Republicans Are the 'Anti' Party
Tweet Share on Facebook March 19, 2013 CommentI have always loved the story of the ad makers and dog food manufacturers arguing around the conference table.

The ad makers were really impressed with their ad campaign, the logos, colors, not to mention the exciting TV ads. The sales force was everywhere, all over the marketplace.

On Sequestration, the GOP Is Choosing the Tea Party Over the Middle Class
Tweet Share on Facebook March 1, 2013 CommentThe Republicans, now led from behind by House Speaker John Boehner, are painting themselves into a tiny corner. Boehner may have secured his job as speaker but he has categorically rejected any hope of a grand bargain, thereby leading his party in a rejection of America's middle class. Unless he can be persuaded by Republican senators and a few dozen of his House colleagues to accept a balanced deal with the president and the Democrats he will severely harm his party by appealing only to the Tea Party.
