While my head tells me Mitt Romney for our candidate in 2012, my heart is with Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels…which of course means he’s going to toy with my emotions. Most recently in a local paper Courier-Journal he said he’s NOT running for President. Then he said he’s not looking at ‘12 bid, but “if [...]

Romney on the Economy: Fix It
Posted: August 18, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Mitt Romney, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: economy, mitt romney, jobs
It’s time for another Mitt Romney “chair shot” editorial where, just like in pro-wrestling (which politics seems to be faker than), he runs in when no one is paying attention, wacks the President with a chair (proverbially), and leaves through the audience. And I have to be honest, I’ve never wanted to be hit in [...]
Can Newt Gingrich win in 2012?
Posted: July 26, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Newt Gingrich, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2012, newt gingrich
Newt Gingrich said last Sunday on “Fox News Sunday” he was going to decide if he was running for President or not in February, which of course now makes his annual speech at CPAC that much more eagerly anticipated. We’ve heard this from him before, but my question isn’t if he will run…but should he [...]
Newt to Obama: Here’s Some Free Advice on Jobs
Posted: July 8, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Newt Gingrich, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: economy, jobs, newt gingrich, obama
I’m sure President Obama will jump at the chance to take advice from Newt Gingrich, one of the eighty-seven Republicans rumoured to be running against him in 2012. That said, when he’s lost even Arianna Huffington – ARIANNA FUCKING HUFFINGTON – on his lack of focus on the economy and jobs, the President might want [...]
Mitt Romney: Obama’s Biggest Uh-Oh

I’m admittedly not all that well read on foreign policy (that’s why we keep Dacia Nichol around), and I try to find cats who have more to say than “stop apologizing for America” as the one’s who I do read, or at least have a better understand of the issues even if they use the [...]
Newt’s for Jobs
Posted: June 24, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Newt Gingrich, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: economy, jobs, newt gingrich
The time for this is perfect. On the same day the latest NBC/WSJ poll give President Obama a 50% disapproval rate in handling the economy; Newt Gingrich has a town hall meeting and an editorial in “Human Events” on how to create jobs. The administration seems to have had a problem in that area. They [...]
Chris Christie for…VICE President?
Posted: June 23, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2012, chris christie, vice president
Chris Christie is not running for President. He said he’s not running for President. It makes no sense for him to run for President. It’s still hard for someone who is increasing growing as popular as he is to NOT have people call on him to run, especially when many of us on the Right [...]
Newt Gingrich: Republican Governors are What’s Up
Posted: June 22, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2010 Watch, 2012 Watch, Newt Gingrich, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2010, governor, newt gingrich
Newt Gingrich is a popular person to have opine on how Republicans will do in 2010. Besides being everyone’s favourite “will he/won’t he” candidate for President, he was also the cat who led the GOP Revolution in 1994. You may or may not have heard on the news, but 2010 is looking to be 1994 [...]
Mitch Daniels/Paul Ryan 2012?
Posted: June 17, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Mitch Daniels, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: paul ryan, 2012, Mitch Daniels
Around these parts, we’re all huge fans of Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan. They’re two of the smartest guys conservatives have fighting for us, and represent what I call the “Shut Up and Govern” wing of the Republican Party where they do just that…shut up and govern. They’re also two cats [...]
Where the Hell has Mitt Romney Been?

Mitt Romney has been noticeably quiet. Honestly, I’m sure a great deal of it had to do with the ObamaCare debate…what with it being eerily similar to the RomneyCare he passed in Massachusetts. And to any of my open-minded and tolerant liberal progressive friends who are offended by the phrase “ObamaCare,” IDontCare. Back to Mitt, [...]
Sarah Palin has a Nice Rack

To the reader who wasn’t happy I compared Sarah Palin to Tim Tebow and that I had to bash her just to “establish my credentials,” this one’s for you Slapnuts. And no, it’s not actually aboot her “rack.” It’s aboot how she won Super-ish Tuesday. Republicans in various states all nominated female candidates this past [...]
Don’t know Mitch Daniels? Start.

My post aboot how Chris Christie should NOT run for President started from a conversation with a friend who agreed, but felt he was all we had. Many people aren’t too impressed with our front runners (Mitt, Newt, Huck, and T-Paw) and are looking elsewhere. The more I keep thinking aboot a dark horse candidate [...]
Chris Christie NOT for President
Posted: June 7, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2012, chris christie
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is reaching Michael Jackson “Thriller” levels of popularity amongst conservatives. Every time he “drops” a new video from one of his town hall meetings, it gets retweeted all over the internets, and generally leaves us with one to three quotable zingers. Folks keep saying “Christie in 2012.” While your humble [...]
Newt to Detroit: “You Suck and Here’s Why…”
Posted: June 2, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Newt Gingrich, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: Detroit, economy, education, newt gingrich
I was going to go with “Newt Loses His Mind in Detroit Rock City,” but thought this headline was more apropos. Whether it was last year’s “the world the works vs. the world the fails” or Newt’s new slogan “2+2=4,” one of his focal points in need of desperate reform (besides the big two, Sacramento [...]
