You Can Call It “Tea Party”, but That Doesn’t Make It Tea Party
I didn’t watch the Presidential debate last night. I even shut down my Twitter feed so I wouldn’t have to spend an hour ranting about it. Oh, I wouldn’t have had a problem with the candidates. I think they’ll all acquit themselves just fine and, if I need to, I’ll read the debate transcript tomorrow [...]
Playing Silly Political Games with Death and Misery
Something very wicked happened in the Republican presidential campaign today, and we on the right should not stand for it. Here is the setup. Most of the candidates attended a debate of sorts today in South Carolina called the Palmetto Freedom Forum, which was headlined by Senator Jim Demint, Rep. Steve King, and the head [...]
Hype, Hype, Hype! He’s the Hypesman…err…Huntsman!
friend, the Lonely Conservative, is puzzled by a question posed by left-wing blogger Steve Benen. Why, they wonder, is Jon Huntsman getting so much press right now? Benen noted that he was scheduled to appear on six national shows in the past two weeks even though he barely appears as a blip on any Presidential [...]
Ed Schultz’s “Big Black Cloud” is a Big Fat Lie
If you’re one of the unfortunate half dozen or so people who watch Ed Schultz’ television show on MS-NBC, you’ll know that he is about as in the bag for the Democratic Party as one can be without actually being in a large burlap sack with the DNC logo printed on it. Normally, he’s the [...]
The Political Trip That’s Not A Political Trip Starring the Community Organizer Who is President
On Friday, the Mouth of Sauron assured us that the President’s three-state bus tour was not at all a campaign trip. I want to quote exactly what he said, if for no other reason than to give you a sense of how outrageous his lie really was. “The fact is that the president is not [...]
RIP Tim Pawlenty’s Campaign, Slain by a Lot of Horrible Advice.
So, the Republican Presidential field is down by one today as Tim Pawlenty, former Governor of Minnesota, has bowed out. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said Sunday that he’s dropping out of the Republican presidential race, just hours after finishing a disappointing third in the Iowa Straw Poll. “We needed to get some lift to [...]
What Did The President Know About Rick Perry and When Did He Know It? Look to the ATM.
I was a little bit surprised at the speed with which the Obama campaign responded to Texas Governor Rick Perry’s formal entry into the 2012 race. Politico has the statement only minutes after Perry’s speech ended, which made me wonder how the President’s people could work so fast. Surely the President’s re-election staff is busy [...]
Perry, Palin, and the Post-Leadership President
It’s official; Texas Governor Rick Perry is in the 2012 Presidential race. He made his announcement today at the Red State Gathering in South Carolina with a rousing speech that was equal part indictment of the poor performance of our current President and unabashed optimism about what America can do in the future. Today, on [...]
