To be clear, Supply-side Jesus is not the real Jesus. The real Jesus taught love, inclusiveness, and care for the poor. Supply-side Jesus is the invention of Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians to justify their false gospel of hate, bigotry, and care for the rich (greed). Here’s an example of what I mean from Republican stalwart, Brian Fischer.To be clear, Supply-side Jesus is not the real Jesus. The real Jesus taught love,... more

Somewhere in the depths of the joint planning between the GOP and the corporate PACS, that isn’t supposed to exist, is a Republican with a conscience. He or she prevented the Ricketts Plan, a racially based attack on Barack Obama, planned to coincide with the Democratic Convention, from being carried out. He or she did so by leaking the plan and deserves our thanks. Ricketts is lying through his teeth, and RMoney is etching his sketch so fast that the plastic knobs are on fire.Somewhere in the depths of the joint planning between the GOP and the corporate PACS,... more

Before you say that none of us want to be held accountable today for acts committed in the folly of youth, I agree with you. Also, I am a strong believer in second chances. When evaluating such matters, it is important to make a fair determination of whether the person has grown out of such behavior, or that behavior accurately represents who the person is today. In the case of Mitt Romney, the bully, the latter is easily demonstrable.Before you say that none of us want to be held accountable today for acts committed in... more

I bet most of you remember that during a 2008 campaign rally for John McCain, a woman who had fallen for one of the standard GOP lies, called Obama an Arab. McCain, who had so many character defects that I nicknamed him McConJob, at least had the integrity and character to stand up against the hate speech. On the other hand, in similar incidents during events featuring Sarah Palin, aka Drill Baby Dingbat, she catered to the hate-speakers. Mitt Romney has demonstrated that he is a Palin, not a McCain.I bet most of you remember that during a 2008 campaign rally for John McCain, a woman... more

I can’t tell you how many times I have criticized the Republican Party for their love of violence, especially gun violence. Once again, more people are dead because of it, but this time, the crazy perpetrator is a well known Arizona Republican, and a close associate of former state Senate Majority Leader, Russell Pearce.I can’t tell you how many times I have criticized the Republican Party for their... more

On rare occasions, I see rank and file people on the left calling for violence as a political solution. Whenever I do, I criticize it sharply. However, I have never seen such vile behavior from a leader in the Democratic party, or from someone publicly promoted by a Democratic candidate. That is a Republican tactic, one that we have seen over and over again, from a broad assortment of Republican politicians and pundits. But Ted Nugent has Switch Hit Mitt, who bats from both sides of every plate, in a quandary. He does not like the criticism he is getting as a result, but he does not want to offend the many hate-centered people to whom the Republican Party has pandered to cultivate their support.On rare occasions, I see rank and file people on the left calling for violence as a... more

If someone is looking for sympathy for their high student loans, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) would not be among those providing any support.
According to audio obtained by Think Progress, the congresswoman appeared on G. Gordon Libby show Friday afternoon, saying she “never borrowed a dime of money” during her time in college before lashing out at those burdened with heavy loans.
“I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because there’s no reason for that,” Foxx said. “We live in an opportunity society and people are forgetting that.”
Despite her disgust for high student loans, Foxx is somehow content with high mortgage notes. Think Progress reported that Foxx owed two individual notes up to $250,000.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), who calls herself “a high-value target for the Democrats,” says that President Barack Obama is a “health care dictator” because his administration is mandating that all insurance plans cover contraception for women.
In a recent interview with PolitiChicks, the former Republican presidential candidate told Ann-Marie Murrell that the eventual GOP nominee would be “1000 percent” better than Obama, no matter who that person was.
“We can’t let Obama have a second term,” she warned. “Not because it’s partisan, not because it’s the Republican team versus the Democrat team, but because we are about a better America and we’re about liberty and we’re about a decent chance for the future.”
“I think the number one threat right now is that under Obamacare, we literally are seeing a change in government for the first time in 225 years,” Bachmann explained. “This is the first time that we are moving truly away from a constitutional republic — slamming the door shut on a constitutional republic — and effectively we’re becoming a dictatorship in that we don’t elect a president anymore, we elect a health care dictator, who we saw with Barack Obama with contraceptives.”
“If you look at this issue, it wasn’t just about contraceptives. It was about the fact that now the president of the United States can order all Americans to purchase a product or service against their will whether they want it or not. And he can decide which product or service will be offered and at what price. That’s unbelievable!”
Bachmann added that Obama had been “more dangerous than any other president” because of his foreign policy.
“We’re seeing a hyperkinetic level of level of terrorist activity and Barack Obama has a lot to do with that,” she said, cautioning of the threat of Iranian weaponry “penetrating our southern border.”
“Even today, the president of the United States is calling for reducing our nuclear weaponry by 80 percent,” Bachmann noted. “OK, now think of this: We have Iran, a third-world basket case, trying to nuke up.”
The Minnesota congresswoman went on to plead with viewers to give her re-election campaign the maximum contribution because she had been “the number one target of [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi to defeat.”
“I am a high-value target for the Democrats,” she remarked. “This race unfortunately will be no different. … I need all of your viewers to give the very best donation that they can give — and I think the maximum is about $2,500 per person.”

