SOTU: Jobs & Taxes in America
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 25th at 09:27 AM |
The President doesn’t seem to have a good handle on the full court press it is going to take to bring corporations back to America. He tepidly tried in his SOTU last night, the President spoke on “fair” opportunities for all Americans in his State of the Union address. Yet, it wasn’t fairness of opportunity that he focused on, it was disproportionate taxes that he | Read More »
State of the Union Tonight
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 24th at 07:00 AM |
Tonight, President Obama will address the American people and the American government, laying out his vision for the next year and beyond. There are really four areas that threaten our future. We really aren’t prepared for any of them. We can’t lay the blame at Obama’s feet for how we’ve arrived here, but we can ask him to change course in a positive direction. On | Read More »
Abortion 39 years later: The legacy of Roe v. Wade
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 23rd at 11:13 AM |
Yesterday, was the 39th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to dehumanize unborn babies in the name of giving women the “right to choose.” To choose what? To choose to end the life of their own child. Morally, scientifically, religiously, and emotionally this “choice” has been a sham of epic proportions. It has hurt women in ways that it could never touch the democrat politicians | Read More »
The South Carolina Debate in Review
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 20th at 06:00 AM |
Last night’s CNN debate was feisty. The GOP is strong on most issues but we need to step outside of the echo chamber when necessary. Immigration I realize that no party can provide Hispanics, residing in the US, sanctuary or they will be accused of offering amnesty, but come on! We have to do something about these people living here. They aren’t going home and | Read More »
Obama is a fool
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 19th at 08:52 AM |
Yesterday, Obama decided to turn away jobs and money funneling into our limping economy. I haven’t been one to attack Obama at every turn. His presidency has not been a complete failure. He has succeeded on national defense and other minor issues. But this denial of energy on behalf of the American people through the XL Pipeline could stand to be his most memorable failure | Read More »
Rep. Bob Goodlatte needs to reverse his support of SOPA
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 18th at 08:18 AM |
Many websites are “going dark” today in order to raise awareness of Congress’s Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). With any huge bill there is good stuff and bad and the same can be said of SOPA. But the road to [tyranny] is paved with good intentions. What really has people upset and is pitting Silicon Valley against Hollywood are provisions that allow big business to | Read More »
Attacks on Romney’s Bain are fair game
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 17th at 03:50 PM |
A lot of Romney supporters, rich republicans and “conservatives” who are bracing themselves to throw their support behind Romney are upset about Speaker Gingrich’s attacks on Romney’s business practices while leading Bain Capital. They shouldn’t be upset. Romney put his record into play. We might have be having a different discussion had Romney based his run on all of his wonderful achievements as Governor of | Read More »
Shock: Huntsman to endorse Romney
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 16th at 08:20 AM |
Word is out that Governor Huntsman is dropping his bid for the republican presidential nomination and is set to endorse who else, but Mitt Romney today. I have felt the full spectrum of emotions concerning Huntsman. Early in the election cycle, I wrote a piece titled, “Huntsman is a fraud.” I was ignorant. Huntsman has grown on me a lot. He seems like the kind | Read More »
Under no circumstances should anyone lessen the impact of American soldiers urinating on dead bodies
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 13th at 07:57 AM |
As I write this article this morning, I am appalled by the diary of an imbecile on redstate.com that looks to potentially blunt the impact on the photo released of American soldiers “taking a piss” on deceased bodies of our enemies. In the midst of much historical jargon, he writes: “And to hear the likes of Dame Hillary upbraid our warriors for pissing on a | Read More »
Newt Gingrich is a friend to Dred Scott
By: Griffin@griffinelection (Diary) | January 12th at 09:44 AM |
I was recently debating a friend over the merits of Newt Gingrich’s recent comments that the Supreme Court’s power should be reigned in. We sparred over a Boston Globe article that quoted Abraham Lincoln as stating, “If the policy of the government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court the instant they are made | Read More »
