I would like to point you to this really interesting article at Gawker of all places, called Scientists Explain Why People Vote For Republicans. The tone of the article is funny and tongue-in-cheek but it points to three real scientific studies, discussed below. The first was a study by John Alford and published in the […]

Obama Reminds Republicans Of Their Free Enterprise Mantra

Republicans Expand War Against Sotomayor To Latinos

Filed in National by on May 29, 2009 35 Comments

What in the world are they doing?  How exactly do Republicans think that expanding the fight against Sotomayor to include La Raza is a winning strategy? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZgtxwqGDiQ[/youtube] (h/t Think Progress) BTW, La Raza’s slogan is “Strengthening America by promoting the advancement of Latino families” not, as Tancredo says, “All for the race. Nothing for the […]

As if the Republican Party hasn’t purged enough.  Inhofe brings on this gem. “Of primary concern to me is whether or not Judge Sotomayor follows the proper role of judges and refrains from legislating from the bench. Some of her recent comments on this matter have given me cause for great concern. In the months […]

Oops! RNC Accidentally Releases Their Sotomayor Talking Points To The… Media!

Filed in National by on May 26, 2009 21 Comments

Honestly, can these people walk and chew gum at the same time?  At the very least they should consider banning their members from using technology. Whoops. The Republican National Committee (RNC) has apparently inadvertently released its list of talking points on the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Included on the released […]

Via Think Progress: This morning on CBS’s Early Show, RNC Chairman Michael Steele strongly endorsed Rush Limbaugh’s reaction to Sen. Arlen Specter’s (PA) decision to leave the Republican party. Limbaugh had responded to Specter’s departure by calling him “dead weight” and claiming that it said “nothing about the state of the GOP.” Steele said that […]

Republicans Waste Away

Republicans Waste Away

The numbers tell their own story.  Only 21% of those surveyed now identify themselves as Republicans.   In March the number was 25%.   Last November…  32%. Conservative enough for you? These numbers are appalling, and, I’m beginning to think, irreversible.  But the GOP has no one to blame but themselves.  You guys wooed these […]

First, McCain states that “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” – and the economy tanks. Then Jindal mocks volcano monitoring – and Mt. Redoubt erupts. Now, Susan Collins cuts flu pandemic preparedness from the stimulus – and Swine Flu hits. What next?  Will high-speed rail sweep the nation?  It’s bad enough being wrong in […]

Boehner blames cows for Global Warming. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te3J5Rd-jf8[/youtube] Words cannot express how sick I am of Republicans donning lab coats in order to play scientists on television.  Global Warming is not a political argument, but I’m beginning to think that everything is political to Republicans.  They are solutionless on all fronts – Worse, they’re actually proud […]
