Michael Charney's insight:

"If you are fed up with our dysfunctional political system, the two parties which control it and with media shrillness and banality you will like Michael Charney's clever essays on our 'Electile Dysfunction." This book will make you smile, make you think, and it might just make you even angrier about the sorry state of American politics. We need more voices like Michael Charney's calling for change."

The Swing Vote: The Untapped Power of Independents

Pro-Democrat group says 9 of the 10 poorest states are Republican

Pro-Democrat group says 9 of the 10 poorest states are Republican | Tea With The Mad Hatter | Scoop.it
From www.politifact.com - January 13, 2014 1:04 PM
The partisan blogosphere is filled with arguments over whether liberal or conservative policies are better for states. No matter what is proposed -- cutting the sales tax, raising the minimum wage, etc.
Michael Charney's insight:

The problem I always have with things like this is that too many will take correlation for causation. There could be a host of reasons for why this is true. It also forgets that a "red state" could be one with less than 50% registered GOP'ers (in fact, it probably is). It could also mean that the poor aren't able to vote "blue" because they've been disenfranchised or gerrymandered out of significance....  Many possiblities exist, but I fear that most on the far left will see only the one that Occupy wanted us to see....

When Rick Scott took office in 2011, Floridians had serious doubts about their new governor and as it turned out, those concerns were well founded.

Republican N.C. Sen. Bob Rucho was unapologetic Monday after his controversial tweet sparked a firestorm of criticism online, on national television – and even from his state party chairman.
Michael Charney's insight:

Here's what he wrote: “Justice Robert’s pen & Obamacare has done more damage to the USA then the swords of the Nazis, Soviets & terrorists combined.”

Players Guide 2014 | Tea With The Mad Hatter | Scoop.it
From www.factcheck.org - February 12, 2014 11:07 PM

"Can't tell the players without a scorecard!"

 

Who are the people and groups behind the TV ads in the 2014 federal elections? Below is a list of organizations that have been active or are expected to be active in raising and spending money to influence voters in 2014. Click on the links to read profiles of each organization. The groups were selected based on the amounts they have spent, or say they plan to spend, or the media attention they have attracted. It is not a comprehensive list, and additional groups will be added as the campaign season unfolds.

 

Many of these groups may legally raise and spend unlimited amounts of money. They are known as super PACs and must register with the Federal Election Commission. Others may legally raise unlimited donations and avoid disclosing their donors. Those groups do not file with the FEC, but register rather with the IRS under Section 501(c).
