Opinion: Amazing 'Stupid Things'
Former House Republican Leader Dick Armey criticized GOP candidates for saying "stupid things," but here is one problem: The 2012 candidates were talking about Republican policy.
Opinion: Seceding From The Union Is Not A Good Idea
I find interest in the circus surrounding people in the fifty states of the Union petitioning to secede from the United States since President Barack Obama was reelected two weeks ago, I'll be the first to admit that any state seceding from the Union is a terrible idea.
Opinion: 'I'm Not A Scientist, Man' And The GOP's War On Reason
If Republicans, as a political party, continue this hostility toward science then they do not understand the driving force that science and innovation play in our economy. It also is another proof point in the case that Democrats made about Republican math not adding up.
Opinion: Elections Have Consequences
The day after the voters spoke in our democracy, Republicans sought to set aside the results and focus on winning next time. It is not just a losing proposition for Republicans, it is a losing proposition for America.
Opinion: Another Hurricane Reminds Us Of The Need For An Effective Administration
The 2012 presidential campaign between President Obama and Mitt Romney will be book-ended by hurricanes.
Opinion: Why Don't Republicans Understand Rape?
Once again, a Republican politician has said something extreme about rape. Extreme and extremely stupid.
Opinion: Obama's Talk Of A War on Women Contradicted By The Elevation Of Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton is a glowing example of the heights women are reaching in the United States in recent times. She contradicts the notion thrust forth by President Obama and his political party that there is an alleged-"War on Women".
Opinion: Dumping Cold Water On Trump's October Surprise
While Trump may have an "October surprise" that will destroy President Obama's reelection campaign for the White House, I don't think it's going to be much more than seeing Trump get the headlines for part of the day, again.
Opinion: Binders Full Of Women Is Only Tip Of Romney Anti-Women Iceberg
Romney is lucky that people grabbed on to the "binders full of women" comment because his comment about giving his female Chief of Staff flex time so she could go home and cook dinner was mostly over looked.
CBS Local Presidential Forum: Obama/Romney: Duke It Out Over Energy And Health Care
The two presidential candidates were asked a question by CBS Local about Obamacare vs. Romneycare and asked them to talk about the similarities or differences between the two plans.
Opinion: Rivard Yet Another Republican To Devalue Women
"Some girls rape easy." Those are the shocking words of Roger Rivard, a Republican state representative in Wisconsin previously endorsed by Paul Ryan.
Opinion: Mitt Romney Lie-O-Rama Tour Continues
Romney might say he won't restrict a woman's right to choose, but his message is clearly coded for his rightwing base: you do not have to worry about the Supreme Court. Relax, I'm with you, but I'm running for president for Pete's sake.
Opinion: Romney's Move To The Middle Is Nothing More Than Baseless Rhetoric
Why is Mitt Romney, the severely Conservative candidate for president, all of a sudden moving to the middle?
Opinion: Does Mitt Romney Have An October Surprise For The Debate?
Is Mitt Romney planning an October surprise of sorts for tonight? Has he been saving big policy announcements and details for the debate?
Opinion: Billions Are Being Spent On This Election, But Will It Change Anything?
For all the billions spent by the Obama and Romney campaigns, Republican and Democratic parties, and countless outside groups, we may wake up November 7th to a Washington that is virtually unchanged.
Opinion: Republicans Endorse Todd Akin As Senate Chances Slip Away
After Mitt Romney's 47% don't pay taxes remark, Conservative columnist Peggy Noonan dubbed the Romney campaign a "rolling calamity" for all its problems and continuing self-inflicted wounds. At this point, she might have to extend that label to Republican efforts to take the majority in the Senate as they flounder and flip flop.
Opinion: Republicans Are Abandoning Romney's Sinking Ship
Romney is dragging his own campaign and every Republican down. Republican operatives and House and Senate candidates have conceded as much throughout the month of September.
Opinion: Republicans Stoke Racial Resentment And Divide The Country
Mitt Romney seems to be drinking the same Kool-Aid as some of his nuttiest supporters. Mitt Romney is silent... and occasionally joins in as his endorsers make increasingly outrageous statements against the president.
Opinion: Clint Eastwood Made My Day
Last night, Clint Eastwood produced the most bizarre and uncomfortable moments in modern convention history. If Mitt Romney cannot get his campaign right. If he cannot even get the things that he can control right, how can he make the case that he can run the country?
Opinion: Paul Ryan And His Little White Lies
While Paul Ryan is entitled to his own opinions, he is not entitled to his own facts. He lied to America about Medicare. He lied to America about the debt commission. He really lied to America about the stimulus and America's debt rating.
