With economic disparity already at astronomic levels due to the right wing economic policies of the last 30 years, the Republicans want to spread the gap between the wealthy and everyone else even farther by raising taxes on the working poor. The working class already pays a disproportionately high rate when it comes to state [...]

1. President Obama ends the Iraq War (over 8 years since George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” stunt.) 2. Libya dictator Muammar Gaddafi captured & killed. Libya is yet another in a long string of foreign policy victories for President Obama (most notably ending the war in Iraq & the killing of Osama Bin Laden.) 3. [...]

This is what President Ronald Reagan said about what would happen if the debt ceiling were not raised in 1983: “The full consequences of a default — or even the serious prospect of default — by the United States are impossible to predict and awesome to contemplate. Denigration of the full faith and credit of [...]

In not exactly surprising news; Donald Trump announced today that he is not running for President. With Mike Huckabee and now Trump out of the running, the GOP field is starting to become clear: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, & Gary Johnson are in. Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump, [...]

President Obama has been on a streak of good polling results over the last couple of weeks (since his gutsy command to kill Bin Laden) and this new Politico/George Washington University poll adds to it. There are a few interesting results in this polling but the numbers that are most relevant here are general election [...]

President Obama proposed a budget that protects Medicare (leaving the program intact for current seniors and future seniors alike) and allows taxes on the richest Americans to go back up to where they were under President Clinton. The Republican majority in the House passed a budget bill that destroys Medicare and cuts taxes on the [...]

The new Republican majority in the House is up to no good. While they haven’t found the time to bring forth a single bill to help create jobs or improve the economy (and in fact their proposals could cost a million jobs) they have found time to do a lot of despicable things. The following [...]

Virginia Democratic Senator Jim Webb is not running for reelection in 2012. Webb beat Republican George Allen in 2006 and would have likely faced Allen in a rematch in ’12 if he were to run again because Allen will probably be the GOP nominee. Former Virginia Governor and current DNC Chairman Tim Kaine is considered [...]

Today’s Gallup poll puts President Obama at 64% approval. Meanwhile, Dick Cheney is admitting there was never a link between 9/11 & Iraq (he’s over 7 years late on that one, isn’t he?) As long as Dick Cheney is around running his mouth, he will make the Obama administration look good in comparison.

As Obama’s lead in the polls continues to expand, McCain/Palin continue to get more and more desperate. Today they sunk to a new low with Sarah Palin’s disgusting lies regarding Obama & William Ayers. The McCain campaign knows they can’t win on the issues so they think that their only tactic left is to try [...]
