Super Tuesday: Romney and Santorum Limp Along, Tea Party Claims First Scalp

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  March 7th at 12:31 AM  | 

Romney wins OH, VA, MA, VT, and ID; Gingrich wins GA; Santorum wins OK, TN, and ND.  Alaska is still pending.  Here are some random thoughts. 1) It looks like Romney will eke out a very narrow win in Ohio.  The pattern is becoming familiar.  Romney can’t just outspend his opponents; he must swamp them in order to pull out a narrow victory.  There is | Read More »

Mitt Romney’s Debt Ceiling Deception

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  February 23rd at 11:12 AM  | 

For the most part, last night’s debate was refreshing in the sense that the candidates were honest about their lack of conservatism.  Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul affirmed their support for some aspect of earmarking (although some parsed words), Rick Santorum owned up to his support of No Child Left Behind, Ron Paul unabashedly enunciated his support for Iran’s nuclear program, and Newt Gingrich also confirmed | Read More »

Romneycare, Bain Capital, 2012, and the Lost Opportunity to Assail Obamacare

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  January 10th at 09:14 PM  | 

“Romney’s career as a venture socialist governor is what should concern us; not his career as a venture capitalist in the private sector.” At this point, residents of South Carolina are already getting tired of those TV ads and documentaries detailing the destruction wrought by Romneycare.  They are jaded by the flashing screens of middle class sob stories from respectable Massachusetts taxpayers – taxpayers who | Read More »

Mitt Romney: Leader of the Pale Pastel Wing of Party

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  December 12th at 10:30 AM  | 

During Saturday night’s GOP debate, Mitt Romney demonstrated once again why he is failing to gain traction with the conservative base.  He continues to muddle the distinction between Obama’s policies and true free-market doctrine.  Romney consistently invokes progressive policy doctrines, while tempering them with banal flavors of conservatism. We must remember that every time a candidate failed to draw a sharp intellectual distinction between himself | Read More »

Newt Gingrich Tells the Truth About the Palestinian Non-Entity

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  December 10th at 08:44 PM  | 

“The Palestinians are the global warming climate change of geopolitical conflict. They use deceptive parlance to advance their agenda.” Newt Gingrich hit it out of the park with his succinct assessment of the “Palestinian” cause. One of the most incorrigible fallacies pertaining to the Middle East is the notion that the Palestinians are entitled to a state of their own.  This fallacy stems from the | Read More »

Sarah Palin Opposes All Energy Subsidies

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  May 31st at 01:31 PM  | 

As the presidential election heats up, we will continue to track where the candidates stand on ethanol and energy subsidies.  The issue of ethanol subsidies is vital to conservatives for several reasons.  First, ethanol epitomizes everything that is wrong with onerous government interventions; corporate cronyism, market distortions, higher prices for vital goods and services, and government dependency.  Also, with food and energy prices at an | Read More »

The Left’s War on Food for Poor Continues

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  February 2nd at 08:09 AM  | 

As we observe the efforts of the left to drive up the cost of food, there is no wonder why so many people are having trouble feeding their families.  Their policies mandating the use of corn as fuel, as well as the inflationary aspects of the Fed’s recent QE2 policies, have kept the cost of food high for a long time.  Now, Obama’s EPA is | Read More »
