Danny Tarkanian is the Republican nominee in a newly created congressional district in Nevada. He also seems to think his opponent has a very good makeup artist. During a speech to a GOP club earlier this week, Tarkanian went into a lengthy rant about how “all these black Democrats” have accused him of making a racist comment. He then levied … Read More
Romney Says “Trust Me. I’ve Never Paid Less Than 13% In Taxes”
Okay, Mitt. First of all, we shouldn't have to trust you. Release your tax returns just like every other presidential candidate has done for the last 40 years. Secondly, someone with your income should be paying 35% in taxes. Obviously, you're taking advantage of tax loopholes that middle class taxpayers can't take advantage of. Which is baaaaaad. Obama campaign sez: Mitt … Read More
Faux Outrage
Let me get this straight. Romney has been saying for weeks that he wants to "unshackle" Wall Street from regulations. Last night, Joe Biden picks up on the metaphor, and quips that Romney's policies will lead the middle class "back in chains". Then, the Romney camp gets offended, because putting people in chains means… SLAVERY. And how DARE Joe Biden … Read More
And I Am Ryan Gosling
Boy are they delusional at Fox, and going full steam with their Paul Ryan worship. Check out this tweet: Um……… NO! They don't look ANYTHING alike! Sure, they both have hair and two eyes and a nose and mouth, but…. Geez, Fox. Get a grip. Take a cold shower.
The Headline Vs. The Story
In case you didn't know, this country is facing a serious drought problem. Drought conditions plague 78% of the country. This is making it hard for the farmer. So Mitt Romney decided to make it a campaign priority. And last week, he visited a farmer In Iowa who walked him through the deplorable conditions. Under the headline "Iowa Farmer Gives … Read More
Under Ryan’s Plan, Mitt Romney’s Tax Rate Would Be < 1%
From The Atlantic: Under Paul Ryan’s plan, Mitt Romney wouldn’t pay any taxes for the next ten years — or any of the years after that. Now, do I know that that’s true. Yes, I’m certain. Well, maybe not quite nothing. In 2010 — the only year we have seen a full return from him — Romney would have paid an effective … Read More
Thoughts On Mr. Ayn Rand
So Mitt picked Paul Ryan to be his running mate. No, he's not Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin was the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska — the only political position that she held to completion. She touted her foreign policy experience because she could see Russia from her house, and didn't read the newspapers. Paul Ryan isn't that stupid. But to hear … Read More
Anti-Romney Ads Paying Off
The Obama campaign has been hammering Romney on Bain Capital, as well as his commitment to not releasing his tax records. And it is working. Three national polls in the past two days show a significant Obama lead. I already mentioned one: the Reuters/Ipsos poll showing Obama up by 7 points. The next day, CNN had another poll also showing Obama … Read More
Romney Campaign Shoots Itself In The Foot…. Badly
It started out simply enough. A new Priorities USA ad tells the story of a man, Joe Soptic, who lost his job — and thus his health insurance — after Bain bought out his plant. Years later his wife died what may have been a preventable death of cancer. It's not a very good ad. Romney's not a killer, although this … Read More
A Check Into The Horserace
I'm not really big on national presidential polls this early in the race. They will swing wildly following the conventions, Romney's VP pick, and the debates. Still, it's kind of interesting to see where each candidate stands before we get to all those watershed moments. And things look good for Obama today – A new poll of registered voters from Reuters/Ipsos out today has … Read More

Surprised? – Romney Wants To Increase Taxes On Everybody So That His Will Be Lower
Well-played, Mr Robber Baron Mitt Romney’s plan to overhaul the tax code would produce cuts for the richest 5 percent of Americans — and bigger bills for everybody else, according to an independent analysis set for release Wednesday. The study was conducted by researchers at the Brookings Institution and the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, who usually bend over backward to … Read More
