Why Mitt Romney will NOT be President
By: kmpesq (Diary) | October 19th at 02:33 PM |
At the outset, I would be remiss if I did not disclose that I voted for Mitt Romney in the NJ primary in 2008. Generally, I think that Romney is probably a decent guy, with a good moral compass. I’m also convinced that he probably knows more about the economy than any of the other GOP presidential candidates. That said, after last night’s debate, I | Read More »
The Game has Changed
By: kmpesq (Diary) | October 7th at 10:04 AM |
Last night, Harry Reid changed the game, or at least the motivation behind the game. As many of you know, Reid invoked the nuclear option in the Senate, doing away with the filibuster. It is now imperative, more than ever, that we elect a conservative majority to the Senate in 2012. By changing the rules, preventing amendments after a filibuster, Harry Reid has broken the | Read More »
Steve Jobs and an Ode to Entrepreneurialism
By: kmpesq (Diary) | October 6th at 10:52 AM |
Yesterday, Steve Jobs passed away. Despite his liberal tendencies, Jobs exemplified that most basic of conservative tenets…that being a profound belief in the power of the individual entrepreneur to make America better. As most of us know, Jobs started Apple in his garage in the mid-1970′s. Prior to that, he took advantage of any opportunity to learn and master his craft: working for Atari, attending | Read More »
This Crap Has to Stop
By: kmpesq (Diary) | September 29th at 12:16 PM |
Politics has been called the most brutal of bloodsports. Much like those of us who follow the NFL, MLB, NCAA or any other sport, we all have our favorite teams and root really hard for them to win. When they win, we’re elated and when they lose, we’re a bit dejected. Also, with our favorite teams, we often adopt the posture that we’re allowed to | Read More »
Why I Hope Sarah Palin Runs for President
By: kmpesq (Diary) | September 22nd at 06:55 PM |
In reading the blogs and news sites, there seems to be a buzz that, in deed, Sarah Palin is going to run for President. While I do not know if I would ultimately support her in the primary process, I do hope that the rumblings are true and that Gov. Palin gets into this race. I used to think Gov. Palin would best serve this | Read More »
Cain is in the Game; Pawlenty tried to play is safe
By: kmpesq (Diary) | May 5th at 11:43 PM |
Tonight was the official beginning of the 2012 Republican Presidential Primary. The debate in Greenville, SC was very enlightening and surprisingly entertaining. The following are my thoughts on each candidate: Herman Cain: He clearly won the debate. In every primary, a candidate emerges that no one knew before. In 2008, for example, it was Mike Huckabee. In this campaign, Herman Cain appears to be that | Read More »
Does Anyone Else Think Trump is a Scam?
By: kmpesq (Diary) | April 26th at 10:25 PM |
During the 2010 Campaign, the Left put forth a phony Tea Party candidate in an attempt to divert votes away from Rep. Jon Runyan in his race against former Rep. John Adler in New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District. The attempt failed, but as we know from our experience with Liberals, they never give up after failing. Fast forward to the current crop of potential Republican Presidential Primary | Read More »
Giving the Devil His Due
By: kmpesq (Diary) | March 21st at 10:37 PM |
The Constitution of the United States gives the President of the United States the power to command the military forces of the United States. Whether we like who is in the White House or not, every President has the Constitutional right to use the armed forces to protect our country and advance the national interests. When President Bush made the decision to remove Saddam Hussein | Read More »
Leadership
By: kmpesq (Diary) | March 20th at 02:52 AM |
Throughout our history, when things have looked bleakest, leaders emerged to inspire the American People to action and victory over whatever adversary we faced. In our nation’s infancy, when defeat was but a loss away, General Washington summoned all of his courage and led his troops to victory, ensuring that our nation would be free. When our nation was fractured over the issue of slavery, | Read More »
Profiles in Cowardice: Mitch Daniels
By: kmpesq (Diary) | February 23rd at 08:40 PM |
In our next Republican nominee for President, I am looking to support someone who has the courage to stand up and fight when the moment calls for it. George W. Bush, when faced with Islamic Terrorists, stood up and fought. Ronald Reagan, when facing the Soviet Union, stood up and fought. Hell, when Roosevelt and Churchill were faced with Naziism, they stood together and fought. | Read More »
