The website FlackCheck.org (run by the same people who do FactCheck.org) is imagining whether Lincoln (our most respected president) could be re-elected today. The best part is a series of hypothetical campaign ads by his opponent George B. McClennan, using modern negative campaign propaganda techniques. Here’s one of them: They also have ads from the […]
“Mitt Romney just released a new campaign ad about the economy featuring out-of-work Americans. It gets weird at the end when he says, ‘I’m Mitt Romney, and I fired all these people.’” – Jimmy Fallon “Last month Mitt Romney raised $76 million. He found it in an old sport-coat pocket.” – David Letterman “You know […]

The GOP strategy against the president seems to be to throw everything at Obama to see if anything sticks. Even if the things you throw at him are contradictory. Obama is a socialist, but he is simultaneously a fascist. Obama is an ineffective president who has not delivered on his promised “hope and change”, but […]
© Jim Morin The actual quote was from Laura Ingraham’s radio show. She asked Romney if Obama’s claim that the economy is getting better is true. Romney replied: Well of course it’s getting better. The economy always gets better after the recession. There’s always a recovery. There’s never been a time anywhere in the world […]
“Team Romney is misspelling words all over the map. They misspelled America, they misspelled the word official, they misspelled Reagan… I think we are going to find out that Mitt is actually dyslexic and his name is Tim.” – Bill Maher “Both Obama and Mitt Romney went on the Country Music Television Awards. And I’m […]
© John Jonik I don’t know what conservative and liberal mean any more. Once upon a time, the party of Lincoln was the party of civil rights. Later, the party of Teddy Roosevelt was the party of conserving the environment. The party of Eisenhower built the national highway system and warned us about the dangers […]
The RNC is attempting to reach out to Hispanics by creating a website RNCLatinos.com. Here’s a partial screen shot: There’s just one problem. US News and World Report recognized the photo of the children as a stock photo from Shutterstock. The tags for the photo include the words asia, asian, japanese, and thailand, but not […]
John Oliver hilariously destroys Florida’s new voter registration law: Is it just my imagination, or does John Fund (the guy being interviewed in favor of the new law) appear to not actually believe what he is saying? I also want to point out one of my pet peeves — that he is confusing voter registration […]
In the British inquiry into Rupert Murdoch and his newspapers, former conservative prime minister John Major testified under oath that Murdoch demanded that the government change its policy toward becoming part of the European Union or else his papers would oppose Major in the upcoming election. Major declined to change the policy and sure enough, […]
© Tom Toles We know what the problem is, and we know how to fix it. Will we have the guts and political will? Or will the car wrecks continue?
© David Horsey This comic is referring to a recent ad from the Romney campaign, which uses an out-of-context quote from Obama saying “The private sector is doing fine.” and using it to claim that Obama is “out of touch”. But not only was the quote taken out of context (Obama was pointing out that […]
On the last day of their legislative session, Louisiana passed a funding plan for schools that includes school vouchers that can be used to pay tuition at religious schools. What’s ironic is that the Islamic School of Greater New Orleans has applied to be included in the voucher program. I’m looking forward to seeing religious […]
“President Obama’s campaign is spending $12 million on a one-minute commercial hitting Mitt Romney’s business record. Though Obama’s made some bad business moves too — like spending $12 million on a one-minute commercial.” – Jimmy Fallon “There were some tense moments yesterday during President Obama’s visit to Los Angeles. Three private planes drifted into his […]
Jen Sorensen, the genius behind the Slowpoke comic, recently created a series of comics for Kaiser Health News. You should go view them here, but in case you need some incentive, here’s the first one: © Jen Sorensen Her experience mirrors mine (with the exception of the birth control pill part), when I was working […]
