For the first couple of years of the Obama administration, as employment levels were stagnantly high, the GOTP constantly mentioned the numbers as "proof" of Obama's failures. Then the numbers started going down. Suddenly, the numbers were suspect, they were rigged, they were unbelievable. Except, of course, for any month since when the numbers ( Read more... )

Sean Hannity of Faux Snooze had six people on to tell how terrible the ACA was for them. The only non-surprise: He lied and most of them lied. As pointed out in a Salon article, it just didn't really have a basis in any reality other than folks hate Obama.

The Republican hostage taking has ended -- for now. They don't like how democracy works, so they tried an end-around. Then they tried to blame Democrats. If would just be pitiful if they weren't so dangerous to our nation ( Read more... )

For working Americans. The GOTP is at it again. 30 million uninsured, but they want to shut down the government because the ACA threatens to help many of those people.

The Texas legislative branch about pass a law that would restrict almost all abortions and shut down most clinics. Perry, of course, will sign it. Of course they're against women. However, that's not the only problem with the law ( Read more... )

The House just passed a far reaching anti-choice bill knowing that it would go no where in the Senate. They claimed jobs were the big issue, but they do nothing about that. Instead, they continue to show that they wish it to be known that they're far outside the mainstream of American society. They live in a fantasy world where men are men, women ( Read more... )

Another great way to show the 180 that Republicans have done on almost everything when the color of the President changed from white to black is in the clip on this HP article. We knew about government surveillance and data mining under the Patriot Act during Shrub's time in office. There weren't enough safeguards then and there aren't now. However ( Read more... )
