Are Republicans Just This Stupid?! Apparently So.

    Billie Tucker down in Florida makes an excellent point worth reiterating. The GOP is set, yet again, to have a debate on MSNBC. Seriously. Dare I refresh your memories on the last one? For two hours we were stuck with Brian Williams and John Harris of the Politico asking questions no one cared about in picking the Republican nominee. It was a dreadful debate that | Read More »

    Third Parties, Third Ways, the Tea Party, and the GOP
