“I have no idea, nor am I the least bit concerned or interested. I’ve got a job to do here in New Jersey that’s much bigger than presidential politics and I could care less about any of that stuff. I have a job to do. I’ve got 2.4 million people out of power. I’ve got devastation on the shore. I’ve got floods in the northern part of my state. If you think right now I give a damn about presidential politics then you don’t know me.”

— New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

Romney types, of course, are the ones who sign the front of the paycheck, and the Obama types are the one who have spent their entire lives signing the back of them.

Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin, slamming Obama supporters and “implying that they too do not understand how private equity works because they have not been employers themselves.”

Today in classist news reporting.

And Fox is now starting the line “Your taxes are being increased.”

I will never fail to be amazed at the conservative mind.

Yes — Obama’s contradicting ‘The Jesus.’ (Picks up a copy of the Bible.) And I, right now, would like to read to you what ‘The Jesus’ said about homosexuality. (Beat.) I’d like to, but he never said anything about it.

Recently, Fox News has been blaming Obama for high gas prices…

Well, watch Fox News, back in 2008, explaining why the President (then President Bush) doesn’t have control over the gas prices

“No president has the power to increase or to lower gas prices!”

“The next time you hear a politician say he or she will bring down oil prices, understand it’s COMPLETE BS!” -Bill O’Reilly

Yes, Bill. It is complete BS… Too bad it’s a big part of the platform that republicans are running on this year.

Drift never makes the case that war might be necessary. America would be weakened dramatically if we had underreacted to 9/11. However, Rachel Maddow makes valid arguments that our country has been drifting towards questionable wars, draining our resources, without sufficient input and time. People who like Rachel will love the book. People who don’t will get angry, but aggressive debate is good for America. Drift is a book worth reading.

During an appearance on Fox News Sunday this morning, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) couldn’t explain why the public rejects large parts of the Republican legislative agenda and instead blamed Democrats for opposing it.

Asked why a recent New York Times/CBS News poll showed that 67 percent of Americans favor raising taxes on millionaires to reduce the deficit, and that 80 percent oppose cutting Medicare, Cantor could only say, “It is unfair that these individuals who want a better life and want more jobs and higher pay are not getting it.”

No, Eric.  We reject GOP policy because we are tired of the 1% gaming the system to make them richer while we work 50 hours a week to barely get by, anxious because we might get sick and our employee health coverage (if we are lucky enough to have it), just got decreased while raising deductions and because we are sick and tired of you “freedom fighters” insisting on injecting yourselves into our private lives.

“To tell you the truth, a lot of conservatives see Fox News as being somewhat skewed on certain issues,” said Patrick Brown, who runs Internet marketing for The Western Center for Journalism, a conservative nonprofit that features stories questioning the president’s eligibility for office. “We actually did a poll recently that said, ‘Is Fox News actually conservative, or has it moved left?’ And some 70 percent of our readers thought it had moved left.”

LOL!
