It would not be the first time Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post’s supposed scribe of the conservative movement, has taken liberty to smear social conservatives she loathes. It seems this time she’s being a willing mouth piece for Richard Grenell, the jerk Mitt Romney hired as a foreign policy spokesman. And let’s put heavy emphasis on the jerk part as Rubin does not even bother | Read More »
Prepare yourselves, I am going to write something semi positive about policies that the Romney campaign happens to espouse today, at this hour*. Today the Romney Campaign is rolling out their new tax plan. Tonight could be a great night for Romney in the debate. While Santorum may get lost in the weeds and off message with the social issues, Romney will be making a | Read More »

Why alleged political pundits would worry about Beck’s show I haven’t any idea. He’s an entertainer with a significant business, they aren’t. In the interests of full disclosure | Read More »
I have known Jennifer Rubin for a while and really like her, but I am terribly befuddled about her Washington Post blog “Right Turn.” It has descended into advocacy of getting the traitor Jonathan Pollard out of prison.
