Mary Landrieu says America's future would be damaged it doesn't re-elect Mary Landrieu

"I think we need Senators that will find a common ground and compromise. I’m one of the few that’s left. So getting rid of me and a few other people would not be good for the country and its future."

Poll: ACA more despised than ever, while Nevada faces 90,000 cancellations and price hikes

Democrats have long been promising that, once people get signed up, they're going to love ObamaCare. Candidates are going to run on its merits, and the law is going to be a big positive for Dems during the 2014 midterms. Those who were still against it were a small, dwindling minority. As soon as the signup date passed, and the target numbers were (allegedly) reached, negative perception was supposed to fade away.

The racists at MSNBC celebrate Cinco de Mayo by showing us what they think of Mexicans

Obviously, I'm not one for screaming "racism" every time someone trots out a stereotype. If I was, I'd lose my mind every St. Patrick's Day when half the country dresses up as a leprechaun and drinks itself into a stupor.

WH advisor David Plouffe: '60% of voters' represents a 'loud delusional minority' driving Benghazi story

If you think people are interested in Benghazi, you're a complete blithering hayseed. No one cares. It's just you. Everyone else has moved on. The only people keep this story alive are a minute group of Tea Party crackpots.

Uh-oh. New poll suggests 'blame Bush' may not be working like it used to...

Terrorism? Bush's fault. The Ukraine? Bush's fault. Benghazi? Bush's fault. Smallest labor participation rate in 30 years? Bush's fault. Terrible GDP? Bush's fault. Soaring gas prices? Bush's fault. Stagnant 'recovery?' Bush's fault. Mid-East collapse? Bush's fault. ObamaCare's many failings? Somehow, mysteriously, also Bush's fault.

Former NSC spokesman on Benghazi talking points: 'Dude. This was, like, two years ago'

Yesterday, Former National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor was interviewed on Fox News by Bret Baier. Baier pressed Vietor for details about his role in altering the Benghazi talking points used by Susan Rice on the Sunday morning news shows. Vietor, whose memory is apparently a Swiss cheese-like labyrinth of empty spaces initially claimed he didn't remember, because "Dude. This was like two years ago."

Even CNN is openly mocking White House claims that the emails 'were not about Benghazi'

D.C. Dem Eleanor Holmes Norton: Iraq was 'the most catastrophic war of the 20th century'

Eleanor Holmes Norton is the Democrats' non-voting congressional observer from the District of Columbia. You may remember her as the genius who claimed that people didn't know they had to sign up for ObamaCare because evil Republicans had convinced everyone it had been repealed.

New emails prove the White House pushed the 'internet video' lie to protect the administration

On September 16th 2012, then UN ambassador Susan Rice appeared on the Sunday morning news shows. There, she dutifully spread the Obama administration's lie that an anti-Islamic YouTube video sparked a "spontaneous protest" which resulted in the Benghazi debacle. We would later learn that there was no spontaneous protest, that the administration knew the incident was a terrorist attack while it was still ongoing, and that the video in question was a "non-issue in regards to Benghazi." Still the State Department spent (at least) two weeks trying to pimp the YouTube angle.

Despite subpoenas, Congress only received new Benghazi emails two weeks ago

Despite promising to implement across-the-board transparency and pledging to limit the power of the Executive branch, President Obama has done neither. He pretty much just does as he pleases and tells you about it only if he's forced to. As a result, one of the big left-wing narratives is that Obama is trying - desperately - to cooperate, but he has to do whatever he wants because evil Congressional Republicans won't "cooperate" with him.

Without the forced spending of ObamaCare, GDP would have been in negative territory

Dan already did a nice job of breaking down this morning's terrible GDP report, so I'll only add this quote from Business Insider:

Boehner: I wasn't 'mocking' Republicans over immigration. I was 'teasing the ones I love.'

Hey, remember last week when John Boehner mocked his fellow Republicans because they weren't doing enough to pass amnesty comprehensive immigration reform? Well, he wasn't mocking anyone. If you thought he was, you were wrong. According to the Speaker, he was simply "teasing" his fellow Congressmen ....because that's the kind of wacky hijinks you enjoy with "the ones you love."

Democrats desperate to denounce John Kerry's 'Israel apartheid' comments as 'nonsensical and ridiculous'

On Friday, John Kerry was busy moaning about his deeply-held concerns that Israel could become an "apartheid state" if the current peace talks fail. Reports of his comments surfaced Sunday, and by Monday, the Secretary of State was in crisis mode.

For some reason, the 'racist woman-hating party' eagerly nominates Mia Love in Utah

According to Democrats, the GOP is the party of racism. Despite embracing (among many others) the likes of Tim Scott, Walter Williams, Condi Rice, Thomas Sowell, Allen West, Ben Carson, and a certain former presidential candidate whose name appears at the top of this page, if you're a conservative, the left says you're a monster who hates minorities.

Watch HBO host John Oliver and singer Lisa Loeb DESTROY Oregon over its ACA exchange woes

You probably know John Oliver from his occasional stints as the guest host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show. He also appears regularly on NBC's vastly underrated (and perpetually almost-cancelled) sitcom, Community. Now, you'll likely be seeing more of him, as he begins hosting his own show each week on HBO.

John Boehner mocks fellow Republicans because they're unwilling to embrace 'immigration reform'

In the modern political world "doing something" is important above all. If you're going to pander, you'd better have "done something" you can point to. It doesn't really matter if your achievement had a positive or negative effect. As long as you've got something - anything - that you can sell to the suckers, you'll be blessed with the appearance of having "done something."

MSNBC's Chuck Todd thinks *GASP* the Keystone delay is just Obama playing politics

Brace yourself folks, because according to MSNBC's Chuck Todd, Obama is playing politics with the Keystone pipeline. I know, I know. You're stunned. But apparently it's true.

Dem Gov. of IL seems to think black Republicans are a lot like Jews who collaborated with the Nazis

Democrats are nothing if not tolerant. The left is always eager to remind us that dissent is the foundation of the great "American experiment" and our disagreements only make us stronger. They love the free exchange of ideas, embrace diversity, and understand that it's our differences that make out nation great.

CNN panel erupts in laughter about Hillary's 'achievement gap'

Hillary has a problem. As a would-be President, you would think she'd have no trouble rattling off her achievements.

MSNBC campaign advice to Dems: Embrace ObamaCare & tell people who lose their plans to 'deal with that!'

MSNBC is great.  In fact, it may be the greatest left-wing media outlet in history. No, it's not because they air quality programming - which they most certainly do not - and it's not because they make coherent, cogent, arguments -which, again, they do not. It's because, for whatever reason, they've taken the governors off their left-wing engines. The network's tolerance for nuttery is near limitless and it's very tough to get fired.  As a result, their hosts feel free to voice all of the beliefs that every liberal politician secretly holds dear, but can't say for fear of losing their jobs.
