Remember that famous saying from the Vietnam War? It seems that Mitt Romney has taken up a similar philosophy as he does whatever it takes to scrape out a win. Unfortunately, Mitt probably didn’t hear the phrase in Vietnam, as he avoided the draft and spent most of those defining years in a mansion in Paris, but they encapsulate […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Remember the movie, Gangs of New York? Too bloody, too violent? No doubt, but Daniel Day Lewis’ performance is oddly familiar, the vacant eyes, the viciousness, the “do whatever it takes to get ahead” attitude reminds me so much of Mitt Romney this week. I heard on Face the Nation this morning that Mitt Romney […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
That’s great but you can be sure Republicans will dismiss it. Why are they so darn negative? Beats me. Now if only the corporations sitting on trillions of dollars in cash see fit to hire a few American workers, we’ll be in an even better position.
Erick Erickson, the Republican blogger who runs RedState.com, has officially thrown down the gauntlet when it comes to Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. Erickson’s view is that these are two deeply flawed candidates who will lose in November and the Republicans better find someone else fast. Perhaps, just perhaps, it is time for both sides to let […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Mitt Romney earned 21.7 million dollars last year which isn’t bad for being unemployed. The shocking part of it is that he paid less taxes than just about everyone else in America. He certainly paid less than President Obama. The president paid 25 percent of his gross income in federal tax, compared to Romney’s 13.7 percent. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It appears that South Carolina is partly responsible for blowing up the tracks. On Saturday, GOP voters threw their support to Newton Gingrich and sent a strong message that Mitt Romney is not their kind of guy. Whether it was because of Newt’s record as a draft dodger it is not known. Were South Carolinian Republicans voting […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
An angry South Carolina audience appeared to annoit the even angrier Newt Gingrich as winner of Thursday’s Republican presidential debate. Gingrich’s red-faced bluster hit just the right chord with the red meat seeking crowd. Newt has done very well this week, making debate moderators Juan Williams and John King cry. Bully for you Newt. Former prosecutor Rick […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s almost too gruesome to watch. Rick Perry became the latest casualty in the debacle that is known as the Republican presidential race. Although Perry had secured the votes of a couple of South Carolinians, he answered the call to drop out by… well, by just about everyone with a weak stomach. Rick Santorum came out […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When it’s going to mega-millions Mitt Romney. Poor Mitt, hauling in over a third of a million dollars by giving a few speeches barely registers on his bank account. Maybe someone better pass around the collection basket, oh wait, he did earn millions just on the interest of his half billion dollar nest egg. One person calling Mitt […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We all know how many jobs have been lost over the last two decades by corporations relocating jobs offshore to countries overseas where labor is cheaper and regulations are virtually nonexistent. Unfortunately, American tax policies have sometimes rewarded corporations for outsourcing jobs. President Obama announced last week that he will change these tax codes and work with business leaders to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Jon Huntsman has decided to drop out of the Republican presidential race and endorse Mitt Romney; Although Huntsman was only polling at about 5 percent in South Carolina, his voters are most likely to wind up with Romney. If either Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum makes a run at the frontrunner in the final week, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
An email recently sent by Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal (R-Hutchinson) to his Republican colleagues appears to endorse a controversial prayer that some say calls for the untimely death of President Obama. “Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8.” That’s the slogan an email from O’Neal refers to, a phrase that’s become popular in some circles on […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

For the most part, Republicans are wealthier, suffer less crime, have better health care, better jobs, etc., so the question needs to be asked; why are they so darn mean? I’m not talking about hate media Republicans, people like Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, and the rest, who’ve made a fortune out of ridiculing and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Romney showed up relaxed in shirtsleeves Monday at a town-hall meeting in Hudson, N.H., but found himself answering a barrage of questions from the press about a controversy he sparked earlier in the day when he told the Nashua Chamber of Commerce, “I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. If […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Have you heard of the Bain Bomb? Well you’re about to because Republicans are getting ready to throw it. Basically, it’s the idea that Mitt Romney “looted companies” and threw people out of work while working at Bain Capital. Politico has the story. Newt Gingrich, fresh off accusing Romney of “looting” companies, is about to see […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Gingrich Assails Millionaire Republicans Buyng Their Way Into Office
on January 8th, 2012 at 11:34 pm“We are drifting into a society where millionaires buy office, and it’s very dangerous,” the former speaker continued. “And I think when Mayor Bloomberg basically bought the mayorship, he drowned his potential opponents — he spent hundreds of dollars per vote. Now that’s just wrong.” The comment was evidently aimed at Romney, who has poured […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A Las Vegas billionaire has contributed $5 million to an independent group backing Newt Gingrich, breathing new life into the former House Speaker’s struggling campaign for the GOP presidential nomination and casting renewed attention on the role of such groups in the 2012 contest. A person familiar with the development said Sheldon Adelson, a casino […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Finishing a close second to Mitt Romney in Iowa, Rick Santorum took aim on the former governor of Taxachusettes. “Gov. Romney has raised fees. If you’re a Granite Stater and working down in Massachusetts, the costs under Romney went up about $500 a year based on tax increases that he imposed on the people here […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If you thought watching Republicants fight with President Obama all year was discouraging, then the next year doesn’t look any more pleasant. A year to the day since Ohio’s John Boehner and 87 eager freshmen took Washington by storm, House Republicans are bruised from battle, irritated with each other and have lost trust in their […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Despite being under investigation in Great Britain for illegal activities, Australian media titan and the owner of Fox News Rupert Murdoch is still trying to influence the American political system. Besides pushing Rick Santorum on his private news channel the last few weeks, Murdoch came out one day before the Iowa caucus to publicly announce his support […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“I don’t want to fight a war that’s unconstitutional, and I’m the dangerous person? You know, when Newt Gingrich was called to service in the 1960s during the Vietnam era, guess what he thought about danger? He chickened out on that, he got deferments and didn’t even go.”
