If it weren't for John Huntsman's father , he wouldn't have been in the race for as long as he was.

Sigh .

This guy has the nerve to say that Obama " g ot everything he wanted from a compliant for two of those three years " he was president. That is bullshit . In fact, one commenter points out that McConnell & Co. sent Harry Reid a "fuck you" letter pretty much saying the exact opposite. The man has threatened to block nominees . He said that having a debt deal would require Obama to get out of office . He was happy to see the American Auto Industry sink . He was (and still is) against health care reform . Mitch McConnell does not care about legislation or governing; he wants Obama out of the White House. And he's spent his entire time in the Senate working to achieve that goal.

...is that there is a slight chance that because she gets Google Alerts about herself she might think this post is some lengthy, upbeat endorsement of her as a person and a celebrity. On the off chance she is reading this: Kim, I think you should consider taking up art collecting, if you're not already. Good luck!

Newt Gingrich is a politician who chooses his words very carefully . That "populist" in "Reagan populist conservative" is meant to attract independents. The "Reagan" is for old-school Republicans. And we all know what the "conservative" stands for (especially after his romp in South Carolina). We should also know to be very cautious when a Republican labels themselves a "[fill in the blank] conservative" like George W. Bush (" compassionate conservative ") did.

While some haven't picked a side yet , other more prominent figures in the GOP are telling the GOP base and the upstart Tea Party that Mitt Romney and his Bain experiences are off-limits. And may God help you if you are Newt Gingrich or Rick Perry , who see themselves as advocates for those two groups. As Rachel states, this re-enactment of the 2008 GOP primary is also questioning the power of the Tea Party. They seemed to be formidable back in 2009, and according to the political pundits they were the force behind the GOP re-taking the House in 2010. But so far, they have had little-to-no influence on the GOP candidate, and some want it to stay that way . And if we learned anything about GOP politics since 2000, it's that when Rush and Fox News has spoken, the dissenters eventually fall in line. As the months slog on, watch for talk that Romney is the most conservative

Seriously ? Anyone who has listened to any of their albums could have discovered that.
