Year: 2012

Well, Romney won the CPAC straw vote but what the media does not report is the extent to which Romney rigged the vote. His campaign bused in hundreds of College Republicans from all over, paid their registration fees, their hotel rooms, and even provided pizza for them. All the campaign demanded in return is that […]

Rick Santorum won big victories in three small contests in the Republican presidential race last Tuesday. In doing so, he reshaped the oft-reshaped nomination battle once again. But he has not installed himself as the favorite, and neither he nor Mitt Romney has established himself as the candidate who can do best in the general […]

Last October, one political pundit explained how a mere 3 percentage point decline in Massachusetts’ uninsured rate after the enactment of Romney Care showed the failure of universal health care at even a state level. She did not like the policy itself, but thought that Romney had the best chance of winning out of any […]

The domestic-violence case against San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi did not start with a call from wife Eliana Lopez or neighbors who heard a fight getting out of control at the family’s home on New Year’s Eve. It started with a Jan. 4 phone call to police from a friend and neighbor, Ivory Madison, whom […]

If you aren’t creeped out by the No Birth Control Left Behind rhetoric of the White House and Planned Parenthood, you aren’t listening closely enough.

OK, I give up. About a week ago, I wrote a column making a case for Mitt Romney as the GOP nominee. My argument was aimed at fellow conservatives who just can’t get their minds — or at least their hearts — around a Romney candidacy. The details aren’t important right now (and they’re easy […]

As God’s instrument, Moses parted the Red Sea. Well, it appears President Obama has a different idea. With a wave of his hand, he’s going to reunite our bitterly divided political waters on the hottest of hot-button issues. Don’t get me wrong; Obama’s conscious effort to divide Americans on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion […]

Super Bowl XLVI was a good football game, marred once again by the bohemian elite at NBC. NBC could have prevented, but failed to stop, the broadcast of a female rapper “flipping the bird” at 114 million viewers during Madonna’s halftime show. It was another “fleeting expletive” of the hand-gesture variety, and somehow, despite elaborate […]

Rick Santorum — a man who lost his last election in his home state by 18 points — is suddenly threatening the front-runner status of Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination. He, not Newt Gingrich, is emerging, at least for the moment, as the conservative alternative to Romney, having won decisively in three state […]
