Depends on the definition of tax cuts, maybe?
Jon Kyl (7/11/2010): “You should never raise taxes in order to cut taxes. Surely congress has the authority and it would be right, if we decide we want to cut taxes to spur the economy, not to have to raise taxes in order to offset those costs. You do need to offset the cost of [...]
Rhetoric and Failure
Mitt Romney (11/21/2011): “They set this trap by saying we’re going to cut the military by $600 billion,” Romney said of the automatic cuts that would happen if the Super Committee did not reach a deal. “With the world that’s a dangerous place, we’re going to put the military on the chopping block. It’s like [...]
Newt Gingrich Vs. Newt Gingrich
Newt Gingrich on President Obama’s job policies (11/2/11): “This country has been maniacally anti-jobs. Obama is a left-wing radical who believes in class warfare and then he’s surprised that everybody who he’s attacking doesn’t create jobs. Newt Gingrich on Occupy Wall Street demonstrators (11/19/11): “That is a pretty good symptom of how much the left has [...]
Calling on Mayor Bloomberg to Raid The Occupiers of Bryant Park

Republicans, who until now opposed new tax revenue in any deficit plan, [...]
Who’s Going To Police The Police
In the past 48 hours, the main focal point of the Occupy Movement has moved from Zuccotti Park in New York City to Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland, California after what can only be called a senseless act of aggression by the Oakland Police Department. Armed to the teeth, a small army of riot police [...]
The Shifting Media Narrative Of Wall Street Campaign Contributions
Only 5 days ago, the media bombastically reported that there was a major gap in Wall Street campaign contributions, and that President Obama had lost out to his Republican adversaries. The headline that immediately echoed throughout the media landscape was that Mitt Romney had decisively taken the cake when it came to raking in contributions [...]
The GOP of 2012
There was a mindboggling moment during last nights’ Republican Debate when Anderson Cooper asked Herman Cain whether he stood by a remark he made a couple weeks ago that the unemployed can only blame themselves for their predicament. After Cain responded that he meant what he originally said, the crowd erupted in a roaring applause [...]
Hackery and Hyperbole
With the GOP primary underway, the candidates are all attacking Obama for the condition that the United States is in. Romney in particular is exceptionally good at answering questions in a way that is negative towards only the president and blames him. There is no question that the United States has some tremendous problems. These [...]
