Start the wingnut harumphing now.
Michael Moore’s opting to spoof romantic conventions in titling his upcoming documentary “Capitalism: A Love Story,” which addresses the causes of the global economic meltdown.

Minnesota GOP Is Loser Of The Week
July 8th, 2009

This made me laugh out loud.
The Minnesota Republican Party has tied off a remaining loose end from the epic, eight-month battle to determine a winner in the 2008 Minnesota Senate race, sending Democratic Sen. Al Franken’s campaign a check for almost $96,000 that was owed to him by Republican former Sen. Norm Coleman’s campaign.

John McCain won the same percentage of the white vote as Ronald Reagan did in his landslide 1980 victory. The Republican campaign to alienate minority voters continues to pay dividends!

Keep it up guys.
McCain won the South in November, but Obama swept the rest of the country by an even bigger margin. The same pattern holds now for House and Senate seats. Republicans may continue to win governorships in Democratic-leaning states, but in congressional and presidential elections the [...]

I have finally found something to agree with Republicans on!
In thinking about the Republican Party’s troubles, consider this: One-third of Republicans now say they have an unfavorable opinion of their party.
There’s no such dyspepsia among Democrats. Just 4% have an unfavorable view of their party.

Wow
Veteran Republican Sen. Arlen Specter announced Tuesday that he is switching parties, a move would give Democrats a filibuster-proof 60 seats if Al Franken is seated in the Minnesota race.
“I have decided to run for re-election in 2010 in the Democratic primary,” the Pennsylvania senator said in a statement.
“I now find my political philosophy more [...]

If this is real, its pretty nutty. And considering the sort of stuff the GOP talks about with a straight face nowadays (secession) its probably real as hell.

Democrat Al Franken’s lead in Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race has grown to 312 votes now that hundreds of absentee ballots have been added to the counting.
A three-judge panel ruled that the rejected absentee ballots should be opened and counted after hearing weeks of testimony in a lawsuit brought by Republican Norm Coleman.
Franken led by 225 [...]
GOP “Budget” Shows Us: They’re Not Serious
April 1st, 2009

There is no serious Republican opposition to the President and the Democratic party. Oh, a Republican party exists, but its a clown-car sideshow, not a serious alternative. More evidence today of that from the laughable “alternative” budget they pushed out after last week’s windmill fiasco. The GOP plan calls for a Herbert Hoover style spending [...]

In the middle of all the auto industry news on Monday, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm was everywhere in the media. Sadly, most of what the Democrat said was nonsense. Gov. Granholm repeatedly praised outgoing GM CEO Rick Wagoner. Even worse, Gov Granholm assured us that the American auto industry was in the middle of a [...]
