A republican courageous enough to meet jon stewart

Alysrazor Tornadoes – DO NOT run in circles morons
Watch this video and tell me if running in circles like an idiot looks easier than this. How conventional wisdom (at least on youtube) became, “Run in circles like a crack whore looking for a fix” – I’ll never understand. Is that the sheep syndrome?

Documents show who the major oil speculators in the gas price run of 2008
Hedge Funds, Banks, Oil Producers (such as the Kochs) This is who’s driving up the price of gas, unrelated to supply and demand. If you drive 10,000 miles per year, gas at $4 (speculation driven) instead of $2 (supply and demand), your cost goes from $1,000 to $2,000. This unrepresented Tax on every driver in [...]

This should make your blood boil
Republican governors are trying to rig the electoral college in their states ahead of the 2012 election. The GOP controls both houses of the state Legislature plus the governor’s mansion—the so-called “redistricting trifecta”—in Pennsylvania. Congressional district maps are adjusted after every census, and the last one just finished up. That means Pennsylvania Republicans get to [...]

Pitching
Look around the major leagues. There’s exciting pitching everywhere. The question is, did the pitching get that much better, or is the reduction in PED’s making pitchers look better? SF Giants Lincecum, Cain, Bumgardner, Sanchez and Surkamp. Granted Surkamp is unproven at the MLB level, but there’s not an easy game in that rotation Phillies [...]

Do conservatives have a single valid complaint about President Obama?
Help me out if you think you have heard a valid complaint. “he’s socialist” – plainly bullshit “I don’t like his spending” – its crap. Obama’s ONLY legislation that adds to the deficit is the stimulus – which is less than 1/3 the cost of the bush tax cuts by themselves. Conservatives have been trying [...]

Right-Wing media crying wolf, again
They always do this. Every election. How are fox “news” viewers so stupid? In advance of a special election in New York’s Ninth Congressional District, Fox News and National Review Online are raising the specter of voter fraud in case a Democrat wins the seat. In fact, the evidence they are citing has been debunked, [...]

More right-wing propaganda than usual?
Seems like it. And the reason for that may be summed up by the following quote. “Obama is on the ropes; why do we appear ready to hand him a win?” senior House Republican aide That is in reference to Obama’s proposed jobs plan – again republicans don’t care about the country. Republicans think they [...]

What does the United States get for our billions in giveaways to big Oil?
Aside from their propaganda campaigns, of course. From 2005 to 2010, Exxon, BP, Chevron, and Shell dumped 11,200 U.S. employees while raking in $546 billion in profits. http://thinkprogress.org/green/2011/09/09/315625/big-oil-kills-jobs-for-profits/ While we gave them approximate 40 billion (for being big oil), they dumped US employees and made over half a trillion dollars. Thats BULLSHIT.

IMPORTANT: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left The Cult
“To those millions of Americans who have finally begun paying attention to politics and watched with exasperation the tragicomedy of the debt ceiling extension, it may have come as a shock that the Republican Party is so full of lunatics.” “But the crackpot outliers of two decades ago have become the vital center today: Steve [...]
