30% want repeal. 35% want it changed to do more. In addition, 14% want it to stay the same, and only 11% want it changed to do less. That shows 49% support or desire for more action, and only 41% support for weakening or repealing. Will the GOP listen to the American people, as they...

Today, on a party line vote, the Republican Party blocked a rule that would require disclosure from House members on whether or not they are taking federal health care benefits. They want the government health care, they just want to leave YOU at the mercy of the insurance companies. Why...

Many of the tea party candidates won office by claiming that Barack Obama and Dems in Congress don't listen to the will of the people. Are they ready to listen to the will of the American people by increasing taxes on the rich and cutting defense to balance the budget? Considering their...

Earlier this week, Newt Gingrich proudly proclaimed He was aplauded by his Republican audience. Its unclear WHY Gingrich would pick this time to make such a public break from Republican messiah Ronald Reagan, who said in his address to the United Nations in 1982. It is unclear why Gingrich...

Well known bigot Tom Tancredo is at it again. Apparently still fuming that hatred of non-whites wasn't enough to get him the nomination in the Republican party, let alone the Presidency, he has lashed out at Sonya Sotomayor with an extremely angry, and patently false, rant. Not content with...

really? this is what we're going to have on the bench, interpreting the Constitution?

Dick Cheney claimed that he formally requested that the CIA release documents that would show the good info we got from torturing people (which in his mind would apparently justify breaking the law and destroying a cornerstone of America's ideals). Setting aside, for a moment, the fact that we...

Continuing Republican political games in the face of economic crisis cause a major dip in stocks today, despite moves forward by a bipartisan coalition of Senators to pass the economic recovery package. Their dishonesty and political gamesmanship in the face of serious problems have caused...

John McCain supporter Charlie Crist will be appearing with President Barack Obama tomorrow in Florida to pitch the tax cuts and reinvestment act. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/02/09/gov-crist-to-join-obama-at-townhall-meeting-to-pitch-stimulus/ Now that Crist sees that John McCain is...

http://www.democracycorps.com/download.php?attachment=dcor102408.pdf Perhaps there is a reason why Rush Limbaugh's desperate attacks and smears on Obama were such a spectacular failure during the election- he is less popular with Americans than even the boogeymen he tried to attach Obama to-...

After violating CBS' standards by misleadingly cutting a clip of Katie Couric and experiencing political backlash because of the blatant dishonesty of their "pig in lipstick" smears against the Obama campaign, the McCain campaign tried to do things a little more subtly... they ran an ad called...

If McCain is so concerned that he isn't getting enough coverage, why is he canceling his press availabilities? Could it be that he can't seem to get through an interview without making a major mistake on his supposed area of expertise...

John McCain, in an attempt to pad his electoral hopes by distancing himself from the wildly unpopular President Bush, has made the claim that he was the greatest critic of the initial strategy in Iraq. McCain has already shown a propensity for stretching the truth, or changing positions on a...

Yet another flip flop in the growing litany of issues McCain seems to be unwilling or unable to take a principled stance on. In 2006, McCain had this to say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icooZ4PTM60 for those unwilling or unable to watch video, he responds to ""Do you think that American...

McCain came out with quite a whopper today- Apparently Iran-Contra never happened. And, of course, the fact that the release of the hostages was negotiated under Carter and ONLY IMPLEMENTED after Reagan took office. It had absolutely nothing to do with Reagan's talks and deals with Iran...

Democrats increase their majority in the House tonight in the unlikliest of places- rock ribbed red district 6 of Louisiana came in tonight with a win for Democrat "Don" Cazayoux over Republican Woody Jenkins. This is an important pickup for the Dems, and a blow to Republicans- both now, and in...

A new survey has found that more voters are concerned about McCain's ties to George W. Bush than they are about Obama's ties to Reverend Wright, or even the prospect of Bill Clinton being back in the White House... Guess running for a third term of the failed Bush Administration is a bigger...

http://www.stjoenews.net/news/2008/apr/24/constitution-party-convenes-kc/ what do you think? will this be a problem for McCain? Will he run strong enough to get in the debates and get made a fool of by Obama again? What effect will Keyes have on the race?

In an absolutely STUNNING upset, Democrat Bill Foster takes the rock-ribbed Republican IL-14 district House seat vacated by Denny Hastert, defeating Republican Jim Oberweiss convincingly. This was an important race, one which Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain both took time...
