Republican Hang-up on Sex
The Republican Hang-Up On Sex And Abortion By Michael Roberts (about the author) I'm not going to repeat the recent stupid and backward pronouncements by zany Republicans on the subject of sex, rape and abortion. Nor am I going to dignify the asinine comments by a set of white guys in the Republican Party who see rape as "no big deal" and that if it is inevitable then the woman should "lie down and enjoy it." And ... Full Story

Slave States for Romney
It is no coincidence that the Tea Party bears such a striking resemblance to the KKK. The Tea Party has infiltrated and greatly influenced the political party of choice, just as the KKK did in the 1920's.

Mitt Romney’s Real Agenda

Romney: another big lie
