The Koch Brothers political network has announced it will not support the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Virginia, in another indication of the group’s growing independence from the GOP. Americans for Prosperity (AFP), the political arm of the Koch network, will not endorse either party’s candidate or contribute money to either side in the…
“There is no excuse for bypassing Congress. Because the Constitution we all pledge an oath to is very plain…you can’t start a war without an act of Congress.â€
Fox News took their pretending that the sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump don’t exist to a new level by interviewing Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine on Fox News Sunday and not mentioning the allegations against Trump.
“I got dinged a little bit, even by my wife, for interrupting too much,” he said.
Trump, who interrupted Clinton 51 times, complains “The constant interruptions last night by Tim Kaine should not have been allowed”
“‘Can you stop whipping out that Mexican thing?’ – VP pick from a party who can’t understand why they don’t get the hispanic vote”
Trump says Mike Pence won, but last night was not a win for Trump, unless his plan all along was to position Pence as the GOP’s 2020 nominee
There was a clear victor in the vice presidential debate between Tim Kaine and Mike Pence. Here are the winners and losers from the VP debate.
Though Pence denied the most inhumane parts of Trump’s immigration plan, Kaine slammed the door shut in seven words: “You can just go to the tape.”
If Republicans were hoping that Mike Pence could save Donald Trump, they are certain to be disappointed as Pence is being steamrolled by the focused Sen. Tim Kaine and the clear message of the Clinton campaign.
Mike Pence tried to push the narrative that Clinton is to blame for all of the world’s ills, but Clinton’s running mate fact checked him on the spot.
Mike Pence had to be asked numerous times, and he could not come up with a defense for Trump not releasing his tax returns at the vice presidential debate.
Not only is the post a bit premature, but it’s full of wishful thinking.
Pence isn’t a sensible politician. He’s as extreme as they come.
Tim Kaine said, “Anybody who would question that leadership, to me is just an irrational hostility to President Obama that they are revealing that has been part of their thinking since the very first day of his office.â€
“This stuff about growing an economy that works for everybody, we haven’t been sitting in an ivory tower looking out at the world; we’ve not ever been sitting in penthouses looking out at the world.”
Hillary Clinton’s running mate Tim Kaine did his part to help the ticket set a trap for Donald Trump by turning Clinton’s emails into a discussion of Trump’s tax returns.
Donald Trump is a danger to national security because he actually encouraged Russia to hack Clinton’s emails, Kaine explained patiently on ABC’s “This Week,” as the media focused on the FBI report “raising new questions” about Hillary Clinton’s emails.
As Mike Pence spends his days giggling and trying to defend Donald Trump’s predictions. Hillary Clinton’s running mate Sen. Tim Kaine is gutting the Republican presidential nominee.
“Trump has a passion, too,” Kaine said. “Himself.”
Sen. Tim Kaine uttered one sentence in his acceptance speech that was capable of triggering a landslide for Hillary Clinton.
While trying to attack Tim Kaine on TPP, Donald Trump accidentally leveled his own running mate Mike Pence.
Donald Trump went on another racist, ugly rant trying to stir up dissent among Democrats after Hillary Clinton kicked him in the you-know-whats by picking moderate Democrat Tim Kaine.
Hillary Clinton’s selection of Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate has already shifted the Electoral College map, as Kaine’s home state of Virginia has been moved from Leans Democratic to Likely Democratic.
Hillary Clinton had to weigh how her VP choice would impact the Democratic bid to retake the Senate. She also was likely thinking about some Trump insurance by picking the Senator from a swing state. Kaine is an ideal fit for the Clinton campaign, and he was the right choice to be her running mate.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Clinton is close to choosing the Spanish-speaking Virginia senator.
Clinton hopes to blunt any possible momentum that Donald Trump may get out of the Republican National Circus – er, Convention – in Cleveland.
As Jeb has reminded us, Dubya is our problem, not his. Or Gohmert’s. Or the Republican Party’s, it seems
The surfeit of Republican hand-wringing has begun. Hillary is officially running for president with her online announcement. Yes, THAT Hillary. You know, the Hillary Clinton who has more qualifications for the office than just about all of the modestly accomplished opposition candidates put together.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech to Congress continues to backfire, as key Democratic senators have withdrawn their support for a Senate bill that would have reviewed any nuclear agreement with Iran.
The official Facebook page of a Virginia County Republican Party got busted yesterday for having super offensive (read straight up racist birtherism) images on their Facebook page.
In one the dumbest political moves of 2012, Tim Kaine was asked about the 47% and said he would be open to a minimum tax. Tim Kaine could use a little education, so here’s a lesson on the 47%.
The effort of newly created Clinton Bush Haiti Fund will kick into high gear on Sunday as both Clinton and Bush will appear on all of the morning talk shows. The appearances will be George W. Bush’s first since leaving office. In contrast to his former vice president, Bush is showing Cheney how he is supposed to act.
This week The New York Times ran a draft of the soon to be published official Army history of the war in Afghanistan. The report complete contradicts the claims of neo-cons that they did not ignore Afghanistan while focusing on Iraq. The history details how the Bush administration ignored Afghanistan for Iraq.
The failed attempt at a terrorist attack in Detroit over the weekend has caused Republicans to revive their claims that Democrats are weak on national security. On CNN’s State of the Union today Mary Matalin claimed that George W. Bush inherited 9/11 from Bill Clinton, even though 9/11 happened 8 months after Bush took office.
