Tea Party Takes Over the Maine GOP
One of the continuing stories/themes these days is just what effect, short-term and long-term, the Tea Party movement will have on American politics in general, and the Republican Party specifically. Mock it all you want (please, mock it…it’s fun!), but the Tea Party is a real force right now. For proof, look no farther (further?) […]

Teabagger Round-Up
There seems to be a lot of news about the teabaggers lately, probably because today is their big protest day.

Anti Health Care Reform Activist Arrested For Death Threats
Those tea partiers are just regular folks and when people accuse them of inciting violence they’re liar, right? Maybe not.

Where Do Republicans Go From Here?
Republicans rolled the dice when it came to killing Health Care Reform. And they lost. My question is where they go from here? Coincidentally, David Frum asked the same question: No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster […]
Brown To Host First Beltway Fundraiser
Ah, more of the same. Tea Party Senator Scott Brown will host his first beltway fundraiser — umm, tea party? — later this month. If you have $1000, you too can attend. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
