I once read that Arnold Schwarzenegger said he picked the Republican party over the Democratic party because they are winners. This was one of those nights when you were reminded why they often win. After a non-start to the Republican National Convention on Monday, and last night’s sometimes effective, but mostly lukewarm speeches from the [...]

To the great dismay of Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, Mitt Romney made his grand exit from the national stage yesterday, bowing out of the presidential campaign no less the fear monger than when he entered. His uplifting clear-sighted parting words? “Staying in the race would make it easier for [the Democratic party candidate] to [...]

Poor stiff ultra-white Mitt Romney did not say “who let the dogs out” at the beginning of this clip. Someone please say it’s a hoax. And let’s hope he didn’t really say that the infant at the end of the clip is wearing “bling bling.” No, god, he did not.
A final note from the [...]

It’s Michigan day, where Hillary is running pretty much alone for no delegates on the Democrat side. Why would she do that?
On the Republican side, Huckabee and McCain, the frontrunners (!?), are competing for votes from Americans who have been screwed hard and repeatedly by pro-corporate policy, including free trade generally and water [...]

In New Hampshire, the days before primary voters head to the polls, all the candidates are looking to ride the wave of Iowa-generated Obama Momentum by talking about change, a mostly laughable word in the mouths of U.S. politicians on any day and ironically hilarious in the case of Mitt Romney, a sudden “change” candidate [...]

Why Rudy? Because in the world beyond America there still exist lots of Muslim people who are just totally crazy, who listen to strange music and wear strange clothes and mean to Do Us Harm. And isn’t that reason enough? Because we’re just shivering little people here in America, afraid of our own shadows. Because [...]

In case any one of the major players of the christian right haven’t heard it yet, Mitt Romney is the family values candidate! This gem spot features his wife, who recounts his real priorities, the way he tells her that “she’s the one doing the important work” in the family, raising the kids, and that [...]

It’s official: Mitt Romney is the Giantest Panderer of the presidential field. His most-recent effort to please is a say-that-you-love-me radio address full of tired “conservative Republican” “No New Tax” pledging. Hasn’t it been officially established yet that, given the state of affairs, tax cutting is not leadership, not a boon of any sort to [...]

Mitt Romney makes a campaign stop at a diner in New Hampshire. He opens with the usual pandering candidate-with-regular-folk schtick but then decides to try out some new material. He says we can reach out to “moderate muslim” and “poor African” states by practicing what he calls “healthcare diplomacy.” What? Has he noticed that most [...]

Miitt Romney, the Republicans’ top family values and big love candidate, is fearful of the internet because… he doesn’t know anything about it. Over the last few weeks, he has been turning his campaign into an anti-internet-porn crusade, taking a strong stand against sexual predators on “these networking sites.” He wants to lock up the [...]
