The Etch-a-Sketch Campaign Begins

Pandora commented in a thread with the following smart thought:

One of the biggest things the average voter will take away from these conventions is the chatter surrounding them – and the positive chatter surrounding the DNC will influence people. Of course, this feeling can be lost at any time before the election, but as it stands now the DNC won the battle of conventions.

Mitt “Because I said so” Romney: The fascination with taxes I’ve paid I find to be very small-minded compared to the broad issues we face. But I did go back and look at my taxes and over the past ten years, I never paid less than 13 percent. I think the most recent year is […]

Paul Ryan Won’t Help Romney With Women

Filed in National by on August 14, 2012 73 Comments

The narrative forming around Paul “Ayn Rand” Ryan, so far, has centered on his wonkiness, his “intellectualism” and his fiscal “swoon inducing” prowess.  (Can’t wait until Republicans start gushing over his government experience – which will be good for Ryan since working for the government is 99% of his resume).  But there’s more to Ryan […]

Filed in International, National by on July 29, 2012 14 Comments
