Rent is Too Damn High Guy Rambles Nonsensically on FOX Business

Yes, I realize that makes him like most people on FOX Business. Jimmy McMillan is back and wants the people's debt waived because they're 61% owners of General Motors?

TFD Opinions: Republican Presidential Nomination Odds July 7

I'll update this every week (or less frequently in slow election news periods) with my take on who's going to win the nomination.

9. Newt Gingrich 3%- I'm guessing the only reason his campaign is still alive (albeit barely) is because he wants to make some more money off the attention he gets as a candidate. He's run his campaign about as poorly as one can but I still give him 3% because no candidate has really shined yet and he at least has ideas even if they're bad ones.

8. Rick Santorum 3%- It's kind of surprising he's not doing at least a little bit better. He's not really a likable character but he's one of the few candidates that can legitimately put a checkmark next to all of the solid conservative viewpoints that most primary voters expect.

TFD Opinions: The Debt Ceiling is Not a Bargaining Chip

The White House and Congressional leaders have been earnestly negotiating a deal to raise the debt ceiling. There shouldn't be a negotiation. Not only should the debt ceiling be raised, there shouldn't be one in the first place. For some reason, public opinion is actually against raising the debt ceiling. I'm hoping that's just because most people don't actually understand what the debt ceiling is.

TFD Opinions: Mitt Romney Didn't Flip Flop...This Time

First opinion post will be something I rarely, if ever, do...defending Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney has developed a well deserved reputation as a flip-flopper over the last few years, so much so that the media and his opponents spend their time searching his statements for inconsistencies. Last week, Mitt Romney was caught in yet another flip flop...or was he? Rachel Maddow was one of many to attack Mitt Romney on his flip flop here.
