BOOK REVIEW: No Apology by Mitt Romney

I always hate political books that are more biographical than they are the person’s ideas. You know, 300 pages of what an awesome person they are, with one chapter dedicated to everything they would do the fix the country. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case with “No Apologies.” In it, Mitt Romney focused [ READ MORE ]

Mitch Daniels: Healthcare Reform Hoosier Stylee

So many articles lately on Mitch Daniels, so little time. This one is topical because it has to do with health care reform, or more specifically, health savings accounts. You know, one of the Republican alternatives the President lies aboot us not having. I’ve always been the most interest in HSA (let Wikipedia explain [ READ MORE ]

Mitch Daniels…Really Does Announce His Candidacy for President?

Normally I go with the “Person X Announces His Candidacy for President” as a joke and a cheap way to get people on the Twitter to click the link to my blog, but this time it’s at least slightly truthful. Only slightly. While Mitt Romney is still the perennial favourite for the nomination, some conservatives [ READ MORE ]

Mitt Romney: Meet Him Again, For The First time

I mentioned the “Re-Imagining of Mitt Romney” last week (to which a friend of mine snarkily called the re-re-re-re-imagining, *shakes fist*) on how M-Ro has learned from the mistakes of his failed 2008 campaign. Top of the list is of course not running as himself and instead running as a born again social conservative [ READ MORE ]

The Re-Imagining of Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney is a curious cat to watch in 2010. As the most likely heir apparent to the Republican nomination (since he’s next in line, and that’s just how we roll) I thought it was smart the way he was applying the “sneak attack” method, where he would wait for things to get bad [ READ MORE ]

Sarah Palin Will NEVER Run for President

It’s funny that after a two month hiatus from blogging, Sarah Palin is still the top thing to talk aboot. This weeks faux controversy? She gave a speech to the Tea Party Nation where she…wrote notes on her hand. Now, set aside the fact that she did that is another example of why she’s [ READ MORE ]

Tim Pawlenty: He’s Really a Real Conservative (this week)

I really want to like Tim Pawlenty, but so far he’s making all the same mistakes that soured me on Mitt Romney when he ran for President the first time. T-Paw is a blue-state Republican Governor who has a successful record to run on, is conservative without needing to be a dick aboot it, [ READ MORE ]

Who is John Galt…I Mean John Thune?

I was over the sister’s house celebrating the fact that she was two years older than her husband last night, and because everyone knows I follow the politics, I usually wind up fielding between one to three questions on vital political issues n’ stuff. The most common question is who I think is going [ READ MORE ]

Newt to Obama: I Got Your Jobs Summit Right Here, Sparky

I’ve made it clear that when it comes to “the Base vs. Newt Gingrich,” I’m clearly on the side of the former Speaker. Did I disagree with his endorsement in the NY-23? Yes. Am I happy that he’s hanging with Al Sharpton? No, but I consider that penance for conservatives not [ READ MORE ]

The Ten Commandments of Romney

I’ve admitted being a fan not only of Mitt Romney, but also of his “Stone Cold Steve Austin” approach to campaigning where he runs in, drops a few stunners, flips off the camera and leaves. So while Mike Huckabee is catching heat for a clemency, while Tim Pawlenty is repeating the same mistakes Romney [ READ MORE ]
