I’m going to keep this post short. Tonight is another debate but it is the first debate in which Newt Gingrich is the clear front-runner for the Republican nomination. Yea, I called Hades they assured me it was not snowing. There are two ads running against Gingrich sponsored by the Iowa Christian group. Now, those of you who know me, know I am not a religious person, | Read More »
I am at a loss for words. I know it’s hard to believe, but I am. Newt Gingrich is surging in the polls and I am stunned. It is possible that people have simply forgotten who is the real Newt Gingrich and are just impressed with his debate performances. I have tried to adhere to Reagan’s 11th commandment: “thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican,” although | Read More »
Again, I was planning on taking a little time off from posting but circumstances are conspiring to make me throw in my two cents. Now, according to our new front-runner, Newt Gingrich, who has proclaimed himself the nominee, he is the most conservative candidate. Interesting article from Bloomberg with a remarkable quote from Gingrich. Here is the most telling part of the article: Newt Gingrich | Read More »
I know. I know. I have not posted in over a week, but it was holiday weekend. Guess what. I wasn’t going to post this week , but sometimes things happen and I have to throw in my two cents. It appears the latest polls have Newt Gingrich firmly in the front-runner spot and now to paraphrase Herman Cain; ” There is a big target on his back.” | Read More »
I am sick of the debates. My only hope after watching this “foreign policy” debate is for my antacid to kick in, bringing me to full strength so I can enjoy my Thanksgiving feast. Last Night was ‘The Ron Paul Show.” I suppose CNN wanted to make up for the lack of coverage he has been receiving and decided to give him time to light up the stage with | Read More »
This is a quick follow-up to my last post. First, I want to thank everyone for the thoughtful responses. Second, I wanted to post a picture of what the electoral college map would look like in a 270 Obama victory. Alas, the best I could do is provide the link to the map I created, here. After looking at the map, COME BACK, I know it is an ugly picture and I hate to | Read More »
There are many on the right who believe if the Republicans nominate a ham sandwich, it will defeat President Obama in 2012. They believe President Obama’s re-election will be a redux of President Carter’s attempt in 1980. President Carter won five states( and DC) in his attempt to be re-elected: Minnesota, West Virginia, Rhode Island and Georgia for a total of 49 electoral college votes. I guarantee President Obama will | Read More »
When the series of debates began, I thought they were fun. But I’m a political junkie. I’m suffering from an overdose. I’m not going to mention the infamous 53 seconds endured by Rick Perry. Okay, maybe not. It can’t go without comment. As I have said numerous times, I don’t like Rick Perry. I never did and I never will, but I never, EVER, wanted to see the | Read More »
In the 1930′s, places like these were called Hoovervilles: Now, in 2011, welcome to Obamaville.
Politics is the art or science of governing. Sounds good, doesn’t it? I learned this definition more years ago than I wish to admit. Campaigns are meant to present voters a clear message as to why a politician’s vision is worthy of their support. Yesterday, was a bad day for the three Republican front-runners. I’ll start with Rick Perry. In case this is unknown, I don’t like Rick Perry. I say | Read More »
