I don’t believe it for a moment, but you do have to ask the question… Four years ago, James Dobson and Focus On the Family actually ran an ad calling for people to pray to God to rain out Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. I don’t know how many people […]
“Mitt Romney said he will not release any more tax returns. He said that he guarantees that he paid at least 13 percent every year. 13 percent? That’s not a tax, that’s a tip. In fact, it’s even a crappy tip.” – Jay Leno “In a new interview with Fortune magazine, Mitt Romney says he […]
Does Paul Ryan have a memory problem? For example, just before being named as Romney’s running mate, Ryan suddenly amended his financial disclosure statements to add an income producing trust that is worth between $1 and $5 million. Members of Congress are required to disclose major financial holdings, but Ryan claimed that leaving the trust […]
Our old friend and master of statistics Nate Silver has an interesting column that points out an interesting fact. Most polls try to survey only likely voters, since only people who vote determine elections. But a recent survey did the opposite, surveying people who were either not registered to vote, or who said they were […]
“Republicans like Paul Ryan because they say he’s a fiscal conservative, and that’s a perfect balance for Romney who’s a guy that has an elevator for his Cadillacs.” – David Letterman “Thank you for coming out on a hot day. The heat has not let up here. It was 109 today in Los Angeles. I […]
© Matt Wuerker The inventors of Swift Boating are accusing Obama of running a negative campaign? Because they are pressuring Romney to release his tax returns?
I have some sympathy for politicians who make verbal gaffes. After all, everybody says things they regret later. So I’m curious about what people think of current Congressman and GOP Senate candidate Todd Akin, who was asked why he opposes abortion even in the case of rape. Akin claimed that “from what I understand from […]
“Mitt Romney has picked Paul Ryan as his running mate. Experts say Ryan can add something vital to this campaign that Mitt Romney lacks: a personality.” – Jay Leno “Have you seen these guys, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan? They look like father and son dentists.” – David Letterman “Mitt Romney kept his selection of […]
Last week I posted a video with Soledad O’Brien interviewing John Sununu, and challenging him when he repeated lies Republican talking points. Well, it looks like CNN acting like a source of real journalism wasn’t a fluke. This week, O’Brien challenged Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) to explain his claim that Paul Ryan’s plan for Medicare […]
In 2009, Republican legislators in Kentucky passed a law that required testing of high school students to evaluate if those students are ready for college. That sounds very good! But now the results have come back, and some members of the GOP are upset because the test requires the students to have a good knowledge […]
I fully admit that this is blatantly political, but he is just so darned cute:
“Mitt Romney is hoping to energize Republicans by announcing Paul Ryan as his running mate. Seriously? That’s like trying to spice up a bowl of oatmeal with more oatmeal.” – Jimmy Fallon “On Sunday, Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running mate. Forty-three percent of Americans have never heard of Ryan and the others […]
“That’s the price you pay to prevent something that doesn’t happen.” But my favorite part is the legislator who designed the bill even brags about it allowing Romney win the election. At least he’s transparent!
[LOLGOP has a great rant about Republicans and budget deficits. Enjoy! –iron] The Big Lie of the Day: Republicans Balance Federal Budgets The Lie: Republicans have a plan to balance the federal budget and care deeply about fiscal responsibility. The Truth: The last Republican president who ever balanced the budget was Dwight Eisenhower. Between 1998 […]
© Joel Pett Ayn Rand, right-wing hero, was an outspoken atheist with a very low opinion of religion — “Faith is the worst curse of mankind, as the exact antithesis and enemy of thought.” She was strongly in favor of abortion rights, saying: Abortion is a moral right—which should be left to the sole discretion […]
