Republican Leader Finally Admits That Federal Spending Cuts Kill Jobs

"Earlier this week, Cantor was unable to name a single deal Republicans would be willing to make to prevent the slew of cuts — cuts that Cantor himself voted for. Plus, as the Bipartisan Policy Center reports, the House Republican budget that Cantor supported cuts 'more than double the amount' of the sequester. This budget would sink domestic spending to its lowest level in 50 years. Meanwhile it prevents cuts to military spending already endorsed by military leaders."

Pat Robertson to humiliated hubby: ‘Well, you could become a Muslim and you could beat her’

"Reacting to a letter from a viewer who said he’s lost his self confidence due to his wife insulting him, Robertson said Monday: 'Well, you could become a Muslim and you could beat her.' He then turned to his female co-host, who seemed to balk at the offhanded remark, and asked: 'You don’t want to go to Saudi Arabia?'”

Sen. Rand Paul embarrasses himself on TV, then makes it worse

"...the 143,000 number Paul quoted excludes federal postal workers. ThinkProgress reports that if you include federal postal workers, federal employment only went up by only 27,000 since December of 2008.
And, state and local budgets are deeply intertwined with federal spending.  To exclude those numbers from the discussion is, well, disingenuous!"

On Solemn Anniversary, Dick Cheney Attacks Obama Over Bin Laden

"That Cheney would attempt to use intelligence briefings as a weapon to attack President Obama — on September 11th, of all days — is especially outrageous. As Kurt Eichenwald revealed in a New York Times op-ed, the Bush White House received repeated briefings about an imminent al Qaeda attack in the months leading up to September 11th, culminating with the infamous memo titled 'Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.' Despite these increasingly alarmed warnings, Cheney and his cohorts did nothing."

Poll: Bachmann in danger

"There’s been no other public polling of the district, though it’s reasonable to assume that the Bachmann campaign has commissioned its own surveys. The fact that none have been released suggests that Bachmann’s numbers also do not bode well for her."

Why Romney Should and Will Lose

"Mitt Romney is unusually protective of the super-rich upper 1 percent of Americans. He is the first presidential candidate to withhold the names of his bundlers who help to fund his campaign. And if he succeeds in enacting the Paul Ryan budget plan he has endorsed, including converting Medicare to vouchers, and eliminating taxes on income from capital, the tax rate for Mitt Romney and his top 1 percent will drop to around 1 percent."
