Early in September, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut stood before a crowd of ardent Republicans to speak on behalf of John McCain:
Senator Obama is a gifted and eloquent young man who can do great things for our country in the years ahead. But eloquence is no substitute for a record — not in these tough [...]

Most liberal movie
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Errol Flynn on November 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The other day, Michael Tomasky asked readers of his blog their opinions regarding the best liberal movie. The replies included Dr. Strangelove, It’s a Wonderful Life, Dead Man Walking, etc…

Check out this interesting clip from the movie Guess Who’s Coming to Dinnerposted on Michael Tomasky’s blog. In it, Sidney Poitier and Spencer Tracy are talking about race.

A few months ago I was very lukewarm about the idea of an Obama presidency, but the man has impressed me with the quality of his campaign. So I am going to cast my vote for Obama/Biden (instead of Nader or some other liberal). Part of this decision is also the result of how truly [...]
Why do Republicans think Americans are stupid?

Have you heard about or seen this ad by Elizabeth Dole? She’s in a tough battle over her North Carolina Senate seat and she is so desperate that she has resorted to pretending her opponent doesn’t believe in God.
