I have always thought that part of the reason for Iraq was the desire to put military bases there to secure access to the oil resources there.  Bush issued a signing statement today that lends credence to this possibility.  This falls in line with The Project for the New American Century (or NAMBLA) goals of […]

Windpower has again dominated the week in the Delaware blogosphere.

Romney is a Fake

Filed in Uncategorized by on January 15, 2008 2 Comments

Mitt was caught in one of those Presidential campaign gotchas today when it turned out that the unemployed, single-mother of two, happened to also be the mother of one of his paid staff. This reminds me of so many gaffes that have been called out throughout the years.  Wasn’t the argument in 2000 that Al […]

What I’ve Learned About the Early Primaries

Filed in Uncategorized by on January 6, 2008 15 Comments

I have to thank Dave Burris.  I didn’t get it until I listened to what he was saying.  He has been battered by polls for the past 6 months that showed that Mitt was doing poorly nationally.  Dave pointed out that nationally didn’t matter so much at the beginning.  Mitt was spending to win Iowa […]
