31 Republican Men Vote Against Reauthorization of Violence Against Women Act
The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act passed the Senate 68 to 31 with one abstention.
That’s What She Said (Part II)
One of the best places for hard-hitting political news is on “The View”. So it should be of no surprise to South Caroline Governor Nikki Haley that she got grilled by some of the best in the business: Barbara Walters, Joyce Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Mediaite writes: She wanted to know about Haley’s […]
Republicans Should Have Learned The Komen Lesson
My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.
That. Is. Not. An. Apology. What that is the classic: Sorry, if you can’t take a joke. I was just being humorous, but you’re too sensitive to have a sense of humor. I was simply making a very important, bigger point, that you’re too stupid to understand. An apology isn’t an apology if you can fit in the word “but.” Go ahead and add that word after Rush’s first sentence. It fits beautifully. And the backlash that’s building around this situation has much in common with the Komen fiasco. Attack women, or an institution women love, and face the consequences. 2012 is shaping up to be the year of the woman.
Rush Limbaugh Will Agree To Contraception Coverage If Georgetown Student Posts Sex Tapes Online
LIMBAUGH: “So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch.” Has any Republican denounced this pervert’s comments yet? Know what, Republicans? Keep going down this path. See you in November.

Here are some highlights, but you need to read the whole article.
How Do We Deal With This?
What’s the solution? I’m serious. Dems held their ground and “tens of thousands” of people are out of work. Republicans don’t care. Yet again they’ve not only taken a hostage they’re willing to shoot, they’ve taken one they want to shoot.
Teabag Congressman and Black Americans
Seems that Congressman Doug Lamborn (Teabag – CO) has a new pet name for President Obama. I wonder why he just didn’t use the N-word or call him boy. From the Denver Post: A short clip of the Colorado Springs Republican speaking about the debt ceiling debate during a talk radio program on Friday went […]
Does Boehner Have The Votes?
Think Progress tallies the numbers and it appears (at this moment) that Boehner is one R vote short. So… will he manage to twist some Tea Party arms and avoid public humiliation, or will the one vote grow into more nays? Not sure, but if he doesn’t have the votes heading into this why would […]
We Hit The Debt Ceiling Today
In case anyone cares. In the meantime, the hostage strategy will continue to play out — Republicans are threatening to create a recession, on purpose, unless Democrats give them a whole lot of unspecified spending cuts. If Dems fail to comply with the demands, the GOP will refuse to act and on August 2, we’ll […]
Majority Favor Formation Of A 3rd Party
A new Gallup poll shows that 52% of Republicans and 60% of Tea Party Republicans favor formation of a 3rd party.
The Idea Of Seniors Shopping For Health Insurance Is Insane
If you have ever had to purchase individual health insurance you know exactly how insane Paul Ryan’s senior health insurance vouchers are. If you haven’t then you might want to read a post I wrote in November 2008. Fact: Individual health insurance is only cost competitive if you’re young and healthy, because health insurance has […]
Those Fickle Independent Voters
Polls show that Congressional Republicans are not popular and that if the elections were held today, Democrats would retake the House.
