The Wrap-Up: February 7, 2012

Roland Martin

Today is Primary/Caucus Day for Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado. There outcomes, however, may not clear up the GOP nomination at all.

Today will also see yet another ruling in the Proposition 8 court case.

After putting his foot in his mouth, Roland Martin makes a classic non-apology by claiming to be anti-soccer instead of anti-gay.

Remember Christine O'Donnell? Apparently neither do her former donors.

Daniel Radcliffe

Evan Wolfson of "Freedom to Marry" took on Brian Brown from "National Organization for Marriage" in stunning fashion, showing us all how it's done.

What does an improved economy mean for whichever Republican wins the nomination Mitt Romney?

Speaking of Republicans, Daniel Radcliffe sounds off on the candidates and gay equality in America.

Only the Tea Party could come up with this "reasoning." It just sounds like a bid for relevance to me.

What do small business owners think about the Bush tax cuts?

And lastly, Mitt Romney has done something I wish Rick Santorum would do: stopped answering questions.

ADDENDUM: The Ninth Circuit Court has ruled Proposition 8, passed in 2008, unconstitutional. REJOICE FOR FREEDOM!!!

The Wrap-Up: December 15, 2011

President Barack Obama

The White House has rescinded its threat to veto the National Defense Authorization Act, despite many terrible provisions that are patently un-Constitutional.

Canadians are being warned that their nation may be striped of its progressive accomplishments by the Tories (conservatives), including (but not limited to) marriage equality.

If Lowes removed its ads from TLC's "All-American Muslim" to avoid controversy, the scope of its failure seems to grow by the day.

The Florida "Family" Association, the organization claiming credit for getting Lowes to drop its ads in "All-American Muslim," has quite a long list of complaints.

Donald Trump

The video I posted yesterday about Virginia chapters of the Tea Party and Occupy Richmond meeting was based on an article from Salon.com which can be found here.

Not only are most of the GOP candidates not showing up to Donald Trump's debate, he isn't showing up either.

Rick Santorum says he is right where he wants to be in this GOP race. Someone should tell him that political campaigns don't work like golf scores.

 

A GOP led effort to pass a balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution failed on Wednesday 47-53 (it needed 2/3 to pass). A similar measure had already failed in the House.

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) made a few surprising admissions on liberals and the debt in a Wednesday appearance on C-SPAN.

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC)

What constitutes blocking a president's nominee to be an ambassador? If You're Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC), denouncing homophobia. This of course says more about DeMint than it says about the nominee.

West Virginia has included sexual orientation and gender identity/expression in the state's anti-bullying policy.

And lastly, Mitt Romney has just nabbed the wiccan-demographic.

Christine O'Donnell Walks Off

I guess it's a good thing she lost to Senator Chris Coons last year. He can actually take the heat that she can't.
