The rightwing pundits want you to believe that liberals are using 'skewed polls' as a means of voter suppression. Liberals aren’t idiots. If they wanted voter suppression, they’d do it the effective way—the way conservatives are doing it.
The latest news is that President Obama is still leading in all of the new swing state polls—or for the rightwing pundits, reality still isn’t right. Obama is narrowly leading in Nevada and North Carolina. If this game was fixed, wouldn’t he be leading by a more comfortable margin? Or don’t the rightwingers think that the left wing could lie as effectively as they do?
Another new poll shows that Jewish voters support Obama by better than two-to-one over Romney. There is no way a self-respecting Jew is going to support Mitt Romney. They deal with enough guilt trips from their mothers. They don’t need to live with the fact that they voted for Romney.
Arch-conservative Charles Krauthammer seems to think that Mitt Romney would win if he was talking about “the big stuff: Medicare, entitlements, tax reform...” Charles, Mitt did discuss the big stuff in exactly the kind of conservative terms that you want. The problem is that someone recorded what he said and Mother Jones magazine released the tape.
Mitt Romney is trying to lower expectations for his performance in the debate. Don’t worry, Mitt—if there is one problem you are not going to face from here on out, it’s that expectations for you are going to be too high.

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...
