The GOP: divorced from reality

If conservatives don’t want to be seen as bitter people who cling to their guns and religion and anti-immigrant sentiments, they should stop being bitter and clinging to their guns, religion and anti-immigrant sentiments. It’s been a week now, and I still don’t know what those “tea bag” protests were about. I saw signs protesting abortion, illegal immigrants, the bank... [Read more]

Georgia Legislators Believe They Can Nullify Constitution

It wasn’t quite the firing on Fort Sumter that launched the Civil War. But on April 1, your Georgia Senate did threaten by a vote of 43-1 to secede from and even disband the United States.

Friday - April 10 - Political Roundup

I knew it!  I really DO live in the most Republican district in Georgia! Georgia’s 6th Congressional district has a partisan index of +19… and it shows! Charlie Cook notes that Democrats are in a good news/bad news situation heading into the 2010 midterm elections. “The good news for them is that the Republican Party still has horrific ratings — 31 percent favorable, 58 percent... [Read more]

Tea Bagging, Anyone?

Republicans are tea bagging. They’re having tea bagging parties. Republicans want to protest rolling tax rates back to Clinton-era rates and are equating their protests to the Boston Tea Party. So Why am I giggling while I write this and why do most people outside the GOP have a hard time keeping a straight face when talking about it? Read on… ... [Read more]
