Hey look…over there! Are those some snazzy ads or what?

In the 4+ years since Blogging Blue first started providing the top-notch political content that you’ve all grown accustomed to, I’ve been loathe to ask you, the readers of this blog, for anything beyond your comments to our entries. Last year I asked you all to help offset some of the cost of our redesign, [...]

Could we stop with the nonsense already?

If this is true, it’s absolutely and positively unacceptable: Supporters of Gov. Scott Walker report 78 pro-Walker signs have been vandalized throughout Sheboygan County in the last month.

Susan Hundley, chairwoman of Walker’s Sheboygan County campaign, said that includes 60 different locations, with 18 repeat visits by vandals. Six of those signs were 4-foot-by-8-foot vinyl [...]

Republican Echo Chamber in Action(Updated)!

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Mark Twain!

Mark Twain who lived in the 1800′s said this without even getting a chance to experience(lucky him) the right wing noise machine. The Republican Noise Machine turns Samuel Clemens into a prophet of the first order on [...]

Did you ever wonder why…

…when you hear stories about drugs in the African-American community, it’s always about a “crime,” but when you hear stories about drugs in the white community they’re almost always stories about the same drugs as a “disease?”

AFP, reality t.v., and Wisconsin GOP

Robin Vos spreads "the word"

I had an epiphany at the Americans For Prosperity Town Hall meeting here in Waukesha on Saturday morning. I realized that marketing, not facts, wins elections. In our collaborative post, Phil Scarr and I provided fancy charts and graphs to dispute many of the AFP’s factually inaccurate statements, and we made some jokes at their [...]

Whats the Matter With Kansas?

Its run by Republicans, and right now the Republican party has become unhinged! Case in point: Kansas Republican Speaker of the House Mike O'Neil is praying for the death of President Obama and calls The First Lady of the United States "Mrs. Yobama".

Speaker Mike O’Neal compared Michelle Obama to the Grinch in e-mails [...]

“That’s a nice pension you got there… It’d be a shame if something were to happen to it…

Walker’s “tools” apparently permit localities to blackmail police and firefighters into accepting higher pension contribution rates by threatening them with jacking up their healthcare costs.  Well done, Walkerbots!

When the Meme Goes Against You, Kill the Meme!

Rick Santorum wants to destroy the “middle class” (the phrase) through an ostrich-like process of denying America is a class-based society!  If there are no classes, there can be no “middle class” by definition!  QED!

“He was one of Walker’s most trusted confidants”

Heh….. “He was one of Walker’s most trusted confidants,” said Orville Seymer, a property manager active in recall politics through Citizens for Responsible Government.

No doubt if the tables were turned and the “he” we were referring to was one of Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle’s “most trusted confidants,” conservatives wouldn’t be calling Doyle the victim, [...]

Activist Judges Indeed

Judges shouldn’t invent laws unless it helps the Republican Party in some meaningful way, apparently.  Then it’s sensible jurisprudence.
