In an appearance on CNN today, Mitt Romney said the following: “I’m in this race cause I care about Americans. I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I’ll fix it. I’m not concerned about the very rich. They’re doing just fine. I’m concerned about the [...]
Saturday night’s Gingrich-Cain debate in Texas was a departure from the typical debates of the past few weeks. During a 90-minute session, the candidates addressed the topics of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, articulating the depth of their ideas without absurd time restraints that usually leave viewers with too many unanswered questions. Gingrich and Cain [...]
In last night’s CNN debate, Herman Cain once again defined himself as a businessman, not a politician, declaring in his introduction that “I solve problems for a living.” Cain has continued to rise significantly in the polls. Monday’s Rasmussen Reports survey showed him with a 43-41 percent lead over President Obama and a Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage poll [...]
Last night’s Bloomberg-Washington Post GOP debate was perhaps the best one yet for many reasons. First, it focused on the topic at the forefront of every American’s mind: the economy. Second, it featured an interesting round in which the moderator allowed candidates to ask each other questions. Most importantly, it showcased the fact that many [...]
Sarah Palin hit the stage in Indianola, Iowa this afternoon to keynote the Tea Party of America’s “Restoring America” rally. And she certainly pulled no punches. Palin took on President Obama’s failed policies and proclivity toward crony capitalism, stood firm in her support for tea party principles and rekindled the 2008 RNC speech she gave [...]
As President Downgrade proceeds with his fundraising, fiestas and blame game, GOP presidential candidates will take the stage tonight at the Fox News Iowa debate. At this critical point in our country’s history, it’s time to toss out the platitudes and talking points. GOP contenders, here is what Americans need to see and hear from [...]
The question that hit my email inbox repeatedly yesterday was: “What do you think of the Boehner plan?” Truthfully, I’m not impressed. In my humble opinion, it reflects an inability and unwillingness on the part of GOP leadership to dig in their heels and stand firm on principle. It reflects a refusal to go above [...]
I spend quite a bit of time calling out some on the left. I detest big-government policies that simultaneously snatch our liberty and rob us blind. I find class warfare to be profoundly un-American. I have no patience for leftists who demand civility while spewing hateful rhetoric, or those who insist that feminism, diversity, and [...]
With all of the infighting in the Republican Party, how can a non-political junkie decide who the right candidate is? If I were Obama, I would keep my mouth shut and let the other side self-destruct. Why can’t they just concentrate on Obama’s record and stand together? – Ben While I agree that some political [...]
The United States is over $14 trillion in debt. The AP reported in March that, “The federal government’s budget deficit grew by $222.5 billion in February, the largest one-month increase in history. Economists are forecasting the deficit for the year will be the biggest imbalance on record.” So, am I popping the cork on the [...]
