But while many Americans were doubtless disgusted with her analogy, few should have been surprised. After all, Mitt Romney hasn't merely stated that his five […]

Tagg Romney never fought for his nation, but for his thin-skinned dad he would take a swing at the President of the United States.

Now, the man GOP strategist and former Romney adviser Michael Murphy in 2005 called "a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly" is at it again. In a meeting with the Des Moines Register editorial board, Romney declared, […]

You can't hit what you can't see. That in a nutshell has been Mitt Romney's campaign strategy for months. From his mysterious tax returns and erased Massachusetts records to his shifting immigration stands, AWOL strategy for Afghanistan and so much more, Team Mitt long ago decided that discretion was the better part of valor.

In his latest October surprise, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney used a major foreign address Monday to declare he would provide renewed leadership for the Middle East process.
