[Translate] The GOP Debate last night on CNN was insane, and Anderson Cooper seemed to enjoy every moment. The candidates ran amok at certain points, most notably Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. The two had some back and forth banter and Romney even put his hand on Perry at one point. It got very intense and rather unprofessional. The focus that stayed on those two was mostly due to the fact that they seemed so childish up on stage interrupting one another; CNN analysts who interviewed those in attendance believe that the way that...

[Translate] Republicans tanking ratings – Real Clear Politics: “Republicans in Congress have a lower approval rating than President Bush, according to the latest Gallup survey (Dec. 12-14, 1008 A). Just 25% of U.S. adults approve of the job Republicans are doing in Congress, 4 points lower than Bush’s 29%. It is the lowest mark for either party since Gallup began polling the approval ratings of Congressional parties in 1999. Congressional Democrats received a 37% approval rating — still low, but a 7-point increase...
[Translate] Senator Ted Kennedy Returns To The Senate Senator Ted Kennedy, courageously battling terminal brain cancer, returned to his Senate duties and in the process displayed his uncanny knack for great political timing. Recognizing that his vote would not only break a tie in the overall voting for a bil preventing a six percent cut in Medicare, but perhaps bring some Republicans over to the Democratic Side, Kennedy made the trip to Capitol Hill, and was given a war hero’s welcome. I can’t wait to see him at the...
[Translate] This is a test of the Sexual Broadcast System… I’m serious. That’s what the study reads and it means that Democrats, with all of the worries of the American World on their shoulders, just aren’t as horny as they should be, whereas Republicans, carring only about bombing the enemy, have more time to get sexual. Look, I’m a Democrat, but the study doesn’t speak for me. Playboy commissioned the study, which also reports… that it was done by pollster Frank Luntz, conducted exclusively...
[Translate] I could not believe what I was hearing when I heard it today, but out of the mouth of Republican U.S. Presidential Candidate Tom Tancredo was a series of very bigoted statements which essentially add up to this: If you’re speaking any language other than English, you’re not American. That was the message he sent and it was totally ugly. So much so that Fox’s Shepard Smith could not resist grilling him with a set of “setup” questions on this. I’ll call him “Tom The Terrible”...
[Translate] U.S. Senator John McCain, a person I admire very much even though I don’t back him for president, has come out with a new campaign ad with Red Sox pitcher Curt Shilling stating that McCain has “a backbone of steel” — but will the 30 second spot translate to votes? I think the basic error is really in that not a lot of people who vote know who Curt Shilling is without a proper annoucement; that wasn’t in the video. Stay tuned. ...
[Translate] Many in the YouTube community are very upset that several Republican candidates — Sam Brownback, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Mitt Romney, and Tom Tancredo as of this writing — have refused to participate in the Republican CNN / YouTube Presidential Debates. My idea is to simply send each one a video message. For more information, click on the video! ...
[Translate] Former Mass Gov. Republican Mitt Romney’s just stooped to an all time low for a politician in a Presidential campaign and it makes me wonder if he’s watched George Allen Jr.’s “maccaca” speech one too many times. Whatever the case, he looks pretty much not smart in the photo and the fallout from this isn’t going away anytime soon. ...
[Translate] Elizabeth Glover’s a lot like me. She likes to bring her camcorder to big parties. She did so at this bash held for Republican Party head Ken Mehlman , who’s stepping down after an interesting career. But what was more interesting was the camera and Elizabeth behind it. Take a look at the video: Ken Mehlman Reception FINAL from elizabeth glover on Vimeo Ken Mehlman Reception FINAL from elizabeth glover and Vimeo. ...
[Translate] I happened to see an Internet post that Jerry Falwell was admitted to the hospital and hoped that — actually thought he was going to come out OK. I guess I’m so used to having him around as part of the American Culture that the idea he could pass on was foreign to me. Well, Rev. Falwell passed on. Now, I’m not a fan of his as he was a massive supporter of President Regan. Moreover, I at first saw him as anti-Black because of his rhetoric and the racist habits of the 80s in the South. But when I write...
[Translate] Some economists are attacking Governor Schwarzenegger’s plan for a kind of universal health care coverage. But I give him credit for trying something that many have talked about but never actually attempted. It’s a very democratic proposal. But more to the point, it does work to solve a real problem and that is the lack of health care coverage in the state of California. Let’s do it and see how we can make it better. ...
