The GOP’s Lazy Black People Meme

February 2nd, 2012 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy

Goldberg’s take on Republican strategy: Black people have lost the desire to perform a day’s work. Black people rely on food stamps provided to them by white taxpayers. Black people, including Barack and Michelle Obama, believe that the U.S. owes them something because they are black. Black children should work as janitors in their high schools [...]

Obama, The Alien Menace

January 11th, 2012 · 2 Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics

This speaks for itself: Even needing to ask the question provides the answer. It matters not where he was born; this man is deeply and fiercely alien to the American tradition. He thinks ordinary Americans “cling” to Gods and guns because we are “bitter.” He believes we should “redistribute the wealth.” He thinks cops are [...]

Herman Cain’s Predictable Use Of Race

December 15th, 2011 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, america, News, Racism

This didn’t take long:video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player Of all the reasons for Herman Cain’s spectacular flame out, being a brother wasn’t one of them.  In fact I submit it helped him far more than it hurt him in his spectacular rise to the top of the polls. What’s more fascinating is Cain’s persistent calls [...]

Mitt Romney’s Shameful Moment

December 14th, 2011 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, Democracy, Elections, Politics, Republicans

It’s one thing to disagree on a particularly divisive issue–it’s entirely something different to engage in haughty, disreputable politics.  Mitt Romney’s shameful display not only reinforced his strained attempts at humanizing his candidacy–it showcased an utter lack of political savvy and genuine compassion. At an event that was meant to highlight the endorsement of Romney [...]

Herman Cain Unplugged

November 15th, 2011 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, Elections, Politics, Republicans

This is remarkable. The quote of the day: It’s unclear whether Cain’s candidacy is just part of his book tour, part of an effort to land a Fox show, or some sort of mere vanity project. But whatever it is, it is not a serious presidential campaign. Cain hasn’t earned the right to be taken [...]

Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan Continues To Raise Questions

October 14th, 2011 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, Democracy, Elections, Politics, Republicans

Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 economic plan continues to get panned (pizza pun intended) by economists and even conservatives.  On the surface it seems like a blatant hosing of the poor, by shifting the tax burden more heavily upon their shoulders in order to create tax equity.  Cutting beneath the surface, Cain’s plan is simply a nod [...]

The GOP Debate Begins To Flesh Out The Winners From The Losers

June 14th, 2011 · 1 Comment · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Elections, News, Politics, Republicans

Two observations about the first GOP Presidential Debate: Mitt Romney clearly separated himself from the pack of milquetoast contenders vying for the crown.  Romney showed deftness, quiet strength, and a mature yet effective  argumentative style.   The most stark contrast came between he and Herman Cain, token flamethrower in the race.  Cain while charming, cannot [...]

The Conservative Brand On Display

June 6th, 2011 · 1 Comment · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Republicans

Conservatives continue to push narratives outside the mainstream–and in the case of Carmen San Diego Palin–out and out make shit up without regard to fallout, and seemingly without consequence. Mitt Romney continues to deny a record as governor he built, and programs he initiated quite proudly. How can anyone govern sensibly and with a bi-partisan [...]

Herman Cain And The Federal Reserve

May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Republicans

You’re going to see more of this as Cain becomes more well known in conservative circles–and to the American public.  His record will be scrutinized vigorously, and his tenure at the Kansas City Federal Reserve could prove very toxic to the tea party– the group who exults Mr. Cain.I’m curious as to how he justifies [...]
