Currently it’s common to hear sorrowful wailing because the Republican Party is forced to choose one of the candidates running for president. If only XYZ had ran, THEN we’d have something to get excited about. This lack of interest from the Great Candidate(s) is then used as a corollary argument that Barack Obama is seen as unbeatable by the smart guys. I submit to you | Read More »

It’s former Speaker Newt!! Ah! Get on the raft with Newt, boys Get on the winning boat The | Read More »
There is a single candidate that stands between Mitt Romney and the 2012 Republican Party nomination for president. That person is not Jon Huntsman. Huntsman made a severe tactical error early on by thumbing his nose at conservatives. It made no sense at the time and is now revealed as a monumentally arrogant blunder. That person is not Rick Perry. For all his many attributes, | Read More »
Like others on this site including at least one front page poster, I came relatively late to the realization that Newt Gingrich is our best choice for 2012. Humans are herd animals for the most part with only sporadic twitches of original thought, and thus I bought into the conventional wisdom that Mr. Gingrich is a brilliant old wind bag with a checkered past and | Read More »
Among the arguments being trotted out to induce fear of a Newt Gingrich nomination, the ghastly and gigantic Gender Gap (c) is being given prominent play in all the usual places. My first exposure to the dreaded Gender Gap (c) was back in the 80′s when the news media (with a little help from their friends in the Democrat Party) discovered that on average women | Read More »
“I don’t claim to be the perfect candidate I just claim to be a lot more conservative than Mitt Romney.” Newt Gingrich I am supporting Newt Gingrich for president. I have kept my options open till very recently. There were several candidates whom I could have supported enthusiastically. One by one they have either chosen not to run or have performed poorly in doing so. | Read More »
My deepest yearnings cry out in anguish in the face of this necessity, yet Necessity being the Unstoppable Force, today I must sadly declare my Botness. I have made feeble efforts here to argue for comity among conservatives, for all of us to keep an open mind and a civil tongue, and to eschew the mindless vitriol that leads thither to destruction. My feeble efforts | Read More »
While I believe that Herman Cain made a real hash of things with his remarks to Piers Morgan about abortion, after watching the interview multiple times I now believe that the context modifies his words in a way most people are failing to understand or choosing to ignore. By example, when Newt Gingrich uttered his infamous line about “right-wing social engineering” conservatives of all stripes | Read More »
The battle for the GOP presidential nomination was greatly clarified in recent days in the wake of the Las Vegas debate and candidate statements in various interviews. The Las Vegas debate showcased yet another flaw in Mitt Romney’s make up: He has a glass jaw. If this were a boxing match he’d still be on the canvas. His hysterical over-reaction to Rick Perry regarding Lawngate | Read More »
I’ve been an interested observer of presidential elections for most of my life. As a teenager I laid in bed with an AM radio pressed to my ear listening to the Kansas City Republican Convention as the roll was called and Ronald Reagan narrowly lost to Jerry Ford. The most important words in that paragraph are the last seven: “Ronald Reagan narrowly lost to Jerry | Read More »
