Calling Them Frauds Is Accurate
Andrew Sullivan nails it.
First, let’s read Paul Ryan’s quote:
“We’re gonna be reducing all domestic discretionary spending. I can’t tell you by what amount and which program, but all of it is going to be going down, and the aggregate amount will be back to 2008 levels before the spending binge occurred.”

New GOP House Leaders Dipping the Constitution in Tea
It appears that the new GOP House majority is taking the Constitution “seriously.” I think we can now officially call the GOP the Teapublican Party.
At the start of every Congress, each House must adopt rules which will govern how it will operate for the next two years. We’ve already heard that the Democrats in [...]

The Bedwetters Party
Those darn Constitution huggers have done it again! They haven’t been listening to Republicans, who believe that a terrorist attack means we should throw out the Constitution. What those Constitution-hugging liberals want to do is try terrorism suspects in federal courts:
