Fox News Uses 2008 Campaign Footage as Palin Book Tour Crowd

Fox news is at it again.  In an flimsy effort to deliberately distort the amount of people coming out to see Sarah Palin and get their book signed, Fox news uses video footage of Palin at a presidential campaign rally from last year!  Notice that everyone is seated at an arena or stadium, carrying McCain/Palin [...]

Sarah Palin Quits, Again – Return Book and get your Money Back!

What’s up with Sarah Palin? First, she lies about what happened on the campaign trail in her book.  Then, when things get rough or don’t go her way, Palin quits.  That’s not the way to treat your fans or your potential voters.  If Palin is looking for a run in 2012, she is doing all [...]

How can you tell when Joe Lieberman is lying?

Whenever his lips are moving, especially in reference to the public option!Sen. Joe Lieberman has been proven wrong on several occasions when he claimed that the public option was NOT a part of Barack Obama's campaign. From Politico (11/19):“It’s classic politics of our time that if you look at the campaign last year, presidential, you can’t find a mention of public option,” Lieberman said. “It

Organizing for America's New Health Care Ad:

The GroundHog's Health Care Reform Bill. What's your take? Support Congressman Murphy and call him today to thank him for his tireless efforts on health reform and not give in to the US Chamber of Commerce attack ads:

Six Arrests in DC, Four Arrests in Hartford at Lieberman Office Sit in on Tuesday Four people were arrested, on Tuesday morning, November 10th during a sit-in in front of Senator Joseph Lieberman’s office in Hartford. The arrestees were among 30 demonstrators who sought a public meeting with the Senator to confront him on his stance on health care reform while at the same time accepting donations from the health insurance industry.

Mertens, the CFL Party and CT’s Race for the Senate 2010 For the past two days, one name stands out ahead of all the other candidates for US Senator on GroundUp’s Senate race poll, John Mertens. Mertens is chairman of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party that boldly displays the following notice on their blog site: [GroundUp]

Murdoch, Race & Hate Bait. He Bleeds. He Leads. What is as American as apple pie? Awaking each morning to have one’s coffee (or tea) and read the newspaper; which often includes at least one local news source and one or two national, i.e., The New York (or LA) Times and The Wall Street Journal. This morning, I noticed a newspaper sitting on the table — lots of colorful ads, peppered headlines – it was the WSJ. My first thought, Rupert Murdoch; another real newspaper down the drain.
