Bipartisan Indignation Gives Way To GOP Demagoguery
Posted on 13. May, 2013 by Lucy Raed in Current Events, Politics
It is a rare state of affairs when you find the sane people of the United States agreeing with the Republican reactionary establishment on any point, but it is difficult (or at least politically inexpedient) to come out on the side of censorship in the United States. On Friday officials at the IRS admitted that, [...]
Portman Punts On GOP’s Anti-Gay Party Planks
Posted on 16. Mar, 2013 by Lucy Raed in Current Events, Politics
Rob Portman, a conservative windbag that until recently viewed gay men and women as some sort of second class citizenry, has suddenly decided maybe it isn’t such a bad idea to let those sodomites do what they like, instead of having them “be put to death” (his religion’s solution for that “problem” – see Leviticus [...]
Roe v. Raed: The A-Wassailing Edition
Posted on 23. Dec, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Today’s topic: Political chicanery with a Christmas twist! Dreaming Of A Working Government by Theodore Roe Three years ago I wrote a little ditty about how the Democrat-dominated legislature couldn’t stop writing stupid laws. Now they can’t seem to write anything at all. So, without further ado, I give you my rendition of White Christmas [...]
The GOP “Is Full Of Racists”
Posted on 28. Oct, 2012 by Lucy Raed in Current Events, Politics
The Republican Party “is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of… (that) party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, [...]
Biden “Forcibly” Defeats Ryan
Posted on 14. Oct, 2012 by Lucy Raed in Analysis, Politics
In one of the most clear-cut, decisive victories I have ever seen in a televised debate, Vice President Joe Biden utterly trounced Paul Ryan. The defeat was total. There wasn’t even a smidgen of doubt. Most importantly, it was exactly what the bewildered Democrats needed. After the confusing (and lie-ridden) Romney obfuscation of the first [...]

Republicans Hope For A Rainy Day
Posted on 02. Oct, 2012 by Dominic Godinez in Current Events, Politics
Many months have passed since Mitt Romney became the presumptive Republican Party nominee for president of the United States. Far before that, President Barack Obama and his surrogates were at work defining Romney and the choice that voters will face on Election Day. Yet polls consistently find between five and ten percent of the electorate [...]
Political Contributions by Media Fail Americans
Posted on 26. Sep, 2012 by Dominic Godinez in Analysis, Politics
With six weeks until the presidential election, Mitt Romney is fighting an uphill battle against two opponents. Barack Obama is the main opponent, whom by all economic and foreign policy circumstances, should be a paper tiger on Election Day. His second opponent, which for the remainder of the race is increasingly asserting itself as his [...]
Clint Eastwood Self-Destructs On National Stage
Posted on 03. Sep, 2012 by Lucy Raed in Analysis, Politics
The Republican National Convention was its usual clot of cloying, decrepit and tiresome swill. More money for the rich, less money for the poor, starving and homeless. More money for the overly bloated military-industrial complex (even Ron Paul knows this is bad), less money for college students and the elderly. It was the often repeated mantra of liberty and justice for all… who can afford it. Everyone else is SOL.

It took the boldness and courage of the Speaker of the Senate to shine the light right where it belongs: Mitt Romney’s pocketbook. For centuries in this country men like Mitt Romney have plundered our resources and taxed our infrastructure in the name of “commerce,” which must be rich guy code for “my pocket.” This [...]
