HillaryIs44 has a good post on the Obama-lovin' media and how it covers for Obama's campaign dirty tricks. The post is in response to this statement by Ben Smith at Politico: If the catchphrase weren’t already taken, you could call Barack Obama’s signature style of negative politics...
which prove that George W. Bush lied about his military service. History No. 1: Dan cannot let you see the documents which he obtained from an anonymous source he cannot reveal. But the documents, in Dan's estimation, reflect "inappropriate" conduct the exact nature of which cannot...
by the behavior of numerous "conservatives" and "libertarians" on Twitter dancing on Herman Cain's (presumed) political grave. Let's sum up the "facts" as they are known right now.

Walter Shapiro on the risk that the GOP Just Might Nominate [Herman Cain] a Candidate Patently Unqualified to Be President: This is how presidential vetting traditionally works. The press pack pounces on the logical fallacies in a candidate’s positions and the shakiness of his resume. Party...
Not long ago The Washington Post was digging up rocks from 30 years ago to find dirt about Rick Perry. Now WaPo is digging up immigration papers from 50 years ago about Marco Rubio's parents, Marco Rubio’s compelling family story embellishes facts, documents show. The gist of WaPo's dramatic...
