King of Bain, “When Mitt Romney Came To Town” [Trailer]

Posted on January 8, 2012 | 1 Comment

I’m not unbiased in the matter, and it makes me uncomfortable when the right attacks the right with class warfare. That said, Romney had no problem  attacking from the left this cycle  and it is a damn good trailer…

Enough with this [Candidate X] Must Drop Out Bullshit

Posted on January 4, 2012 | Leave a comment

(The graphic to your left was lifted by those upstanding lads at Misfit Politics)

I’m a Not-Romney guy. Newt Gingrich is my Not-Romney of choice. I’ve already discussed why Rick Perry campaign and Jon Huntsman campaign haven’t impressed me. Rick Santorum? I’ll have to Google him when I get home, but meh. But while I prefer one Not-Romney to the other two and it would be easier for him if they dropped out, this jive where people demand [candidate X] drop out and endorse is ridiculous.

I know everyone keeps getting more unhinged on the internets when you disagree with them, but three things…

Newt Gingrich Judges Your Candidates Economic Plan

Posted on January 2, 2012 | Leave a comment

“Nothing will turn America around more than election night, when Barack Obama loses decisively.” - Newt Gingrich

My friend and colleague Jimmie Bise was lamenting the other day on the Twitters on how none of our candidates are talking aboot the issues (disclosure, we’re both Gingrich supporters). You hear a lot of who is being mean, who should drop out, who’s lying…the candidates are almost on the verge of ragging on each other mothers.

There’s hasn’t been nearly enough talk aboot jobs/taxes/economy at all, and that includes the candidates themselves not talking aboot their plans (Huntsman’s and Perry’s were particularly good). Newt Gingrich tried to rectify that with a bus tour across Iowa touting his economic plan…

Mr. T’s Prediction for the 2012 Iowa Caucus

Posted on January 1, 2012 | Leave a comment

Personally, while  I would  love (and am still routing for) a Newt Gingrich upset, I think Mitt Romney wins in Iowa, is inevitably endorsed by Michelle Bachmann, and after taking New Hampshire everyone will fall in line.

I like Mr. T’s taking on the entire Republican Primary better though…

Why the Newt Gingrich/Barack Obama Debates Matter

Posted on December 18, 2011 | 1 Comment

I have to admit, I’m a little taken aback by the animosity being thrown towards Newt Gingrich from the right. No candidate is perfect and I’ll be the first to admit there are parts of his record I was surprised by, but he is still the guy who led the 1994 revolution that brought us tax cuts, welfare reform, a surplus, and actually reducing the role of government.

Yet while some on the right appear to be actively trying to destroy him, he still draws huge crowds on the campaign trail of people hanging on his every word. I saw it first hand in Staten Island, and I’ve heard from people in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina that have said the same thing. His sudden reemergence can be tied to one thing. It’s not aboot being Not-Romney. It’s aboot how badly people are looking for someone to take the fight to Obama, and how Newt appears to be the only one willing if not also the only one capable.
