The Party Of BP Defeats Unemployment Extension
June 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Democracy, Politics, america
Republicans have succeeded in blocking cloture on the jobs bill. As a result, hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose their unemployment benefits. In a 57-41 vote which saw all Republicans hold the party line, they’ve proven that Americans don’t matter less than electoral politics. In the worst economy since the 1930′s–an economy in which [...]

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

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 [...]
Ron Paul Calls Out GOP Hypocrisy
April 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Democracy, Elections, News, Politics, Republicans, america
GOP congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) speaking at this past weekend’s Southern Republican Leadership Conference(SRLC).

Michele Bachmann Welcomes Sarah Palin… Outside Of Her District
April 7th, 2010 · 1 Comment · News, Politics, Republicans
