“I watched the Republican debate. At one point, the candidates said there are no classes in America, a point then hotly debated by all six rich white guys that were there.” – Craig Ferguson “Mitt Romney said that he enjoyed firing people. Way to connect with the middle class there, Mitt.” – David Letterman “Turns […]

© Jen Sorensen Republican presidential candidates are increasingly using “racially coded language” in an attempt to win votes. For example, when asked a question about welfare 2 days before the Iowa caucuses, Rick Santorum replied “I don’t want to make Black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money; I want to give them […]
“The remaining Republican candidates are in New Hampshire this weekend, where they will have two debates in the span of 12 hours. And this is just the regular season. Wait until the playoffs.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Newt Gingrich had a horrible week in the Iowa caucuses. Only 13 percent of his ex-wives voted for him.” […]
Public Policy Polling decided that since Stephen Colbert tried (but failed) to get his name on the South Carolina ballot, the very least they could do would be to include his name on their latest survey in the state, to see how he might have fared. Even though he is not really running for president […]

Jon Stewart on the State of the Republican Primary. Saturday night, the pundits complain because nobody attacks Mitt Romney, so right on cue, the pundits get their wish Sunday morning:
“Tonight is the new season of ‘Jersey Shore.’ It promises to have all of the name calling, sex scandals, and backstabbing of the Republican primaries.” – Conan O’Brien “I read that Facebook is hosting a Republican debate on Sunday. Candidates will be seated based on their poll numbers, with Romney in the middle, Gingrich on […]
© Tom Tomorrow So, how did we end up with such a screwed up political system in this country? It isn’t just the Electoral College, or the bizarre Republican primaries. We also seem to have the longest political campaigns in the world, and I’m sure we spend more money on these campaigns than anywhere else. […]
© Tony Auth How far to the right will Mitt Romney have to go in order to fend off his Republican primary challengers? And assuming he gets the nomination, will he get whiplash when he turns to the actual election, where he must appeal to independents and moderates?
© Stuart Carlson I don’t get it. With Bush’s two wars winding down, of course it makes sense to start cutting back on military spending. Even with Obama’s proposed cuts, we would still spend more on our military than any other country in the world. In fact, we would still be spending as much as […]
Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman: Mitt Romney, I think, is more of a job cremator than a job creator. He was a corporate buyout specialist at Bain Capital. He dismantled companies. He cut jobs. He forced companies into bankruptcy and he outsourced jobs and sent jobs overseas. That’s not a record to write home […]
© Ed Stein [Commentary by Ed Stein:] Remember that moment in the State of the Union address two years back when the president chided the Supreme Court justices in attendance about their appalling Citizens United decision, predicting that a tsunami of anonymous cash would flood elections? Justice Alito responded by silently mouthing the words, “not […]
“Last night, Rick Perry said was quitting the race. But then this morning, he said he’s staying in. Hmm. Going back on his word? Maybe he’d make a good president after all.” – Craig Ferguson “Michele Bachmann pulled out of the presidential race and I just want to take a moment and say that Michele […]
