Can you remember back just over one year ago when the Republicans were electing the chair of the Republican National Committee? The last three choices came down to Michael Steele, the guy who was a member of an all-white country club and the guy who sent the “Barack the Magic Negro” song to his buddies for Christmas.

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley (R) is going to hold up several Treasury Department nominees because he wants leniency on tax evaders and lawbreakers reports CQ Politics. Grassley and other lawmakers […]

Looks like the always interesting Michael Steele did a photo shoot with the Republican party interns. Please don’t drink liquid while viewing the pictures.

No Wonder Rick Perry Wanted To Secede

Filed in National by on October 14, 2009 6 Comments

Uh oh.  Better hope he didn’t kill an innocent man. Since the fire, arson science has been revised, and indicators that investigators used at the time to find that Willingham set the fire have since been discredited. In the past five years, at least six arson experts have examined evidence in the Willingham case and […]

The 2012 Republican Presidential Waters Are A Little Stagnant

Filed in National by on August 12, 2009 12 Comments

Add Rick Santorum to the lackluster list of Republicans seeking the Presidency – and I do mean lackluster.  Take a look at who’s in the running. Huckabee, Gingrich, Romney, Palin, and now Santorum.  There’s also talk of Thune, DeMint, and Cantor. Not sure about anyone else, but I’m feeling pretty good about this line-up.  BTW, […]
