Awwww…. Newt wants us to see him as a big softy: Forget the back and forth attacks with Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich’s campaign has decided to take another route on his bid to the Republican nomination: pets and music. The campaign said today that it will soon launch a “Pets With Newt” site aimed at […]
The Senate and House have both passed the 2 month extension of the payroll tax cut, sending it to President Obama for his signature. Looks like Americans can breath a little easier this holiday, but the fight will continue after the first of the year.
He wants you to think he’s the common man, while hiding his estimated wealth upwards of a quarter billion dollars: Mitt Romney, who is one of the wealthiest men ever to seek the presidency, said on Wednesday that he had no intention of releasing his tax returns if he became the Republican presidential nominee, breaking […]
Boehner just announced that they will agree to the two month extension, while he held back tears (seriously – it looked like they were ready to come out!).

Something that really deserves more attention is the lack of any powerhouses within the GOP. We saw this in 2008, when Republicans had to suck it up and vote for John McCain. We are seeing it again now with the right trying to figure out which Republican candidate is the lesser of two evils. Are […]
