http://twitter.com/#!/back_ttys/status/472481382074445824 Sandra Fluke’s campaign recently declared victory over Rush Limbaugh, and now the California state senate candidate wants voters to know that her fight against the radio talk show host demonstrated her leadership qualities: http://twitter.com/#!/SandraFluke/status/472477800876609537 “Leader”?

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/GOP/status/506524410158006272 We get that the RNC is trying to zing the White House for its rank hypocrisy on this issue. But seeming to embrace the socialist notion that the government should mandate equal pay by gender is a total messaging #fail.

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/ChadPergram/status/482580708918300672 In Detroit, many residents have had their water shut off after failing to pay the bills.

OFA HQ: "When was the moon landing?" "1963" "You sure?" "Yes" "Okay, no need to double check then" — Ashe Schow (@AsheSchow) June 10, 2014 Remember that time OFA said something smart?

Angry lefties scold SCOTUSblog for Hobby Lobby decision; Just one problem…

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/JumpyNelson/status/483645678749376513 SCOTUSblog is a fantastic resource for learning about all-things related to the U.S. Supreme Court. The SCOTUSblog Twitter feed says on the main page that they are “a private blog about the Supreme Court of the U.S.” “Private,” as in “not part of the Supreme Court.” But learning the background information about SCOTUSblog before commenting isn’t on the agenda for some who are angry with this morning’s Supreme Court decision on the Hobby Lobby case. SCOTUSblog retweeted many and provided a funny running commentary about the […]
