Doomed Romney Camp is Doomed.
Mitt Romney has selected Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his vice presidential running mate, introducing the seven-term congressman and architect of Republicans’ budget-cutting plans at a spirited rally on the deck of a battleship here Saturday morning. (ugh)
Okay! I am offended just because you are trying to loose, Mitt.

Mitt Romney Snubbed By UK Government As Cabinet... →
Mitt Romney fails to resonate with senior Conservative Party figures, most of whom have a much closer connection to Barack Obama, a Cabinet minister has disclosed to The Huffington Post on Friday. Their comments will add to the sense that the presidential hopeful’s trip to London on the eve of the Olympics has been something of a PR disaster for the Republican party.

TIM PAWLENTY: The former Minnesota governor signed a mandatory 24-hour delay for women seeking abortion care into law, and while serving in the state House, he wrote a bill to require women to be told medically inaccurate information about abortion services. But Pawlenty also approved a bill ensuring that women who have been sexually assaulted have access to emergency contraception — a measure...

Here's The Opening Ceremony Tribute To Terrorism... →
The major transitional element of today’s London Olympics opening ceremony was a downtempo performance of adoptive sporting anthem “Abide With Me” by Scottish singer Emeli Sandé. The song and accompanying dance were a tribute to the victims of the 7/7 terror attacks in London that claimed 52 victims days after the 2012 Summer Olympic hosts were named. (It’s also been...
What we have learned from Stand Your Ground
White people with guns really want to kill people and when they finally find someone to kill they will then claim they “feared for their lives” and “self defense”.

A man in Cape Coral, Florida on Wednesday was arrested for shooting and killing an unarmed door-to-door salesman on his property.
Kenneth Bailey Roop, 52, has been charged with second-degree murder for killing 30-year-old Nicholas Rainey.
A co-worker who witnessed the shooting said Rainey had knocked on Roop’s door, but received no answer. While Rainey was walking down the drive-way, Roop...
Anyone else really tired of birthers?
And am I the only one who imagines that these are people who read Prison Planet and Infowars and spend all night in their basements with canned food, bottled (fluoride free) water and laptops looking for proof that Obama is a conspiracy?
Obama's Eligibility For Alaska Ballot Challenged →
A Juneau man has filed a lawsuit trying to compel the state of Alaska to prove that President Obama is qualified to be on the ballot.
He also claims that Obama, by taking office, has committed a crime of trying to overthrow the U.S. government. Epperly is acting as his own attorney.
The lawsuit is seeking the state Division of Elections to obtain a physical, “verified” copy of...

Ten Republican-controlled state legislatures have voted to defund Planned Parenthood since the 2010 midterm elections, but the clinics affected by the cuts will not have to shut their doors any time soon. The Obama administration so far has awarded hefty new federal family planning grants to Planned Parenthood clinics in three states that have cut the providers’ funding:...

What’s wrong with Mitt Romney? - Salon.com →
Why Mitt’s idiotic behavior in the UK is important:
1.) The UK is our #1 ally.
2.) London should have been easy street on the diplomacy front and he failed miserably.
3.) He looks like a clown in front of the entire world. They are watching.
4.) This is how Mitt behaves without handlers.
Okay, republicans, do you really want this man who just made a complete fool out of him self and the...

1. What, Me Rich?
“We can be poor in spirit, and I don’t even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing,” said Ann Romney to Fox News. “It can be here today and gone tomorrow.”
Hmm. Interesting indeed, considering that her husband is worth about $200 million. If elected, he would be among the richest presidents ever to occupy the White House, topping both the Roosevelts...

Expressed doubt on London’s ability to run the Olympics successfully: “There are a few things that were disconcerting, the stories about the private security firm not having enough people – the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging.”

Here’s a quick case study on how bullshit is born into the world. First, remember that when we’re browsing the news each morning to make sure our favorite athlete hasn’t gone to jail yet, most of us only read the headlines, or maybe give the actual story a quick skim. You didn’t need a study to tell you that, you do it yourself. So if somebody’s goal is to push a...
Study: Medicaid may lower death rates →
If there’s one common gripe about Medicaid – aside from its growing price tag – it tends to be about the program’s quality. “Medicaid coverage is worse than no coverage at all,” one Wall Street Journal op-ed declared last year. Sen. Robert Corker (R-Tenn.) dubbed the entitlement program the “worst health care system in America.” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) did him one better, describing Medicaid...

Mitt Romney’s speech at the NAACP was defined in the media by the resounding chorus of boos he elicited from the crowd. Campaign staffers had a different interpretation, insisting that he received “thunderous applause over and over again.”
