Obama-Emperor Less Than Zero’s Open Deceit

Posted on by Michael Fell

The current White House occupant is spending taxpayer money (again) flying around the country going to fundraisers (again) extrapolating on his 2012 re-election strategy to blame Republicans for the failure of policies implemented by himself, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi (again).:  Now he’s going around a “do nothing Congress” (see the U.S. Senate, controlled by […]

 

Obama Broken Promises: From ‘No Lobbyists in My Campaign,’ to Hiring Financial Services Lobbyist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama made a big show in 2008 of attacking evil Washington lobbyists. He campaigned on “change we could believe in” and aimed one of those things to believe in at eliminating lobbyists from Washington. But, it’s just another lie from Obama, in the end. Obama cruised into office with the claim that he’d have […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Mark Block is Herman Cain’s chief of staff for the insurgent campaign for president that has surprised everyone with its success. Block is featured in a new Cain campaign ad at the tail end of which he is seen cooly taking a drag off his cigarette. This has caused campaign watchers to go ape. First, […]

Media Tries to Make Rick Perry a Birther

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left-wing media’s newest attack on Rick Perry is an attempt to make him into a “birther” — one of those folks that think Barack Obama is not a natural born American, a requirement to become our president. This new attack, though, is almost Clintonian in its careful avoidance of the truth. The main attack […]

 

VIDEO: Suspected Terror Supporter Attacks Jews at Occupy Chicago

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Chicago’s RebelPundit came across some of those nice Occupy Chicago folks wishing good thoughts for all the kind participants at the protest… they kindly wished that Israel be destroyed. Worse, one of the guys these Occupy-Whatevers allowed to speak is a suspected funder of Middle Eastern terrorists. Just like the left, eh? Haters, racists, and […]

 

Bad News for Obama: His Big Lead in Illinois Narrowing

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A Southern Illinois newspaper reports what should be an ominous warning for Obama occurring in Illinois, his homestate. His margin of victory is narrowing in the one state that everyone assumes he should have in the bag. In 2008 Obama won his homestate by 25 points against John McCain. That is landslide proportions, for sure. […]

 

Politico Tries to Smear Herman Cain With Bad Pizza

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Politico unleashed an incredibly misleading smear job on Herman Cain this week by attacking “his” Godfather’s Pizza in a faux taste test in both written and video form. The idea was to see if Herman’s pizza was a good product. Naturally the taste testers hated the pizza. But is Godfather’s Pizza really Herman’s pizza? Of […]

 

Analysis Of CNN’s Nevada Debate: The Winners And Losers

Posted on by John Hawkins

There is a significant Mormon population in Nevade, many of whom apparently showed up to cheer Mitt on. Unless they do a surprise debate in Utah, this is probably the most friendly Republican crowd Mitt is going to see unless he takes the nomination. The atmosphere was combative. The candidates went at it with each […]

 

Romney Buoyed by Good Luck — and Hard Experience

Posted on by Michael Barone

Napoleon is supposed to have said that the quality he most valued in his generals was luck. In the current race for the Republican presidential nomination, Napoleon’s favorite would clearly be Mitt Romney. One lucky break after another has helped Romney maintain front-runner status or something close to it in polls of Republican primary voters […]

 

Occupy Wall Street College Grads Should Sue Their Schools

Posted on by Michael Fell

What’s most puzzling about Occupy Wall Street is: a persistent resistance by recent college graduates to acknowledging the cause and effect phenomenon manifested by big government interference in business. When you employ the economic policies of Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Jimmy Carter you’re going to get a lousy economy because you’ve created a climate that’s unfriendly […]

Flip Flop: Romney Now Accepting Occupy Wall Streeter’s Premise?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Only days ago Mitt Romney was saying that the Occupy Wall Streeters were dangerous. But, true to his penchant to “grow” in his opinion (“growing” is what the rest of us call flip floping), Romney is now beginning to accept the OWS theme of “the 99%.” The OWSers — I call them the Occupy-Whatevers because […]

 

Politics and Religion 2012 Version

Posted on by Cal Thomas

It was said of Al Smith, a Roman Catholic, that if he won the 1928 presidential election he would take orders from the Vatican and not uphold the Constitution. John F. Kennedy famously confronted that anti-Catholic prejudice in a 1960 speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association. Kennedy said in part, “I believe in an […]

 

Blame Corporations?

Posted on by Michael Fell

Would you hire people purely out of national loyalty knowing that doing so meant your company would eventually become fiscally insolvent? Corporations, like any business, are in business to make profits. Jobs are the byproduct of profits, not the other way around. Until U.S. corporate tax rates are cut to globally competetive levels, the corporations […]

 

Winners & Losers In The GOP’s New Hampshire Debate

Posted on by John Hawkins

There was a debate last night. Did you see it? If not, it may be because it was on freaking Bloomberg TV. I don’t know where they go from there. CB radio, maybe? Charlie Rose was the debate moderator, the debate was entirely focused on the economy, and there was actually a round where the […]

 

It’s Not Romneycult; It’s Romneycare

Posted on by David Harsanyi

At the Values Voter Summit, Republican primary candidate Rick Perry was introduced by a megachurch pastor, named Robert Jeffress, who offered the audience an extraordinary false choice: “Do we want a candidate who is a good, moral person or one who is a born-again follower of the Lord Jesus Christ?” Answer: We want a candidate […]

 

Joe The Plumber for Ohio’s 9th District!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Looks like Samuel Joesph Wurzelbacher, better known as “Joe the Plumber,” is getting closer to running for Congress. He’ll be taking on long-time left-wing Congresswoman Marcia Kaptur in Ohio’s Ninth District. The Federal Election Commission has listed a registration for “Joe for Congress 2012” in Wurzelbacher’s name. This adds to the discussion that Joe was […]

 

What Are Cain and Bachmann All About?

Posted on by Dick Morris

In the lunch alert videos on DickMorris.com last week and this week, Herman Cain, and then Michele Bachmann was interviewed to discuss their candidacies and perspectives. What emerged is a fascinating portrait of these two people and what their campaigns are really all about. (Actually, a clearer impression emerges of their programs than they themselves […]

 

How Obama Is Bypassing Democracy, Congress and YOU

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Phil Kerpen has a warning for you, America. He wants to alert you to the fact that Barack Obama is using his powers to create regulations to undermine Congress, ignore voters, and “radically transform America.” But Kerpen also has some good news. There’s a way to stop this left-wing assault on our country. You can […]

 

Perry Pathetically Hits Romney On His Wealth, Plans To Join #OWS

Posted on by William Teach

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the minute Rick Perry jumped into the GOP presidential primary race, it turned much nastier, rather than just some jostling back and forth. It was more focused on each candidate providing their ideas on the future of America, and the candidates were running more against Obama […]

 

Don’t Get Rid of the Electoral College

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Ever since Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the 2000 presidential election, there has been a major push to abandon the Electoral College system. Superficially, there is a sense that the election was unfair and everyone’s vote did not count equally.: Three or four: times in history we have elected a president who did not […]

 

A Quick, Dirty Rundown On The State Of The 2012 Race

Posted on by John Hawkins

1) Mitt Romney: Bachmann was a top tier candidate and she folded. Perry rocketed into first place and has now dropped back to third in most polls. Cain shot up from back of the pack to the top tier. All the while, Romney remained right near the top. Moreover, he’s looking extremely strong in New […]
