I have always been primarily policy-oriented in my politics. The most boring candidate imaginable has my support so long as he is right on the issues and the most charismatic politician imaginable is worthless to me if he does not support the right things.

I believe conservatism must be about more than simply rooting for your favorite team. (more)

Presidential candidates frequently profess strong religious faith and many cite the Bible as the most influential book in their upbringing. Based on the manner in which most of the GOP candidates are savaging current front-runner Newt Gingrich, however, it is obvious that one of the Bible’s oldest and most well-known proverbs — “To err is human, to forgive divine” — is not among those verses these pundits were required to memorize in their Bible study classes.

The twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1951, limited U.S. presidents to two terms in office. But it’s time to change that, say MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough and former president Bill Clinton. (more)
Monday’s Gloria Allred-assisted bombshell about Herman Cain is inspiring a wide range of reactions from all corners of the American political landscape.

Lady Gaga fans know to expect the unexpected. Though she wasn’t wearing a meat dress or incubating in an egg during her performance at Bill Clinton’s “Decade of Difference” concert Saturday, the Mother Monster changed the lyrics from her signature hit “Bad Romance” to “Bill Romance,” alluding to the collected crushes of countless American women when the former president took office 18 years ago.

1.) Double trouble for Derpy Debbie — If today is Thursday, somebody in Congress must be doing something unethical. TheDC’s Amanda Carey reports: “The Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) will submit a new ethics complaint against Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, The Daily Caller has learned. The complaint, which will be filed on Thursday with the Office of Congressional Ethics, takes issue with DNC ads that appear to violate House rules. Thursday’s complaint will be the second the RNLA has leveled at Wasserman Schultz. Earlier this week the group sent a letter to the OCE about a 30-second ad touting President Barack Obama’s jobs plan. The video featured footage from Obama’s Sept. 8 speech to a joint session of Congress. House ethics rules prohibit members of Congress from using footage of official House proceedings for political purposes.” That’s the great thing about being a liberal: Rules are rules, until they keep you from doing whatever you want!
