With Rove getting attacked for trying to shut down the Tea Party, his group American Crossroads is now running an ad attacking Ashley Judd.

We now see where the House GOP is looking for a ‘compromise’ on immigration reform: creating a second class non-citizenship status for those who want a pathway to real citizenship.

It’s being treated as a relatively minor story. And I understand the reasons. But the idea that the US Mail is no longer going to be delivered on Saturday is just mind blowing to me.

DC Republicans devise new post-election message for pre-election agenda.

You wouldn’t think that predicting Mitt Romney would win 890 electoral votes would have consequences. But apparently so. Dick Morris has been let go by Fox News.

Fox also recently dropped Sarah Palin but renewed the contract of Karl Rove.

I don’t know if anyone else is watching CNN from about 6:05 to about 6:10 eastern. But my God, they’re covering the possibly-Beyonce-related Super Bowl blackout investigation as something on a par with the investigation into 9/11. Missed warnings! Questions about the strength of the 9/11! A massive electricity intelligence failure and how can we be certain this never happens again?

Top House Republican says GOP prefers the sequesters big defense cuts to any new tax revenue.

A new poll says 39% of voters are less likely to support a NRA-backed candidate, 26% more likely.

As advertised, President Obama is calling on Congress to pay down the sequester for a few months with a mix of less abrupt spending cuts and new tax revenues. Specifically, he argues that Congress should buy itself time to hash out a unified budget — to create a glide path for further deficit reduction — instead of attempting to cobble together legislative priorities while the sequester takes its toll on government services and the economy.

“If congress can’t act immediately on a bigger package, if they can’t get a bigger package done by the time the sequester scheduled to go into effect, then I believe that they should at least pass a smaller package of spending cuts and tax reforms that would delay the economically damaging effects of the sequester for a few more months until congress finds a way to replace these cuts with a smarter solution,” Obama said. “Congress is already working towards a budget that would permently replace the sequester at the very least we should give them the chance to come up with this budget instead of making indiscriminate cuts now that will cost us jobs and significantly slow down our recovery.” Read More

Everybody’s sure immigration reform is coming. Except it has to get through the House GOP caucus and the House Judiciary Committee where pretty much everyone is hostile to reform.
