Posted by Bryan Jacoutot on October 05, 2012 26 Comments

First, there was the CBS instant poll taken immediately following Wednesday night's Presidential debate.

More evidence debunking Elizabeth Warren’s “elopement” story

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 05, 2012 40 Comments

I wrote off Politico a long time ago. Remind me not to look at the Politico links you send. Sure, just like NYT and WaPo it's hard not to look and link, because it covers so much ground. But really, nonsense like this article written from three...

Roundup of the liberal meltdowns after debate

Posted by Anne Segal on October 05, 2012 18 Comments

The left must not have been mentally prepared for Obama's stuttering, stammering, deer-in-the-headlights, dismal debate performance Wednesday night.

Sorry AARP, you own Obamacare

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 04, 2012 49 Comments

I have written numerous times about AARP's love affair with Obamacare, including recently disclosed documents showing coordination of strategy. Proponents of Obamacare often cited AARP's support as the equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Few AARP members probably realize how big a role AARP...
