Pictures truly are worth thousands of words …
Politicians and media pundits lie. Numbers don’t. Here’s a list of U.S. politicians who have put themselves on television and radio in the past two weeks, arguing vehemently that America should be putting “boots on the ground” in Iraq and elsewhere to combat ISIL: Name Years of Military Service Mitt Romney 0 Tagg Romney (son) […]
Many people are aware of – or have at least heard of – the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, as it’s known. But many don’t know, or choose to ignore, exactly what ALEC is and does. Of Arizona’s 90 legislators, 50 are ALEC members – among the highest numbers of ALEC recruits in the […]
To all my Republican friends, those of you who are faulting Barack Obama and Democrats for “doing nothing while they had a super-majority for two years,” I’d like to present you with something called “facts.” I know this concept is alien to you, but try to follow along as best you can. A “super-majority” occurs […]
It fascinates me to watch (often reluctantly) the endless parroting of Republican sound bites, talking points and blanket statements about the “dangers” of the fiscal cliff. One should not that the same partisan pundits who are bashing the President for having a bad plan are the same malcontents who spent the last year dutifully passing […]

The […]
There are two major reasons for why Mitt Romney is trailing behind Barack Obama in virtually every poll, regardless of the political leanings of the polling entity, and regardless of the “unskewing” of polls that Fox News claims as proof-positive that Romney is actually crushing Obama in public opinion (on the Bizarro-Reverse world). The […]
Apparently, Mitt Romney doesn’t even feel the need anymore to wait until things actually happen before he openly and ignorantly blames President Obama for them in past-tense. Anti-American protests – inspired by an appalling, ignorant, inflammatory and hate-mongering video produced by America’s pre-eminent racist, Koran-burning, nigh-exalted asshole-in-chief “Minister” Terry Jones that blatantly and crudely that […]
What you have heard so far: That Mitt Romney’s vast business experience is what will save America That Mitt Romney’s experience as Governor of Massachusetts is what will save America That Mitt Romney’s superior intellect and brilliant knowledge of business is what will save America That, apparently, the focus of Republicans is “love” That Republicans […]
