President Obama says he was able to connect with small-town folks in places like Iowa in 2008 because nobody expected him to win and he wasn’t viewed through “this prism of Fox News” and other conservative media outlets that made him “scary.”

Yaa, you repukes are not doing so well, huh? Imagine, you repukes control the presidency, both houses of Congress, and appointed 7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices. Yet the Supreme Court thre out sodomy laws in all 50 states and recognized the right of government to seize land for any reason. And you couldn't pass your Social Security changes could you?

Then Faux...

Bush’s giant Right Wing Noise Machine (RWNM) loves to preach about the Bush economic miracle. In fact, the RWNM’s current thinking is Bush doesn’t spend enough time talking about his economic triumphs. If only he did, then everyone would fall in line and believe in the great Bush economic miracle. There is one problem with this argument: it’s a lie. Any way you look at the Bush economy, it comes up short. Today, I want to compare Bush’s job creation record with other economic recoveries. As usual, Bush comes up way short. The national Bureau of Economic Research has identified...

Why does anybody support George w Bush as President? He is clearly the worst President I have ever seen -- a complete disaster. And before you say anything, I have been a registered Republican for 25 years.

(CNSNews.com) - The Committee to ReDefeat the President, a federal political action committee also known as ReDefeatBush.com, is organizing several protest rallies this week, before Members of Congress gather in a joint session on Thursday to count the electoral votes from the November 2004 election. ReDefeatBush promises to examine the "illegitimate election" of President Bush; and it says it will offer a "declaration of intent to reclaim our republic." Among other things, the group insists that Ohio's 20 electoral votes were won by John Kerry. "We expect the electoral votes of four states to be challenged and for the...

Sorry for the cheap vanity - - I don't usually do this but I have become perturbed about something. I am glad to have Sean Hannity on the side of the good guys. He is a tremendous asset to the Republican cause, and he has been particularly relentless and unflappable with many of his liberal guests on Hannity & Colmes. But I have noticed that on his radio show - - at least three times that I have heard directly - - he credits the discovery of the forged "Rathergate" memos exclusively to the denials by Col. Killian's son and...
