"Liberal" -- the most abused word in the political lexicon.
Travis (911bagman) stated explicitly that the mislabeling of fellow bloggers as “liberal” is “rudimentary” and needs to end. I couldn’t agree more. And, besides, what’s wrong with being a liberal anyways?

During the local primary race for Assembly, it was amusing – albeit pathetic – to watch …

McCain, it is (unfortunately)
Polls from various news organisations found that a substantial number of Hillary Clinton’s Democratic and Independent supporters would cross party lines and vote for Republican John McCain if Barack Obama took the Democratic nomination.

I regret to inform you that I am one of them. I’ll be jo…

Choose your Assemblyman wisely!
Now that the state Supreme Court has determined that all taxpaying consensual adult human beings have the right to have their partnerships acknowledged on a civic and fraternal level, I fully expect Republican state Assembly candidate Steve Knight to come forward, full boar, and use the judgmen…
