Mitt Romney Is Going To Get Whiplash

On Sunday, Mitt Romney boldly declared that Israel’s economic superiority over the Palestinians was due to its culture. On Tuesday morning, he dismissed any notion that he had even discussed Palestinian culture. On Tuesday night, Romney reversed himself yet again, in an op-ed entitled “Culture Does Matter.”

It’s Past Time For The DOE And Elected Officials To Speak Out On The Pencader Charter School Saga – And The Fate Of That School

I was planning on waiting until I had more concrete information on what is going on at Pencader Charter High School before writing a post, but information on the school's fate is slim on the ground.  So, forgive me.  This post will ask more questions than provide answers.  Basically, it's going to be a bit of a mess.  Try and bear with me.

Worthy?

Who says something like this? After Gabby Giffords was shot Republicans were screaming about not "politicizing" the event, screeching about how "now was the time to think about the victims." They were all about showing "respect" for the victims and their families.

The Anglo-Saxon Romney Campaign

In remarks that may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity, one suggested that Mr Romney was better placed to understand the depth of ties between the two countries than Mr Obama, whose father was from Africa. “We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have”.
I am not shocked by this statement - I've always known this is what many conservatives believe. What shocks me is how blatant their statements have become.
