Watch the Republican Propaganda Machine Turn On Itself

Recently I’ve seen Republican leaders take a rhetorical sledgehammer to any Republican who dares come off as a non-ideologue extremist. Not only is the consensus at the Republican Governors’ Convention that President Obama won not because Americans agreed with his positions on raising taxes on the rich or healthcare, but because of Obama’s ground game… Republicans think “the […]

HIV in the Trans Community: A Reality Check

A friend of mine emailed me about the HIV infection rate for the trans community shown on an educational poster: She said that their numbers sounded low. That’s because they are low. But, before I get into a review of the data, keep in mind that Africa has an HIV infection rate of 5% – […]

A Racist Republican?!? Say It’s Not True!

You know the GOP Chair Charlie Webster who thought there was voter fraud because “dozens and dozens of black people” voted? Well, he wants you to know that he’s not a racist: There’s nothing about me that would be discriminatory. I know black people. I play basketball every Sunday with a black guy. He’s a […]

Centrist Values Win The Election!

Obama wins with what’s now 100 more electoral votes than Romney and Florida will eventually go to Obama giving him 332 electoral votes to Romney’s anemic 206 electoral votes. And no matter what that ridiculous clown Trump says… … Obama won the popular vote 59,584,123 to Romney’s 56,961,230 giving Obama 2,622,893 more votes than Romney. […]

Election Day is Here! Are We Still a Democracy? Let’s Find Out.

Romney can’t win. It’s statistically impossible. Should Romney win, we’ll have a huge problem on our hands. Let’s review the statistical chances Romney has of winning: From the Princeton Election Consortium: These folks are never wrong when it comes to POTUS elections. Let’s check in with the folks at fivethirtyeight: Again… these folk’s are known […]

Chronicling 2012 Republican Voter Fraud

This post chronicles efforts by the GOP and their surrogates to systematically and fraudulently stop Democrats from voting: True The Vote – a Republican poll-watching org (see other TTV issues below) – just got caught committing voter fraud, was banned from operating in Franklin County. Caught on video: Voting machine switching Obama votes to Romney votes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdpGd74DrBM Pensilvania Republicans trying to stop black […]

Bigots Unite! Deploying the Klan Fallacy in 3… 2… 1…

It’s happened. The H-BSers, the RadPhlems and the people who DEFENDED Prop 8 have untied as one voice to proclaim that pre/non-op transwomen as a group are 1.) icky because 2.) they’re actually men, and therefore 3.) a danger to cisgender women. “Now, it’s a Right Wing Organization that is standing up for Women and […]

Jan 2, 2013: Republicans, Transgender People, HIV & Death

So, you know how awesome the GOP is for coming up with the Sequestration on January 2? If that happens, this is what WILL occur in HIV:  15,708 people would lose access to crucial life-saving drugs and die.  4,738 households would lose housing support.  460 AIDS research grants would be eliminated. Republicans will return America […]
