Call me crazy, but the fact that Jon Huntsman couldn’t get any traction at all with Republican voters and is now dropping out of the race, shows how bankrupt the Republican party has become. It is ironic that the day Huntsman announced he was withdrawing from the race was the same day he was endorsed […]
I’ve often wondered why nobody calls out the Republican party for claiming to be the party of small government. It isn’t like there isn’t plenty of data to refute this claim. We have long known that the federal deficit has increased dramatically more under Republican presidents than Democratic ones, but Republicans could just claim that […]
“Fidel Castro declared that a robot would do a better job as president than Barack Obama. After hearing this, Mitt Romney thanked Castro for his endorsement.” – Conan O’Brien “Mitt Romney says he understands the middle class, and that he knows it’s not easy keeping a roof over your family’s heads — as well as […]
The super PAC formerly run by Stephen Colbert and now run by Jon Stewart has released their first political ad, which it will air in South Carolina this week. And it is a doozy: I love the use of John Lithgow as the narrator (who recently played a serial killer on TV). You should also […]
I remember when I was young, it was not uncommon for some people to say things that were racist, even out loud in public. The civil rights movement managed to make it unacceptable for people to be explicitly racist, but it didn’t get rid of racism itself. Those people just found more socially acceptable ways […]
[by Dean Obeldallah, reprinted from CNN] Stephen Colbert — host of “The Colbert Report” and unabashed right wing radical — is now considering running for President of the United States of America. Simply put: Colbert must be stopped! He is an existential threat to our way of life and to the exceptional nature of our […]
© Matt Bors In 2003, Rick Santorum warned that the Supreme Court using the right to privacy to strike down laws against having gay sex in your own home would essentially mean you also have the right to bigamy, polygamy, and incest. I actually have some sympathy for this viewpoint (even though I don’t agree […]
I think I predicted this! I’ll post the video of his announcement from tonight when it becomes available later, but until then you can read a transcript here. Colbert said “I am proud to announce that I am forming an exploratory committee to lay the groundwork for my possible candidacy for the president of the […]
“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 […]
[by Laurence Brown, reprinted from the Indy Tribune] Republican Presidential Race Cancelled Following Poor Ratings WASHINGTON DC – Several major television networks have announced that the Republican race for the White House – which premiered last April across America – is to be cancelled after only one caucus. Executives decided to pull the plug on […]
