The Reverend Santorum’s Truth Impairment
It seems as if Rick Santorum‘s reputation for being autocratic and humorless is really starting to show itself on the campaign trail. In fact, the Reverend Rick has even begun using salty language toward the mainstream media, whom he perceives as liberal, self-serving and controlled by evil, lying pundits. These days, Santorum is pushing forward with a one-man crusade to …
Tea Party Bravado Results in Mitt Romney
Many Americans who have watched the drama of the Republican presidential primaries unfold have been astounded by the total lack of enthusiasm among the electorate. Simply stated, the prospect of Mitt Romney becoming the inevitable nominee has left the majority of Republicans disgusted and disenfranchised. Many of the GOP faithful feel that Romney has been foisted on them by the …
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 …
Tea Party Will Crash and Burn With Santorum
During this particular time in the primary “election cycle”, the Republican and Democratic Party front-runners usually step forward to stake a claim to their party’s presidential nomination. This time around, however, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are both claiming to be the Republican candidate best suited to take on Barack Obama in the November election. The battle for supremacy between …
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 …
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, …
Iowans Will Soon Cull the Republican Herd
With only one day left before the highly-touted Iowa caucuses, the rather pathetic pack of Republican presidential wanna-bees are frantically blanketing every corner of the state in search for votes. I have little doubt that ordinary Iowans will be glad when the whole damn thing is over, and the rhetoric of ass-kissing politicians from Texas, Massachusetts and Georgia can be …
