This site focuses on Republican politicians and conservatives that rip off their constituency. We have the Tea Party, fundamentalist churches, the corruption of ALEC and other special interests groups. But the site also supports progressive Democrats and the local Democratic Socialist of America. We must have ideas on how to replace regressive and corrupt politicians with something better.

Alan Bjerga takes on Tiahrt
and Tiahrt has at least a $ million, according to The Wichita Eagle.
And in US democracy, the candidate with the most money usually wins, regardless of how bad they are. It’s a one dollar one vote style democracy. To get a message out about who the candidate is takes money. Without money, the incumbent can count on his/her base support, which for Tiahrt is the right-wing religious nuts that believe stopping abortion is so important that Tiahrt can rob us all blind and use his office to get rich at our expense.

No opposition from Republicans in today’s vote
Rep. Todd Tiahrt had no opposition in the primary race today. Every Republican knows he’s an excellent fund raiser and he just can’t be beat. He has those religious wing-nuts behind him and those churches are a mighty tool for getting re-elected. And all Republicans know by now (at least very few), that no one raises more funds in the house than Tiahrt. He’ll need all the money he can muster if the Democrats decide to take a serious shot at his seat. Most people in his district are completely sick of him, but his organization, zombie religious backing and wads of cash make him a difficult target.
