Mitt Romney's days at and after Bain have been largely unexamined in the primaries. None of the other candidates has the resources and organization to do the research, but others are and it will hurt Romney's come the general election if he is the nominee...
Irony is winning the Iowa caucuses

How ironic would it be if a month-long onslaught by conservative media and attack ads run against Newt non-stop by a Mitt Romney supporting SuperPAC resulted in Ron Paul winning the Iowa caucuses? Paul also is running attack ads, but without the rest of the...

That was the subject line in the e-mail from Aaron Worthing, who blogs at Allergic to Bull , who sent this photo: It was perfect, almost perfect. A bumper sticker picture with a hilarious contradiction. First they say "universal healthcare is pro-life" and then they say the...

Mitt was for Newt’s brilliant intellect, before he went zany for it
on December 18, 2011
13 Comments
Mitt Romney has been doubling and tripling down on the strategy of crazy attempting to portray Newt as mentally unfit for office. Part of that strategy is to characterize Newt as "zany." Romney stood by the accusation this morning on Fox News Sunday. But that's not how...

Interesting stuff: Good neutral article about the 10 factors which could sink Newt in Iowa. One of them was "Fox News Talkers." I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed. Coulter was on Hannity, O'Reilly, and apparently Red Eye singing the same Newt's crazy tune. ...
Some thoughts on Hitchens
on December 18, 2011
42 Comments
I don't care for the phrase “public intellectual,” particularly when paired with “political thinker.” It tends to reference the most polemic or controversial people, skeptics of common sense. For instance, there are lots of great thinkers who have never ascended to notoriety the way Noam Chomsky...

Mitt Romney was on Fox News Sunday this morning, and his interview went well overall. But Romney is doubling down on his claims that Newt is an unreliable conservative because of Newt's comments last spring about the Ryan Plan and "right wing social engineering," and his couch...
“Savagely lashing news goalie”
on December 18, 2011
48 Comments
I guess I'm upsetting some people with my vigorous posts regarding Newt. Robert Stacy McCain says I've "hopped aboard the Gingrich bandwagon and [am] savagely lashing Newt’s critics." Actually, the bandwagon jumped on me, because my endorsement predated Newt's surge, if only by a few days. John Sexton...

This is the video of Michele Bachmann accusing Tea Party members, not just in South Carolina but "all across the country," of taking money from Gingrich for endorsements, which I referenced in my post Friday: The Bachmann SC Tea Party Coalition Leaders has issued a statement...
Saturday Night Card Game (Ann Coulter plays birther card on Tea Party for not supporting Romney)
on December 17, 2011

"Bombastic" is Ann Coulter's favorite new word in attacking Newt Gingrich. (irony noted) Coulter was on O'Reilly last night lambasting Newt as "bombastic" with no policy accomplishments. Mark Levin, no supporter of Newt, has come to his defense, much as Andrew McCarthy dissented from National Review's hit...
Another Obama Counter-Indicator
on December 17, 2011
9 Comments
The more Obama pushes class warfare, the more people reject class warfare. That's certainly not what I expected. It's the counter-indicator effect. If he's for it, the opposite will happen. Perhaps he should announce an Unemployment Plan instead of a Jobs Plan. It's another one of those...

Take one Bibi a Day and you will feel better. The Prime Minister of the Jewish State doesn't seem to feel the need to stick to Happy Generic Holiday which happens to arrive in late December every year and is not the one invented in the 1960s. It's a...
