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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This is epic. Conservatives know Newt doesn’t stand a chance. The man cannot make a statement about anything, without having to either clarify it the next day, or completely reverse course . It’s part of his history. Not a good look for a leader is it? Is it any wonder why he crashed and burned [...]

Newt Gingrich has always painted broadly outside the racial lines, and his deft ability to cocoon himself inside of a pseudo-intellectual balloon curries favor for him in conservative circles on issues of race. This quote deserves and demands more examination: Republican Newt Gingrich told a Georgia audience on Friday evening that the 2012 presidential election [...]

This is Herman Cain, as captured by The American Prospect’s Adam Sewer: “I’m an American Black Conservative – an ABC — and I’m proud of it,” Cain said. “And because I’ve been affiliated with the conservative movement, and had the audacity to go on talk radio and do a talk show, and promote conservative principles, [...]

This has been shown before obviously, but I think it illustrates an interesting dichotomy in today’s republican party. Reagan may have been talking about private sector unions, but the ideals he trumpeted here– the need to bargain collectively being intertwined with freedom is universal–and it epitomizes American principles. For all of the professed love and [...]

Save America! Elect Glenn Beck president of the United States. In one of the creepiest spots I’ve ever seen, a group called Main Street Bites Back is organizing a petition to get irritating, alcoholic, crybaby curmudgeon Glenn Beck to run. The front woman for the group Robin Potwora, showcases her terrifying skills before the camera [...]

The National Tea Party Convention concluded this past weekend, and If you’ve already read part one, then you know that the tone of the convention was set very early on. Racial paranoia wafted heavily in the air over the weekend, dampening the intended message of anti-tax, and anti-government intervention the movement was trying to focus [...]

You know, this would be comical if it weren’t so frightening. Courtesy of Stefan Sirucek and The Huffington Post: Here’s another shot. There are so many ways I can go here. I’m going to go with irony. In her speech last night to the Tea Partiers, Palin blasted President Obama for his usage of teleprompters. [...]
