Tuesday primaries to answer key questions

Super Tuesday is here: Voters in six states head to the polls Tuesday. This primary day features a lot of the themes that could illuminate something about this fall’s general election — most importantly, who controls the Senate.



Big choice for GOP primary voters: Flawed "establishment" guy who hates taxing the rich or flawed "Tea Party" guy who hates taxing the rich.- LOLGOP

“We don’t even look at the amount we’re spending on Defense. It’s like when rich people get the check at dinner.” – Bill Maher



Jon Stewart Supports Our Troops

Daily Show host Jon Stewart did not hide his disgust toward Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and other political figures on Monday for years of professing their admiration for veterans in the face of more damaging revelations about the clinics designed to help them.








Rational arguments don’t matter, because this is today’s Republican Party we’re talking about, a group that I’m convinced caught syphilis in 1994–left it untreated, and is now in the drooling and frothing stage. - Bill Maher




Republican Shenanigans



Senator Lindsey Graham used a word I’ve never heard a politician resort to, when he said, “The scumbags are the people in the White House who lied about this!” Then he looked at McCain, grabbed his purse, and said, “John, get the car!” - Bill Maher







Conservative Blogger Versus Conservative Senator: What Could Possibly Go Wrong, Very Wrong?


A Mississippi political activist has been arrested for allegedly breaking into the nursing home of Sen. Thad Cochran’s wife and photographing Rose Cochran without her consent, the Clarion-Ledger newspaper reported Saturday.

Barack O. Benghazi

President Barack Obama chastised his Republican opponents on Monday for focusing criticism on the events surrounding the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, and on his signature healthcare law.

"The debate we're having now is about what, Benghazi? Obamacare? And it becomes this endless loop. It's not serious. It's not speaking to the real concerns that people have," Obama said.

Republican Wants Employees To Block The Tea Party

Ben Tarbutton has never worked so hard in a primary election to urge his company’s employees to vote early or educate them on a candidate’s record.

He’s doing both with gusto this year as part of a national effort by the business community to block the nominations of Tea Party-aligned contenders in Republican primaries.

What kind of plant is this? In Spanish it's called llareta, and it's a member of the Apiaceae family, which makes it a cousin to parsley, carrots and fennel. But being a desert plant, high up in Chile's extraordinarily dry Atacama, it grows very, very slowly — a little over a centimeter a year.

The White House Was Deaf To 9-11 Warnings









The White House Was Deaf To 9-11 Warnings

On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bush received a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That morning’s “presidential daily brief” — the top-secret document prepared by America’s intelligence agencies — featured the now-infamous heading: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.

On April 10, 2004, the Bush White House declassified that daily brief — and only that daily brief — in response to pressure from the 9/11 Commission...


Yeah, sure, let's investigate Benghazi, right after we finish investigating 9-11, the invasion of Iraq, etc...

A personal letter written by Tony Blair to George Bush backing his plan to wage war on Iraq has reportedly ‘gone missing’ from the official Presidential library – as pressure grows on the former Prime Minister to sanction the release of the private notes he wrote to Mr Bush.

Ted Cruz's Father Outcrazies Him!

The father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told a crowd in Massachusetts last Friday that the Bible outlined which candidates they should vote for.

“And let me tell you, the Bible talks a lot about politics,” Rafael Cruz said at an event in Foxborough. “As a matter of fact, did you know that the Bible tells you exactly who to vote for? Very, very clearly the Bible tells you who to vote for. Let me prove it to you.”

Sanctions On Russia Hurting US Companies

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday the U.S. and Europe will move to impose heavier economic sanctions against Russia if the country disrupts Ukraine’s May 25 presidential elections.

But two rounds of economic sanctions against Russia (which target individuals, companies and banks) could be backfiring in one sense: U.S. companies such as Deere (DE) and Visa (V) are warning that their profits are suffering because of Western efforts to contain Russia's involvement in Ukraine.
