The Wrap-Up: February 13, 2012

Today is the day that Washington Governor Chris Gregoire will sign marriage equality into law in her state. While it's definitely a good thing overall, I disagree with the timing.

Rick Santorum gives yet another reason for us not to want him as President...as if we needed one. And yet again, he has no idea what he's talking about.

Over the weekend, Mitt Romney managed to break his losing streak...barely.

Despite that win, Romney's national out look is less than stellar. It's good for him that his campaign is loaded. 

Seriously, Santorum is just starting to sound paranoid. Okay, he's been sounding paranoid for a while, but this is beyond the pale.

Super-Tuesday is less than a month away and the GOP candidates will be all over the place.

Here is a look into that anti-Ellen spokesperson (Sandy Rios) who appeared on Bill O'Reilly's show last week (you can see that clip HERE).

Guess who is getting a brand new naval ship named after her...

And lastly, while CPAC (a conservative gathering in D.C) was taking place, protesters rallied outside, and Andrew Breibart made a colossal ass of himself trying counter them (and failing/flailing miserably).

Who's At CPAC? Racists, Bigots...& Google!!!

The Wrap-Up: February 10, 2012

Rep. Allen West (R-FL)
For those thinking of not voting for Barack Obama, here is one reason why you should (especially given that battles coming in the next few years).

Luckily, many of the trends (though not all) are in Obama's favor.

CPAC's convention began today, which I suppose explains this headache I have.

A British politician has stated that his country's conservative party is "riddled with homosexuals." And to think I thought American Republicans had cornered market on that brand of hypocrisy.

Rick Santorum has a real knack for not knowing what the Hell he is talking about.

Former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ)
Out-spoken (Tea-Party backed) Allen West, who has many outrageous statements to his credit) may have a strong "well-financed" Democratic opponent for his congressional seat.

Uganda's government tries to have its cake and eat it too...but fails in doing so. Unless you categorically denounce this bill, you are, at the very least, tacitly complicit.

Rep. Gabby Giffords had an interesting request for one of her former aides.

And lastly, today in political stupidity, a Mississippi legislator wants to axe the Gulf of "Mexico."
