Obama Hurts GOP’s Feelings Most When At His Most Republican

I find it amusing that Republicans by and large are most un-nerved by the president for the most Republican things he’s done.

A Republican was the first presidential candidate to forgo [...]

Osama Bin Laden Is Dead, And So Is The Dogma GOP Has Cherished For A Decade

He’d climbed back from the brink of oblivion after revelations of marital misconduct and declared himself that night, “The Comeback Kid.” Last night former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney came back from behind to [...]
