Politico has an article up talking about the fears of occupy protesters “disrupting” the caucuses tomorrow. While reading the article, something really caught my eye: Iowa state Rep. Clel Baudler predicted that potential protestors at his caucus site in Adair County should expect a response that “will be swift and it will be sure.” “Since […]
Told ya it was crazy season! There’s off message and then there’s Mitt Romney’s son, Matt Romney, who suggested on Thursday that President Obama should release his birth certificate and grades before his father releases his tax returns. Again – President Obama DID release his birth certificate. As far as the grades? Well not many […]
Just got this from a CNN breaking news email: A person hired to collect names to get Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on the ballot for the Virginia primary turned in fraudulent signatures, Gingrich says. “We hired somebody who turned in false signatures. We turned in 11,100 — we needed 10,000 — 1,500 of them […]
A couple of weeks ago I did a post on Newt being called into Congress in 2003 to persuade lobby members of the House GOP to support the Medicare prescription drug benefit.

Charles Johnson over at LGF has the details: Andrew Kaczynski has dug up yet another buried video, a 1998 John Birch Society documentary starring none other than Ron Paul — a classic example of far right paranoia and conspiracy theorizing. Dr. Paul carefully explains that the United Nations is plotting to take over America, create […]
There are two stories currently appearing on Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government talking about the Virginia GOP Primary fiasco. One of the stories, by Charles C. Johnson, gives this explanation to the cause of the problem that lead to the rule change: Worse yet, Virginia’s House of Delegates complicated matters further when voters may not know […]
E.J. Dionne has a really interesting article up today and one I totally agree with. He finishes with this: Obama will thus be the conservative in 2012, in the truest sense of that word. He is the candidate defending the modestly redistributive and regulatory government the country has relied on since the New Deal, and […]
Rick Perry just loves spending taxpayer dollars: Gov.

His state-provided security guards were flying pretty high, too, spending more than $32,000 in taxpayer money […]
