The Governor's Self- (and State-) Defeating Mantra

Gov. Mark Sanford's main line of political posturing since he's been in office is to whine, "I have no authority." This posture is supposed to make people want to give him more authority by reforming our state constitution, and this posture also offers a political cover for why he never accomplishes anything. The worst of it is that Gov. Sanford has been repeating this mantra so often that ev...

Taming the Deficit with Health Care Reform

For all you deficit hawks out there, fretting that universal health care coverage would bankrupt the country, Ezra Klein of the Washington Post offers an interesting graph, showing what might happen to our deficit situation, if we adopt european-style health care. The rising line — that’s the status quo/GOP + Blue Dog Dem plan. The [...]...

Independence Day 'tea parties' insult America, its people

I guess people in this country really are pathetic enough to protest on a day where all Americans should have been coming together to celebrate our independence. Specifically, South Carolina takes the cake. U.S. Senator Jim DeMint of S.C. attended a "tea party" that was more of an insult to our president and the country itself than a show of appreciation and thoughtfulness . He spoke in fron...

Will Congress Prescribe Health Care Placebo?

Pardon my preemptive cynicism, but it's looking more and more like our industry-owned Congress will send President Obama a placebo health bill with no public option and not so much as a hint of discussion of a single-payer plan.

DeMint Needs a New Ghostwriter

While I never expect U.S. Senator Jim DeMint to waste an opportunity to play fast and loose with the truth in order to fake an argument, I was really hoping he would have taken the time to at least proof read his newest book "Saving Freedom" before putting it to press. In explaining DeMint's rise to the U.S. Senate on page 18 of his (staff's) most recent effort, ...

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's the day we take a moment to think back to those who gave their lives for our independence. It's the day we revel in the fact we are Americans.

Kudos to Rep. Vida Miller: Sanford should go

From the Georgetown Times : Locally, State Rep.

Does DeMint acknowledge the obvious in relation to a public option in health care?

From ThinkProgress.org: (For the full story, click here ) Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) recently used this talking point himself in arguing against a public option for the National Review. Yesterday, however, DeMint appeared to inadvertently offer an example that demonstrates that the notion that the public plan would drive out competition is false. On Bill Bennett’s radio show, DeMint called...

At least. as far as I can remember, he has not aggressively worked to deny gay rights or promoted himself as a warrior for christ etc. Now, part of the reason may simply be because ...
