Awesome quote: In response to the new Republican talking point that “the President will negotiate with the Iranians, but not with Republicans”. Jon responds “If it turns out that president Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hard-line, unreasonable, totalitarian Mullahs in the world, but not with Republicans, maybe he’s not the […]
© Adam Zyglis Even some Republicans are standing up to Ted Cruz and his efforts to shut down the government. Which is difficult for them, since right-wing groups have punished severely any GOP politician who dares to vote the same way as Obama (even on a health care bill that was originally a conservative idea). […]

A lot. Want proof? Just look to California. People like to think of California as uber liberal, but it really isn’t. After all, it is the home of Orange county (one of the most conservative places in the US), was the state of Reagan and Nixon, the birthplace of modern religious conservatism, and it fired […]
I don’t watch Rachel Maddow (or much TV of any kind) on a regular basis, but sometimes I really enjoy the things she talks about. Plus I really like her guest, Ezra Klein. This segment is hilarious. It documents recent complete about-faces performed by Republican politicians. Yes, they really perform impossible flip-flops, sometimes in real […]

© Jack Ohman So what is the GOP doing? Repairing the economy? Reducing the deficit? Well, Actually No. Rand Paul introduces his “Life at Conception” act, which declares that life begins at conception, making abortion murder (so should that be punishable by the death penalty?). And failed VP candidate Paul Ryan introduces a budget that […]
There’s a fascinating article in BBC News that describes how Richard Nixon deliberately and clandestinely sabotaged the peace talks that were about to produce a halt to the bombing in the war in Vietnam. One of Nixon’s senior campaign advisors convinced the South Vietnamese to pull out of the peace talks, promising them a better […]

In s must-read article in The Daily Beast, conservative Mark McKinnon says: What I want for Christmas is a new Republican Party. Or I’ll take the old Republican Party of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, or George W. Bush. What I don’t want is the Republican Party we have today. As former George W. […]

From Michael Grunwald in Time Magazine. Finally someone called them out on this: It’s really amazing to see political reporters dutifully passing along Republican complaints that President Obama’s opening offer in the fiscal cliff talks is just a recycled version of his old plan, when those same reporters spent the last year dutifully passing along […]
