Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, threatened to arrest U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder after voting to hold him in contempt of congress, the first such vote in American history. Mitt Romney, himself, called for Holder to resign. “Either Mr. Holder himself should resign, or the president should ask for his resignation or remove him,” Romney said in December 2011.

Republican Congressman Darrell Issa is the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Recently, Issa has been at the forefront of exploiting the murders of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, despite requests by the families not to turn their son’s deaths into a political cudgel. Issa seems astounded that anyone could ever have thought that an […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I suppose I’m stretching the word journalists here, but here are some of the television and print people reporting on the news who are obviously in the tank for Mitt Romney. Mark Halperin, Sr. editor at Time Magazine, was granted an exclusive interview with Mitt Romney back in May. It was softball after softball, the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Once again, this writer will tackle the subjects that the mainstream media is too afraid to cover. In this edition, a thorough examination of the conservative movement and some of the gay men behind it will be presented. For the record, I support gay marriage and I’m against people who discriminate against people based on […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Mormon Prophet Thomas Monson Wraps Up Hastily Arranged Trip to Germany
on October 22nd, 2012 at 12:21 amA seemingly spur of the moment decision sent Mormon president/prophet Thomas Monson over to Germany for the last two weeks. Speculation swirls about what Monson was up to when he vanished for a week in Germany. From Oct. 13 to 20, the 85-year-old Monson, considered a “prophet, seer and revelator” by the Mormon faithful, will […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Eight days after the Benghazi attacks, CNN’s Anderson Cooper inadvertently outlined the political strategy that Republicans would follow for the next month. On September 19th, Cooper gave “exclusive new details” using unnamed sources to describe Benghazi in the months before the attack. Speaking to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Cooper asks whether there should be “an […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
CNN’s General Election Coverage of Mormonism Uncritical and Overwhelmingly Positive
on October 19th, 2012 at 1:14 pmOn a scale of 1-10, 10 being highly positive stories favorable to the Mormon Church, here’s a run-down of CNN’s coverage of Mormonism this year. You’ll notice that CNN hasn’t run a fair and balanced story (unbiased journalism is rated a 5) on Mormonism since Mitt Romney secured the Republican nomination on May 29th. 10 Marriott head […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It took me a while, but I finally figured it out. I have to give Republicans credit, over the years they’ve developed such a complicated shell game that I genuinely thought they had some depth and principle. What I’ve discovered is that they only stand for one thing; rich people getting and keeping as much […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The murder of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya set off a witch hunt in Congress for political scapegoats. The most pointed comments were made by Republican members and were directed at President Obama, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Time after time Republicans took potshots at these prominent Democrats, taking facts out […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Mormon Senator Orrin Hatch Says White House Is Lying About Benghazi
on October 15th, 2012 at 12:45 amUtah Senator Orrin Hatch, member of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, became the highest ranking Mormon in the U.S. government to push the Benghazi conspiracy theory. Saturday in Mesquite, Nevada, Hatch commented on the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya. Hatch minced no words as he parroted other […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Men Behind the Anti-Muslim Video That Sparked the Mid-East Violence
on October 13th, 2012 at 10:05 pmNakoula Basseley Nakoula, the alleged mastermind behind the anti-Islam video that set off the violence in the Arab world on September 11th, has become the fall guy for certain right wing Christian fanatics. He is currently in jail for numerous violations of his parole. ”In June 2010, he was convicted on four counts, including bank fraud […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The biggest surprise of the vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan wasn’t how much Vice-President Biden dominated on foreign policy, but rather, how inept Paul Ryan was at economic policy. He had no facts, his numbers didn’t add up, and he seemed to be running away from the Romney/Ryan budget, almost conceding the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is not a new phenomenon. Dwight Eisenhower famously picked red-baiting Richard Nixon as his VP. Asked if he could say something good that Nixon had done after he left office, Ike said, “If you give me a week, I might think of one.” Tricky Dick went on to gain the presidency, and, before he […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The House Oversight Committee held hearings yesterday on the terrorist attack in Libya that killed four Americans. One of the prime witnesses was Lt. Col. Andrew Wood, a site commander who provided security in Tripoli from February to August. The terrorist attack occurred in the city of Benghazi approximately a month after Wood left country. Wood […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Mitt Romney, probably the most famous Mormon since Brigham Young, has made a lot of hay about the violence in war-torn Libya that claimed four American lives. His media surrogates have jumped on every statement made by the State Department in hope of scoring political capital. Today, 28 days before the election, Romney’s friends in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thug Darrell Issa Leads Republican Attack on U.S. State Department
on October 10th, 2012 at 11:07 amOne of California’s most extreme Congressmen, Darrell Issa likes to use American deaths for his political gain. For months he waged a war on the U.S. Border Patrol and Attorney General Eric Holder, holding them responsible for the death of an American border agent. It was all a sham, of course. Issa is an expert […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Most people consider those who follow Ayn Rand to be cultists who are mixed up, brainwashed, and totally out of touch with reality. Paul Ryan is one such person. Ryan’s a big fan of the Russian emigre who disdained God, thought charity was a sickness, and that selfishness is the greatest virtue. Paul Ryan has […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
By now everyone had heard Jack Welch’s paranoid and delusional rantings about how government employment numbers were fixed by the Obama campaign. Welch was absolutely flabbergasted that the unemployment rate went down. This can’t be! This doesn’t smell right. This doesn’t feel right, he kept repeating and repeating. Corporate media gave Welch plenty of valuable […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I suppose it’s too much to ask that Republicans celebrate good economic news, but I was floored when so many of Mitt Romney’s backers flipped out and started spreading ludicrous conspiracy theories like rabid dogs going after their tails. On Friday, minutes after the Labor Department released a jobs report that showed the unemployment had […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Paul Ryan has been kept hidden by the Romney campaign recently. He’s become a liability, a man with such unpopular views that he has to disguise them when he’s in public. He’s distanced himself so far from who he is that he probably doesn’t recognize himself. Because of Mitt Romney’s recent struggles, Ryan was sent […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In another shameful episode of Republicans playing politics, 40 GOP senators voted against a job bill for military veterans, even after Democrats bent over backwards to address the job crisis. Last week, Democratic leaders inserted several Republican-backed provisions into the legislation in an effort to generate widespread support for the measure, including rules requiring states […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
On air with Univision America radio, Romney reportedly said he had never met with Kobach, whose endorsement his campaign touted in both 2008 and 2012 and who claims he is playing a bigger role this year than he did in the Romney previous presidential run. But in his Monday interview, Romney reportedly told Univision he’s never met Kobach… Later the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Former editor for the Weekly Standard, writer for the right-wing Washington Times and the Wall Street Journal, conservative commentator for the New York Times David Brooks can see a washed up whale with the best of them. Characterizing the bloviating Mitt Romney as Thurston Howell III, Brooks flays away at the blubber until the stench […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell Puts Romney Above Country
on September 10th, 2012 at 6:16 pm“Our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term.”
We get it– President Obama is a Kenyan socialist who hates the country and wants to kill your grandmother. That’s pretty much what the Tea Party has given us. Yes, they wrap it up in patriotic ribbons and confuse you with talk of freedom, but that basically covers the Tea Party’s contribution to society. You […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
