Mitt Romney Brought Every Mitt Romney He Could to the Debate, and President Obama Destroyed Them All
We’ve finally returned from Bizarro World. The first presidential debate flipped everything we knew on its head: Obama looked ineffectual and weak, like a Democrat from 2004 or 1988. Romney appeared to first-time viewers to be a moderate who was chipper, friendly, and in control. (After a little bit of research, anyone could discover that […]

Okay, now guess again: Now, though, the military’s support has shifted toward Obama. Romney has consistently received little financial backing from military donors.

With Less Than a Month Left, It’s Time for the Right to Go Full-on Racist
Back in 2008, as Election Day approached, Republican racism really kicked into overdrive. Republicans were calling Obama a Muslim terrorist, they were obsessing over Michelle Obama’s nonexistent “whitey” tape, and videos of Republicans spewing crazy racist things became a blogging trend.

“Joe Biden Was Right to Laugh”
Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone: Biden did absolutely roll his eyes, snort, laugh derisively and throw his hands up in the air whenever Ryan trotted out his little beady-eyed BS-isms. But he should have! He was absolutely right to be doing it. We all should be doing it. That includes all of us in the […]

In a Serious Blow to the Obama Campaign, Lindsay Lohan Has Endorsed Mitt Romney
That first debate was a tough one, but this is a real heartbreaker: LOS ANGELES – Four years ago, Lindsay Lohan referred to Obama’s Presidential victory as “amazing,” but cut to 2012, and it seems the “Mean Girls” star has had a serious change of heart. “I think unemployment is very important for now, so […]
