It’s really bad for Mitt Romney when even John Boehner won’t defend him: Even as he joked “I just hope I survive,” House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) declined to defend Mitt Romney’s now-infamous 47 percent remarks Thursday, and insisted the Republican ticket can still win. Boehner wouldn’t be joking like that if a little part […]
Byron York has a blog post up which must be one of the most idiotic things I have read in a long time: Byron York: Voters fret about economy, Dems focus on abortion “This election, to me, is about which candidate is more likely to return us to full employment,” says former President Bill Clinton […]
Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY) has taken his parties leadership to task. In an interview with the Post-Standard editorial board, he had this to say: I have to say that I’m frustrated by how much we — I mean the Republican Party — are willing to give deferential treatment to our extremes in this moment in […]
Last week I asked why the House Republican leadership was stalling on the Farm Bill, especially with corn and soy at record highs from the drought. Now we know why – politics: Senate-passed bills to cut farm subsidies and food stamps and overhaul the financially teetering Postal Service have been put on hold by House […]

You are going to see your grocery bill go up even more. The cause is something that no party can control, the weather: Corn prices […]
John Boehner would almost be comical if it wasn’t for the extreme delusional state that man lives in. Here’s what he told reporters a bit ago: Boehner said the president’s focus on Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital shows that Obama, in Boehner’s words, “doesn’t give a damn about middle class Americans who are out there […]
Rush Limbaugh may have really stepped in it this time. On his show yesterday he called Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown student and contraceptive advocate, a “slut”. He also said that any woman who advocates for contraceptives should post their online sex videos: Yesterday Sandra Flake responded to Rush on the Ed Schultz show: I guess […]
John Boehner is here, in his district today, to unveil the Republican jobs plan: U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester Twp., will talk at ThyssenKrupp Bilstein of America Inc. on Monday about the U.S. House Republicans’ jobs plan. This is the second time a major Republican politician has promoted their jobs plans at ThyssenKrupp, […]
Bob Cesca points to this line from Newt Gingrich: GINGRICH: “When I was speaker, we had four consecutive balanced budgets.” As Bob points out, we only had two, not four balanced budgets. But there is something else here that has been eating away at me. More and more the right is trying to make it […]
One of the reasons John Boehner has said that his people opposed the 2 month extension of the tax cut is that the payroll processors would have problems with it. That makes we wonder about this: Just under two years ago, House Republicans, including some of the party’s more conservative members, were arguing that a […]
