Former Republican congressman Tom Tancredo asserted on MSNBC that all veterans are dissatisfied with Veterans Administration care and want a more privatized system: "Every veterans group I ever went and talked to complained about the Veterans Administration... They would much rather have vouchers that would allow them to go out and buy their insurance in a private marketplace." The problem...

DOWNLOADS: (100) PLAYS: (645) Tom Tancredo stormed off the set of the Ed Show when he was debating health care with Markos Moulitsas. Poor baby. It all started when Tancredo started trash-talking the Veterans Administration, at which point Markos brought up his chickenhawk past. He got angry and tried the standard conservative whine, realized he was better quitting while he was behind, and then stormed...

Sen. Lindsey Graham offers the least cogent commentary about New York-23 I've seen. Graham told Politico : To those people who are pursuing purity, you'll become a club not a party. Those people who are trying to embrace conservatism in a thoughtful way that fits the region and the state and the district are going to do well. Conservativism is an asset. Blind ideology is not. There's some unintended...

Said former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Louis Butler , testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, in a hearing on his nomination to the federal district court here in the Western District of Wisconsin. He is, in what has become typical confirmation hearing ritual, asserting his faithfulness to the law and attempting to quell charges of judicial activism. But isn't that quote interesting?...

The AP takes a skeptical eye to Democratic claims that Republicans are engaged in unprecedented obstruction of judicial nominees. Ten months into Barack Obama's presidency, Democrats are accusing Republicans of creating "a dark mark on the Senate" by delaying confirmation of his federal court nominees. The mark might not be as dark as Democrats make it seem. Of the 27 judicial nominations...

The pushback of the GOP's remaining moderates against the Teabagger crowd begins today . The morning after Republicans lost an upstate New York House seat, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned that conservative activists will bring destruction to the Republican Party if they drive out moderate candidates across the country. “To those people who are pursuing purity, you’ll become a club not...

Obama sure does love the Radicals doesn't he! Judge Hamilton "prohibited prayers in the Indiana House of Representatives that expressly mentioned Jesus Christ ... yet he allowed prayers which mentioned Allah." Senate Democrats are proving once again that no judicial nominee is too extreme for them to stomach. A move seems to be afoot to open debate on the Senate floor this week on the nomination...

At her confirmation hearing this past July, now-Justice Sonia Sotomayor exasperated and disgusted many of her supporters on the Left by attempting to disguise herself as a judicial conservative. In a recent event in which we both took part, SCOTUSblog’s Tom Goldstein stated emphatically that he was reliably informed that the White House, at the highest levels, determined in advance that it wanted...

Sometimes, if a word is used over and over again in the wrong way, it starts to lose its meaning. Take the word "guys," for example. It's now completely normal to say, "hey guys," to a group of people, even if there isn't a man in sight. It's a verbal tic that feels comfortable and gets an intention across, even if it's technically wrong. Yesterday, the Washington Times added to...

Remember back in July when Norma McCorvey was arrested for disruptive behavior during the confirmation hearings of Judge Sonia Sotomayor? Wait. Maybe not. The networks only gave her a few cursory seconds , if any. McCorvey is "Jane Roe," the plaintiff in the landmark Roe v Wade lawsuit, and the one-time pro-choicer was shouting for the verdict of her 1973 case to be overturned. If that's...

We’re still hungover from Halloween (we went as sexy Sonia Sotomayor, in case you were wondering), so we’re taking the easy way out today: bikini pictures! But we kind of think that you don’t mind.

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace dedicated the first half of his November 1 program to an interview with radio host Rush Limbaugh, during which Wallace allowed and in some cases prompted Limbaugh to advance numerous misleading, baseless, or outrageous claims, as well as engage in inflammatory attacks on President Obama. Limbaugh repeats false, misleading, and baseless claims without challenge Limbaugh...

Conservative media outlets including The Washington Times and Fox News have pushed the claim that health care reform proposals under consideration by Congress are unconstitutional. However, legal scholars -- including one who recently served as a special counsel to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) during Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation proceedings -- have pointed out the flaws in conservatives'...

Racist television goblin Lou Dobbs revealed a very scary story earlier this week on his radio show (he’s on the radio, too?). Three weeks earlier, he claimed, his New Jersey mansion was shot at while his wife was standing outside, and this came after “weeks and weeks of threatening phone calls.” Never one to rush [...] Sponsored Topics: New Jersey - Lou Dobbs - United States - Radio...

And in a sense, why should editors continue the charade? Nonetheless, when John Solomon took over as the Times' editor he claimed , much like Fox News does today, that sure, it's opinion leaned right, but its news whole was legit. I don't think anybody actually buys it, considering on the complete lack of standards that guide the partisan newspaper on a daily basis. Now here in a new Washington Independent...
