What to expect on Election Day – Nation and Iowa Not that I have a lot of extra time these days, but I thought I would throw together a quick prognostication about what I see going down on Tuesday. Most of my thoughts will focus upon the Presidential election, as you can imagine this is the headline of the night. PRESIDENT I went to RealClearPolitics.com | Read More »
No matter if Obama was really correct or brutally honest in claiming Egypt 2012 is neither an ally or an enemy, I was struck that the way the Obama administration chose to walk this one back was to claim…well, it was all our fault. You see, President Obama can’t help it if he was a lawyer by trade. Kinda. A super-smart lawyer. Sometimes, you see | Read More »
I wanted to share my experience with you, since frankly I believe there is a lot of confusion or misunderstanding about caucuses. I hope you’ll see my perspective and understand more about this process. First, I apologize that I don’t have any pictures. In my haste to get all the materials together after work, plus my focus in preparing a five-minute stump speech for Rick | Read More »
I have spent some time in 2011 working to advance conservative principles, and with respect to the Presidential election, advancing candidates who promote the ideas of conservatism. In early spring, I was inspired by Herman Cain’s simple message of smaller, simpler government and bringing real-world solutions to Washington, D.C. I resolved to join his early grassroots movement here in Iowa to promote his candidacy | Read More »
Today we celebrate the reason for the season: God’s love for us all. May God bless you and your family with peace and good tidings this Christmas season and all throughout the next year. Also posted at BA Cyclone’s blog.
I can’t say I have watched all the coverage this week of the fiasco that has been Penn State University and their football program, or more appropriately the personnel within their football program. I must say however that it saddens me, and even sickens me that thousands of students would riot in “support” of a football coach who allegedly had some (small) role in | Read More »
Full disclosure: I volunteered for the Michele Bachmann campaign at the Ames Straw Poll. I thought I would share with you a few pictures and just a little insight into what it looked like “on the ground” this past Saturday at the Ames Straw Poll. My day began early in the morning, as I made the 90-minute drive to get to Ames in time for | Read More »
I suspect most reasonable Americans, and certainly most reasonable Iowans are very sorry that someone woke up Tom Harkin for a press conference on Tuesday, July 20th (thanks to Brian Koenig for the video link), where he claimed several hysterical things and generally appeared angry, senile, or both. VIDEO Listen, Mr. Harkin, I am embarrassed enough that you are a Senator for my state. I | Read More »
This morning I was reading a mildly interesting story about the Iowa Straw Poll, and how six candidates “purchased real estate” for the Straw Poll via auction. Frankly, I have never visited this event before, so the background and detail was new to me. Anyway, halfway into the online article, the story takes a very strange twist. Maybe because Michelle Bachmann is an Iowa native, | Read More »
There has been much, and seemingly lately an increasing call for Governor Rick Perry to enter the fray to end Barack Obama’s presidency with just one term. It is rather easy to see a case why Mr. Perry would make an excellent candidate. As a governor, Mr. Perry automatically has executive, political bona fides that are hard to match. Being a governor alone isn’t enough | Read More »
