Class Warfare?

Chart data information from the Congressional Budget Office…. I want everyone to take a slow hard look at those two charts. The richest 1% of Americans have done outrageously well over the last 30 years, and especially so over the last 20 years.

Ryan: The "Courageous" Beck Lover

April 6, 2011

Republican officials have been avoiding cuddling up to Paul Ryan's (R-WI) "Roadmap" to ruin for over 2 years. Republicans knew Ryan's plan would gag a maggot and so they distanced themselves from it for as long as they could.

The Audacity of Nope

The health care reform legislation passed this time last year with nary a Republican vote in the affirmative has been lovingly labeled ObamaCare by those who are hellbent on taking America back from it's first black president.

The Long Awaited GOP Ideas

February 5, 2010

During the health care "debate", many Republicans rose to their feet, grabbed the nearest megaphone, and shouted that Democrats were threatening Medicare. Those collectivist Democrats, if one was to believe Republicans, were going to "eliminate services" for seniors on Medicare.
