Jon Stewart gives the best recap of Clint Eastwood’s speech at the Republican National Convention, and how his performance neatly sums up the whole convention. Sorry this is split into three videos, but they are relatively short and you should watch all three of them: Eastwood’s performance also elicited a big response on twitter. Here […]
While the Republican National Convention is busy trying to promote their narrative that Obama has been a disappointment of a president, there are two things that you should remember: First of all, that it is a lie. Despite relentless opposition from the Republicans — who even opposed their own ideas (like Romneycare/Obamacare) when Obama adopted […]

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that with the start of the Republican National Convention the nut cases are coming out. Donald Trump just had to wade into birther conspiracies once again. What I can’t understand is why anyone listens to anything he says any more. But wait, it gets better. Rush Limbaugh is trying […]
In an interview with CBS, Mitt Romney tries to deflect the blowback that the Republican Party is receiving due to their hardline stance on abortion. The Republican Party platform calls for a constitutional amendment banning abortion. After all, if you believe that an embryo is a person, then any abortion — even in the case […]
On the eve of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida, the former Republican governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, has endorsed Barack Obama for president: As America prepares to pick our president for the next four years — and as Florida prepares once again to play a decisive role — I’m confident that President Barack […]
Gov. Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency for Florida, although some might wonder whether it is because of the approaching hurricane, or because of the impending inundation of Republicans arriving for the convention. Isaac has already caused three deaths in Haiti. I hope everyone stays safe. © Jim Morin UPDATE: The Republicans have […]
I don’t believe it for a moment, but you do have to ask the question… Four years ago, James Dobson and Focus On the Family actually ran an ad calling for people to pray to God to rain out Barack Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. I don’t know how many people […]
I have some sympathy for politicians who make verbal gaffes. After all, everybody says things they regret later. So I’m curious about what people think of current Congressman and GOP Senate candidate Todd Akin, who was asked why he opposes abortion even in the case of rape. Akin claimed that “from what I understand from […]
Last week I posted a video with Soledad O’Brien interviewing John Sununu, and challenging him when he repeated lies Republican talking points. Well, it looks like CNN acting like a source of real journalism wasn’t a fluke. This week, O’Brien challenged Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) to explain his claim that Paul Ryan’s plan for Medicare […]
Facts are stubborn things. The GOP game plan with facts seems to be to make some up, then repeat them so many times that people start to believe them. And usually the media lets them get away with it. But CNN’s Soledad O’Brien actually challenges these falsehoods! OMG, a real journalist? But it is interesting […]
The vast majority of Republicans have signed a pledge to not raise taxes, and have repeatedly claimed that letting a tax cut expire is the same thing as raising taxes. That’s why they are insisting that Congress extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, even though those cuts were intended to be temporary. However, […]
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision upholding ObamaCare, several Republican governors — including Rick Perry (TX), Rick Scott (FL), Nikki Haley (SC) and Bobby Jindal (LA) — have vowed to resist the law by refusing to set up a health insurance exchange in their state. Ironically, doing this will give the federal government […]
