Romney needs to call Obama’s Bluffet….

Posted on April 16, 2012 by dfcowan

We know that the Bluffet, sorry Buffet, rule is a motif for President’s class warfare, and more warning shots will be fired when Congress returns today from a two-week recess to a test vote on the rule, which would impose a minimum 30 percent tax rate on income over $1 million. The Bluffett tax [...]

CPAC and Sarah Palin mark a turn to unity

Posted on February 11, 2012 by dfcowan

The most remarkable event of today’s CPAC was Sarah Palin endorsing unity. Instead of showing her support for any one candidate, she called for unity, saying that whoever the nominee is the GOP must defeat Obama. Whoever the nominee is conservatives must work together, she told an ecstatic audience, and the nation will have [...]

Newt Gingrich is Yesterday’s Man

Posted on February 10, 2012 by dfcowan

Newt Gingrich was introduced at CPAC by Calista, who generously thanked the many kind Americans they have met on the campaign trail. When he came on stage to an excited crowd, it was clearly no 2009, when he had entered through the crowd to his signature “Eye of the Tiger.” Maybe it’s the effect [...]

Mitt Flashes His Credentials with a Smile: See His CPAC Speech in its Entirety Here

Posted on February 10, 2012 by dfcowan

Will Romney show his conservative rivals the door? A smiling Mitt Romney came to CPAC today with one thing on his mind, the need to prove his conservative credentials to the base of conservative activists. Telling the audience that he knew many of them came to conservatism via Hayek or Edmund Burke, Romney said [...]

Is Washington alive to the Sound of Santorum?

Posted on February 10, 2012 by dfcowan

Rick Santorum appeared on stage with his family, introducing them he said they were not the von Trapp family and they weren’t about to sing. However as he set out on his speech to offer sweet music to conservative ears, he seemed to stumble a little, the speakers version of being out of tune. But, [...]

A Populist CPAC, but where are the ideas?

Posted on February 9, 2012 by dfcowan

Meeting Donald Rumsfeld today, the man who knows his knowns from his unknowns, he saw my media badge saying WhiteHouse12 and asked me “You’re from the White House?” I explained I was not, and we are a website covering the election, but I can’t be sure whether he was disappointed or not.

Politics IS a Contact Sport

Posted on January 30, 2012 by dfcowan

So, Newt has launched an attack ad on Mitt, and no doubt the Democrats are watching with glee. There are no doubt worries that attack ads damage the Republican Party, just as many worry that American politics is too divisive. Does all the “infighting” damage Republican chances? Well, no. Attack ads are part of politics. [...]

There Will Only Be One American Running for President In 2012

Posted on January 25, 2012 by dfcowan

There will only be one American for president in 2012, and I am not talking about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. The 2012 election is in effect a Referendum on American Capitalism. If the Republicans choose Mitt Romney, as they surely must, he will represent American Capitalism. President Barack Obama will represent Europeanized State [...]

Just What on Earth is a Conservative?

Posted on January 3, 2012 by dfcowan

Iowa is upon us. 2012 is upon us. How will it all end? It may just all end in tears. Tears because Obama wins, or tears because the GOP did not offer a viable alternative. Whatever happens, one thing is for sure: this is a time to stand up for conservative principles. But, just what [...]

Where is America’s Fighting Spirit? Ending the Malaise Presidency

Posted on October 28, 2011 by dfcowan

These days it seems Captain America has been overpowered by MalaiseMan. President Obama is MalaiseMan. He told a fundraiser on Tuesday, October 25 that America is in decline, which is the central theme of his presidency. People are buying it too, which is what the Occupy Wall Street movement and Tea Party is a symptom [...]

Loose Change you can believe in!

Posted on September 21, 2011 by dfcowan

Amid charges of “class warfare”, “betrayal” and calls to “tax the rich!” lies a very important question: Just why are we having this debate? Increasing taxes will not solve the problem, and what money it will bring in will amount to little more than loose change, because it will go into funding expanding government, [...]

President Obama: a liberal Wolf in conservative Sheep’s clothing

Posted on July 13, 2011 by dfcowan

The metaphor works well, and many liberals see it as the perfect strategy, but we’ll get to that in a moment. First, there are many concerned liberals who think President Obama is making a conservative-leaning deficit deal, and they are frustrated by what they believe is his conservative-leaning deficit strategy. The examples they cite [...]

GOP Candidates: With Friends Like These…..

Posted on July 12, 2011 by dfcowan

So, who needs enemies? I said I will look at all the candidates, so today, before I get back to some of the serious contenders let’s look at some of the no-hopers with their hat in the ring. These are candidates who will at best be invisible and at worse do some damage to [...]

Three Simple Steps to Solve America’s Debt, but one Giant Leap for the Nation’s Politicians

Posted on July 11, 2011 by dfcowan

There are three simple steps required to get America working at its best again, but they will require a giant leap in faith by politicians. The final space shuttle launch is perhaps a metaphor for where America is today. America has been travelling the European road towards secularism and dependency in recent years. This [...]

All the World’s a Stage: Debt will not exit Left or Right

Posted on July 9, 2011 by dfcowan

You know you’re in trouble when Warren Buffet comes out of the woodwork to offer a plan. And, you know you’re in bigger trouble when you kind of agree with him. Buffet’s plan is this: “I could end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that any time there’s [...]
