Scott Rasmussen Column: Government Has No Business Dabbling In Busines

Just 16 percent of voters nationwide believe it was a good idea for the government to provide Solyndra with loan guarantees. The solar power company went bankrupt and stuck taxpayers with the tab for a half-billion dollars.

Author Advocates Letting ‘Mouth-breathing, Racist’ South Secede

Liberals really should decide how they feel about the idea of southern states seceding from the union. The MSNBC crowd suddenly wraps itself in Old Glory and rediscovers the meaning of “treason” at the mention of it. Others, like travel writer Chuck Thompson, wish they’d go.

Open Thread: What Ryan Actually Says About Medicare

The far left has already started a campaign to misinform the public about Paul Ryan's views about Medicare and how he supposedly wants to destroy the program. (The irony, of course, is that President Obama actually reduced funding of the program by $700 billion as part of his healthcare law.) Be that as it may, for those wondering what Ryan actually says about Medicare, National Review…

ABC, NBC Press Axelrod on Anti-Romney Cancer Ad as CBS Skips

As she substitute-hosted CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, Nancy Cordes managed to avoid bringing up the controversial Obama super PAC ad that blames Mitt Romney for the death of a man's wife, even though Obama advisor Stephanie Cutter was a guest in the first segment.
