Esquire Political Blogger Charlie Pierce States: ‘GOP Has Gone Completely Insane’

Charlie Pierce, an Esquire political blogger, teed off on the Republican party when speaking about the Oregon shooting on MSNBC. He said what most Americans have been thinking for several years, the Republicans are “completely insane.” He was stern and unapologetic in denouncing the insane party. [I]t’s the party that, when we have mine disasters, blocks mine regulations. It’s the party that says when we want to fix our roads, you can’t have an infrastructure bill, you can’t raise the gas tax.

Much of the Affordable Care Act’s success...

GOP Debate #2: ROF Provides You This Quick Summary

The second round of Republican primary debates, held at the Reagan Presidential Library Wednesday afternoon and evening in front of an audience of 500, held very few surprises. There were, however, a few running themes uniting the candidates throughout the five hour debate. Many of the statements included the same, tired old excuses and rhetoric we’ve been hearing for over thirty years. As was the case with the first debate, last evening’s session was divided into two parts. The first debate featured the four “second tier” candidates. GOP candidates Jindal, Pataki and Graham started off with attacks on front-runner...
