Mitt Romney is trying to dance around the immigration issue. And Mitt’s dancing is even worse than his singing. While Mitt continues to dodge questions about immigration, other Republicans are giving answers that show you exactly why he’s keeping his mouth shut.
Obama’s new immigration rules halt deportations of those who were brought here as children under the age of 16. It was a shrewd political move—Republicans can’t attack children. If you think that, you don’t know Republicans. GOP Representative Blake Farenthold actually said “you are also talking about people that came over at 16 years of age. At that point, you had a say in it, and that looks kind of more like amnesty.” “You had a say in it”? How many families hold a vote with their children on decisions like where they are going to live? I just know that if families operated like the Republican Congress, a few obstructionist children could grind everything to a halt.
A GOP Senate candidate in Wisconsin says that the press should stop writing “sob stories” about people who are struggling financially. For Republicans, the problem isn’t that some people are struggling—the problem is that other people have to hear about it.
The Obama campaign has chosen John Kerry to play Mitt Romney in practice sessions for the debates. That’s a little bit of a slap in the face, isn’t it? Being picked to be the stand-in for Mitt Romney is like being picked to be the body double for Rush Limbaugh. Of course, Kerry was the Democratic candidate in 2004, so he knows how to debate. But if he’s going to be Mitt Romney, he’s going to have to forget how to actually say anything when he’s talking.
Chris Matthews points out that Mitt Romney doesn’t really care about most policy issues. He just wants to be president. Chris said that Mitt isn’t a candidate, “he’s a speaker system.” And he’s not a very high-fidelity speaker system at that. There are certain notes that your Mitt Romney surround-sound system just won’t play... like what his immigration policy is.

It seems that everybody wants to know what's been going on at the NSA. Everybody, that is, except for 53 US Senators. Last week Senators were given a briefing by high-ranking intelligence officials about the surveillance programs. Only 47...

Before last week, very few people knew the name Edward Snowden. Not the case now. It seems he's either a hero or traitor, depending on who you talk to and their political ideology. No matter what you think of him, however, we owe him a...
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will do anything to avoid getting any actual work done. As if 37 votes to repeal Obamacare didn't waste enough taxpayer time and money, the House GOP has decided to vote on a...
We need to have a debate over surveillance. Even more, we need to have a debate over exactly who is doing the surveilling. Government surveillance can be worrisome, but it's much more worrisome when the surveillance is being done by private...
Today, the United States Senate will begin debate on the so-called comprehensive immigration plan. Senators will consider the overall legislation, and dozens of amendments, before a final vote can be reached. The debate is likely to last...
Is Edward Snowden a whistleblower or a leaker? This story still has a lot of gray areas. For now, he's something like a whistle-leaker. To some people, Snowden is a hero, to others he is a traitor. To most Americans, he's the guy whose face in...
