Bid to end Afghan war..........GOP roadblock.

(02-22) 04:00 PST Washington - -- Amid a battle in the House over how to cut billions in spending, liberal Rep. Barbara Lee of Oakland joined conservative Republicans Ron Paul of Texas and Walter Jones of North Carolina last week on a bill that could save more than $100 billion a year by ending the war in Afghanistan.Link

Ron Paul's coffers.

The revolution is alive and well. Ron Paul raised more than $700,000 for his PAC in 24 hours during a President's Day money bomb. Paul pioneered the online fundraising technique during his 2008 presidential run, and yesterday's impressive haul shows he still has a significant base of support. LibertyPAC promoted the money bomb with a web video posted on Paul's Facebook page which leads supporters to believe the Texas congressman is leaning toward another run for president. "If we show him enough support, he will announce his official candidacy for 2012," reads the text that appears halfway through the two-minute video.Link

A Santorum is gross.........

Former GOP Sen. Rick Santorum (PA) has a problem: he's eying a run for president, but his name recognition is weak. And Google, as it turns out, isn't really helping his brand image. Enter "Rick Santorum" into a Google search and you should get over half a million results. But two out of the top four are references to a sexual neologism coined as a tribute to Santorum's past denunciations of homosexuality. The neologism? Anal sex.Link
