I’m going to have to disagree with my friend Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, who questions whether concerns about Media Matters’ tax-exempt status are simply a partisan grudge. “I think this is a mistake,” he says. “Setting a precedent of opening tax

When John King opened the last CNN-hosted GOP debate with a question regarding Newt Gingrich’s ex-wife, Newt lit into him, putting King on the defensive early. In fact, King remained defensive during CNN’s post-debate report. “This story did not come

Mitt Romney’s father, liberal Republican George Romney, met with and endorsed infamous progressive activist Saul Alinsky; meanwhile, in a defense of Mitt Romney against charges of racism, the National Black Chamber of Commerce points out the significant influence the elder

Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez recently called Barack Obama “a clown and an embarrassment.” Chavez may hold a similar opinion of Mitt Romney – for good reason. Along with siding with the Left, as recently as 2005, then Governor Mitt Romney undermined
