We'll to those who seem to think that somehow replacing the Obama administration with a Republican one will somehow, as if… Read full post »

I always find it galling when I see some who, in their pursuit of maligning and belittling Barck Obama, actually come across as rooting against America. A great example of that is the practice of always trying to undermine good employment news by focusing on the numbers of people who have droppe… Read full post »

Well there you have it, another onetime Tea Party favorite has dropped out of the 2012 race to be America’s president thereby shrinking the field of “viable” candidates that a Tea Party true believer could vote for this coming November. In fact one should even ask the question of wh… Read full post »

Tonight's outcome in New Hampshire represents a significant setback for the fortunes of the Tea Party movement along with the rest of the radical right as Republican moderates have captured the bulk of the votes cast in the contest. When you combine Romney's take with th… Read full post »

It's an interesting fact that Mitt Romney, after outspending both Ron Paul and Rick Santorum and the rest of the Republican field by millions of dollars, can't seem to break out above a ceiling of around a quarter of the conservative base. Pollster John Zogby and others have made this… Read full post »

Well there you have it, one of the Tea Party's own heroines, Michelle Bachmann has finally seen the light on her flawed and floundering pretense of a campaign for the American presidency. Quoting Bachmann: "I have decided to stand aside... I have no regrets, none whatsoever. We never compromised… Read full post »

One would think that former Iowa Congressman Fred Grandy (R-IA) would be a welcomed addition to Newt Gingrich’s field of supporters, however when you look deeper into the antics of Grandy you’d probably think otherwise. Newt’s New Endorser: OWS is a Muslim Brotherhood Plot!; ht… Read full post »

Well there you have it the Herman Cain debacle is now officially semi-complete . But in reality Cain's hopes to be president are now thoroughly at an end, campaign spin notwithstanding. "Herman Cain Suspending 2012 Campaign for President"  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011… Read full post »

In the run up to the 2010 elections and in the aftermath, I theorized that the net effect of the Tea Party on the Republican Party and American politics in general, would be negative. Like many others, I detailed the turn in the tide in the movement's popularity in "The Fading Allure… Read full post »

It has been a constant refrain emanating from the right, that there's too much regulation in the American economy and that its stifling growth and job creation. Well, I will be the first to say that where we find unneeded regulation, outdated regulation or poorly conceived regulation we should e… Read full post »

Ya gotta laugh at the strenuous attempts that where made last week trying to defend or legitimize Foxs' Megyn Kelly's ridiculous claim that after all pepper spray is "food product, essentially."
 
Well if a picture is worth a thousand words how much do you think this old woman enjoyed her exp… Read full post »

Now correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the Tea Party crowd supposed to come to Washington and do away with things like business as usual, excessive and wasteful government spending ad infinitum? I guess if you can grab some loot from those same interest groups that the Tea Party has be… Read full post »

By now you've probably heard of the organization called Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength. They are patriotic Americans who know that they have accumulated the wealth that they have as a result of the uniqueness of the American system and they now want folks like themselves to help the syste… Read full post »

Like most of the anti-Romney contenders thus far, Newt Gingrich's sudden rise in the polls could be short lived just like that of Bachmann, Perry, Cain, etc. You see Gingrich's past, a past that is filled with questionable and odious events, seems like it is about to catch up with him… Read full post »
