Sarah Palin hates this website


RepubliCorp.

That’s our new name for the shadowy network of corporate front groups who’re spending millions to sway the election—and the Republican politicians they’re buying.

RepubliCorp prefers to operate in secrecy. So we decided to do a little public relations for them. We created this website, www.RepubliCorp.us, and this spiffy promotional video.

Check ’em out and pass ’em on.

Because the more light we can shed on the corporate interests trying to swing this election, the more we’ll help the progressives they’re targeting. And because during a dark time, a little humor never hurts.

Thanks for all you do.

PS. Remember—next time you’re talking about all those secretive groups spending millions to buy Congress, they have a name: RepubliCorp.

Meet Darryl Issa


Video is from 4/2008

Olbermann names Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., today’s ‘worst person in the world’ for his statements refusing 9/11 sicker workers aid and belittling the 9/11 attacks despite his constant terror-mongering–

“It simply was an aircraft, residue of two aircraft and residue from the materials used to build this building,” Issa said.

GOP Rep. opposes sick Sept. 11 worker fund

WASHINGTON, April 2 (UPI) — A California congressman said Wednesday he has reservations about a proposed new fund for rescuers sickened by the 2001 terror attacks, not supporting victims.

At a hearing in Washington Tuesday, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., balked at the idea of a new compensation fund for emergency responders who fell ill after the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, the New York Daily News reported.

Issa insisted the airliners that crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York were not weapons. He suggested the cause of illness for the responders was simply debris from the collapse of the towers.


“It simply was an aircraft, residue of two aircraft and residue from the materials used to build this building,” Issa said.

Rep Darrell Issa (R-Cal) gets chided for his continued wingnut use of “Democrat Party” to refer to the Democratic Party. Barney Frank (D-Mass) came to his defense by calling the opposition the “Republicanistical” party. Serious times.
