Fiscal Conservatives Don’t Want To Cut Spending
Conservatives do a lot of posturing about the deficit, which they only discovered the existence of on January 20, 2009. I remember the good ol’ days of the early Bush presidency when the problem was the surplus. Well, conservatives are apparently extremely upset with the deficit now, but taxes are still bad (in fact we […]
Maverick
John McCain is facing a competitive Republican primary for his U.S. Senate seat. He’s facing wingnut former Rep. J.D. Hayworth and even wingnuttier Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Mike Castle Flip Flops on Stimulus Funds
Flip Flop. Anybody remember when you couldn’t fire up the news without hearing this about John Kerry? And even though that charge was mostly untrue about Kerry, Flip Flop is a good description of Mike Castle’s position towards Delaware stimulus projects.

The GOP Is Soft On Terror
Ever since Obama became president, the suddenly chatty former VP Dick Cheney has been running around beating his chest about how strong he is on terrorism and that Obama is weak. In fact, a lot of criticism for the right is that Obama doesn’t say the word “terror” enough. Ever since the Christmas Day attempt, […]
Hypocrisy Alert!
How did I miss this? Mr. Traditional Marriage, Karl Rove, gets divorced. And… it isn’t his first one. Oh, sweet hypocrisy! So much for those traditional little clauses, such as: “till death do us part” and “that which God has brought together, let no man put asunder.”
Mike Castle: Gutless Hypocrite
Mike Castle, circa 2004: I supported the Medicare Prescription Drug bill because it was a historic opportunity, since the inception of the program in 1965, to add a pharmaceutical discount benefit to the program.
