Face it – the GOP has a really bad memory. It became evident in January of 2009, when Republicans suddenly realized our economy was in serious trouble the day President Obama was sworn into office.

Some very good news on the SOPA front: Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) will not support the Stop Online Piracy Act, according to a statement released by his office Monday.

An op-ed that Eric Cantor wrote for yesterday’s Washington Post is very interesting, to say the least: But the politics of division have reared up, fueled by efforts to incite class warfare.

History really does repeat itself: Months after they hammered Democrats for cutting Medicare, House Republicans are debating whether to relaunch their quest to privatize the health program for seniors.
