Newt Gingrich’s efforts to cast himself as the white knight, cleaving through the murk of blacks leeching off government, exposed more than the seedy opportunistic side of politics–It laid bare an electorate fueled by racist mores. The interesting part about being a racist is the not so subtle manner in which you promote your racist [...]

President Obama, The GOP, And Moving Poll Numbers
December 21st, 2011 · No Comments · Democracy, Democrats, Elections, Politics, Republicans
There may be a price to pay for intransigence. Because of a deliberate attempt at self-sabotage by congressional republicans, an inability of Speaker Boehner to reign in tea party freshmen, and the likelihood of a substantial tax increase on more than 160 million Americans–something conservatives would normally consider anathema–they find themselves on the wrong end [...]

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 [...]

The Real Newt Gingrich, Presented By Ron Paul
December 1st, 2011 · No Comments · america, Elections, Politics, Republicans
This video leaves little doubt as to what type of campaign President Obama would wage against republican nominee Newt Gingrich. It’s brutal tone is only matched by its reality. No matter how much Newt professes to be the outsider with a spine of steel, his actions and words always belie that. The president isn’t [...]

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 Art Of Softball Confrontation
June 29th, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Democracy, News, Republicans
Chris Wallace had the right theme in questioning Michele Bachmann on Fox News Sunday. While the wisdom of his line of questioning was sound, his approach leaned heavily to the land of soft toss–not unexpected by a Fox host toward a conservative guest. The flake comment gets a lot of the attention because of its [...]