On his radio show today, Glenn Beck claimed that George W. Bush and John McCain were progressives, and this is exactly what hurt the Republican Party. Beck said, “George W. Bush was a progressive. He was a Republican. John McCain is a bigger progressive. He was a Republican.” In the new GOP, according to Glenn Beck, Bush and McCain are liberals. Wow.
Some 88 professors at Texas Tech University have signed a petition protesting the hiring of former U. S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Perhaps it is just me, but to have that many potential colleagues protest in writing seems a pretty strong statement about how Gonzales is accepted, or more precisely rejected by his would be peers.
On Friday a significant decision was handed down regarding the personal accountability of a member of the Bush administration for torture. A U.S. District Court judge ruled that John Yoo could be held accountable in a civil law suit for his role in drafting the Bush era policy on torture.
Last night Karl Rove was on FNC’s The O’Reilly Factor where he appears to have confirmed that the Bush administration routinely hid information from Congress, because they believed that the legislative branch could not be trusted. Rove stated that it is dangerous to give Congress any information. This attitude sums up the secrecy of the Bush White House.
On his Fox News show Glenn Beck claimed that the bailouts are nothing more than ACORN on a governmental scale. What this means, only Beck knows for sure, but he thinks that we should have known better because Obama was a community organizer. In essence, Beck tried to connect Obama, ACORN, and GM.
Former FBI interrogator Ali Soufan, the man who led the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, testified before Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, and revealed that President Bush told half truths about the interrogation. Soufan revealed that most of the information they received did not come from torture.
NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell mentioned on The Chris Matthews Show that Democrats may look to go a different route on the torture investigation issue. Some Congressional Democrats are considering the possibility of charging Bush administration officials who lied to Congress with perjury.
President Barack Obama will mark his first 100 days in office this week. To mark the anniversary, here is a comparison of how Barack Obama and George W. Bush spent their first 100 days in office. You may be surprised to learn that both presidents were/are still popular after their first 100 days.
Former Bush press secretary Dana Perino was in full spin mode yesterday in an interview with CBS’s Chip Reid. Perino accused President Obama of editing the statements of the Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, while ignoring the fact that the Bush administration constantly edited statements and reports from scientists on the issue of climate change.
The New York Times is reporting that the ol’ gang from the Bush administration is getting together for a reunion and a brainstorming session for the George W. Bush Policy Institute, but the one person who won’t be there is former VP Dick Cheney who is still upset that W. wouldn’t pardon his best boy, Scooter Libby.
During his second press conference, President Barack Obama was asked why it took him so long to respond to the AIG bonuses.
As crazy as it sounds today, Deputy Asst.
According to a C-SPAN survey of 65 presidential historians, George W.

Will Ferrell is going to be taking his George W. Bush impression to Broadway with his show, “You’re Welcome America: A Final Night with George W. Bush.” I think we all can agree that Ferrell does the best Bush impression. Check out the video of “W.” promoting his show.
I’ll give Dubya this much, he’s pretty nimble for a man in his sixties.
Perhaps if only Ed O’Neill ran for office would a political story dealing with shoes make so many headlines across the globe.
George W. Bush’s resume padding reached new heights when during an interview with The Washington Times he referred to No Child Left Behind as civil rights legislation. Isn’t civil rights legislation supposed to promote equality instead of penalizing those who need help the most?
While President Bush is frantically making the media rounds trying to spin a positive legacy out of whole cloth, he and his administration are continuing their war with the New York Times. This time the administration is accusing the newspaper of liberal bias because of a front page story about the causes of the mortgage crisis.
At a rally today in Charleston, WV, Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden took aim at John McCain’s recent criticism of the Bush administration, “John McCain is now attacking the Bush budget and fiscal policies. Folks, this is as crazy as the Sundance Kid attacking Butch Cassidy! They were in this together.”
In response to being invited to the White House for a bipartisan meeting on Thursday with President Bush, the presidential campaign of Barack Obama put out a statement promising to do whatever is necessary in order to come up with a final solution to the crisis.
In a deeply misguided attempt to reassure people about the economy, President Bush showed his concern over the economy by delivering a 3 minute statement that was focused on the financial markets, and not the economic pains of ordinary people. As usual, Bush took no questions from the press, while the McCain campaign has said nothing about the economy this morning.
Today Barack Obama, John McCain, and George W. Bush all spoke on the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and none of them mentioned Osama Bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader who is still at large. Why have our political leaders forgotten Bin Laden?
Today Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama spoke to reporters after President Bush announced that troop levels in Iraq would remain mostly unchanged. He used his remarks to connect George W. Bush and John McCain, but my question is, if we really are winning in Iraq why do we need 140,000 troops there?
President George W. Bush told America tonight that the nation needs John McCain. Considering that Bush has exhibited terrible judgment all through his presidency, this should be reason enough for America to collectively run screaming away from McCain.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama put out a statement condemning Russia for their escalation of the conflict with Georgia. “No matter how this conflict started, Russia has escalated it well beyond the dispute over South Ossetia and invaded another country.
President Bush ignored all other forms of alternative energy in his radio address today, and instead chose to give the false impression that we can lower gas prices by producing more domestic oil.
