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 [...]

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 [...]
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, [...]
Newt: RomneyCare Doesn’t Suck So Bad

It’s clear that Newt Gingrich is seriously considering running for President this time around. I know we’ve been through this with him before, but with the release of “To Save America” (which I’ll be reviewing later this week), I’d be shocked if he didn’t run. It’s also clear that any Republican who does run is [...]
BOOK REVIEW: No Apology by Mitt Romney
Posted: March 2, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Book Review, Entertainment, Mitt Romney, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2012, mitt romney, no apologies
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 almost entirely on [...]
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 who [...]
The Re-Imagining of Mitt Romney
Posted: February 15, 2010 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Mitt Romney, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2012, 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 for [...]
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 made [...]
Romney to America: Hey, We Tried to Warn You
Posted: November 23, 2009 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Mitt Romney, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2012, mitt romney, obama
During the campaign, you were never allowed to question Barack Obama’s lack of experience. You were allowed to question Sarah Palin’s lack of experience, not to mention her uterus and which kids were actually hers. But Obama? The Chosen One? Anytime you questioned the fact that he really didn’t have much experience at doing much [...]
Mike Huckabee = Ronald Reagan v2.0

This will drive some folks in the blogosphere nuts. Ever since he dropped out of the 2008 race, most people have said Mitt Romney was the “next Reagan,” drawing a parallel between Ronald Reagan’s first failed run for the nomination against Gerald Ford in 1976. Romney has the look of a President, plus the economic [...]
Oh My God, ObamaCare Killed Romney

I don’t buy it. Granted, we talk all the time aboot the different people who are all running for President and how every little thing they say has a clue as to what they’re plans will be, but let’s be serious. This time four years ago the nominees were going to be Hillary Clinton and [...]
If Mitt Romney were President…
Posted: September 27, 2009 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Mitt Romney, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2012, mitt romney, obama
Mitt Romney is running for President in 2012. Of course, that means in every interview between today and sometime in 2011, he has to tell people that he isn’t even thinking about running for President in 2012. You’ll usually get a mash-up of crossing bridges when you get to them, not knowing what the future [...]
Romney: “This is everything Obama is doing wrong…”

Mitt Romney is another cat I like to cover, though it’s a little less frequently than Newt Gingrich. While the former Speaker of the House has a new editorial three or four times a week, the former Governor of Massachusetts takes the occasional weekend getaway where he covers a bunch of issues all at once, [...]
Romney on Foreign Policy: “Frailty, thy name is Obama!”
Posted: September 21, 2009 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Mitt Romney, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: foreign policy, mitt romney, obama
Foreign policy is a difficult issue to follow from the cheap seats. Domestic policy is easier. It still takes work, but you can read up on it, watch a little of the news, apply everything to your own life, and form an opinion. Foreign policy is more difficult, because there’s not only a lot out [...]
Romney: “Don’t Hate the Player”
Posted: September 20, 2009 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Mitt Romney, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2012, mitt romney, tim pawlenty
Class warfare rhetoric is the epitome of shameless pandering. You convince voters that anyone who has more than them is corrupt and evil, and are free to demagogue whatever the private sector boogey man du joir is. On the streets, we call this “player hatin’.” Surprisingly enough, the Democrats are the worst offenders of this, [...]
