Sounds like Judd Gregg is really pushing to expand the size of our federal government in this video clip: Transcript via Think Progress: DR. NANCY: So what do you say to the average American who has played by all the rules who can’t have the same health care you have, and you’re one of our […]
We all know that Mark Halperin is about the biggest douche out there, but this latest stunt is beyond the pale even for him: But the other feature of “The Page” are the exceedingly juvenile photo illustrations that Halperin provides for his stories. For example! Take Mary Landrieu! She’s a moderate Democrat from Louisiana who […]
Last night Keith Olbermann pointed out that according to the new ‘conservative litmus test’ being floated around the RNC that Reagan would fail it – rather interesting since the resolution is title “Proposed RNC Resolution on Reagan’s Unity Principle for Support of Candidates”.
