2 more fake companies donated millions to Romney

Yesterday the big news in the internets was the news that a company was incorporated, donated a million dollars to a super PAC associated with Mitt Romney and then disolved, all within the space of about 4 months. The building the business supposedly was based at in Manhattan had never heard of the company. All this has caused complaints to be filed to the SEC and DOJ. It turns out that two other companies have done something very similar for Mitt, yet it appears only one station has reported it, and that is a local Fox affiliate of all places.

Campaign finance reform: A better political system depends on better judges

Last week, Armando posited reproductive choice as reason enough in itself to support President Obama's re-election. It's a view I've long shared about Democrats, in general. But this year has made it clear that there are even more dangerous threats from Republicans, even from Republican judicial appointments.

Wisconsin Republicans file fake Democrats in six recall primaries

Democrats decried the tactic, then worried that Republicans might take their strategy a step further by forcing primaries in only some of the races. That would cause some general elections to be delayed but not others, leading to varied election dates and possible voter confusion.

GOP Rep. Amash’s tea party supporters boot senior citizens, reporters from event

One way Republicans have found of dealing with the bad press and hostility they've faced in public meetings over their highly unpopular budget plan has been what's actually a pretty typical Republican response: censorship. They've clamped down on reporters and citizen journalists, barring them from recording the events.

Alan Simpson’s Social Security lessons

Alan Simpson's stunningly ignorant and arrogant exchange with HuffPo reporter Ryan Grim is making the rounds. In that interview, Simpson steadfastly proclaimed ignorance of Social Security's actual demographic statistics, and then proceeded to dismiss the information as unbelievable. Simpson and the catfood commission have advocated raising the retirement age, with Simpson doggedly repeating the falsehood that people are living longer.

Republican budget would create millions more uninsured

Medicaid has become the Republican's primary target for massive budget cuts in the health sector. Which makes a new study from Kaiser Family Foundation and Urban Institute on the Republican budget, which would turn Medicaid into a block grant program and repeal the Affordable Care Act, even more critical. KFF and the Urban Institute find that the Republican budget could create an additional 44 million uninsured over the next ten years.

Republicans consulting Chevron and lobbyists on offshore drilling bills

House Republicans on the Natural Resources Committee are in the process of readying three bills on offshore drilling, and it seems that the Chairman, Rep. Doc Hastings (R-WA), has taken a page out of Dick Cheney's book on formulating energy policy. Which means, if you want to know the details, you need to either be a select Republican or on the guest list of Hastings':
