The Republicans love their “trickle down” theory. This theory, for the uninitiated, can be described as “terms of political rhetoric that refer to the policy of providing tax cuts or other benefits to businesses and rich individuals in the belief that this will indirectly benefit the broad population.”
Interesting idea, but why hasn’t it worked? The [...]

Geez, I never thought I’d have to resort to being an “image consultant”, but the republicans are becoming soo retarded in that respect that I just have to jump in. Take a look at the picture on the right. You probably know that you’ve seen him somewhere. You might think he’s one of those Wall [...]

Christian Conservative Right, would you like to get back in the game? Maybe win a few elections? Have some significant influence over frail humans? Then you need to change your mindset. The recent presidential election shows us that most Americans are tired of fear, intimidation, and most of all, anger. We don’t want it [...]

If you want to scare the H__ out of everyone this Holloween, dress up like “A Socialist”! For some reason, this seems to terrorize Americans like few words do. McCain is now using this as his new “scare” tactic, accusing Obama of “socialism”.

Sometimes I think our political leaders read too much Ian Fleming, or worse, indulge in the faint-within-faint-within-faint political tactics implicit in the whole “Dune” series.

Conrad, who appeared before the crowd before McCain had arrived, offered a prayer that seemed to urge divine intervention to prevent Barack Obama from winning the presidential election — and cast the outcome as a referendum on differing religions.
The Times’ Maeve Reston was at the event, and she passed along the key passage from Conrad’s [...]
