A friend of mine posted this video on Facebook and I took the time to offer my critique. It’s very well done, but I wouldn’t be true to myself if I didn’t argue about a couple of things. First – I strongly disagree with the premise... »

This one is too easy. On the debate stage in Las Vegas Tuesday night, Mitt Romney tried to slip this one pass everyone. Lies like this should be called out immediately for what they are by the moderator. Maybe Anderson Cooper was too busy playing kindergarten... »

Some of the most memorable and troubling moments of the recent Republican Debates have been the conservative audience’s spontaneous and emotional outbursts. They loudly voiced their belief that those without insurance and without the funds to afford care should just simply die. They literally... »

Presidential hopeful Rick Perry had one of the biggest applause lines at the debate the other night when he declared that the stimulus bill created ZERO jobs. The crowd ate it up and the other candidates nodded approvingly. I wonder where Mr. Perry gets... »

With all of the negative energy swirling around Democratic circles recently, I thought it would be a good idea to look back on exactly what was accomplished over the last three years. Rachel Maddow had a great piece on Democratic successes that aired before... »

How many Democratic votes does it take for a controversial bill to become bipartisan? Evidently, not a lot. Immediately after the near party line vote on the balanced budget bill, the Republicans started calling it bipartisan. Yet, only 5 Democrats voted for the radical bill. Just because 5... »

Here we are at the 11th hour of the debt ceiling debate(?) and still we have no sign of intelligent life among the Republican caucus. They have drawn a line in the sand that leaves them unable to pass a bill through both houses... »

There has been some variation of this lie from all segments of the Republican establishment since before the election. The people did speak by voting, but it was hardly a victory for them. The things that people really care about, jobs and the economy,... »

REPUBLICANS WIN! DEMOCRATS LOSE! Those are the headlines, but what does it really mean in the long run. The Republicans have won the battle. However, thanks to Barack Obama and the rest of the Democrats pushing through bill after bill over the last two... »
