No One Wants To Marry Mr. Electable

Filed in National by on January 22, 2012 3 Comments

Throughout this political season, the only thing Mitt Romney hasn’t flip-flopped on is his reason for his getting the nomination: Electability.

Yawn.

He is the guy that proposes to a woman and cites being a good provider as the main reason she should marry him. He then adds that he’s dependable and quickly points out how passion is over-rated and not a good foundation for a marriage. Now, all of this may be true, depending on who Mr. Electable is proposing, but for most people it just doesn’t cut it.

Romney Doesn’t Want To Give Obama A Present

Filed in National by on January 20, 2012 20 Comments

Romney says “I’ll release [my tax returns] on April 15, and the reason is very simple: I want to beat Barack Obama. I don’t want to give the Democrats a nice little present of having multiple releases. We’re going to have one release.”
This really makes no sense… unless it really is a gift.

150 Evangelicals Can’t Be Wrong

Filed in National by on January 15, 2012 4 Comments

Santorum’s their guy. A group of 150 of the country’s leading social conservative and evangelical leaders met yesterday on a ranch outside Houston and, after three rounds of balloting, decided who they wanted as their official anyone-but-Romney alternative: Rick Santorum. Though the meeting was described by some as ‘too little, too late,’ it was still […]

If you haven’t watched Newt Gingrich’s Super Pac Ad… watch it now. It is absolutely devastating. Ed Kilgore describes is as “one of the most devilishly effective attack communications I’ve personally ever seen–a heat-seeking missile aimed directly at the white orking class id.”

Since the Tea Party and the Christian Coalition can’t get their act together, and have proven they aren’t a force to be reckoned with, we move onto the only candidate that can throw a monkey wrench in Romney’s inevitable nomination.

Ron Paul’s Man Crush

Filed in National by on January 9, 2012 6 Comments

The difference between Saturday night’s debate and Sunday morning’s debate was quite startling, but one thing remained consistent between the two.  Ron Paul will go after anyone but Mitt Romney. I have no idea why… do you? Paul can’t possibly think Mitt will pick him as VP, so what’s up with this?  Also, since only […]

Sunday Morning NBC GOP Debate

Filed in National by on January 8, 2012 41 Comments

My prediction for this mornings debate is… I got nothing. You see, I actually believed the not-Romney candidates when they were threatening attack on the Romney. I believed it because it made sense to go after the front runner. It’s flippin’ Politics 101, for crying out loud. And if they weren’t going to follow through with all their trash-talking why did they even bother to show up? I swear, I truly expected everyone one of them to end last night’s debate conceding to Romney, because, hey, that’s what they did.
