This week, Ron Paul is likely to win more delegates to the 2012 GOP convention than either Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum. In fact, he’s likely to win more delegates than Gingrich and Santorum combined. “Hold it”, you’re saying, “How can that be? Rep. Paul’s polling in single digits in Florida. He’s going to finish […]
It’s always interesting to hear how the other side views its political proponents. When they have whined in the past that pro-abortion politicians aren’t vocal enough, I have always held the opposite view. But not lately. While pro-life politicians could always do better, I have recently thought that particularly the Republican presidential candidates have come […]
A former intern for Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney says that contradictory to the camp’s statements, the former Massachusetts governor did authorize flyers in 2002 that championed LGBT rights. The conflict is only the most recent in decades of both endorsement and criticism of legalized same-sex marriage, DADT, and other equal rights efforts. The Manhattan […]
As most of you know, I am no fan of Mitt Romney. The only constant in Mitt’s history seems to be moving his political career forward. So, I haven’t exactly been disappointed in the recent disruption of Mitt’s coronation plans.

Apparently the television audience felt the same way, judging by […]

During the same period, the price of ground beef has gone up 24 percent and price of bacon has gone up 22 percent. When Obama entered the […]
A little-noticed event gives a grim insight into what is really happening in the Middle East. The euphoria of the “Arab Spring,” the instant Twitter-style transition from dictatorship to democracy, is seen for what it is: an illusion. Yes, the dictatorship of one kind has gone, but democracy in the sense we understand it […]
Rick Santorum (and his supporters) have a decision to make. Does Santorum still believe that Mitt Romney is “the candidate that will stand up for the conservative principles that we hold dear” as he said when he endorsed him four years ago instead of Mike Huckabee (he said Romney and not Huckabee was “the only […]
