Breaking News from Mark Halperin and The Page. Governor Ed Rendell tells the PolitikerPA:

He said this in his interview with […]

Dean had this to […]

Senator Hillary Clinton recently ripped into George Bush’s Plan to change hospital regulations to define certain types of contraception as “abortion”.
The draft proposal written by the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), which began circulating around Capitol Hill this week, would require hospitals receiving federal funds to hire medical personnel who oppose forms of […]

Throughout the primary, Obama’s campaign engaged in a ruthless pursuit of dominance dependent upon relentless and brutal attacks on Hillary Clinton. The destruction of the progressive coalition that we’re now experiencing has much more to do with Obama campaign’s vicious primary tactics than in any differences in policy between the two Democrats.
Not only did Obama […]

No, they are not related, though Hillary IS related to Angelina Jolie and Madonna. But that’s not the point here. While Obama continues his daily (it seems) flip flopping (”I’ll take money from NASA!” “I’m NOT Taking Money From NASA!” “I’ll Meet John McCain for Town Hall Forums!” “I WON’T Meet John McCain for Town […]

The AFL-CIO endorsed Obama. They have released two mailers. The first mailer is here:
• “Does he wear a flag pin on his lapel? Yes, but not always. Like many presidential candidates, sometimes he wears a flag pin, sometimes he wears a breast cancer awareness pin, sometimes he wears his U.S. Senate […]

Barack Obama believes his wife, Michelle Obama, will convince women to vote for her sexist husband. I quote CBS2 News Chicago:
CBS 2’s Dorothy Tucker reports Michelle Obama gave a speech Monday at the Palmer House Hilton, at an event called “Women for Obama.” But the message was clearly aimed at women for Hillary Clinton.
Michelle Obama walked […]

I will make this short - WTH?!?! Someone clearly put the screws to Planned Parenthood, especially given the number of assholic comments Obama has made recently. You know the ones: “women being blue,” and “Mental distress” don’t qualify as health of the mother, all of those incredibly offensive comments he has made recently. […]
