The Romney campaign demanded an apology from Obama concerning Stephanie Cutter’s comments that Romney was a felon “He’s not going to get an apology,” Cutter said Sunday of CBS’ “Face the Nation. So that’s the way this campaign’s gonna be: another 4 months of lies, deception, and misinformation Chicago-style (not that we expected anything else for Obama and Co.). And I won’t even hit on | Read More »
Let me start off with the disclaimer that I am not a Paulite (not a synonym for libertarian) or a Romney supporter (meaning that I am not enthused about Romney). But the blight known as Ron Paul is a cancer on the Republican Party. Ordinarily we laugh at Ron Paul and his fanatical followers as a bunch of loons on par with cooked vegetables and | Read More »
To fellow (ex)ABR supporters: Yeah, the ABR Candidate (Pawlenty/Perry/Bachmann/Cain/Newt/Santorum) lost. The voters (in their ‘wisdom’) selected Romney for the GOP nominee. GET OVER IT!!!!! Whining for things that are not does not help rid this country of the blight that is Obama and his cronies. I intend to vote for Romney, but I will now focus on getting conservative candidates into the US House and | Read More »
Let’s face it, there is no shining white knight of conservatism in this presidential race. Besides the Obama administration, we have a third enemy: the GOP establishment (namely, Boehner and McConnell). Both have proven that they are more interested in preserving their own power and status by taking the safe and easy route instead of pursuing bold solutions. However, they are so short-sighted that they | Read More »
Open thread for ABC GOP debate
For those who are watching the GOP Primary CBS debate….
What follows is a short account of the veterans in my family and friends. As they are dead or back East, I have to write a short blurb to recognize and thank them for their service to our country. To my ancestor who fought in World War One and brought back a cloth German Pickelhaube that decorates the family mantle. My great-uncle Robert was a | Read More »
Apoll conducted about three weeks ago put Rick Perry over Obama 46% to 42% in Wisconsin while Obama beats every other candidate by at least 4 points. The sample size was only 500 (I’d really love more current numbers with a larger sample size), but this got me wondering: Why does Wisconsin, a moderate blue state at best (Obama carried it 56% to 44% over | Read More »
Post all musings and comments here for the Cain/Gingrich debate.
I came into this election Howard Bealesque because your “god” has royally screwed up this country, and his sycophants (read: you all) try to convince the rest of us that everything is peachy. Your treatment of Herman Cain has made me extremely mad. I do not condone his actions (true or not), but I detest and despise the fact that you take great joy in | Read More »
Please note: I’m wanting rational thought, not Perry-bashing. I know that you all aren’t heartless; prove you’re not headless as well. 1) Why will Herman Cain not endorse Rick Perry against Obama, even when Mitt Romney will endorse the GOP nominee? 2) Why can’t Herman Cain give a clear answer on anything (despite his no BS clarity? – Abortion (yes, I know he’s pro-life, but | Read More »
In the beginning, I came into the 2012 GOP presidential season ready to get rid of Obama but the candidates were unknowns, slightly nuts, perpetually running for president, or Ron Paul; people that I didn’t know could make it to the Oval Office, or who didn’t need to. At the debate in Iowa, I thought that everyone was basically mouthing conservative shibboleths (when Newt | Read More »
Although bipartisanship and compromise in Washington seems to be defined as Republicans agreeing to eat and enjoy the crap sandwich that the Democrats put together, I believe that this particular arrangement is advantageous to taking another step on the road out of the financial mire. I am working under the premise, however, that the Committee is constitutionally prohibited from raising taxes (or more precisely, revenue). | Read More »
Yet more violence from those racist Tea Partiers peace-loving, tolerant Democrats and their constituents. The video documents the incident, but I will sum it up. 1) The event occurs at a PUBLIC FORUM. The moderator asks that all filming cease. The cameraman continues to film. 2) Someone tells the cameraman to stop filming. When refused on the grounds that he is exercising 1st Amendment rights | Read More »
In reaction to the passage of the new financial reform bill, the credit ratings agencies of Moody’s, Fitch Group, and Standard & Poor’s are evaluating their liability. According to the Wall Street Journal, some bond markets have shutdown in response to this statement. Why is this important? …some bonds, notably those that are made up of consumer loans, are required by law to include ratings | Read More »
Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano are not just ignorant of the contents of the Arizona immigration law, but apparently have not looked at a White House position outlined under George Bush in 2005 (and not redacted by the Obama administration, BTW) The memo concludes that (1) States have inherent power, subject to federal preemption, to make arrests for violations of federal law. (2) Because it | Read More »
Sky News gives an account of yet another state-run healthcare nightmare. Neglect of an elderly pneumonia patient lead to death from a “non-life threatening” condition, according to his daughter; besides not monitoring his condition, the nurses refused to give him water since he had “knocked over a cup” during his stay. The British NHS hospital apologized for this incident, saying “The trust believes that Mr | Read More »
Attorney General Edmondson has released the following statement about calls for Oklahoma to join 14 other states filing suit against Obamacare: “We have yet to determine if Oklahoma will file a lawsuit over the federal health care legislation. I simply believe a thoughtful and thorough legal analysis of the constitutional issues is preferable to a rush to the courthouse. We’re essentially aiming at a moving | Read More »
Since learning that their music was used at high volumes to induce terrorists to cooperate with the US, groups such as Nine Inch Long Nails, R.E.M, Rosanne Cash, Rage Against the Machine, and Pearl Jam are filing FOIAs with the DoD and supporting the closure of Gitmo. REM issued a statement: “We have spent the past 30 years supporting causes related to peace and justice | Read More »
Obama has given the Commerce Department the ability to approve missile and space technology sales to China. This incident is worse than Clinton ( never mind that 3 people in the article are quoted saying “This is a very bad idea”) in the following ways: 1) Obama has the hindsight benefit of Clinton’s history. 2) According to the 1999 National Defense Authorization Act, Section 1512 | Read More »
