I really really really want to like Dave Westlake…

I just wish he wouldn’t make it so hard. I have never met Mr. Westlake, and he seems by all accounts to be a very nice person. I also fully respect the campaign he has run(although I dont understand how he can do it), but getting out and meeting people and being willing to [...]

Ron Johnson was right about Greenland

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson: “There’s a reason Greenland was called Greenland,” he said. “It was actually green at one point in time.”

Ron Johnson was actually right; Greenland was green…sometime between 450,000 and 800,000 years ago. Never in recorded history has Greenland been “green,” and what’s more, it’s commonly accepted that Greenland [...]

Tim John nails the point on central city unemployment!

I started working on this blog about a week ago and then set it aside when Tim John posted that he was attending Drinking Liberally. I thought I’d talk to him a bit and add any new information before posting. Well he showed up but I got distracted by other conversations. Well after reading [...]

Yea but George Soros…

In the 90′s the republican party could not stand the fact that they no longer had the presidency, so the billionaires of the party(Richard Mellon Scaife), started the Arkansas Project, strictly to discredit Bill Clinton. The whole time, in order to distract from what they were doing, complained about the one liberal billionaire, George [...]

Unfortunately, it is not out of the realm of possibility…

A quick browse of the Huffington Post and my eye caught this story. After a nice belly laugh, I started looking elsewhere on the page and came across these stories also:

It was symbolic when the six Republican candidates for U.S. Senate stood up together side-by-side during a debate Wednesday. It resembled their [...]

Miscellaneous from the Ron Johnson Factory

Johnson at EAA I had the pleasure of attending the (EAA – Experimental Aircraft Association) in Oshkosh this weekend for the first time. The show was great, but I was a bit surprised that the organizers gave Ron Johnson some airtime, so that he could put in a political plug to a captive audience that really came to see the planes, not hear him talk. If the EAA is giving him airtime, they should do the same for all candidates in the race. Johnson at the DSCC – Meanwhile the DSCC has put together an infographic that includes links to the “greatest” quotes from such luminaries as Sharon Angle, Rand Paul and Ron Johnson. [...]

Utah Republican Senate candidate: taxpayers should be on the hook for oil spill cleanups

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Lee, the far-right conservative who won the Republican Party’s nomination in Utah, sat down last week Friday with Robert Gehrke of the Salt Lake Tribune for an interview, and during that interview, Lee was asked if he supported efforts, such as the one offered by Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson [...]

Dave Westlake thinks BP got shook down

Though the apology by Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) to BP over the $20 billion shakedown BP was subjected to at the hands of the Obama administration, was met with almost universal scorn by folks on both the left and the right, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake seems to agree with Rep. Barton’s assertion [...]

A couple of BP-related thoughts

Just a couple of random BP-related thoughts this morning:

President Obama isn’t getting much love for his speech from the Oval Office on Tuesday, with pundits from both the left and the right saying the speech fell flat. To be honest, this is a speech the President should have much sooner, so color me [...]
