So, Arlen Specter is now officially a Democrat. Big deal. I have been reading the polls for weeks showing that he was losing heartily against his conservative primary challenger. This is not really surprising.
What is surprising, although I guess it shouldn’t be, is that everyone is saying this is bad for the Republican Party because [...]

They Hate Him Because He Is “Black,” reads the headline of a post from Daily Kos, reprinted on the blog Green Mountain Daily.
I was about to dismiss it entirely, as I think is the proper response at this point to the accusations of racism that follow every single criticism of President Obama by anyone on [...]
I just saw this on C-SPAN.

Zo is a huge superstar on the right-wing blogs. I haven’t posted any of his videos yet because I figured that everyone had seen them. Then I remembered that some of you live in liberal land and only venture out to benign sites such as this one, where you can conservative bash without [...]

Today is Super Tuesday. Voters in 24 states get to voice who they want as the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees.
I guess it is some sort of big deal.
Forgive me if I am just not that excited.
As someone who has been active in the Republican Party, run for local office as a Republican, supported [...]

I was just going through some of the files from my old computer, which is where I have all of my She’s Right Flashbacks, and I found this Letter to the Editor that I sent the Burlington Free Press when I was Chair of the Burlington GOP.
The funniest thing about it is that I signed [...]
