This is not only ironic on so many different levels, it is hilarious and yet serious at the same time.

© Tom Toles I wonder how many people the Obama campaign has going over what Romney said during the primary campaign and ready to compare it to what he says during the actual election. Quite a few, if this is any indication. This is going to be interesting.

The Supreme Court may have a chance to reconsider their decision in Citizens United. The state of Montana claims that they have the right to limit corporate spending in state elections. It will be interesting to see if the court has the guts to reverse their boneheaded Citizens United decision. Or as two of the […]
© Keith Knight I’m waiting for a definition of “activist judge” that isn’t just “does things I don’t like”.
While the Republicans seem to throw all their energy into winning political battles, they have a very short attention span when it comes to actually governing. Their emphasis is on tactics, not on strategy. So while they somehow managed to win the 2010 midterm elections, they fumbled the ball after that. And overturning health care […]

I realize that the Republican base doesn’t seem to even notice lies, but it looks like Obama will be willing to remind independent and swing voters.
© Clay Bennett The Republicans are doubling down on their crazy budget that gives even more tax breaks to the rich, while replacing Medicare with vouchers that won’t even cover the cost of insurance for the ever increasing number of elderly citizens. It is clearly a cynical campaign ploy so they can claim they tried […]

Rachel Maddow has an incredible story about how the Michigan legislature is violating the rule of law, and doing everything they can to get rid of democracy in the state, both at the local level and in the legislature itself.
Last year, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker became notorious for stripping public workers of their right to collective bargaining. But last week, a federal judge reversed the key provisions of that law. What makes this ironic is that the judge repeatedly cited the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, saying that Walker’s law violated the free speech […]
Kevin Siers Why are the Republicans still pushing “trickle down” economics? And why are people letting them get away with it?
A spot check of election results in Palm Beach, Florida (land of questionable elections) turned up a few inconsistencies, so a judge ordered a hand recount of the ballots that had been tabulated using a computer system from Sequoia Voting Systems. Why did it take a judge to order a recount? Because, hand counting ballots […]
© Tom Tomorrow Is it possible for the health care debate to get any more insane? I’m curious why the business community is not speaking out in defense of Obamacare. Anything that can bring down the cost of health insurance, while keeping workers healthier, will be a tremendous boon to the economy. Even the health […]

I complain about the lack of bipartisan cooperation in Congress, but this is not what I was looking for. The group Vet Voice, led by progressive Jon Soltz, is putting pressure on Congress to pass a bill introduced by Rep. Pete King (R-NY) and Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) to prohibit people who are on the […]
© Ed Stein [commentary by Ed Stein] Another one about the Supreme Court’s likely decision, unthinkable just a few months ago. If the Court throws this back to Congress, it may be another generation before Americans can enjoy the health care security that every other industrialized democracy enjoys. In the meantime, more millions will be […]
© Adam Zyglis I’ve heard of being two-faced, but this is ridiculous.
