Anyone watch the entire video regarding Romney's remarks about Latino's and African Americans? What a piece of shtein.

yeah, he's a total fraud.  But hey, so long as poor people are dumb enough to vote for him, who cares.  Thats all Mitters wants.

And Republicans reach a new low:

We'll send you all over the world to kill for us but once you come back you're on your own. More tax breaks for the billionaires!

[Munson]

Nothing good is ever going to get done in this climate as long as that stupid 60 vote rule in the senate stays.

Just read a blurb about the veteran jobs bill vote that said senate republicans literally ran away from the press after the vote. Haha. Douchebag cowards.

One of the few areas where I tend to be conservative is the topic of our military (not neo-conservative, hippos, just conservative) and to see something like this get shot down by the right in an effort to rob the president of political points if farging shameful.

How many active and retired military will still vote for the GOP despite getting kicked in the face by them again and again?

This was a bipartisan effort to aid veterans transitioning from active duty to the private sector and they still said, farg you to them.  Yet they have the balls to wave flags and pledge their love and admiration at every turn.   

Just disgusting.

[Munson]

More OBummer dumbocrat spending bills that don't work!

Damned good article about the GOP's foreign policy failure. I especially liked this:

First, when it comes to Islamic militants, the idea of "intimidating" them is nonsensical. Radicals who long to die in battle will not be deterred by threats of death. Exceptions exist, but most believe they are fighting a vast Christian-Jewish-Hindu conspiracy to obliterate Islam from the face of the earth. We are dealing with a delusional enemy, not a group of Soviet Politburo members.

Failure to adapt leads to extinction.

That was the best 10 minutes The Daily Show has put together in a few months now. Wow.

He just got divorced, and his wife wanted $200 million, which she contended was half of his net worth. What she ended up getting wasn't disclosed.
