Say Good-Bye To The White House Vegetable Garden
Herman Cain really doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about. Like Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and the bunch, he’s so internally inconsistent in everything he say’s that he can’t even give a clear statement about whether he believes there should be a “balance” of toppings on a pizza, or an “abundance”: Alan Richman: I [...]
Rick Perry, not good enough for the conservative base
As the Republican presidential race drags on into the fall, the Perry campaign is beginning to lose support among the conservative base. I say this mostly because of poor reception Rick Perry received during the Fox News/Google Debate after he displayed a seemingly tolerant, un-hawkish posture during a question about illegal immigration. Responding to a [...]
Movie Trailer’s Are Usually Deceptive
Rick Perry came out with a terrifyingly scary “shock and awe” style campaign video earlier today that casts President Obama as some fascist ruler who led us into nuclear apocalypse with the motto of hope. In a previous post, jay mentioned that the frightening audio track is actually the theme music from the SAW films. [...]
Pro-Life?
CNN/Tea Party Express Debate (9/12/2011): Blitzer: Let me ask you this hypothetical question. A healthy, 30-year-old man has a good job, makes a good living, but decides, “You know what, I’m not going to spend $200 or $300 a month for health insurance because I’m healthy, I don’t need it.” Something terrible happens, all of [...]
Federal Dollars for the Tea Party Front-Runner
(1) This past August, in the wake of Hurricane Irene, many Republicans in Congress began questioning the role of the federal government when it came to disaster response.

A Media Narrative Trailer
This article from CNN warns us all about the depressing, inane, and repetitive torture that the political news media is going to carry out against the American public in the next two months: Columbia, South Carolina (CNN) — A Republican presidential race that has been anything but slow kicks into an even higher gear this [...]
Enter Rick Perry
I’m back from my two-week hiatus, which I spent traveling around the east coast. Nearing the end I had to cut my vacation a day short, under threat of Irene, and I headed back to Syracuse on a last minute train ticket. But, I’m back now, and during the last two weeks one of the [...]
Are they admitting that they are fake?
Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks has gone into crisis mode overnight. After cultivating the Tea Party’s “brand” over the past three years as an organically spawning libertarian movement, they now have to deal with Mitt Romney stepping on their (astro)turf. Romney plans on attending a Tea Party rally this weekend in New Hampshire to begin his new [...]
Is there room for a moderate Republican?
This question has been baffling the political scene since John McCain ended his campaign as a fringe right-winger, claiming that Obama had ties to terrorists and America-haters, and refused to temper outbursts of “Kill Him!” at McCain-Palin rallies. We all know the story after that – the Republican Party erupted with a new wave of [...]
Enough! The Never-Ending Story of the Republican Presidential Primary
Even after Rick Perry made a late entrance into 2012 Republican Presidential field, it seems that many commentators, columnists, strategists and politicians are still not pleased with the primary field.
