Even though guns and gun control had about as much to with the 2012 campaign as my Aunt Fannie’s fanny, here’s Politico pushing a meaningless poll: Voters in key three swing states preferred President Barack Obama to Mitt Romney on

Over at Hot Air, Allahpundit makes a superb point. On MSNBC, the insufferably smug Joe Scarborough has been blistering Republicans for days now, specifically John McCain and Lindsey Graham, for threatening to block Susan Rice’s nomination as Secretary of State.

For the record, I’m all in favor of going over the fiscal cliff. I’m willing to pay higher taxes for a few months in order to get a better deal on spending cuts and to save the soul of the

As she did with Fast and Furious, Sharyl Attkisson over at CBS News continues the unheralded work of digging into the Obama Administration’s scandals — this time being the non-stop flow of misinformation and double-talk surrounding Libya. Apparently, we’re now

This culture of death stuff that’s so ingrained in ObamaCare and the Left’s overall mindset is nothing short of terrifying. Here’s Time’s Joe Klein openly ruminating on where he would like to see Medicare/ObamaCare ultimately end up: The second caveat

The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin rounds up some media criticism Obama’s facing over the politics he’s so obviously playing in the face of the oncoming fiscal cliff. Rubin’s correct about this: Obama’s conduct so far bespeaks of a man still determined to

***UPDATE: Politico’s Dylan Byers remembered something I forgot — rumors that Lindsey Graham’s denied about his being gay. What we might have here, then, is an anti-gay joke told by Heilemann and laughed at hysterically by Joe Scarborough. They’ll get away with

With the Identity Politics’ Crusade in full-swing as a weapon against Republicans, the story that all House Committee Chairs are filled by men got plenty of media attention. Obama’s similar “man” problem, however, probably wasn’t even looked at by a

How is it that the GOP is so feckless and ineffective that it can’t even convince the 48% who voted for Romney that raising taxes on those making over $250,000 is both pointless and bad policy: Sixty percent of all

Only the Republican party could blow this one: [emphasis added] On Libya, 54% of the country is dissatisfied with the administration’s response to the Benghazi attack, with only four in ten saying they’re satisfied with the way the White House

When I first saw the headline, “The GOP’s bizarre attack on Susan Rice,” I assumed the link would take me to one of the many left-wing columnists employed by the Post. Nope. This is a full-blown Washington Post editorial (and

It now looks as though the White House’s excuse for the pre-election Libya cover-up is itself a cover up. Last week we were told by the Administration (and the compliant media) that during her now-infamous round robin of five Sunday

With the high-profile media endorsement of MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, the trap is now complete. The question is whether or not New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will fall into it. Of course the media’s happy with Christie. Just as it looked

For some reason, even after “binders,” “birth control,” and Big Bird actually did help Obama win a second term, the Republican Party is apparently still under the illusion that, just because the Left and the media launch a Narrative that’s

I must say, that of all the post-election criticism of conservative media (and not all of it undeserved), yesterday’s crowing from the BenSmithers over at BuzzFeed Politics was the most dopey. McKay Coppins and Ben Smith and the media in general

Online and on the cable nets, Marco Rubio is currently taking a hellacious beating for his answer to “GQ’s” question about the age of the Earth. And anyone who doesn’t think we’ll be revisiting Rubio’s “Earth” question in about 40

We can whine about the double standard all day long, but that’s not fighting — it’s whining. The double standard, obviously, is that conservatives are asked questions about their faith that are intentionally meant to paint us as wacko extremists —
