Yesterday the S&P downgraded the US credit rating from AAA down to AA for the first time in history largely because of the Republican Tea Party’s despicable actions during the debt limit fake “crisis” (which they created.) This is the Republican Downgrade. The Republicans took our economy hostage and got what they wanted. The markets [...]

According to new polling most Democrats and independents want to see compromise between the Democratic Party & the Republican Party so that a government shutdown is avoided. President Obama and the Democratic Party have worked tirelessly to try to make that compromise become a reality but no matter how much they offer the Republicans want [...]

Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) says “Shut It Down” (if all of their conditions aren’t agreed to.) This is the kind of behavior you would expect from a hostage taker, not from a political leader. If the Government shuts down, it’s because these Republicans have no capacity for true leadership. They don’t care about the future [...]

A recent PPP poll reveals that a majority of Republicans are “Birthers.” A “Birther” is someone who expresses doubt that President Obama is an American who was born in Hawaii in 1961 despite overwhelming evidence that is the case and absolutely no proof otherwise. There is no more factual basis or logical reason to question [...]

New York (NY-26) Republican Congressman Christopher Lee resigned today after news of his hilarious sex scandal spread quickly across the internet (and onto television.) This has to be the most hilarious GOP sex scandal since Larry Craig played footsy in an airport bathroom. Five More Recent Republican Sex Scandals: Current Senator David Vitter + prostitutes [...]

A new PPP poll makes clear that the only group of Americans who want to see a complete repeal of health care reform is the Tea Party (which is just another name for far right wing Republicans.) While 73% of Tea Party members want to see a complete repeal of health care reform, only 23% [...]

For a long time American conservatives have been calling anything they don’t like “communism” (or “socialism” when they’re a bit soft.) Check out this photo (from the late ’50s or early ’60s I believe) where a bunch of racist white people (oops, I mean “conservatives”) hold signs saying that “race mixing is communism.” Just like [...]

“Take Back America” indeed. It’s hilarious (and sad at the same time) that such a stupid sentiment can be so pervasive in this country in 2010.

While not all of the final results are in, it’s clear that today was a good day for the Republican Tea Party. Through their victories today they have taken control of the House by a good margin and have also made significant gains in the Senate (although the Democrats will retain control.) But now, with [...]

I’m not voting Republican this year because I remember:
