Apparently Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas really really wants to be this generation’s Joe McCarthy.

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert doubled down on warnings of Muslim Brotherhood influence in America Thursday while taking a shot at the media for not investigating his claims further.

Michele Bachmann is an ignorant, bigoted, soulless human being

Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, a member of the most extreme elements of the conservative movement (and a Grade-A bigot to boot) has taken to smearing the reputation of Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. In a manner reminiscent of the anti-communist witch hunts of former Republican U.S. Senator Joe [...]

State of the GOP: Santorum is the Voice of Reason

Santorum is the man who urged Congress to do all in its power to revive a braindead Terry Schiavo in 2005. He was a whackjob trampling on individual rights. He promptly lost his Senate seat by record margins, in a fetid cloud of Santorum. But this is where the GOP Presidential race is today. Yes, [...]

What Electoral Mixture Will Iowa Surge by Santorum Lead To?

By now everyone knows about the results in last night’s Iowa Caucuses. Mitt Romney, four years after scoring 25% of the Iowa vote in 2008, received 25% or the vote last night, and improvement of. . . nothing.

Santorum Goes to the Extreme for a Republican — Tells the Truth

OK, this is out of context, a little bit, but is as close to the truth I’ve seen come out of the mouth of any GOP candidate for the Presidential nomination this year. From Huffpo:

NEWT! Finally an Adult in the GOP Primary Race

OK, Newt’s an adulterer, and not that much of an adult, but the Republicans have got to take what they can get, I suppose. This week’s polling of the Republican Presidential primary field is about the most ludicrous yet. Sure, we all knew that serial sexual harrasser Herman Cain would go down eventually. But I [...]
