In the event that the official Republican response to President (well, campaign Obama) Obama’s State of the Union Address wasn’t quite bizarre and hateful enough for you, you’ll have the opportunity to blow chunks twice as there will be a Tea Party response as well.
It’s typically said that an election year State of the Union speech is a hint at the campaign strategy to come.

It’s also clear that Occupy Wall Street has made an impact on the President.
While there is probably no video compilation that could cover the entire breadth of comments by the ‘blame yourself’ party, for now, this will have to do.

Apparently being on food stamps is part of the black experience, so put down your basketballs and turntables and listen to the crusty,old white guy. Oh, and guess what? Newt isn’t sorry and he feels his comments were taken out of context.
Willard Mitt Romney is the personification of the unctuous, deceptive greed and mortgage bubble lending that lead to the great economic abortion of 2008.

Much to the surprise of many, long shot candidate and favorite Google search query Rick Santorum appears to be locked in two-way tie with Mitt Romney in the Iowa Presidential Caucus. That’s right–Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney are in a same-sex tie for first place.
17 days left to collect about 32,000 signatures for the Scott Walker recall – and activists in Wisconsin have already collected 507,000 signatures in less than a month. 28 days, to be exact. That’s over 18,000 signatures a day, roughly 750 signatures an hour, every hour. Hated much, Walker?
With the inane clown posse Republican Iowa Caucus and State-wide primaries right around the corner, we can unequivocally expect a tsunami of phenomenally, breathtakingly moronic things to said (especially if Bachmann makes it through Iowa). But in the mean time, it’s important to look back and reflect on some of the phenomenally, breathtakingly moronic things that were already said.
Ron Paul’s Iowa chair, Drew Ivers, recently touted the endorsement of Rev. Phillip G.
