Slave reference scrubbed from marriage vow signed by Bachmann, Santorum (New York Post)

July 10, 2011
WASHINGTON -- A socially conservative Iowa group apologized Saturday evening for a controversial reference to slavery in a "marriage vow" signed by presidential candidates Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Rick Santorum, Politico reported.
The marriage vow, which was created by the Pleasant Hill, Iowa-based group The Family Leader, calls on signers to swear fidelity to his or her spouse and also oppose "any redefinition" of marriage, including same-sex marriages.
The original vow also included a controversial passage in its preamble suggesting that black children born into slavery had a more stable family life than African-American children today.

Palin Plots Her Next Move (Newsweek)

"I believe that I can win a national election," Sarah Palin declared one recent evening, sitting in the private dining room of a hotel in rural Iowa. The occasion for her visit to quintessential small-town America was a gathering of the faithful that would have instantaneously erupted into a fervent campaign rally had she but given the word. Instead, it had been another day on the non–campaign trail, this one capped by a sweet victory: she had just attended the premiere of a glowingly positive documentary about her titled The Undefeated.
“The people of America are desperate for positive change, and deserving of positive change, to get us off of this wrong track,” she told me during a conversation that lasted late into the night and, inevitably, kept returning to the subject that has titillated the media and spooked Republican presidential contenders for months: her political intentions. “I’m not so egotistical as to believe that it has to be me, or it can only be me, to turn things around,” she said. “But I do believe that I can win.”

Sen. McConnell: Making Obama A One-Term President Is My Single Most Important Political Goal (Mediaite/Fox News Sunday)

by Matt Schneider
July 10th, 2011
Although Republican Senator Mitch McConnell was slightly unsure whether any of his Republicans colleagues seriously don’t want to raise the debt ceiling, he was on much firmer ground regarding his own future political goals. On Fox News Sunday, Bret Baier asked him if he stands by his previous statement that “the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term President.” McConnell confirmed that his goal remains unchanged.

Facebook: Florida House Rep. Rick Kriseman calls Jewish U.S. Senate candidate Adam Hasner's Hitler email reference "mindless"

"My fmr. colleague Adam Hasner, a candidate for U.S. Senate, compared our current gov't to Hitler’s Reich in an email to his supporters. Aside from being a ridiculous, offensive comparison, I’m pretty sure Adam, who is Jewish, wouldn’t even be running for office if our gov't was anything like Nazi Germany. This mindless hyperbole is better suited for Fox News or talk radio, not a senate race. It’s just disgusting."

Pat Buchanan Defends Tax Cuts for Private Jets and Pretends Poor People Don't Pay Any Taxes (CrooksAndLiars.com)
By Heather
July 1, 2011
MSNBC finally took Mark Halperin off the air for all the wrong reasons this week after he said President Obama acted like a "dick" because he dared to call out the Republicans for acting like spoiled children during these debt ceiling talks. I wonder what it would take to get this racist relic Pat Buchanan to finally leave their airwaves as well?
The mild mannered Martin Bashir, who actually did a good job of calling out Mitch McConnell the previous day with his revisionist history on who's to blame for our deficit skyrocketing, found himself outgunned by the volatile and aggressive Pat Buchanan during this segment where Buchanan was brought on to discuss the negotiations over raising the debt ceiling, and where Buchanan insisted that Republicans should stick to their guns no matter what and force Democrats and President Obama to accept massive budget cuts with absolutely no increases in taxes, even if those taxes are on a privileged few, like private jet owners.

Inside Sarah Palin's Movie Premiere For 'The Undefeated' (The Hollywood Reporter)

By Paul Bond
June 29, 2011
Despite announcing that press would be banned from theater, a few media outlets (including THR) obtained last-minute seats for the debut of the former VP candidate's documentary.
PELLA, IOWA – They sure do movie premieres funny around here.There was no red carpet and no bright lights – it wasn’t even dark yet. And the biggest celebrity in attendance, Sarah Palin, decided at the last moment not to pull up to the theater in an SUV but to park it around the corner and stroll down the street unannounced. She was about 50 yards out when the media hordes noticed and repositioned their cameras.
Palin was in Pella – population 10,000 – for the world premiere of The Undefeated, a documentary about her political career. She was dressed casually in bellbottom jeans and a shiny, silver belt, and was accompanied by her husband, Todd.

Jon Huntsman Hits Obama (Just Not in the Face) (Esquire)

by Chris Jones
June 22, 2011
On the day after Jon Huntsman announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination,
he continued his twin strategies of refraining from personal attacks on
President Obama while taking direct aim at his policies, particularly
when it comes to national security and the war in Afghanistan.
"I respect the President," Huntsman said yesterday when he kicked off his official campaign with a speech at Liberty State Park in New Jersey. "He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better president, not who's the better American."
