Spitzer Sums Up Romney Campaign Strategy: Lie About Obama

Mitt Romney was speaking at the NRA today and said, “This administration’s attack on freedom extends even to rights explicitly guaranteed by the constitution: the right to bear arms is so plainly stated, so unambiguous, that liberals have a hard time challenging it directly. Instead they have been employing every imaginable rouse and ploy to restrict it, and to defeat it.” Funny, last time I checked the Obama administration has done nothing when it comes to stricter gun laws. Nothing.

No, Seriously, For Sure This Time: Mitt Romney Is The Republican Nominee

It’s been said before but this time it’s for real (no, seriously), Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee for president. With 652 delegates, the math reveals what’s inevitable even if many Republicans find it hard to come to terms with reality. Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul can spin it any way they want but they all have one thing in common, they will not win the nomination.

Romney: Obama To ‘Establish A Religion Known As Secularism’

At a campaign event in Wisconsin on Monday, Mitt Romney said of the Obama administration, “I think there is a desire to establish a religion in America known as secularism.” Romney was replying to a question by a supporter asking why the administration was mandating contraceptive coverage for women employed by religious organizations. Romney also said there is a “war on religion” in this country. To that I say bullshit. When religious figures and organizations don’t get their way on public policy they believe they are being persecuted for their religious beliefs and so they conclude there must be a war on religion. I hate to break it to you, but your religion isn’t the only religion and it’s definitely not the law.

The Republican Endgame: An America Where Big Ideas Are Dead

Republicans have become the party of “No we can’t” and Democrats have become the party of “Yes we can, but…”. Gone are the days of big ideas and big plans for the future. We no longer live in a country that is capable of shooting for the stars and solving big problems. Instead we are in a race to the bottom that has coincided with a political shift to the right that caters to rich and powerful interests.

Video: Obama Defends Women’s Health And Planned Parenthood

This past week President Obama showed his support for women’s health in a message delivered to Planned Parenthood supporters. The President draws a clear distinction between where he stands and where some on the Right stand, including “professional politicians” who want to “get rid of” Planned Parenthood. Of course this “professional politician” is Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. It’s been a common refrain to say Republicans are waging a war on women’s rights, but I don’t think it’s limited to just women. These Republicans, particularly social conservatives, are against anything they see as threatening the historical order (i.e. old white men making the decisions for everyone else).

Romney Fails On Pre-Existing Condition Question From Leno

Mitt Romney has no good answers for how to deal with pre-existing conditions in an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Tuesday night. If Romney becomes president and is successful (along with congress) in repealing the Affordable Care Act, he is apparently fine with people being denied insurance coverage due to a pre-existing condition.
