Poll: Americans Blame Partisan Commentators, Tea Party for Their Rhetoric

While most Americans do not believe that the state of political discourse in the country contributed to the shootings in Arizona, a majority say that liberal and conservative commentators have crossed the line in attacking opponents and a plurality feel that the tea party movement and its supporters have also done so, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted Jan. 13-16. Those surveyed split evenly at 49 percent each on the question of whether "the tone of political discourse in this country has created a climate that could encourage violence." When it came to the Arizona ...

Michael Bloomberg Decries Partisanship, Calls for Centrist Government

Michael Bloomberg is mad as hell and he's not going to take it anymore. That's the gist of a sharply worded speech New York's mayor gave Wednesday attacking partisanship in Washington and calling for government to "chart a middle way" out of the ongoing recession. Slamming lawmakers who revel in political posturing but offer no solutions, Bloomberg put forth an ambitious plan for stimulating the economy -- calling for tax cuts for business, better trade agreements, more funding for job training and fundamental changes to regulations, The New York Times reported. "Last month, voters turned ...

Palin vs. Obama in New 'NBA Jam' Basketball Video Game

(Oct. 5) -- Ever wonder who would win in a basketball game between Barack Obama and Sarah Palin? Seriously? It's still an open question whether or not the country will ever see the two go up against each other in a general election, but a new video game will at least us see how they fare on the court: "NBA Jam," the latest title in a long-running series from EA Sports, will allow players to control teams of the country's most prominent politicos as they take their arguments to a place where gaffes only matter if the ref calls a technical. Hidden celebrities have been a part of the franchise ...

Opinion: Common Ground Can Be Found

(Sept. 16) -- Tuesday night, Delaware, New Hampshire and New York joined Nevada, Colorado, Florida and Kentucky in the ranks of states where establishment Republican candidates have fallen to GOP outsiders in this year's primaries -- evidence, some pundits suggest, that voters are likely in store for more, not less, partisan politics inside the Beltway next year. If true, America's current trend flies in the face of the philosophy espoused by Irish statesman and political theorist Edmund Burke more than 200 years ago: "All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, ...

Obama Leaves Beltway Bubble to Visit Ordinary Americans;  The Trip Was Short

With all the partisan bickering going on in Washington, it seems only natural that President Barack Obama -- like so many other presidents before him -- would yearn to get beyond the Beltway and hear the concerns of ordinary Americans. On Monday, the commander in chief did just that -- sort of. The president chose as his getaway the Fairfax, Va., home of John Nicholas and Nicole Armstrong, who live with their two children in leafy enclave of Mantua. The residence is beyond the Beltway, but only just so -- about 14 miles from the White House. "You're in a bubble when you're president," Obama ...
