Joe Barton, Big Oil Protector

June 18th, 2010 · No Comments · News, Politics, Republicans

Congressman Joe Barton, in a fifteen minute soliloquy, caused widespread consternation, anger and disbelief.  His sincere and carefully worded apology to BP was well thought out and well crafted, contrary to his forced retraction.   Barton’s outrage shook the foundations of Republican leadership.  Why?  It’s not because Barton’s words dripped of callousness toward the Americans losing [...]

Harley Brown’s Conservatism Gives GOP Hope For The Midterm Elections

April 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Political Fringe, Politics, Republicans

I wrote a piece back in November about George Hutchins, prospective congressional candidate from North Carolina–and the worst website ever to gain an IP address.  I initially shrugged off Mr. Hutchins and his candidacy, mainly because he was a lunatic birther war monger, who had a penchant for quoting 1970′s sitcom characters.  Clearly the GOP’s [...]
