Tonight President Obama addressed the nation about the end of the Iraq war: It’s important to remember at a time like this that things could be quite different right now if John McCain had won the Presidency in 2008. McCain wanted the Iraq war to continue and actually said he would be fine with it [...]

Great sign at the Glenn Beck lunatic rally: It’s clear from this insightful anti-Tea Party sign that not all of the 87,000 people who attended the Glenn Beck rally were there to support the whole “take America back to the 1800s” thing.

A PPP poll taken earlier this month set President Obama against five possible GOP challengers (Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, & Chris Christie.) Obama was ahead of all of them in the poll (although the numbers are definitely too close for comfort.) Obama: 45%, Romney 42% Obama: 47%, Huckabee 44% Obama: 49%, [...]

The Republican Party can’t run on their own policy agenda (plans to privatize Social Security and destroy Medicare) because it is so unpopular with voters, so instead they have to try to run attacks against “Tax & Spend Democrats.” But there’s a big problem with that attack: President Obama & The Democratic Congress cut taxes [...]

Rick Boucher is a long serving Democratic member of congress (since 1983) who has been very popular throughout most of his time in the House serving Virginia’s 9th district. On the other hand; his opponent this November, Republican Morgan Griffith, doesn’t even live in the 9th district. For some strange reason Virginia doesn’t require that [...]

The Tea Party is anything but a grassroots movement. It is actually a billionaire-roots movement that has been funded from the get go by the Koch brothers. Who are the Koch brothers? They are two far right wing billionaires (with Bircher roots) who are among the richest people in the world. David and Charles Kochs [...]

President Obama’s latest approval rating (as of today on Gallup) is only 43%. Many on the right are hoping that means Obama is done for and some on the left are quite worried about it. While it’s certainly not good news for the Democratic Party that Obama’s approval rating is in the low 40s, it’s [...]

That seems to be what Michael Reagan (eldest son of Ronald Reagan) is banking on with his ridiculous new @Reagan.com email service that costs $39.95/year. How does he make the pitch? “People who believe in true Reagan Conservative Values are unwittingly supporting the Obama, Pelosi and Reid liberal agenda! What do I mean? Well, every [...]
