Republicans vs Democrats. The REAL difference.

There is no doubt about it, these are dark times. We have a Trumpaholic driving a 2015 Chevy Scrapbook around, mailing off pipe bombs, another asylum escapee who thinks that HIAS is bankrolling an invasion force of unarmed, impoverished, footsore army of Honduran women and children, and to top it...

Things Must Be Getting Serious in Flipping KY-6th Congressional District from Red to Blue.

I’m not in the Lexington area of KY — I live in Louisville in KY-3rd, but it looks like there is something going on in the KY-6th Congressional District race between Republican incumbent Andy Barr and Democratic challenger Amy McGrath.  First up, there are the multiple opening salvos from Congressman Barr:...

I Ask For a Ceasefire.

Could we all just take a few moments, access our current political mess, and maybe have a ceasefire among those who resist Trump and his policies?   As to my meager qualifications for calling for a ceasefire, I offer the following about my past stances and transgressions: I’m a partisan Democrat who...

DCCC Decides to Help Liz Watson Flip IN-9th to Blue.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal: The DCCC, which pushes to get Democrats elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, added Watson to their “Red to Blue” program, which sends support to top-tier candidates they think have potential to flip districts. In a release, the group cites Watson's grassroots engagement, campaign organization...

Maybe the DCCC would once pick the more progressive candidate to back – just for Lulz

I’m sorry but enough is enough.  The DCCC is just horrible and I’m beginning to think that DailyKos is just as bad.  What is happening in the California 48th is just making me sick.  Compare these two articles on the DCCC’s entry into the 48th between Talking Points Memo and...

New Major Swing City Dem Leader Was “Lifelong Democrat”, Until Twitter Happened…

As a rule, I typically don’t cover local party races. It’s not really a shock that there’s politics that get played in…well, politics. Every now and again I hear about back-stabbing cliques, coups, or just bad behavior. (PS–yes, I saw that Polk County.)   Yet when people from various progressive...

DCCC caught pushing some of same talking points NRA-backed politicians use regarding gun violence

At this point, it is becoming almost impossible to tell the difference between the political messaging of the neoliberal Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which is an organization that is responsible for helping Democrats get elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and the political messaging of Donald Trump’s fascist...

Is the DCCC the Cleveland Browns of Politics?

I’m sorry, I can’t even get angry any more.  The people at the DCCC (and the DNC) are just so inept they give the front office of the (0-16) Cleveland Browns a run for their money. So I’m sure many of you have heard about the DCCC getting involved in...

Burns Strider and the “Bosslady”: The work continued after the campaign was over.

Sorry for being rather late on this one; I don’t write here much anymore. The reaction was ever so predictable. After the New York Times’ report that Clinton shielded campaign adviser Burns Strider after he made inappropriate advances on another staffer, against the wishes of her campaign manager who wanted...
