Filed in National by on January 12, 2012 7 Comments

…. you either kill yourself or shower with steel wool. Sarah Palin, the failed Vice Presidential nominee and half term Governor of Alaska, a woman who currently holds no official or unofficial position within the Republican Party, government, organization or association, is making demands.

Filed in National by on January 12, 2012 11 Comments

Biden’s father, Vice President Joe Biden, drafted and sponsorsed the bill back in 1994, and he frequently points to it as one of his best accomplishments as legislator. Indeed, the National Organization for Women described the bill as “the greatest breakthrough in civil rights for women in nearly two decades.”

But will VAWA be taken hostage by the radical right, or will they reauthorize it at all?

Now, keep in mind that South Carolina is the LAST chance for any of these horrible alternatives to Romney to pull off a win. If Romney wins South Carolina, the nomination is his.

Which is why Romney is leading in South Carolina, aided by a polling boost from a “win” in Iowa. If Romney wins there, it’s all over.

And conservatives will be left a candidate they absolutely hate.
