Reid blasts GOP over ‘wall of blind obstruction’
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) agrees with former Republican Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s criticism of the modern-day Republican Party. On Monday, Bush said Ronald Reagan and his father would be too moderate for the current GOP, which has “an orthodoxy that doesn’t allow for disagreement.” Reid said Tuesday that…
Democrats? Prepare to be Devastated by the GOP’s ‘Devastating’ Ad on the #WarOnWomen
This video is supposed to be devastating. Devastating! Sure, ok — if by “devastating” you meant “Laugh OL ridiculous.” You laughed. Admit it. Either that or you sat there with your jaw agape before you quit watching around the one minute mark because what the crap was that? Sigh. If…
Golden State Of Denial
Some delightful naivete from Rolling Stone’s Chris Thompson on why the GOP’s racial barricade strategy is “doomed to fail” needs to be tempered by some cold, harsh reality.

Presidential culture is more powerful than presidential promises
“There is no significant difference between Republicans and Democrats, so the choice is meaningless.” This claim is trumpeted about by many political lefties, and by those crypto-righties, Libertarians.

Dear Democrats, Progressives, Liberals & assorted American lefties – settle down.
I’ve been seeing a certain amount of glee across my side ofthe internet lately over the fact that Willard McMittington Romney is a terrible candidate. The Republican Party establishment doesn’t like him and never has — that’s been established time and again — and the Republican masses are avoiding him in droves. Whoot! They hate their candidate! Here’s the deal: We knew that.…
Budget Showdown: President Obama threatens to turn this car right around if the GOP doesn’t behave itself
Remember the debt ceiling debacle of last summer, and how the Teanuts were directly responsible for the downgrading of the U.S.’s credit rating? Remember the supercommittee and the compromise, and how it almost killed us dead? Remember how the whole ordeal managed to confuse P.Krugz? Remember the super-secret Christmas debt…
Happy Easter From The GOP, Folks
This Easter Sunday, the NY Times has this Jason DeParle story on red states shredding welfare safety nets and the people who keep falling through them. Faced with flat federal financing and rising need, Arizona is one of 16 states that have cut their welfare caseloads further since the start…
Maddow mocks ‘war on caterpillars’: GOP needs to own up to its agenda
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Thursday night said the Republican Party needed to either own up to its legislative agenda or stop doing it. She mocked the idea that the Democrat’s huge lead among female voters in battleground states was the result of media bias, as RNC chair Reince Priebus…
Reince Priebus: GOP ‘war on women’ is fictional like ‘war on caterpillars’
Reince Priebus is talking out loud again: “If Democrats said we had a war on caterpillars and every mainstream media outlet talked about the fact that the Republicans have a war on caterpillars then we would have problems with caterpillars,” Priebus explained. “The fact of the matter is that it’s…
Dear GOP: You do know how pregnancy works, right?
In light of ABLC’s move to Raw Story, I decided to re-up a couple of posts for our new readers. This is the second of those posts. I have been pregnant four times. These pregnancies led to the following four results, in this order: abortion, baby, miscarriage, baby. These pregnancies…
