Speaker Boehner: Incompetence on Steroids
With the possible exception of Newt Gingrich, John Boehner just may be the most ineffective Speaker of the House that America has ever seen. Not only has Boehner failed miserably in bringing the various elements of his own Republican Party together, but has become a pariah to the Democrats for his refusal to even consider many of President Obama’s legislative …
Gingrich Calls America Dysfunctional
On Wednesday Newt Gingrich spoke at a press conference at Georgetown University. During his first public appearance since announcing he had dramatically cut back on his presidential campaign, Newt hammered away at the usual themes of how Obama is ruining the country, how the news media is out to get him, and how his Republican opponents have corrupted his “big …
Super-Tuesday: Romney’s Armageddon
The contentious race for the Republican Party’s presidential nominee was far from being resolved by last night’s primary elections in Arizona and Michigan. The razor thin win by Romney in his home state of Michigan clearly indicates that the ultra-conservative, Tea Party wing is not yet willing to give up hopes that one of their own (i.e. Rick Santorum) will …
The National Review Endorses Santorum
In this highly political environment there are no lack of conservative publications, radio talk shows, and television stations attempting to uncover the strengths and weaknesses of the Republican presidential candidates. The most influential, perhaps, of all the conservative publications in the country is The National Review. This is a publication written by staunch conservatives (many of whom are Republican leadership …
Tea Party Will Anoint Santorum as Standard Bearer
The upcoming Republican caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota, along with the non-binding primary in Missouri should determine once and for all who will be anointed as the front-running, “non-Romney” candidate in the GOP. This is not a small issue among the ultra-conservative “Tea Party” wing, who view Romney as a betrayer of core Republican values, and an opportunist that is …
Gingrich Proposes Moon Colony for Middle Class
As a young Navy man, serving duty aboard the U.S.S. Ticonderoga off the coast of Viet Nam in 1969, I’ll never forget the feelings of pride and awe I experienced when told about the landing of two American astronauts on the surface of the Moon. At that time, very few of us questioned why our nation would so feverishly pursue …
Republicans “Eat Crow” on Economic Recovery
Earlier this week President Obama delivered his third State of The Union address to Congress since becoming President in 2009. To his credit, the President’s speech was an upbeat assessment of how much conditions have improved in America since the waning days of the Bush Administration; when the U.S. economy was losing 500,000 jobs per month, and the country was …
GOP Flounders in Mediocracy
After watching the four Republican presidential candidates “duke it out” on stage last night in Tampa, I finally came to the conclusion that a vote for “none of the above” was probably the best course of action. I realize, of course, that primary voters will not really be given the option of selecting “none of the above” on their ballots, …
Romney is Undisputed Republican Heir Apparent
It just seems as if watching the parade of Republican circus clowns, each trying desperately to be more extreme than the other, is rapidly becoming tiresome. There is Mitt Romney, who wants to turn back to the clock to the days of unregulated and unfettered capitalism; then there is Rick Santorum, who wants to turn the country into a theocracy …
The Anomaly of Rick Santorum and the Iowa Caucuses
There were so many shenanigans going on in Iowa that my head was reeling. Who would have thought former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum would play leap-frog over Newt Gingrich? I live in PA and I can tell you, we didn’t like Santorum that much when he was here.
There were questions regarding his residency. Did he live in Penn Hills, PA, …
