Obama doesn't hate the troops
Radio and TV talker Glenn Beck (on May 25) said, "Obama is skipping out on a Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington Cemetery because he'll be in Chicago on vacation." On his show, Beck incorrectly asserted that the president "has decided not to honor our troops on Memorial Day."
Beck said, "Maybe this has happened before. I don't recall it."
"The critics were either ignorant of the facts or they failed to mention the 2007 Veterans Day ceremony when Vice President Dick Cheney spoke while President George W. Bush observed the holiday in Texas.
Interesting take on the GOP factions
"One way to understand the divisions in the Republican Party is as a clash of regional philosophies. Northeastern conservatism is moderate, accepts the modern welfare state, and dislikes mixing religion with politics. Western conservatism is hawkish, hates government, and embraces individual freedom. Southern conservatism is populist, draws on evangelical Christianity, and plays upon racial resentments. The big drama of the GOP over the past several decades has been the Northeastern view giving way to the Southern one.
Why is the GOP against math and science funding?
In an example of Republican obstructionism rendered beautiful by its simplicity, the GOP yesterday killed a House bill that would increase funding for scientific research and math and science education by forcing Democrats to vote in favor of federal employees viewing pornography.
Why is this necessary in 2010???
"In Alabama, a state PAC recently went on the air with an ad attacking one of the Republican gubernatorial candidates for supporting the teaching of evolution in schools and for saying that parts of the Bible aren't true.

A party devoid of ideas??? You must be forgetting Confederate History Month!
Another great idea, brought to you by the Republican party:
Awwww... poor GOP
"Given all external indicators, the GOP hierarchy should be having a pretty good time right about now.
President Obama's health care plan is still unpopular. The public views Republicans as better able to deal with the messy economy. Polls show that, by a slim margin, voters prefer Republicans to Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
What could go wrong?
For starters, how about a meltdown over at the Republican National Committee?"

A whole party of flip-floppers
"Republicans were for President Barack Obama's requirement that Americans get health insurance before they were against it.
"The obligation in the new health care law is a Republican idea that's been around at least two decades. It was once trumpeted as an alternative to Bill and Hillary Clinton's failed health care overhaul in the 1990s. These days, Republicans call it government overreach.
GOP's inspiring response to "Yes we can"
Why do people think republicans are just angry obstructionists?
