August 9, 2010 By jumbowonk

Ending birthright citizenship: 2,500 years of failure

August 3, 2010 By jumbowonk

Guy Glodis: what happened? (WITH POLL)

June 6, 2010 By jumbowonk

I have a few ideas.  The first one is that people finally got fed up with him.  There are certainly enough things out there about him to make people turn away from him.  He could have very easily alienated former supporters … [Read more...]

In light of the disasters, what we need to do NOW (Good Politics+Good Policy=Good Future)

May 21, 2010 By jumbowonk

An exclusively clean energy bill will have great results for relatively little cost, and will be very popular as well.  It reduces our dependence on foreign oil, helps prevent more disasters like these, creates jobs, and, if a … [Read more...]

A Call For Moderation

May 14, 2010 By jumbowonk

I've also seen a lot of opposition here and elsewhere to Elena Kagan.  I agree that she has taken some troubling positions, and I would have probably preferred that she didn't get the nomination.  However, she got the nomination, … [Read more...]

Khazei ’12

January 20, 2010 By jumbowonk

Pros of Alan Khazei running again: He's run for Senate before, and made major inroads in the last campaign It's a regular election, so he will have more time to win over voters, a luxury he didn't have in the last campaign. He has fresh new … [Read more...]

The election was a referendum on (GASP) Martha Coakley

January 19, 2010 By jumbowonk

So, how did a relatively popular left-of-center Catholic AG from Middlesex County lose to a right wing Protestant Republican unknown in the battle for Ted Kennedy's seat?  And, how did it seem that he represented MA more when she … [Read more...]

Scott Brown live robocall

January 19, 2010 By jumbowonk

So, I, although a college student, am home for break right now, and my mom happens to be a Republican.    So, I get calls from Scott Brown and Martha Coakley.  Recently, I got a robocall from Scott Brown, saying that he would … [Read more...]

Redistricting difficulties

January 18, 2010 By jumbowonk

5 Reps live within the first circle; 6 within the second This makes redistricting hard, since Southeastern MA pretty much gets screwed no matter what, and inside 128 gets disproportionately represented (in the interest of full disclosure, I … [Read more...]

So, anyone here voting for Tom Coburn on Tuesday?

January 18, 2010 By jumbowonk

Let's compare the two: Just as Tom Coburn voted against troop funding to stall the healthcare bill, so too did Scott Brown vote against paid leave of absence for employees of the Commonwealth who volunteered for the Red Cross after 9/11. … [Read more...]

Juanita Frauddrick a sick #pathetic joke #Juanita is envious of Nancy, makes her infamy on smearing a great president like #BillClinton @CommunityMedia3 @medfordmedia #mapoli and is someone desperately in need of @JennyCraigAusNZ #JennyCraig #JuanitaBroadDRICK Expired 15 min fame

Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut

Oh give me a fucking break. You are one of the biggest crooks in Congress with your insider trading. And that drunk you’re married to should be in jail for all the DUI’s and wrecks he has caused. You’re not out of the woods yet, on your J6 scam, either. https://twitter.com/speakerpelosi/status/1637153439367962625

Jackson, Mississippi is nearly 90% Black.
Very expensive to replace city water pipes.
But It would only cost a fraction of the money Democrats have given to Ukraine.
