“When this country belatedly recognized [...]
You can't get more insane than this:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took his GOP-blasting rhetoric to a new level Monday, comparing Republicans who oppose health care reform to lawmakers who clung to the institution of slavery more than a century ago.
The Nevada Democrat, in a sweeping set of accusations' [...]

I’ve been spending a lot of time in my hometown of Philadelphia this year. The city has long since been lost to Democrats, and most of the elected Republicans there have been in office so long, it’s name and not philosophy that keep them there.
But it [...]

The Virginia election results were certified tonight by the State Board of Elections and there were no particular surprises.
Bob McDonnell still won in a landslide. House Republicans still picked up six seats.

Try as they might, liberal pundits cannot explain away Bob McDonnell’s 18-point election victory over Creigh Deeds by saying that Virginia always elects governors who are not of the president’s party. That’s like saying Republicans [...]
View larger. View larder. View Lardner. View lager.

[...]Jeff McWaters has received the endorsement of Virginia Beach Sheriff-elect and soon-to-be former State Sen. Ken Stolle, who is vacating the seat. In an email today to supporters, Stolle writes:

Freshmen congressmen Glenn Nye (D-2) and Tom Perriello (D-5) both defeated incumbent Republicans in 2008, but are high on the national target list by the GOP in 2010.

In a nutshell, Nye has nearly cast [...]
By way of Don Surber:
Politburo passes health plan, 220-215Without bothering to get any input from Republicans;
Too ashamed to read the bill out loud in public;
Breaking an oath to write the bill on C-Span;
Breaking a pledge to have bipartisan support;
Breaking a promise to post it online for 72 hours before [...]
Creigh Deeds liked the idea of opting out of Obama’s health care plan.
