My Speech to the New York YRs on the Importance of Local Races

Posted on November 4, 2011 | Leave a comment

I was recently the master of ceremonies at a fundraiser for Walden Mayor (and future Assembly candidate) Brian Maher. Prior to bringing him on, I spoke a little on the importance of local races…

Before I introduce the reason where here today. I just want to talk about the reason WHY we’re here, which is the importance of local races.

Like you, I came off of 2010 fired up and full of energy. This is great, we took back the Congress, he took back state houses, we took back Governorships and elected a ton of great Republicans to bring us into 2012 where we’re going to take back the White House. And I look at the candidates we have running for President who are going to take it to Obama, and all I can say is…meh.

Fight Like a RINO (Why I’m Dropping Out of the Presidential Race)

Posted on October 31, 2011 | 1 Comment

Yeah, so I’m done with the Presidential race. I’ll vote for our nominee, but as far as investing any of myself in the primaries, I’m out.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like my vote even matters in the first place. I live in New York. By the time we have our primary in April we’ll already know who our nominee is, and the state’s going Obama in the general no matter how much of an unmitigated disaster he is, simply because of the D after his last name.

I’ve been thinking of this for a while, and there are three key reasons why I’m tapping out:

I’ve Flip-Flopped on Mitt Romney Again (or, WTF dude?)

Posted on October 25, 2011 | 4 Comments

Of course, immediately after mocking Herman Cain and Rick Perry for needing to be something more than just “not Romney,” Romney goes an does something that causes even moderate RINO squishes like me to go, “Are you serious bro?”

I wasn’t a fan of his back in 2008. It drove me insane when all of the “truuuuue conservatives” were claiming that Mitt Romney was the second coming of Ronald Reagan riding to our rescue on a three legged stool, even though he was same Mitt Romney then that they suddenly criticize now. I flipped after the election.

As I started to realize the error of my ways regarding John McCain, Romney was making a lot of sense with his well timed editorials and media appearance criticizing the President on substantive matters. While cats on our side were flailing their arms aboot birth certificates and Sharia Law, Romney stayed focused on jobs and the economy. This was a candidate I could get on board with.

Welcome to the 2012 race. I won’t nitpick over every issue he’s run to the left on if it would grab him an extra few points in the polls. Just these two:
