It’s Still A Horse Race! (Update)

February 7, 2012

This evening GOP caucuses in Minnesota, Missouri, and Colorado show that it’s not a done deal for Mitt Romney.  Although Romney at this writing is eking* out a narrow victory in Colorado, Rick Santorum took Minnesota (even though former Gov. Tim Pawlenty has supported Romney since withdrawing from his presidential bid) and Missouri, with a [...]

Dumb and Dumber…

February 4, 2012

I don’t know if Romney’s handlers are just stupid or if the candidate is just being himself and going off script, but come on, having The Donald endorse you the day after you put your foot into it by saying that you don’t care about the poor because they have a safety net; are you [...]

Romney is a RINO Like McCain

February 2, 2012

And he will win because he excites the conservative roots of Middle America (inaudible laugh). I think a commenter summed it up best: Americans, it seems, have lost their minds. First, you vote for the Marxist Obama, because you want to feel good about yourselves and you want everyone else to see that America’s racism [...]

Romney-Santorum Ticket?

February 1, 2012

Rick Santorum’s conciliatory speech last night, that could have “Let There Be Peace On Earth…” playing in the background, may be part of his strategy to become Mitt Romney’s  running mate.  Balancing the ticket may be more imperative for the GOP this year as they struggle with the possibility of  the top spot going to [...]

Timing…

January 20, 2012

The timing for the  recent revelations about the personal life of Newt Gingrich by his ex-wife was rightly questioned by the Speaker in last night’s debate.  Word has it that the media had this exposé  for two weeks prior to leaking it at a time when Gingrich was beginning to surge in South Carolina.  Coincidence?  [...]

Romney May Win The Battle For The GOP Nomination, But Lose The War For The Presidency

January 15, 2012

Baggage, that’s the operative word in the primary race between Gingrich and  Romney.  Both candidates have baggage that in this year of a populist wave from the weary and shrinking middle class will not appeal to the Democrats won over by Reagan in 1980, nor Independents. Ron Paul won’t gain the nomination because of his [...]

Huntsman Calls For Term Limits

January 7, 2012

Despite the political faux pas of speaking mandarin, Jon Huntsman was the only candidate at tonight’s GOP debate that revived the concept of term limits as set forth in the 1994 Republican Contract With America.  However, like most of the substantive issues raised by the non-front runners, the ABC panel did not follow this up [...]

Today’s Court Jester An Example Of Societal Insensitivity

December 30, 2011

When is a joke, not funny?  When it comes at the expense of vulnerable children and adults and perpetuates a prejudicial stereotype.  Comedienne Sarah Silverman crossed that line  for the price of a laugh when recently she opened her act  with what she obviously thought was a clever remark, but was more sardonic and bordered on crude and [...]

The Big Squeeze

December 27, 2011

For retailers the holidays have spelled more traffic by customers, but smaller profits.  So, how do we explain the coverage on the nightly newscasts of crowds fighting to get into the stores?  A combination of pent-up desire from shopping junkies, controlled inventories, and large discounts. Despite the consumer having less to spend since inflation continues to [...]

Mad Science? (Update)

December 21, 2011

Development of  A[H5N1] (Bird Flu) in order to study the evolution of a pandemic pathogen was funded by the U.S.Government.  Now when the researchers want to publish their findings in a professional journal, government officials disclaim knowledge of the scope and dangerous implications of the research.  The reality is that applying for research monies to [...]

So, you’d vote for Ron Paul if it weren’t for his ‘wacky’ foreign policy?

December 18, 2011

FACT: Members of military have given him far more money than other GOP candidates and Barack Obama The PolitiFact Truth-O-Meter Says This Ron Paul Statement is TRUE: And I’ll tell you one thing about this business about the military: We just had a quarterly (campaign finance) report, and they listed all the money that all the [...]
