These same folks, strangely enough, seem to object to the pitbull without lipstick style that Rahm Emanuel [...]

Out in wildly-liberal, gay-friendly California, the voters have said no to gay marriage in a way that seems likely to stand for quite a while.

The interesting thing is not that Colin Powell did it – endorsed Obama – but why he did it.
He said his reasons are “narrowing” of the party, moved too far to the right, the focus on the irrelevancies and the tone.
So I give a big Thank You to: Mike, Benjamin, Jonolan, netlosh, Limbaugh, Savage, and [...]

John Seery
Posted October 16, 2008 | 06:00 PM (EST)
A few days ago (which is to say, prior to the Wednesday night presidential debate), I met Sam. Joe the Plumber should really meet Sam, too.

This is a short clip:
“For decades, the Republicans have been more than happy to patronize to the bigots and haters, to the rabid anti-intellectuals, the xenophobes and the just generally stupid. Heretofore, they’ve used those people, but they never let them run the party. In recent years, however, they let the camel get [...]
