How to appeal to an electorate ignorant of how the America of the founding created historic wealth for over 200 years, never consciously saw themselves connected to the risk-taking entrepreneurs, never were so connected, or have given up on a return to striving for their old American dreams after the massive job losses of the past five years? Given narrow electoral margins in a few | Read More »
Hurricane Sandy washed out the New York City Marathon after Mayor Bloomberg realized it could turn into a contact sport. Some think it also ended “Mitt-mentum”, a media-created phenomenon meant to paper over any suggestion that election results ever reflect the rejection of failed liberal economic policies by the populace. But Cockstradamus saw Hurricane Republican coming many moons ago, before any supposed game-changing October 3rd, | Read More »
Republican nominee would restore a foreign policy informed by a commitment to American exceptionalism, albeit one that would not entail interventions abroad absent vital American interests nor any long-term occupations of foreign lands. It wasn’t necessary for Mitt Romney to play Dostoevsky’s Grand Inquisitor to Barack Obama as Shakespeare’s King Lear in the last presidential election debate, especially with Bob Scheiffer as an older Candy Crowley on | Read More »
Remember those conservatives during the Republican presidential primaries that thought Romneycare would prevent Mitt from being able to take on Obamacare? I do. I was one of them. We were wrong. Rarely have we had a true back and forth debate between presidential candidates of opposing parties like we did last night. Thanks to Mitt Romney’s initiative and Jim Lehrer’s wisdom to let it flow, and to Hades | Read More »
Limousine liberals and government workers for Obama are not among The 47% Who knew that private political fundraisers produce bitter clinger identifications across the political spectrum? Famously during the 2008 presidential campaign, thanks solely to conservative media, Barack Obama was revealed to have identified Democratic primary voters for Hillary in Pennsylvania as racist, religious gun nuts. Last May, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, in a | Read More »
Sounds about right which makes Mitt the GOP’s best nominee since Reagan and toughest on Democrats ever This former Democrat has lived to drive a stake through the place a heart would normally be on the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness blood-sucking vampire that is my former party since my Summer of 2001 conservative epiphany. I know how rotten is the smell of the | Read More »
No problem is ever solved and unless Republicans vote for the next bill the Democratic Party introduces, they are racist-sexist-homophobe-bigots that care not for the poor and disabled It appears that Mitt Romney has learned a Rush Limbaugh lesson that also answers the question posed by the Andrea True disco song’s chorus: More, more, more How do you like it, how do you like it More, more, | Read More »
Former Secretary of State’s mere presence on the GOP ticket trumps the race and other Democratic Party identity politics’ cards The rumors are out there, and this conservative hopes they are true. Condoleezza Rice as the vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party utterly refutes the narrative by which the Democratic Party attempts to justify its very existence. Yes, Dr. Rice has made statements sympathetic to the pro-abortion | Read More »
Finally, a Republican has the guts to make a moral case against Democratic Party economic policies Significantly on the day before President Barack Obama made the defining statement of his presidency that the ”private sector is doing fine”, Mitt Romney became the first GOP presidential nominee in memory to eschew the usual, non-judgmental, Republican line against the economic policies of our “honorable friends on the other side of the | Read More »
Conservative Republican policies work best for the poor, middle class and Liberty-based happiness pursuits for all An exchange with a close friend, self-described as a “bleeding heart” who is “sure” President Barack Obama will be re-elected, inspired the eponymous section of this column discussed further below, but first let’s address concerns of conservatives who delivered the historic 2010 GOP mid-term election landslide that may be | Read More »
The biggest story of the day that no one is covering occurred in the closing few minutes of today’s Rush Limbaugh program. El Rushbo says Romney has a Polkian-conservative core: RUSH: Folks, I must be honest with you. I hear this all the time from people about Romney, and I know him and I’ve talked to him. He came here and he sat down and he | Read More »
Any of these Republicans would deny Obama re-election The view from this South Carolina gamecock’s Stone Mountain of Georgia roost sees Newt Gingrich winning from whence he made conservative Republican history, second only to Ronaldus Maxus. DeVine Law dictated this Southern Baptist’s vote for the young Catholic, while my long-time, part-time, lifetime-Democrat girlfriend will be casting an anti-religious bigotry vote for the savior of the Salt Lake City Olympics | Read More »
Red meat that both Romney and the base can eat on the way to the crucial selection of who will wield federal executive power Would you re-visit a barber, in a town with other barbers available, that you had initially hired for a trim around the edges but who instead shaved your head, merely because your pate was technically “improving” due to ongoing natural growth | Read More »
Caring for the poor is always defined by support for the latest Democratic Party proposal During my teen and young adult Democratic Party activism years in the 70s and 80s, the number one scare tactic used by the party to scare widows and orphans, i.e. the poor, was their claim that if Republicans controlled the government, they would “take away your checks”. Ronald Reagan, famously | Read More »
Mitt Romney’s attack on Gingrich for alleged lobbying prompts full-throated defense of Bush Medicare reform Tea partier criticism of President George W. Bush and the early 2000s’ Republican Congress as oxymoronic “big government” conservatives have always focused on his signature No Child Left Behind education accountability reforms and the addition of coverage for Rx drugs via Medicare Part D. Then Senator Rick Santorum voted for | Read More »
Our native state teaches the GOP and its now Stone Mountain of Georgia-roosted gamecock a lesson: Newt is acceptable to tea partier conservatives Mike DeVine Law Gamecock is humbled. That so many voters that have earned my respect for so many years have chosen to support Newt Gingrich over Mitt Romney convinces me that Mitt is not so much better than Newt, that a vote | Read More »
Babe Ruth’s homers were prodigious but Hank Aaron hit more I well remember the good old days, way back in 2011, when Mitt Romney was lauded for being the great debater among those boys (and Michelle Bachmann) of Summer. Thus is the ephemeral nature of debate moments and home runs; much as was the hope for a tea partier conservative GOP presidential nominee. Winter and | Read More »
Palmetto State poised for pragmatic pick over preening vulture anti-capitalists South Carolinians have seen too many shuttered textile plants never visited by Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital to fall for Newt-Perry slurs that blame the buyers of companies already failing due to the internal policies of the sellers or external policies of governments. Vultures eat the dead. Bain, under Romney, saved jobs worth saving in the private | Read More »
Mitt’s free market capitalism brand is the best bet to drink at an Obama re-election denial tea party The depths of Great Depression II and the historic 2010 tea partier conservative-driven Republican Party mid-term landslide encouraged dreams of a Reagan-like 2012 GOP nominee to retire President Barack Obama to a resumption of his autobiographical writing career. The crashing sounds of Bachmann’s looseness with the facts, Cain’s knowledge gaps | Read More »
[A post-Florida Gator-devouring USC gamecock's Stone Mountain of Georgia roost-view of his undergrad alma mater, Wofford College and Spartanburg hometown's hosting of the South Carolina, CBS/National Journal, Republican Party presidential debate] Let the Big Dog eat! The motto of Wofford Terriers’ (pictured) sports teams is “Let the Big Dog eat!”, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich looked like the Big Dog eating away at GOP | Read More »
