Being Republicans Won’t Beat Them, or how I learned to stop worrying and vote for Mike Lake

June 6, 2010 By cl-berg-powers

Cahill faces blowback for immense stupidity

May 28, 2010 By Charley on the MTA

You know, Massachusetts makes me proud sometimes. Really, profoundly proud. Not when one of our electeds tosses around terms like "pandering to special interest groups" and "political correctness run amok", and "playing politics with … [Read more...]

Should I avoid voting for a Catholic?

December 4, 2009 By Steve Stein

I am not Catholic, so I have only an outsider's understanding of what partaking in the Roman Catholic Church's sacraments mean to members of the Church.  I believe strongly that I should be answerable to the country's laws, and not … [Read more...]

Fierce Advocate? More like Fierce Hypocrite.

December 19, 2008 By cambridge_paul

So pissed off.  So hurt.  So let down. First off, I can't believe Obama had the gall to say he was a "fierce advocate for gay and lesbian Americans".   Excuse me, but you do NOT get to call yourself a fierce advocate when you … [Read more...]

Bigotry rises; everyone fiddles

October 12, 2008 By Charley on the MTA

Romney and Rudy gin up religious bigotry at RNCC
