The Republican Party is the party of deep, consistent and continual irony. First, the GOP advances economic policies that drive millions of Americans into poverty. They then show their disdain with their rhetoric for the very poor they created. The irony comes in when you realize that the GOP was so successful in driving people into poverty with their economic policies, that those in poverty now make up a sizable chunk of the electorate.

Election Reflection (Updated*)
by J Stepper • • 0 Comments
Update at the end of this article:
On the night of November 6th 2012, the Republican Party was stunned at the loss of the presidential election, and stupefied that they actual lost seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives. In fact, if it weren’t for the gerrymandering of House districts that the Republicans did after the 2010 elections, they would have lost the majority in the House of Representatives. As it was, Democratic candidates in the House got 1.1 million more votes than did the Republican House candidates.

Everything exposed about the Koch brothers in this film is legal. This is what the partisan conservative Supreme Court has brought us with the ridiculous, anti-democratic, anti-America/Americans Citizens United decision. Most legal experts say this decision was one of the worst and possibly the worst decision to ever come out of the Supreme Court.

The Politics Game

No, I do not think that politics is a game. It is serious business and should be approached as such. However there is a political party in this country that does think it is a game: A game to be won or lost.
The election process is to choose the person best suited to do the job. The primary process is to choose the best person to lead in each political party. Then the best people from each party go up against each other in the general election. That is how our elections are supposed to work. Americans want the best person the political process can churn out to lead this nation. This is how the Democrats pick their nominees. Not so for the Republicans.
The GOP’s Big Investors
by J Stepper • • 0 Comments
Remember when America was a democracy?
This is what the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court has done to what used to be a democracy. Our national elections are now going to be decided by less than a dozen people. Thank a Republican or a Conservative for selling our democracy to the highest bidder. Don’t forget the Supremely Corrupt Corporate Court (Supreme Court), in your thanks for getting rid of our pesky democracy thank you card.
This is what happens when good people stand by and do nothing:
