Perhaps the Turn Off Fox campaign is having some effect because ratings are heading down for the Republican Tea Party propaganda network that calls itself “Fox News.” Compared to September one year ago overall ratings for the network are down 21% and ratings are down 26% among the youngest demographic. Considering that this September we [...]

Demonization of the government is a corporate interest trick to get average people to unwittingly fight their battles for them. When you hear right wingers talk about “freedom” they aren’t talking about freedom for regular people. They are talking about freedom for corporations and the super rich which conversely usually leads to less freedom for [...]

Some recent Senate polling shows momentum for the Democratic Party. In California, Barbara Boxer now has a 51% to 43% lead over Carly Fiorina according to this poll. In Nevada, Harry Reid now has a 45% to 40% lead over Tea Party lunatic Sharron Angle according to this poll. In Kentucky, Rand Paul’s lead over [...]

The latest Republican Tea Party effort to suppress voter turnout is putting up billboards trying to scare people away from voting. The Republican Tea Party, at it’s very core, is anti-democratic. And I don’t just mean the Democratic Party. They are against the very idea of democracy. They know that they do better the less [...]

“If by liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people–their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties–someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip [...]

Remember how well the Republican’s policies under George W. Bush worked out for America?

[...]

There is strong evidence of that the Republican Tea Party is engaging in voter suppression in Wisconsin yet the media is ignoring the story. They covered the fake Fox News created stories of “voter fraud” regarding ACORN and the race baiting “voter intimidation” by the New Black Panthers but they aren’t covering a real story [...]

This graph shows the movement towards the Democrats in the generic ballot this month: I should note this graph does not include Rasmussen because of their clear allegiance to the Republican Party and their reputation for “narrative setting.” This movement towards the Democrats combined with evidence that generic house ballot polls are actually underestimating support [...]

Every single Republican in the Senate (all 41 of them) stood together for bigotry and filibustered repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell today. Filibustering means they wouldn’t even let the issue come up for a simple majority vote (because it would win with Democratic Party votes.) The Republicans used a procedural rule that was meant [...]

The latest generic house ballot poll from Gallup has the Democratic Party at 46% and the Republican Party at 45%. In the past the Republicans have been up by as much as 10% points in this poll so this shows significant movement towards the Democratic Party. This is very good news for America as it [...]
