When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism.
Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

REPUBLICANS WOULD RATHER YOU NOT VOTE THIS MID-TERM CYCLE - THIS WAY THEY CAN WIN

The Republican party is counting on poor voter turnout to win back the Senate on November 4th, 2014. Do your part to help the GOP and stay home
The sad thing is, this is supposed to comedy, but too often the case, when mocking the republican, comedy is reality, and it then no longer becomes funny.
Radical Tea Bagger Jon Husted Voter Suppression Leader
Remember if you have an historically accurate knowledge of our founding fathers, rather then the usual tea bagger romantic one, where only white men, who are over 21 and who owned property could vote.
This was the Founding Fathers "principles". But we’ve grown and changed as a country, well most of us that is.
Now enter NFTOS' worst person in the world for the day- Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) whom wants to take his State backwards to the 1700's, you know when white pasty racist men trolled the country.
Husted’s office has been flooded with criticism over his directive limiting voting hours in spite of requests from multiple election boards to stay open on weekends. He’s was also in hot water with a federal judge after he resisted a court order to restore voting hours on the last weekend before Election Day —although Husted ultimately backed down after the judge ordered him to appear in court.
John Husted, not just a cheat, but a gutless cheat. Pity the State of Ohio Readers.
Not only have they suffered self-inflicted wounds from various polls and legislation, the State has now become a poster child for idiots in office, starting with its uber-governor, John Kasich.
Tea Baggers unit, and it would seem they are alive and well within this otherwise beautiful and friendly state.
John Husted screwed over the whole state as a legislator. Not once, but twice. No, make that three times. It must be his boyish charismatic charm.
The first time? Husted was leading the legislature when he torpedoed a steel mill investment that would have brought thousands of jobs to Ohio.
The second? Husted, as a fool-fledged, Catholic member of the Tea Bagger Troup of morons, decided to protect the Church instead of the hundreds of victims of childhood sexual abuse by priests.
The third? In order to protect the white vote, he decided to screw minorities, working women, and liberals, cutting back on access to the voting booths.
This was too much for even our conservative Federal Courts. The District court judge ruled last Friday that Husted's clearly partisan orders were not legal. But hold the phone, Husted is not yet done being an asshat- as of yesterday,Husted appealed a ruling that reinstates the final three early voting days in the battleground state, calling a decision last week by a federal appeals court "an unprecedented intrusion" into how states run elections.
It's simple readers, the GOP cannot win on the tea party ideology. It is extremely unpopular with the vast majority of people. The only way that this radical ideology shall prevail is if you limit those who are against it from voting. Husted is clearly using delay tactics to impede voters' rights pure and simple!
Husted is a tool of the GOP, but mistakenly believes he is their rising star [like Scott "koch whore" walker] . He does what the operatives tell him to do in exchange for the next political office.
It is now clear readers that Secretary of State Jon Husted will stop at nothing to deny Ohioans full and equal access to the polls.
Secretary of State Jon Husted, today's worst person in the world!
Voter suppression laws have been passed across the country, but Pennsylvania's voter ID law may be the most restrictive one yet.
After yesterday's oral arguments, its fate now rests in the hands of the PA Supreme Court. If you missed it, check out the comprehensive coverage of what happened, and what we can expect.
Let's be clear readers the only way the Robme/Lyin Ryan ticket can win is to suppress the vote.
You think Newsroom was first? No. Keith Olbermann talked about Dorothy Cooper and her inability to vote last year. He did what Newsroom does - but every single night. Substantive reporting, incisive commentary, and all delivered with wit and compassion.
I miss seeing my mentor Keith Olbermann on my TV screen each night.
If the above videos don't get your attention, watch this last one.
Get out and "rock the vote" readers, speak to your neighbors, your workmates, speak at social events, we need to ensure that "all" Americans keep this very fundamental right, the right to vote!
Below are two videos that should be a wakeup call to Americans, minorities, and women. An insider speaks candidly to the Rev on GOP politics - radical tea bagger style.
"We have no proof to support Robme’s welfare attack"
The ad is blatantly false; a fabrication critics say is aimed at stirring up resentment toward people of color. Yet, amid a flurry of negative speculation in the media over why Romney refuses to release his tax returns, the deceptive welfare attack has suddenly emerged at the very epicenter of the Republican’s struggling presidential campaign.
And yet, if the above videos are not pungent enough for you, listen to Eye of Newt “moon unit” Gingrich:
The number of Americans reliant on government assistance to buy food grew by more than 70 percent between 2008 – 2011, driven by a lack of jobs and the unavailability of credit as the country grappled with a near total economic collapse at the end of President George W. Bush’s second term.
Despite the nearly unprecedented economic pressure on working class Americans, President Obama did not scrap a rule that requires welfare beneficiaries to look for work. Instead, the administration gave states the option to waive federal welfare work rules if officials come up with a plan that can increase employment among the poor even more.
All this utter bullshit from the radical tea baggers, is there anything beneath them, is there a point where they stop the lies and deceit? Probably not, stay tuned and watch closely as this desperate group comes unglued before our very eyes.
