"The two parties have combined against us to nullify our power by a ‘gentleman's agreement' of non-recognition, no matter how we vote ... May God write us down as asses if ever again we are found putting our trust in either the Republican or the Democratic Parties." -- W.E.B. DuBois (1922)

Lost - Starring Michael Steele
The Republican Media Page
A page focusing on the Republican Right Wing media and its war against President Barack Obama and any kind of Progressive policies to move the Country forward. Yes, the Republican Party IS led by Rush Limbaugh & Co. And yes, Rush Limbaugh & Co. DOES speak for Republicans...and they have been the spokesmen & the foot soldiers for the Republican Party for years. See why their hate speech & divisive politics are so dangerous to the Country and understand their current propaganda campaign aimed at undermining President Obama and weakening his government and the Country. Hoping that Obama fails in these uncertain times = hoping that the Country fails (in the minds of these bigoted Republicans...it's all about their own political gain).

Truth Teller In Spotlight
Anita Dunn- White House Communications Director- For finally stating the obvious (one of the first "officials" to step up and say what needed to be said).... that basically Fox News isn't really a news organization at all. That it's part of the Republican/ Conservative media machine....along with Rush Limbaugh & Co. What they peddle is opinion, often with made-up stories, and NOT news & good old fashioned reporting.
Liar In the Spotlight - Our Worst Person List
Joe Lieberman and Harry Reid- (Pictured: Lie-berman and McCain). Joe Lie-berman for being a hypocrite. He is threatening to oppose Healthcare Reform that offers a public option, even though some form of a public option exists in his own State of Connecticut, and dozens of Congressmembers enjoy a public plan. He also campaigned for Universal Healthcare in 2006, when it was politically convenient....but now he can't even support watered-down reform legislation with a public plan? Was he lying in 2006 or is he lying now? Which is it? Could he be playing both sides in an attempt to win himself a nice barrel of pork ($$$$)....even though he (and others) may end up weakening an already watered-down Healthcare bill in the process? That's a possibility. Or could it be that his close ties to the insurance industry have turned him into a corporate tool....just like half of the other members of the House and Senate? (saying "half" is probably too Conservative). And Harry Reid joins the sidebar for being a weak Senate leader, and for not dealing with Joe Lie-berman when he had the chance. In fact, instead of challenging Lie-berman and really holding him accountable after he campaigned against Democrats last year, Reid bent over backwards for him, trusted him, and catered to his every wish, after Progressives warned him not to. Obama has to take responsibility for this as well...since he worked so hard to protect Lie-berman from any sort of accountability. It's one thing to be independent (i'm an advocate myself) but actively campaigning against your allies and former Party colleagues is a different story. This is the result of Reid's weak leadership. Both Reid and Pelosi should go... they are two of the weakest political leaders that I've ever seen. Because of their lack of backbone and savvy (along with Obama's bad timing and poor strategy on this whole thing)...we will likely end up with a useless, symbolic Healthcare reform bill, just as I stated over the Summer. It will either pass as a bill that's too watered-down to be effective, or it won't get through the U.S. Senate at all. Read more on Lie-berman here.
