Debates, SOTU and Rush Limbaugh are making my head explode
By: tbrickert (Diary) | January 25th at 11:59 AM |
Sometimes the events in the political realm causes this throbbing to occur in my head. Usually it is fine, since these events are fleeting and all I have to do is turn the television off, listen to music, eat a ding-dong and think happy thoughts. The events of the last 10 days have managed to create a constant throbbing that even music by the Marconi Union cannot soothe. Let us start with the two South | Read More »

Newt approved of Romneycare
By: tbrickert (Diary) | December 27th at 09:02 AM |
A memo has come out dated April 2006 that Newt Gingrich wrote for the Center of Health Transformation. In this memo he sang the praises for the Massachusetts health plan from “Newt’s Note:” The most exciting development of the past few weeks is what has been happening up in Massachusetts. The health bill that Governor Romney signed into law this month has tremendous potential to effect major change | Read More »

Latest Iowa poll has Gingrich at 22% and Paul at 21% perhaps ads like this have something to do with it:
Newt’s Baggage
By: tbrickert (Diary) | December 10th at 09:11 AM |
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 »
Gingrich. Really?
By: tbrickert (Diary) | December 6th at 09:41 AM |
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 »
Newt Gingrich and Government Sponsored Enterprise
By: tbrickert (Diary) | December 2nd at 12:00 PM |
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 »
Ron Paul hits Newt

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 »
The Best Debate
By: tbrickert (Diary) | October 12th at 09:45 AM |
Last night’s debate in New Hampshire was perhaps the best debate yet, unfortunately it was on the less watched Bloomberg channel. Every candidate had their moment in this debate, but in the end it was Mitt Romney who was in command of the evening. Now that Herman Cain is considered a top-tier candidate he is receiving the scrutiny that comes with the territory. His 9-9-9 plan | Read More »

Mitt Romney at the Citadel
By: tbrickert (Diary) | October 8th at 10:07 AM |
Yesterday, while Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich addressed the Values Voter Summit, Mitt Romney introduced his foreign policy agenda at the Citadel. While Herman Cain “provoked church like Yeah! from the crowd” and Newt Gingrich addressed an emptying room, as both conducted book signings, Mitt Romney addressed our country’s future defenders: It’s a great honor to be in South Carolina, where | Read More »
