New Republican Slogan: It’s Every Man for Himself
Talk about jumping ship. The Times reports that with the GOP for once running seriously behind Democrats in campaign fundraising, Giuliani is offering to hold fundraisers for down-ticket Republicans. But with an important catch — he gets to keep part of the haul for himself. Geez, with friends like this… Party unity, anyone? Update: More […]
Libertarians Storming the GOP Gates
Today, suddenly, the traditional media is beginning to be all a-flutter about Bob Barr announcing his run for the Libertarian Party nomination and barely concealing their anticipation over Ron Paul supporters monkey-wrenching the Republican Convention. Why a-flutter? Well, here’s Newt: “Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told The Times today that ‘Bob Barr will make it […]
Supporting the Troops — IOKIYAR Edition
Nobody ever could have predicted that the upper limit of hypocrisy could continue to find new heights: The wingnut brigade is very slow to signup to theWebb/Hagel GI Bill revision (Warner is also a co-sponsor) But they are lining up to make sure that soldiers cannot buy Playboys at the PX.

David Vitter’s Judgment Sucks All-Around
David Vitter (R-LA) was trying to get away from reporters questions about an affair with a prostitute as fast a possible. So fast, in fact, that he ran over a sign. Impaired judgment becomes you, Senator. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88l3H0QyoZI[/youtube]

When Policy Meets Reality
There have been two revelations in the past week or so that bear some reflection and comparison. Last week, researchers announced that they had figured out a way to make stem cells without embryos. This is good for all of us, as it will keep the abortion/right-to-lifers out of the treatment research for Parkinson’s and […]
Ruh, Roh, Romney is in trouble
The only reason Huckabee is soaring is because everyone else is flailing. Fourth Person Confirms On The Record That Romney Nixed Muslims In Cabinet “He was asked if he would appoint a Muslim to his cabinet,” Keene told me. “And he said, `Not likely.’ He said flatly that it was highly unlikely that it was ever […]
The Capitalists Abandon The Republicans
I honestly am a bit concerned about this story. The shift in power in Congress has resulted in the lobbyist money shifting from Republicans to Democrats, dramatically in some cases. The article has a major weakness, though. It suggests that industry may not be happy when Congress takes on some serious regulatory issues (greenhouse gases […]
First hand Proof what Power does to people…
Senator Larry E. Craig of Idaho, defying the wishes of many in his own Republican Party, said today that he would remain in the Senate through next year despite a court ruling against him in Minnesota, where he sought to rescind his guilty plea stemming from an undercover sex sting. AWESOME!
