R.I.P - G.O.P - 1856 - 2009
The Republican Party isn’t quite dead yet, but it lay there in the ICU on life-support; in a persistent vegetative state, with one foot in the grave and the other on the proverbial banana peel. Read More »

Every four years, we put a new tenant in the White House, hoping beyond hope that perhaps things will be different. But things are never different. If we are to have true change in Washington, we must also sweep Congress clean, purging the Capitol of the foul stench of pork and uselessness that’s wafted through there for the last 40 years.

Conventional wisdom holds that comparing a candidate’s voting record to their rhetoric exposes any weaknesses in their commitment to actually do what they promise. But if one desires a truly unvarnished look into the political future under either party, one need look no further than the 2008 National Conventions in Denver and St. Paul. Read More »
