why shouldn’t race help obama win?
by Aaron Rodriguez | Socialist | Comments (4)
It has recently come to my attention that I’m a racist. I wasn’t aware of any latent racial prejudices that I possessed until someone called me a racist for supporting Barack Obama.

Red and blue translates to conservative and liberal. Red and blue can even translate to evil and good, depending on whom you’re speaking with.
for the good of the party, just go away
by Shane Nicholson | Socialist | Comments (5)
For the good of the party. The rallying cry of most fringe political groups; the call of any respected totalitarian regime, right? But how about that of a party struggling to find its identity in a two-party system? Doesn’t seem to fill the bill.
the hypocrisy of john mccain: part II
by Matthew Kimball | Socialist | Comments (1)
The saga continues. In the latest installment of this humble and modest senator’s various hypocrisies, we find John McCain opposing women’s rights.

by Aaron Rodriguez | Socialist | Comments (2)
I’m usually not one to over-analyze the statements made by politicians. I understand that in the heat of the moment words get mixed up and candidates make missteps. However, a statement recently made by Hillary Clinton struck me as exceptionally divisive. In an interview with USA Today on May 7th, Hillary cited an Associated Press […]
you’re only hurting yourself

There’s a simple rule to American politics that most people fail to grasp or at the very least acknowledge: you never get what you want and you always get what you deserve.
