Cenk Uygur Of The Young Turks Explains Why He Left MSNBC

Cenk Uygur is most known for the daily political news show on YouTube he hosts called The Young Turks.

Poll Shows 71% Disapprove Of Republican Handling Of Debt Ceiling Negotiations

    I think everyone can agree that the debt ceiling situation is way past ridiculous. We can also agree that most politicians are more self-interested than people interested. In this case the people aren’t in favor of how the Republicans are handling the negotiations. It also seems the Republicans themselves aren’t in approval of each other either as the internal disagreements have some again asking if it’s the end of the party as we know it. The Republican leadership is holding up the whole country and putting people’s lives in jeopardy during one of the worst financial situations since...

Quartzsite Mayor Ed Foster Walks Out Of Illegal Council Meeting

The situation in Quartzsite, Arizona is one that should be front page national news. Apparently there have been allegations of political corruption in the town for years.

Citizen’s have called for the resignation of the council. The city council convened a meeting on July 12th, 2011 that doesn’t conform to the town codes at which Mayor Foster informed...

Obama Willing To Risk Reelection To Make Debt Deal Happen

The ever cool-headed Obama apparently felt the effects of the summer heat as he responded to the stall tactics of Eric Cantor and the Republicans on the debt ceiling talks. Obama and the Democrats have been willing to compromise on their biggest issues, mainly discretionary spending and programs like Medicare and Social Security, but the Republicans refuse to budge on anything to resolve the debt ceiling issue. This isn’t anything new though, the Republicans have done this since Obama took office leaving the President with little choice in many cases but to cave in causing many of the President’s supporters...
