This is sick: RUSSELLVILLE—On the heels of a weekend of positive news coverage for the campaign of Democratic Congressional candidate Ken Aden, Aden’s campaign manager returned home to find his family pet slaughtered, with the word “liberal” painted on the animal’s corpse. The Russellville Police Department is investigating, and a report will be made to the Federal Bureau of Investigation … Read More
Who Would Obama Rather Run Against: Newt or Mitt?
Answer: Mitt First of all, Romney is a weak campaigner, as evidenced by his inability these past several months to "close the deal" with Republican voters. Rhetorically, Obama can run rings around Mitt. Secondly, Obama (and I mean, campaign-mode Obama) can still inspire, whereas Mitt cannot, even among his most ardent supporters. Thirdly, there is a populist movement — which … Read More
Last Night’s Debate
First of all, Santorum won. The media is saying this morning that Gingrich won it in the first five minutes, but he didn't. Santorum won, and I'll explain why shortly. But let's talk about Newt's first five minutes. Yesterday, there was breaking news about Newt's second wife, who told ABC that Newt, in the midst of his affair with the … Read More
Newt’s “Dirty Secret”
As mentioned below, GOP candidate Newt Gingrich's ex-wife (Marianne Gingrich) has given an interview to ABC news in which (she has alleged) will totally sing Gingrich's campaign. Oooooh. Just what "goods" does she have on Newt? Apparently, he wanted to have an "open marriage" — i.e., have his wife (Marianne) and his mistress (Calista, to whom Newt is now married). … Read More
Perry’s Out & Other Tidbits
According to sources…. … oh, and rather than losing to Romney by 8 votes in Iowa, Rick Santorum actually won there by 34 votes … oh, and Marianne Gingritch, who once boasted that she could end her ex-husband's campaign with a single interview, has sat down for a two-hour interview with ABC… to be aired Monday (after South Carolina). I … Read More
When Can You Start Crediting (Blaming) Obama For Jobs?
Steve Benen makes a great point which everyone needs to keep in mind this election season: Consider a thought experiment. Imagine you could go back to March 1, 2009, when the global economy is on the brink of collapse. The White House's Recovery Act had just been signed into law, but the investments hadn't even begun, and President Obama, still … Read More
Perry Needs To Bow Out
I still maintain that this is Romney's nomination. The only chance that it is not is a slim one, and requires that two of the three conservatives bow out and unite behind the third (those three conservatives are Gingrich, Santorum and Perry). If this is going to be an at-all interesting race, Perry needs to get the ball rolling by … Read More
Romney Admits His Effective Tax Rate Is About 15%
That's a lot lower than most American families. And remember… when President Obama suggested the “Buffett rule,” aimed at ensuring that millionaires can’t pay lower taxes than middle class families, Romney derided it as “class warfare,” and “the wrong way to go.” Now we know why. You're going to be hearing about this 15% for the next few days.
The Tebow Endorsement
Pathetic: Tim Tebow is already the hottest property in professional sports, and now Republican presidential candidates are lining up for the blessing of the Denver Broncos quarterback. The “Mile High Messiah” told The Associated Press on Sunday that more than one of the GOP hopefuls has asked for his public support. He declined their offers, and also wouldn’t tell the AP which … Read More
Getting Interesting
The bash on Romney about the former governor's private-sector background at Bain Capital – primarily coming from Gingritch and Perry — is actually having an impact in the vital state of South Carolina: Despite a historic sweep of the first two nominating contests in the GOP field, Mitt Romney holds just a two percentage point lead in South Carolina, his smallest … Read More
GOP Debates and A Look Ahead
I watched the GOP debate on Saturday night, and heard some of their debate held on Sunday morning. And I have to say… even when serious, they are all serious douchebags. It was seriously disturbing, and most distrubing of all was the frontrunner, Mitt Romney. His doubletalk was in full force, especially when it came to the issues of privacy/abortion, … Read More
The Obama Scandal You Haven’t Heard About Yet
The lamestream media is trying its best to keep this hidden from we the people. But it's only a matter of time before this story gets full-blown coverage, and takes down the current administration: Two former participants in the CIA’s Mars visitation program of the early 1980’s have confirmed that U.S. President Barack H. Obama was enrolled in their Mars training class … Read More
Racist Statement of the Day
Newt Gingrich, campaigning in New Hampshire today: "I will go to the NAACP convention, and explain to the African-American community why they should demand paychecks instead of food stamps" Right. Because only the black people are on food stamps.
The Obama Campaign Awakens
With the recess appointment of Richard Cordray to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (after the GOP minority in the Senate essentially filibustered the appointment), it's clear that the Obama campaign is awake and feisty. Mitt Romney responded to the appointment with hyperbole: President Obama’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is perhaps the most powerful and unaccountable bureaucracy in the history of our … Read More
