Much is made now that the current GOP is the “Party of No”. But let’s remember that throughout American history conservatives have always been against progress. Whether it was first the Democrats in the 19th century or ultra conservative Republicans in the late 20th and early 21st century conservatives have [...]

The rally against the Kochs represented a dent in their stature and power and a validation of the unity and power the other 99% in this nation can have. With it, they can indeed take their democracy off the auction block.

Tune in to this post to watch the Uncloaking the Kochs rally live! (Image of the oily Koch can is courtesy of Oil Watchdog)

Everything is underway with this Sunday’s protest against the Koch cabal in Palm Springs. The media is building as are the images, here are just some of them.

For everyone who watched Keith Olbermann’s show last night and saw his and Arianna Huffington’s wanton and deliberate misrepresentation of President Obama’s opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, then you need to know that this is exactly the abject s-h-i-t-e, about which I ranted in my last blog: the [...]

We now have what amounts to another debate on HCR and we need to be better prepared for it this time.
Let’s make this argument be based on facts and reality.

Can we not propose that a jumbled mind is expressed through incoherent speech?
When we take up arms, we’re talking about our vote.

Watch President Obama and Sarah Palin go toe to toe with each other in their first debate!

Dazed, I turned only to see said chorus approaching, grinning, with one of them rapping the words “Slam Slam Cinderella.” To add to the surreal quality of the event: I didn’t feel humiliated.

When it comes to the Bush Tax Cuts, the Devil is in the details…and the bargaining room.

Thank you for signing on to the obstructionist dog and pony show contrived by your Republican colleagues in the Senate. Have you signed the “secret” letter being circulated in the hallways of the Senate Building, akin to passing notes in study hall?

At great risk to their personal safety and careers, GOP insiders smuggled out an early draft of the Republican Tea Party’s Pledge to America and have provided it exclusively to PlanetPOV. As you’ll see, this draft is quite startling in how frankly it presents the Tea Party driven sensibilities of [...]

BREAKING NEWS!!! Just in! The Planet has just received this startling footage of a Tea Party rally where they have turned on their candidate for Senate in Delaware, Christine O’Donnell after revelations that she admitted to being a witch! On Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher showed footage from an [...]

It is a given that the party out of power picks up seats in the off year election. Why is that? The logic would seem simple. American voters have the patience and vision of a nearsighted 3 year old. Every two years after they have decided that they want a [...]

During last Friday’s Vox Populi, we were discussing how the GOP/Tea Party, assisted hugely by Fox, the MSM and corporations, has foisted this fraudulent series of racist and hateful “issues” on the nation and into our politics. Pres. Obama, being a thoughtful man of reason, responds earnestly to accusations about [...]

In my various meanderings around the whole of existence and parts of New Jersey, I have had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of God, Satan and other well recognized talking heads. It’s been my honor to share their blogs here at The Planet. As Fate would have it (if [...]

The GOP’s superficial message to Americans is, “Government is your enemy, trust us, we are the government, we should know.” It is easy to boil down what their real motivations are, further siphoning tax money and public wealth into the hands of the wealthy and the only way to do [...]

A poll has finally come out which provides a bit of demographics on Tea Partiers. The MSM is spinning it as, “They’re actually not poor and ignorant, they’re better off than average Americans!” because of course, the contrary to what we’ve all witnessed is news and they want the conflict [...]

When we last left The Man of Steele, he was cornered by Moral Outrage outside a lesbian bondage club in West Hollywood! Using his Super Ignorance, The Man of Steele closed his eyes and ignored Moral Outrage, causing it to not exist for him and was able to escape its [...]

The GOP appeals to the child in people (just look at the cartoonish characters representing it in the media and Congress). The child they appeal to is the one that throws tantrums, beats up weaker kids for their milk money, is scared of people and things that are different, lies [...]

Come November, the Republican Party may need to change their mascot from the elephant to the lemming. In the aftermath of Scott Brown’s upset election in January, the GOP redoubled their bets on the failure of Health Care Reform. As they had for the last year, they showed no hesitation [...]

As I began this section, The Players and Their Organizations, I realized they could not be covered in one post.  So what I will do is touch on The Family here and do a more detailed post on them next. Then in the last post I will consolidate Impact and Consequences [...]

My first goal in this series is to define the Christian Right and provide some of their history.  The Christian Right has been insinuating themselves into public discourse since the late 70′s.  By the end of the 80′s it was generally assumed that the Christian Right consisted entirely of evangelical [...]

I was originally going to write this series of articles in tandem with a partner however I have decided to  move ahead on my own.  I hope I am up to the challenge.   What I will attempt to do is provide some history to understand the Religious Rights beliefs and [...]

Due to the work of dogged investigative reporting, it has been uncovered that the GOP is actually a scripted “reality” show for the Fox network. The tipoffs were all there, if you used Morse code to decrypt all of Sarah Palin’s winks, you would have gotten the messages, “Hi Mom!”, [...]
