Team Rick Perry Debates Whether or Not To Quit Debating

Team Rick Perry is in a quandary: Should it force the Rick Perry to stop debating and let people think him a fool, or should it allow him to debate and remove all doubt? Politico is reporting that the Rick Perry might stop debating his opponents after the Michigan face-off. Really? don’t know why. In past debates he has displayed the charm of Skeletor, the hairstyle of Rod Blagojevich, and the eloquence and c Read More [...]

Redux: Republicans Can’t Win – Unless

On a tip from a friend I delved into Phyllis Schafly‘s interesting work, “A Choice Not an Echo.” It explores how the Republican Party has rigged the system to pre-ordain our candidates for us going back to at least 1940. Though she wrote her work in the 1960s, the trend she lays down continues. In Chapter Three “Republicans Can’t Win – Unless,” she makes the point that GOP Read More [...]

Perry’s “Heighth of Hypocrisy”

Texas Governor Rick Perry recently attacked Herman Cain’s comments on abortion. Cain has shown that he has does have difficulties with articulating his view at times. There is a positive reason for this – he is not a typical politician that has a canned answer to any question based on focus groups and polling; however, it does create fodder for political rivals who generally believe in little more than winn Read More [...]

Time to Go

With a dozen more debates looming on the horizon it is time to narrow the field of potentials in the GOP primary. I will not lie. There are eight candidates that I would like to see drop out tomorrow, but I think a more realistic number is three: Michelle Bachmann. I started out as a fan of Congresswoman Bachmann. She has been an outspoken critic of Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, and other left-wing boondoggles. Read More [...]

Cain’s Big Break

Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan has come under attack from various directions. Many, including myself, appreciate the boldness of the plan and basic premise that good will come from discarding the current, complicated, and bought and paid for tax code. A simple plan will save money for individuals and companies since resources will not be wasted in complying with the plan and it will save money for the government be Read More [...]

Rick Santorum’s Fatal Economic Flaw

Rick Santorum’s economic plan seems to be centered on getting manufacturing jobs back from overseas by making us more competitive. This is a fatal flaw in his economic plan and the primary reason why I do not support him. It shows one of two things, either Mr. Santorum does not understand the realities of economics or he will be willing to further manipulate the markets to bring those jobs back. Manipulating Read More [...]

GOP Elites Concerned About Tea Party Crashers

Two steps forward, and one step back. Such is the GOP establishment’s proscription for Americans to go hopscotching into full-blown authoritarianism. But the tea party wants to pick up the rocks and smack the Republican Party elites over the head with them in order to vainly try to knock some sense into their power-hungry skulls. When it comes to the Republican Party, the elites seem content to play musical c Read More [...]

GOP Debate: Candidates Pull Cain Mutiny, Romney Holds Line, Perry Goes Overboard

If the GOP were electing a captain to steer America’s ship of state out of rocky waters, then it is far from clear who will take the helm. But what we do know is there are a lot of first mates, and a few have just fallen overboard. The rising Herman Cain immediately felt the changing tide of mutiny, as he was first to be asked a question, and then was bombarded all night by the other candidates on his 9-9-9 p Read More [...]

The Case for Herman Cain

Herman Cain is surging in the polls despite the best efforts of media pundits and the Republican establishment to dismiss his chances to become the Republican nominee. Even Bill O’Reilly, who is arguably successful at managing some objectivity despite his largely conservative view of the world, still dismisses Cain primarily on the basis of Cain’s inexperience. Unfortunately, these pundits and even Mr. O’ Read More [...]

The King Makers – Endorsements That Could Change the Presidency

For weeks now the media has been clamoring for information on who will run in the 2012 election and who will not. Speculation surrounding Gov. Chris Christie and Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been driving the media nuts. Those of us who live outside of the “Beltway Bubble” have a different perspective on the upcoming presidential race. Most of us have known for a while now that neither of them woul Read More [...]
