On the Road to Political Irrelevance with Rudy Giuliani

February 22, 2015 By steven-j-gulitti 1 Comment

Another famous New Yorker, Yogi Berra, once said, “We may be lost but we’re making good time.” That pretty much sums up the current state of Rudy Giuliani’s political reality and doesn’t bode well for his future. When it comes to Rudy … [Read more...]

Miraculously the Republicans Rediscover the Average American

February 1, 2015 By steven-j-gulitti 3 Comments

As if by magic, the Republican Party has rediscovered most of the rest of us. My neck is still stiff from the political whiplash I sustained when the Grand Old Party radically made its 180-degree course change back to the political middle. … [Read more...]

Scott Walker’s Trials and Travails Continue

April 6, 2011 By steven-j-gulitti 1 Comment

March 14, 2011 By steven-j-gulitti Leave a Comment

A funny thing happened on Saturday in Madison, Wisconsin. 100,000 people turned out to welcome home the 14 Democratic State Senators who had been on the lam for three weeks. It was one of the largest outpourings of anti-Walker protest, if … [Read more...]

The Pathos of Denial

March 10, 2011 By steven-j-gulitti Leave a Comment

You know as far as being honest about the role of the Koch brothers in Scott Walker's anti-union efforts, it's been more than somewhat amusing to see the elaborate kabuki dance of denial, self delusion and double talk that has emerged on … [Read more...]

Scott Walker’s Faltering Anti-Union Effort

March 8, 2011 By steven-j-gulitti 19 Comments

The Republican candidate for Lt Gov. is anti-vax. She was a state rep. for nine months once and she won't say Biden won and Trump lost. She actually says she doesn't know who won because there are states still doing audits #MaPoli

Lexie Schapitl @lexieschapitl

"My Body, My Choice" is no longer polling well with Democrats because of its association with the anti-vax movement

Fascinating read from @RachelHBluth on how vaccine opponents co-opted the abortion rallying cry https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/07/04/1109367458/my-body-my-choice-vaccines

Pass-thru #smallbiz owners, who spent a lifetime building their biz, will unfairly face higher taxes under an income tax surtax. That means when they sell the biz, their retirement nest egg will be much less than they planned facing a 9% tax. #mapoli https://bit.ly/3Rgg13A

True story #MaPoli #NHpolitics #WIunion #WIpolitics

John Nichols @NicholsUprising

Boris Johnson is quitting as prime minister because the British Conservative Party is holding a dangerous and dysfunctional party leader to account — something the American Republican Party has steadfastly refused to do.

So much for @CharlieBakerMA's reputation as "Mr. Fix-It". #mapoli

Jesse Mermell @jessemermell

Not a good look when @massgovernor’s administration can’t get their stories straight about how many times the #MBTA derails. The Gov. cannot continue to be Teflon when it comes to the disastrous state of the T. 2 terms in, the management failure is his. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/06/metro/three-t-derailments-three-days-lots-questions-curious-delay/
