Phony GOP Meme of the Moment: ‘Gas Prices Have Doubled Under Obama!’
You’ve heard the Republican meme of the moment. Mitt Romney, the GOP front-runner and presumptive Presidential nominee recently told supporters that the price of gas has “doubled under this president.” Newt Gingrich released an ad last month charging: “Since Barack Obama’s inauguration, gas prices have doubled.” Their reliable allies at the fossil-fuel industry-funded astroturf trade […]
Reminder: The GOP Was FOR Individual Health Care Mandate Before They Were Against It
I don’t necessarily care for the Affordable Care Act (ACA or “ObamaCare”), any more than any other non-disinformed, non-wingnut. Neither am I enough of a Constitutional expert to argue for or against its Constitutionality, which is currently being argued in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. But over the last several days, on Twitter, I’ve […]

Maine GOP Commits Massive Election Fraud in State Caucuses; Paul Supporters Justifiably Outraged
The state GOP itself has stolen the state for Mitt Romney in Maine’s 2012 Caucuses. Period. Might Romney be the actual winner once all votes are actually cast and counted? Perhaps. But the fact is, the Maine Republican Party has purposely blocked that from happening and the apparent loser in all of this — beside […]

O’Keefe Releases Another New Video Fraudulently Purporting to Illustrate ‘Voter Fraud’ in Minnesota
Convicted federal criminal James O’Keefe and his band of co-conspirators at his ironically named Project Veritas outfit have another new video in their “Voter Fraud Investigation” series out. So that means, naturally, they’re misleading the public again. This time, O’Keefe’s video portends to show some of his courageous, unnamed and unseen cohorts at various voter […]
INDIANA’S GOP SECRETARY OF STATE GUILTY OF THREE COUNTS OF FELONY VOTER FRAUD
The chief election official in the very first state in the nation to implement polling place Photo ID restrictions — under the guise of preventing “voter fraud” — has been found guilty of three counts of felony voter fraud today. In an early morning verdict following 12 hours of deliberation, a jury in Hamilton County […]
Brad on Hartmann TV: On VA’s Investigation of 1,500 Fraudulent Signatures from Gingrich Campaign
I joined Thom Hartmann on his Big Picture TV show last night to discuss The BRAD BLOG’s exclusive report from earlier in the day confirming the Virginia State Attorney General’s newly launched criminal investigation into the 1,500 allegedly fraudulent signatures turned in by the Gingrich Campaign in their failed attempt to be included on the […]
EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Officials Confirm Criminal Election Fraud Investigation of Gingrich Campaign
Had the same thing been carried out by a worker for the now-defunct ACORN, Republicans — and even Newt Gingrich — would have called it massive “voter fraud.” But the 1,500 acts of fraud, by Gingrich’s own admission, were carried out by a worker hired by his campaign, so it seems the media have barely […]
Wealth vs. Democracy and the 2012 Presidential Campaign
Guest editorial by Ernest A. Canning The title of historian Kevin Phillips’ otherwise excellent work, Wealth and Democracy: A Political History of the American Rich, is somewhat misleading. With the exception of constitutional monarchies, which preclude royalty from all but figurehead status, democracy and the concentration of great wealth cannot co-exist in the same society. […]
