Power. That’s the name of the game in Republican politics. Not principle. Not vision. Who are the core players in that power game? t2P has combed several lists of ‘key’ Republican players from the two opposing forces in the Radical Right, the Libertarians and the Neo Cons. Our top ten list represents the people who, through political clout, money, or both, are seminal driving forces that corrupt Republican politics and push it to the extremist ends that it promotes today.

Democrats have a few whopping-bad ideas that we inject from time-to-time into the political system. One of them, the “response” to the State of the Union address, initiated under King Richard of Nixon in 1966, really has to go. [1] Read the rest of this entry »

The rapid rise in fortunes for the Rick Santorum campaign was not a sudden surge of populism. The real story of Tuesday’s Iowa Caucuses is that the hand of the uber-rich Libertarian and ultra-Christian Right can tilt elections, and tilt them quickly by way of the new Super PAC slush funds made possible by the Citizens United decision.
He profited from a surge of cash from shadowy SuperPACs which can form and fund candidates, then dissolve well before the Federal Election Commission (FEC) or the media can ascertain who they are, or who is behind them.
These will be the nuclear weapons of the 2012 political season, millions of shadow money being laundered before it is dumped into political campaigns by narrow-interest billionaires.

If the dead can’t vote in Chicago, should they be allowed to influence politics from the grave in Pittsburgh and Denver and New York?
The Koch brothers may be the most visible part of the Dead Billionaires club, but they are not the only New Deal-hating Libertarian elites funding the dismantling of the government of the United States from within.

Andrew Breitbart, Anthony Weiner, Gop, Weinergate
In 2011, Andrew Breitbart, Democrats, GOP, Media, Media News & Criticism, New Media, Politics, Republicans, The Congress, The House on June 7, 2011 at 12:51 pm
Sex scandals in Congress are the rainbow sprinkles that top the political ice cream for journalists. Every year or so we get one. This month’s flavor is New York’s representative Anthony Weiner. You’ve seen the bulge. The tabloid press in New York, largely backed by the same Rupert Murdoch engine that powers up the Fox News TV machine that uses Weiner as a GOP foil, has shown more photos. The big problem though: Andrew Breitbart was right, not just Right.

When Newt Gingrich is too moderate for the Republican Party, the Tea Party has turned the political landscape to quicksand for GOP presidential aspirants.
Gingrich, appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press, was asked whether Republicans should buck polls that show their Medicare voucher system is D.O.A. His reply put the GOP spin-o-sphere into complete apoplexy:

If money talks, it is positively screaming in the health care debate. $80,831,142.00 in political contributions from individuals, industries, and political action committees from the insurance, big pharma, hospitals and health professionals on one side to retirees on the other, have contributed heavily in this election cycle to make sure that politicians are hearing them loud and clear.
