It’s hard to take the idea of Mitt Romney as Commander In Chief seriously when he doesn’t even know that the United States is currently at war. On a related note; Mitt Romney was a draft dodger during the Vietnam War. I guess this means that the 1960s was also “peacetime” as far as he [...]

Anyone who continues to believe the birther conspiracy theory after watching this is an insane idiot who deserves no respect from informed intelligent people.

President Obama proposed a budget that protects Medicare (leaving the program intact for current seniors and future seniors alike) and allows taxes on the richest Americans to go back up to where they were under President Clinton. The Republican majority in the House passed a budget bill that destroys Medicare and cuts taxes on the [...]

How will seniors pay for health care without Medicare? 235 House Republicans voted for the elimination of Medicare. Only 4 Repubilcans voted against it.
