Five Biggest Lies of the RNC
There were hundreds of lies, large and small, told on the stage at the Republican National Convention. The lies listed below were uncommonly pernicious. They were told again and again in voice after voice, by speakers of differing ideological backgrounds and different political proclivities, suggesting that these are the lies with which Republicans hope to [...]
Paul Ryan: Don’t Worry About My Batshit Rape-Abortion Stance Because I’m Not Running for President
Remember, a few months back, when we were all nervously ROFLing about Rick Santorum? Sure, we were scared shitless. After all, Santorum said that abortion should not be permitted in cases of rape or incest. Instead, he told sexual assault victims to “make the best out of a bad situation” and called rape babies a [...]
Would Susan B. Anthony List’s Karen Harrington Endorsement Make Its Namesake Proud?
As you probably know, Susan B. Anthony was an iconic feminist who spent her life fighting for women’s rights. So you would think that any list bearing her name would obviously endorse someone like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose pro-woman credentials include introducing the EARLY Act in 2009 (which helps empower women to make informed decisions [...]
Romney’s Pro-Woman Pandering Reminiscent of Sleazy Ex-Lovers
In what appears to be a half-assed attempt to win back the hearts of the Republican Party’s disenchanted women, Mitt Romney’s campaign recently released a surprising statistic. The claim: 92.3 percent of all jobs lost during the Obama administration have been by women. On the surface, the number is quite staggering. It’s enough to bring [...]
Danation: Time Once Again for Obama the Fighter
We’re nearing general election season. The Republican primary is over now. The Paul campaign, as usual, never really got off the ground. The Gingrich campaign went careening into a ditch on March 13, when Alabama and Mississippi picked Santorum over Gingrich, despite the man from Georgia’s race-baiting, xenophobic campaign. And Santorum’s campaign is like something [...]
Danation: Can We Please Start Saying “Romney vs. Obama” Now?
Another three Republican presidential primary contests took place last night, and boy howdy! That Wisconsin one sure was a nailbiter, kinda sorta! Wowee, nothing like a close horse race, and … no, no, no. I can’t do it. No rational person could possibly be interested in the Republican nominating process anymore. Mexican-American presidential candidate Mitt [...]
Danation: Even Post-Etch a Sketch, It’s All About the Numbers
The long march continued with Illinois last night. I would offer the cliché that there is no end in sight, but there is – it’s just that it’s several months away, which seems like forever in politics. But after June 5, Mexican American presidential candidate Mitt “Etch a Sketch” Romney will surely be the Republican [...]
Danation: Changing the Game
Rick Santorum pulled in his largest single-state gain of delegates Saturday with his win in Kansas, and who gives a damn? This thing’s all over but the crying. Mexican American presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee for president, regardless of what may or may not be the matter with Kansas. Tomorrow’s contests [...]
Danation: Super Morning After
Not many surprises last night, though I do have to say that, with 70 percent of precincts reporting from Ohio, and with Rick Santorum up by some 15,000 votes I called Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas “crazy” over Twitter for maintaining that it would nevertheless be a razor-thin victory for Mitt Romney. Sure, the major [...]