Michele Bachmann was a guest on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, and she spends some time trying to sound like a legal expert. She tries to gin up some Republican talking points about the allegedly unconstitutional mandate of the Affordable Care Act.
Keep it up, Michele. Every time you open your mouth, we get to remind people that Mitt Romney was the real author of Obamacare, and this plan was designed by the right wing Heritage Foundation:

I have been slow to respond to the killing of Trayvon Martin, because I did not want to rush to judgment, before having sufficient evidence to justify an opinion. In my opinion, the killing was a murder, it was a racially motivated hate crime, and the police tried to cover it up. Here is a small part of the evidence on which I based these opinions.I have been slow to respond to the killing of Trayvon Martin, because I did not want... more

Day after day, Republicans, the party that brought us 9/11, subject us to a constant drone of fear mongering over the danger US citizens face from Muslim terrorists. While that threat, albeit overblown, is real, it is probably not the biggest terrorist threat facing the US, and the Republican Party is doing their level best to inspire and exacerbate it.Day after day, Republicans, the party that brought us 9/11, subject us to a constant... more

The exodus of advertisers from Rush Limbaugh following his hateful misogynous remarks, spearheading the Republican War on Women, has been in the news for several days. Limbarf has shrugged it off, claiming to have advertisers waiting in the wings to take their place. He did.

There have been several new developments is the saga of Rush Limbaugh, the de facto head of the Republican Party, who Republican politicians fear as they kneel to kiss his unholy ring. Silencing Rush is impossible. His mouth is harder to dam than the Mississippi River in flood season. But we may be able to take away his microphone. Here’s the latest.There have been several new developments is the saga of Rush Limbaugh, the de facto... more

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that the de facto head of the Republican Party,Rush Limbaugh, has gone off the deep end in his vile attacks against Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown Law student, whom Republicans prevented from testifying to a hearing on birth control. Democrats have responded appropriately, condemning his remarks. Some Republicans have criticized him in the vaguest possible terms, but none have actually condemned his remarks. In my opinion, there is only one viable alternative for responding to Rush.I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that the de facto head of the Republican... more

You have seen me call, long and often, for the Republican Party to stop making calls for violence, especially gun violence, as a way to solve the differences that exist between themselves and the Democratic Party. I know that I am one small voice of many. Sadly those voices have fallen on deaf ears as yet another Republican US Representative has suggested shooting Senators who disagree with him.You have seen me call, long and often, for the Republican Party to stop making calls... more

Family Values Republicans have a way of proving that they believe their family values must be imposed by force on everyone else, but do not apply to their own behavior. In the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Brewerstan, formerly Arizona, Romney had such a man as the co-chair of his campaign there. Even before the scandal broke, Paul Babeu was problematic due to his extreme hatred of undocumented Latinos and his association with the White Supremacy movement.Family Values Republicans have a way of proving that they believe their family values... more

Before someone accuses me of saying that all Republicans are intellectually substandard, I do not think that is true at all. Nevertheless, we have an ongoing stream of psychological studies that link decreased mental capacity with Republican practices and policies. Personally, I think that the leadership, the Republican politicians and pundits, are quite bright, with a few obvious exceptions. The problem is that they are devious enough to take advantage of their base by promulgating policies, designed to pander to their mental dysfunction.Before someone accuses me of saying that all Republicans are intellectually... more
