So it turns our Mitt Romney’s father did not march with Martin Luther King, and now Romney is trying to brush off the comment by saying he was speaking “figuratively”. Figuratively? Is that some fancy new wingnut word for lying? It amazes me how these Republicans get out there and try to out holy the […]
Chris Dodd is standing up for the rule of law today and is going to filibuster the bill giving telecom companies immunity in illegal wiretapping. He is looking for questions to address during his time on the floor, and you can help by going here and submitting some. It’s pretty sad that the Republicans don’t […]
It amazes me how disappointed the Republicans are that the NIE put a damper on their wet dream of a war with Iran: Some Republicans in Congress are second-guessing a government intelligence report that Iran has abandoned its nuclear weapons program. They want a second opinion. The National Intelligence Estimate, released last week, concludes Iran […]
After all it’s just like swimming. Just ask Republican Senator Kit Bond: Since television is taking a major turn towards reality shows, this could become a great new hit. Everyone who defends waterboarding gets a chance to prove how gentle it is by getting waterboarded on national television.
When they talk about warantless wiretapping, Republicans are quick to say that the constitution should take a back seat to security.

As New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons, according to previously undisclosed government records. The documents, obtained by Politico under […]
Mitt Romney: . . . based on the numbers of American Muslims [as a percentage] in our population, I cannot see that a cabinet position would be justified. But of course, I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration. The hidden lesson here – cabinet positions are filled based upon […]
That is an astonishing number from the latest ABC/WaPo poll. This country is fed up with how it is being run. I don’t give the Republicans the sole blame for this either. The Democrats have give their fair share of help to this low number. They came into power last year promising all this change, […]
No – not for President, but I am supporting him in this: Talking Points Memo’s Greg Sargent is reporting today that the Romney campaign has fired a broadside at Fox News, which issued a directive in the wake of John McCain’s “Woodstock ad” forbidding the use of their footage for campaign advertisements. Yes candidates should […]
