RNC Political Director Rick Wiley is way too hip for this presidential campaign
According to Josh Fruhlinger at Wonkette, RNC Political Director Rick Wiley has been sending “Obama’s campaign manager like four or five Tweets a day making fun of his lousy campaign and calling him “bro.”" Seriously:
The RNC does important stuff! Fruhlinger reports that “Jim Messina’s been taking the high road so far and not responding.” Why would anyone respond to such an idiot? Told you conservative pinheads like to spew trash on Twitter.
Tip: Bro, try gluing some of that chin beard where your eyebrows should be.

Your GOP-led Congress and jobs, jobs, jobs
Dave Weigel remarks on the lousy jobs forecast and how your Congress is ON IT:
“Michele Bachmann assures us that the economy is struggling because of “uncertainty.” Mitt Romney wants the “kick in the gut” to end. Amid all the verbs and gerunds expressing disappointment, Eric Cantor gives us a sort of heads-up about how Congress will respond: “In the coming weeks, the House will vote to stop the tax hike on working families and remove the red tape burdening small businesses to reduce uncertainty and make America more competitive.” What this means, functionally: The House will hold yet another vote on full repeal of the Affordable Care Act. It will pass, and die in the Senate. Tread carefully. After that vote, you don’t want to be mobbed on the street by newly certainty-infused people offering you jobs.”
And another thing:

President Obama is 100% committed to not extending tax cuts for the wealthy
Think Progress reports on Robert Gibbs’ and Jay Carney’s insistence that the President is 100% committed to not extending tax cuts for the wealthy:
“As House Republicans return to Washington to a vote on extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for another year, Obama adviser Robert Gibbs insisted that the president would not support giving rich people another tax break. “Let’s make some progress on our spending by doing away with tax cuts for people who quite frankly don’t need them – tax cuts that haven’t worked,” Gibbs said during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union. Obama is “100% committed” to that position, he insisted. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney made a similar pledge last month when he was asked directly if the president supports a temporary extension of the cuts, which expire at the end of the year. Carney said, “He will not. Could I be more clear?””
Your decision in November is pretty clear:

Tennessee Tea Party goes Full Metal Orwell
Rewriting history to suit your personal comfort level is doubleplusgood.
Charles Johnson reports that Teabaggers in Tennessee are demanding that school textbooks leave out America’s history of slavery:
“…a group of Tea Party activists in Tennessee has renewed its push to whitewash school textbooks. The group is seeking to remove references to slavery and mentions of the country’s founders being slave owners.
“According to reports, Hal Rounds, the Fayette County attorney and spokesman for the group, said during a recent news conference that there has been “an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another.
“[...] The group called for textbook selection criteria to include: “No portrayal of minority experience in the history which actually occurred shall obscure the experience or contributions of the Founding Fathers, or the majority of citizens, including those who reached positions of leadership.”“
