Warming gas levels hit 'troubling milestone'

"Carbon dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas and stays in the atmosphere for 100 years. Some carbon dioxide is natural, mainly from decomposing dead plants and animals. Before the Industrial Age, levels were around 275 parts per million."

Meghan McCain: Karl Rove Is 'Pathetic Excuse For A Human Being'

“Yes, sick, f—-ed up, a disgusting and embarrassing scar that will forever remain on presidential politics and South Carolina history. I was furious, upset, and heartbroken when it happened, and even now if I think about it, it makes me want to vomit.” I agree -- what he did to the McCain family in 2004, he should have been publicly flogged for.

Trump sticks with 'birther' argument, Romney sticks with Trump

"John McCain stood up to the voices of extremism in his party. Why won't Mitt Romney do the same?"

Romney Says Economy is ‘A Little Better’ In Spite of Obama Policies

"Contrary to Romney’s dishonest rhetoric in Colorado today, President Obama’s all-of-the-above energy strategy has led to both greater energy production and higher employment in the energy sector. Contrast that with Mitt Romney’s backward-looking energy policy of pushing to keep giving more tax breaks to the big oil and gas companies and eliminate protections against Wall Street speculators manipulating oil prices."

Scott Walker: Unfit for Office in College, Unfit for Office Today

"To put it politely, Walker was not the sharpest tool in the shed, actually amongst the least sharp. With a C average and never graduating, I am not surprised to see him making up his own math on jobs when the real numbers don’t suit him. This reflects the utter disdain with which he holds truth, knowledge, education, and anything else that clashes with his absolutist worldview of religious and corporate based rule."

John McCain Calls Romney’s Tenure At Bain Capital ‘Cruel’

"Mitt Romney continually brags about being a job creator, but as Mad Money host Jim Cramer mentioned last week on Meet The Press that Romney is actually a “job destroyer.” Romney never apologized for making profit off of the misfortune of American workers. He simply fired them, outsourced the jobs overseas, and counted his money as the companies went down in flames."

Romney Wades Into Tricky Waters With Unemployment Rate Promise

"Romney’s prediction of his own performance also happens to correspond to economic reports that predict an unemployment rate of around 6% by 2016. That’s assuming the current economic upturn continues no matter who is President after 2012. Romney is basically admitting that he can’t get the unemployment rate down to 4% which means he lied when he made the claim in the first place. My question is why hasn’t the American people seen Romney for the huckster he is."

Karl Rove Remains the Single Most Harmful Political Presence of Our Generation

"Rove has taught his Republican sycophants how to lie, cheat and smear the reputations and character of political opponents all in the name of winning and power. Winning an election using the tactics of a lying, immoral sewer rat is not a sign of ‘genius’. It’s a sign of a sociopath with no conscience. Although by Republican voting patterns in the last few years, that’s the type of behind the scenes the right-wing GOP prefers."

Powell: Romney’s Foreign Policy Advisers ‘Are Quite Far To The Right’

"Romney has surrounded himself with foreign policy advisers that are a bit far to the right. Many of them helped push for the war in Iraq and many others are trying to do the same with Iran. Perhaps this is why Romney, as one of his advisers told the New York Times, 'doesn’t want to really engage on these issues until he’s in office.'”

‘Job Creator’ Mitt Romney Has Created 1.33% as Many Jobs as Obama

"It is apparent Romney’s campaign has to lie because he has no substantial job-creation record to stand on as reason to support his candidacy. When he was governor of Massachusetts, the state was 47^th out of 50 in jobs created."

Koch Operative Steered $55 Million To Front Groups Airing Ads Against Democrats; Ads Assailed Candidates Over Abortion, 9/11, Medicare

"The disclosure suggests that a very wide variety of Republican groups active in the last major election, from pro-life organizations that ran ads on abortion to shadowy fronts that aired partisan commercials with the infamous Ground Zero Mosque conspiracy, have been highly dependent on Koch money. The document also reveals that the Koch’s political network spent much more on electing the current Congress than previously known."

Bernie Sanders Explains in 60 Seconds Why Congress Needs to Regulate Banks

"Republican Capitalism is nothing more than a huge gambling casino where the rich get to play with the people’s money while never really taking a risk because they always win. If they lose, we bail them out. If they win, they get richer. Either way, they still get their huge salaries and their companies do not fail. That’s not Capitalism."

Weary warriors favor Obama

"'It was sheer terror,' McDowell said of the improvised explosive devices that guerrillas hid along roadways. 'They'd strap gasoline cans to IEDs. Our soldiers burned alive. You'd hear them screaming, and you couldn't do anything.' Now he is 'watching the primaries very closely to see who will be the least careless with soldiers and their families.'"

Rich Guy Romney Challenges Obama To Waterskiing Competition

"What is different about Romney is that he lives an insular life. It’s clear that his months (and years) of running for President have done nothing for his ability to truly hear the issues that voters have. It’s pretty obvious that he puts himself and his economic class on a pedestal above the serfs who ultimately pull the levers to vote for the President. What frightens me about Romney is not THAT he is rich, but that he wants to be President of the rich, and only of the rich."

RNC: Romney Is ‘Still Deciding What His Position On Immigration Is’

New Hampshire GOP Preparing New Voter Suppression Bill Based On O’Keefe ‘Sting’ Video

GOP blocks Senate debate on Dem student loan bill

Feingold: Justice Kennedy probably ‘embarrassed’ by ‘sloppy’ Citizens United decision

"The 2010 Citizens United ruling struck down key provisions of the federal McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law and gave rise to Super PACS, which can raise an unlimited amount of money to influence federal elections as long as they do not directly coordinate with a candidate’s campaign."

Romney Refuses To Stand Up To Woman Who Says Obama Should Be ‘Tried For Treason’

"Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) understood this. At a town hall event in October, 2008, McCain fielded a comment from a woman who said Obama 'is an Arab.' 'No ma’am,' McCain said, shaking his head and taking the microphone from her hand. 'He’s a decent, family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with,' he said, earning a mix of applause and boos."

GOP plan boosts Pentagon, cuts social programs

"Fully one-fourth of the House GOP spending cuts come from programs directly benefiting the poor, such as Medicaid, food stamps, the Social Services Block Grant, and a child tax credit claimed by working immigrants. Federal workers would have to contribute an additional 5 percent of their salaries toward their pensions, while people whose incomes rise after receiving coverage subsidies under the new health care law would lose some or all of their benefits."

Dubya Is Back

"Judging from his lineup of close trusted advisers what Americans will expect from a Romney presidency is a replay of the Bush-Cheney foreign policy disasters, including many of the same faces. Isn't it great in life when we get the opportunity to repeat our mistakes yet another time?"

Even al-Qaida Knows that Fox News Isn’t News

"In general, and no matter what material we send, I suggest that we should distribute it to more than one channel, so that there will be healthy competition between the channels in broadcasting the material, so that no other channel takes the lead. It should be sent for example to ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN and maybe PBS and VOA. As for Fox News, let her die in her anger."

Why Obama's bin Laden Ad Drives Republicans Crazy

"To anyone with a functioning memory, however, this whining is implausible. So are the dire predictions that the president will somehow offend voters by claiming credit for whacking bin Laden (or by smacking Romney). During the Bush presidency, Republicans used precisely the same approach and worse, over and over, without fretting whether their words and ads were 'divisive.'"
