A lot of attention has recently been cast on a the so-called proposed truce on the social issues. In reality, this is a pipe dream for one very important reason- the opposition- the liberals and the Democrats and other liberals would never honor such a truce. If we kept the upcoming elections strictly to national security and fiscal issues, Democrats lose on the merits | Read More »
In psychology, there is the gestalt theory which basically means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In politics, incumbent Republican Indiana Senator Richard Lugar can probably best exemplify that concept. Before anyone jump to conclusions and assume this is a defense of Lugar, please read carefully. According to GovTrack. org, among Republicans, only perennial RINOs Olympia Snowe and Susan | Read More »
In a previous diary entry, I noted that both Mitt Romney and John Huntsman would have trouble winning the nomination for the Republican Party and an equally difficult time in a general election. Some took note that I seemed to intimate that their religion more than any factor would be a likely factor to oppose a Mormon candidate. With Romney, he has baggage, such | Read More »
Here we go again. As Americans grapple not only with the loss of jobs, those who do have jobs now find it more expensive to get to those jobs because of the price of gasoline. Make no mistake: the bulk of our oil imports is refined into gasoline and diesel for transportation purposes. And once again, the price of gasoline becomes a political football | Read More »
The next major vote in Congress will obviously be whether to increase the Federal debt ceiling. This is a pivotal point in American fiscal history and policy that could have wide-ranging effects for years to come.

The 2012 Senate races will present a unique opportunity for Republicans to take the upper chamber and, assuming Obama was to win the Presidency- not a given if one looks at his numbers, make life for Obama even more difficult. This is a very real possibility especially if the trends we saw in the 2010 midterms follow through into 2012. Again, although a lot | Read More »

I am assuming that Mitch Daniels will soon announce that he is a candidate for President of the United States. Actually, I am praying that he throws his name into the mix officially and if reports from Politico and CNN are correct, he may be leaning that way. Consider the opposition. We are talking the likes of Mitt Romney who, sorry to say, will | Read More »
Whenever I hear the possibility of Donald Trump seeking the Republican nomination, or even an independent run, this is the first thought that enters my mind: “Is this the best the party can do?” The recent WSJ/NBC poll is disconcerting to say the least. As a person who works for a Trump brand entity, I can safely state that Donald Trump is not the | Read More »
I recently broke down and read by local newspaper which, for $1.75 on Sunday, is generally a waste of money. But there was a great story in there that needs repeating because it shows what Governor Chris Christie has to deal with every day and, more importantly, the citizens of New Jersey have to deal with. For anyone who has ever travelled from north | Read More »
