My New Rules

Republicans can no longer absolve themselves of the economic crisis when they were in power, and then simultaneously state that now that Dems are in control there's no excuse for…

The Whites Only Paradox

Eighty-seven percent of the votes the Republican nominee won in 2008 were from Whites. Compare that to 1976, when the Republican Presidential nominee's White number was 95%. Number-wise, the Republicans…
