This is What Arizona Voters in One District Sent to Office in Washington

We kid you not:
Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery.
As the original material source suggests (and reasonably, if one listens to the actual audio of the statement), it seems that Representative Trent Franks did not really mean [...]
Ignorances and Stupidities are Starting to Come Out — Minnesotans Should Get a Grip
Posted: 20th February 2010 by admin in Big Brother, Congress, Constitution, Government, Political BSTags: brie, chablis, conservatives, CPAC, Tim Pawlenty
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty’s contempt and ignorant sneering is something that should give Americans at least quick pause.
It’s easy to just scapegoat a group, and mix in a few wildly exaggerated and in most cases idiotic stereotypes that appeal to our deepest and most base emotions. It’s the exact opposite of leadership. It’s cowardly, it’s [...]

Posted: 24th January 2010 by admin in Congress, Government, Political Communication, PoliticsThe popular liberal Daily Kos website had this — no kidding around here — as the 3d sentence in a front page Post there today:
Brown’s victory gives Republicans the numbers in the Senate to filibuster most Democratic legislation…
Yes, it does, if one goes by the reasoning of the New Yorker’s Hendrik Helzberg, where the Filibuster [...]

Timothy Egan, in a NY Times column online:
Of course, Martha Coakley, the Democrat who lost in a state where only 13 percent of voters identified as Republicans, ran a campaign that should be a mandatory lesson for all her supporters in Cambridge.
Among other great sins, she belittled the retail politics of her opponent, who stood [...]

Ponder this Headline under Time Magazine’s “Top Headlines” today:
Does Brown’s Senate Win Mean End of Health Reform?
This was the actual title.
And it’s not like Time pulled this out of the blue. Many Democrats and other sources before the election, had been wondering the same thing. Maloney: Health Care Dies if Coakley Loses. Here are a [...]
Who is Chris Matthews Mocking Here?

Chris Matthews says some incredible things at the beginning of this video, but truly, there is little that is more incredible than this statement at around minute :30.
How come you knew that the way to beat these guys was to put em on defense.
The common sense mind boggles. It reels. Very uncharacteristically, it grasps for [...]

Both the Democrats and Republicans are apparently trying to raise money off of the health care “debate” and Congressman Joe Wilson’s, um, unusual “involvement”(causing some to wonder this). This post gives part of the two fundraising solicitations, one from each party:
From this morning’s fundraising email from the NRCC, signed by [Joe] Wilson:

The far right has been constantly complaining about how the “media” has not covered the latest Acorn scandal enough. That is, the fact that the already scandal plagued poverty assistance organization had some random employees caught on film giving rather nefarious business advice to 2 undercover operatives, posing as pimp and prostitute. (The most damning [...]
