Once again, +Dave T., you're being obtuse. California is now in the hands of a moonbat who subscribes to the leftist chant of "tax, spend, regulate."  And this failed style of governance has driven businesses out of California, whereas Texas has done everything correctly, resulting in businesses going to that state in droves.  At the moment, the Governor of CA is trying desperately to stop the  hemorrhaging, but he isn't as successful as he'd like to be, as is evidenced by the entertainment industry relocating from CA to more business-friendly states.
Your arguments thus far have been nothing more than your typical flailing - amusing, but not effective.

At it again!
Republican strategist Karl Rove added his name to the list of critics seeking to unskew a bunch of New York Times/Kaiser Family Foundation polls which showed a number of Democrats in key Senate races running either neck-and-neck or ahead of their Republican competitors. Rove claimed the poll was "badly done." The polls' findings provoked criticism from The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, among others, who said that the surveys were wrong because...

Yikes:
The conservative outside group Americans For Prosperity photoshopped a picture of President Barack Obama and Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) during a visit to a Colorado hospital after the shooting massacre in Aurora for a campaign ad attacking Udall on Obamacare. The cut-and-paste job was first reported by Buzzfeed's Evan McMorris-Santoro on Wednesday.

The ad was pulled. The use of this photo to make Obama look like he is ashamed and a loser who is hammered and battered over Obamacare is tasteless. The context is the lie they tried to perpetuate with their photoshopped image. They posted the picture from a somber event into a political ad used fur their purposes. Out of context. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Slimy is as slimy does.

Awkward:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) got into a tense exchange with President Barack Obama when the president asked her to help set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau alongside then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, a longtime rival who did not support Warren's nomination to run the organization. "You're jamming me, Elizabeth," Obama said, as recounted in Warren's new memoir, "A Fighting Chance." Excerpts of the book were reported by The Bo...

+Timothy Collins we sure would and how is it when Obama can hide his passport so no one can see that he was in pacistan so many times. What is the reason all laws are broken for one man from ILL. ?
He needed a security clearance to get in congress and to see all nsa and intel reports so what happened.
Next why can the oval office be held by someone without a clearance or background report from fbi ? Too many cover ups..is he Sadam Husains lost son ?

Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar suggested on Monday that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's racist rant is at least partially his girlfriend's fault. "And now the poor guy’s girlfriend (undoubtedly ex-girlfriend now) is on tape cajoling him into revealing his racism," Abdul-Jabbar wrote in a blog post for Time. "Man, what a winding road she led him down to get all of that out. She was like a sexy nanny playing 'pin the fried chic...

+Robert Nugent I don't think any of the people kicking him out of the NBA need his money. Cool story though. That's the best attempt at finding someone else to blame it on though.

+Peggy Green Yes. Really. Because it was a catalyst for it. I get it. You guys dig the video, but don't fret, I'm sure you can find it on the Internet Machine.

And it wasn't "AQ" that attacked, it was a local militia group, Ansar al Sharia.

Bill Kristol is at it once again and his latest forecast is a doozy:
Bill Kristol is at it once again and his latest forecast is a doozy: a Hillary Clinton- David Petraeus 2016 presidential ticket. The former secretary of state is perhaps the most popular name mentioned as a 2016 presidential candidate. Petraeus had been mentioned as a presidential candidate before but those prospects sank after an extramarital affair triggered his resignation from the CIA.
