We’re gonna be reducing all domestic discretionary spending. I can’t tell you by what amount and which program, but all of it is going to be going down, and the aggregate amount will be back to 2008 levels before the spending binge occurred.” Okay, everybody […]
Debt Ceiling “Insanity”
Are there any grown ups left in the Republican Party? Dealing with the debt limit “as adults” doesn’t appear to be going well. This morning, two right-wing lawmakers — Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Rep.-elect Mike Kelly (R-Minn.) — reiterated their opposition to raising the debt limit on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Soon after, Sen. […]
New Republican Theme Song: Thank Heaven For Little Girls
Since this bill had nothing to do with abortion let’s just call it what it is: Republicans are okay with young girls being forced into marriage. Sorry, if that sounds harsh, but that’s what their vote says. Via Steve Benen: FAILING TO PROTECT GIRLS FROM CHILD MARRIAGE…. As Jodi Jacobson explained the other day, “An […]
Gifts for the Person Who Has Everything
Well, Chanukah starts next Wednesday at sundown, so I thought the email with this gift information was just in time. NOT! Here’s the text from the email: With the holiday season quickly approaching, there’s no better time to visit the GOP Store and find truly unique and inspiring gifts for all the commonsense conservative Republicans […]
