Most of us that have been paying attention have known for some time that the Republican game plan for the Obama administration is to make sure the economy stays depressed and jobless. Any hint that the economy is improving will spoil any electoral chances they have. Now they are pretty much admitting it. Here’s House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Tanfast): […]

Are you in Michigan’s 8th Congressional District (hey, Lansing, that’s YOU!)? If you are, please spread the word about writing-in LANCE ENDERLE for the Democratic nomination for Congress. Kande Ngalamulume has dropped out but he will remain on the ballot. Lance Enderle needs an estimated 2,000 write-in votes to face Mike Rogers in November. More HERE. I’m just sayin’…

After having raised over $1,000 for the Netroots for the Troops efforts, I had the very sincere privilege of helping the Netroots for the Troops crew produce 300 CARE packages that were sent to men and women in the military in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I have pledged to try to help more next year and in future years until […]

Did you hear the one about the conservative that told a provably false, bald-faced lie to his conference attendees? “Netroots Nation is going down faster than Mel Gibson’s career,” Erik Telford of Americans for Prosperity told a laughing crowd at the Venetian casino gathered for the third annual RightOnline. AFP started RightOnline to counter Netroots Nation, celebrating its fifth anniversary […]

Okay, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as “Boobie Wednesday”. There is. Here at Boobie Wednesday, our mission is quite simple. We want to help spread breast cancer awareness to as many people as we can reach! It’s been proven time and again, that early detection is our best defense against breast cancer, which is why we […]

Sorry for so much MI-07 blogging lately but there’s just too much goodness emanating from my humble little Congressional District these days. This one actually made it to the front page of Daily Kos: Tim Walberg ain’t exactly a Harvard-trained surgeon. He only beat one in 2006. But the former Bible salesman turned one-term congressman oddly seemed determined to prove […]

This afternoon I head off to Las Vegas for the Netroots Nation conference. The opening keynote speaker is Governor Brian Schweitzer from Montana and Senator Al Franken will do the closing speech. In between there will be tons of amazing people there including Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. I wanted to thank everyone who contributed to my donation page for […]

Oh, looky. Brian Rooney just picked up another endorsement from someone who doesn’t even live in his district (MI-07). For real, dude? First it was someone from Georgia and now this? What’s next? Canuck endorsements? Maybe a few from some Europeans? Since he’s lived in MI-07 less than year, maybe he just doesn’t know that many people here… I’m just […]

Via Think Progress Racist GOP candidate for New Hampshire’s House of Representative, Ryan J. Murdough, has an interesting point of view: For far too long white Americans have been told that diversity is something beneficial to their existence. Statistics prove that the opposite is true. New Hampshire residents must seek to preserve their racial identity if we want future generations […]

This is rich. So, in 2008, Republican Joe Schwarz endorsed Mark Schauer for the MI-07 race and, of course, Schauer ended up narrowly defeating Tim Walberg. There has been very bad blood between Schwarz and Walberg ever since Walberg got the Club for Growth to kick the crap out of him (financially- and negative campaigningly-speaking) in the contested 2006 GOP […]
