I'm sure that we're all shocked by Rove's support for Republican extremismDid anybody think that Rove would support Powell over Limbaugh? Rove is part of the same Republican machine that makes Limbaugh such a powerful figure in the first place, and he has proven himself willing in the past to support the extremists in the party over the moderates.

Further proof that Americans have an incredibly short memorySeriously, do people forget what this guy did to our country? Tax cuts for the super rich. Patriot Act. Domestic wiretapping. Torture across the globe. Two disastrous and unnecessary wars. Disdain for democracy and contempt for the Constitution. Accusing political opponents of being ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure that you have to apologize at least once before you can have an "era of apologizing" to repudiateWhen is it that the Republicans actually apologized for any of the horrible things they've done? We all know that there are many things that require an apology, but the only thing I've heard about was when Rush Limbaugh demanded an ( Read more... )

If the people of New Jersey elect either of these idiots, then we deserve what we getWhen Chris Christie is the less "Republican" choice in a primary, that really says a lot about the person who's running against him. Christie made his name as a Republican stooge, one of the US attorneys who were appointed by Dick Cheney for the sole purpose of ( Read more... )

Gingrich finally says something intelligent, and of course gets lambasted by the Republicans for itI never would have thought that it would be Newt "Compassionate Conservatism" Gingrich who would finally say what all of us knew but didn't have the platform to say. It has been quite clear for some time that the Republicans were devoid of ideas and ( Read more... )

The lesson here, of course, is that McCain doesn't realize how little people care about his opinionI don't think that any sane person would think that the government was accusing all veterans of being right-wing terrorists. While the military, with its license to kill, would obviously attract people with extreme right-wing beliefs and a thirst for ( Read more... )

Yes, I know this happened a week ago but it's still relevantI swear, Republicans just keep getting stupider by the minute (or maybe stupider like a fox, since it seems to be working for them in Burlington County at the least). This woman is doing her job upholding the Constitution, a job that has to be done, and yet they want to tear her down for ( Read more... )

It never ceases to amaze me how the Republicans forget who got us into this messCastellanos may not have had anything to do with the Bush administration, I really have no idea. He certainly did have something to do with Mitt Romney, who ran like the rest of the Republican lineup on the promise of continuing the failed policies of Bush and Cheney ( ( Read more... )

Finally, a hard-fought victory for sanity in CongressIf Stevens had maintained his seat, it would have sent a bad message about the rule of law in this country. The government tells us to behave and not break the law, and yet this guy gets to keep his seat (until he gets sentenced, of course) even though he broke some of those same laws? Frankly it ( Read more... )

It must be really frustrating being a Republican right now. Four years ago they were the majority party and held control of all of the branches of government; and yet after this week they find themselves with little power, relegated almost to the status of a regional party with no relevance outside of the South and some of the Plains states. Even ( Read more... )
