The New American Politics thread

[Flash Walken]

For someone with an advanced appreciation for The Wire, you sure do get sucked into the distraction journalism.

The GOP is lying again. Trying to scare people into voting GOP, or to avoid voting entirely.

This ad has shown up on Facebook:



GOP To Iowans: Your Neighbors Will Know If You Don’t Vote Republicans

It is true that voter participation in elections in public information. But how a someone voted, including what party they voted for, is not. The secret ballot has long been considered a hallmark of American democracy.

The Facebook ads at issue go beyond traditional “vote shaming” by strongly implying that their ballot will not be secret. Two Facebook users who posted screenshots of the ad on social media confirmed to ThinkProgress that they had seen the ads on their Facebook newsfeed.

Actually the Republicans have the majority of the house ... and yeah, they pretty much shut down any progress in the last two years out of spite.

They are worse.

The Republicans have stopped even basic standard stuff like appointing a surgeon general for no reason.

I fully expect them to try and impeach Obama if they get the senate

GOP magic number for Senate control is now down to 5

Why would you think that? They never said they wanted him impeached.

Impeachment? These morons need to realize that we need leaders and not another term of bickering like we've had the last few

Or how about when the GOP has to resort to photo shopping minorities into pictures with there representatives?


Lincoln conservative fine. The new age republican no way. You may as well call them Koch republicans. The koch bros give them so much dark money.

CNN projecting a GOP win North Carolina. Looks like McConnell and Reid will be switching offices.

You don't have to be an international observer to think that. He who has the most money wins. Who has more ads and public exposure wins.
