The biggest surprise of the vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan wasn’t how much Vice-President Biden dominated on foreign policy, but rather, how inept Paul Ryan was at economic policy.

on March 21st, 2012 at 10:06 pm

That’s reading between the lines but I don’t think you’d get an argument from Dallas-based right wing billionaire Harold Simmons.

on March 1st, 2012 at 10:35 am

Last night on the Charlie Rose Show, Republican political consultant Mike Murphygave Mitt Romney some advice. Murphy said the cold, aloof, gaff-prone Romney should embrace the image that most Americans have of him, that of being “a rich, Wall Street shark.” Former Republican consultant Matthew Dowd agreed. Romney should get out of the jeans and stop trying to relate […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
