Obama Raised Taxes on Buffet’s Secretary!

Posted on January 25, 2012 by ikefriday

Populism Gone Wrong Last night, Warren Buffet’s secretary occupied a place of honor as an invited guest of the Obama’s to the State of the Union address. She got to sit with the First Lady, sort of like the Iraqi woman who was invited by Bush and showed off her ink stained finger for voting. [...]

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 [...]

Gingrich Pays Much Higher Tax Rate Than Obama

Posted on January 20, 2012 by ikefriday

The 99% should chew on this: Compared to Obama’s 24% effective income tax rate, Newt is paying a lot more. Newt is paying an effective income tax rate of 31%, which is probably higher than even Warren Buffett’s secretary. Here is my question. Most people don’t know how to read their own tax return. What [...]

Newt’s Ex…So What?

Posted on January 20, 2012 by ikefriday

Am I crazy? Maybe. But I don’t think the Marianne Gingrich affair will end up materially changing this race. If you remember, I wrote earlier this week about campaign fatigue. It is January, not last July. Nobody woke up this morning and discovered that Gingrich is in his third marriage. So what do voters think [...]

Newt Handed the Debate Win by CNN

Posted on January 19, 2012 by mduminiak

CNN handed the debate to Newt Gingrich on the opening question about his ex-wife’s allegations. With an economy in the toilet, millions out of work, a debt that is out of control and so many other issues facing us, CNN decided that the old allegations dredged back up by ABC were the top issue to [...]

President of the A.V. Club

Posted on January 19, 2012 by mduminiak

Whoopidee doo, Ricky Santorum maybe, kind-of, possibly won in Iowa, but we’ll never know. We’re in South Carolina now and voting in Florida in less than two weeks. Those are big league primaries. No offense to Iowa, but who cares what they think? (Actually, I guess that is an offense to Iowa – but given [...]

Hell Hath No Fury

Posted on January 18, 2012 by ikefriday

Viral Ex? Newt’s daughters are coming to his aid as ABCNews has made the decision to disregard ethical concerns and air an interview with Newt’s second wife the night before the South Carolina primary. His ex-wife, Marianne Gingrich, has said that she could end his candidacy with one interview, and this may be it. But [...]

Time to Stand

Posted on January 12, 2012 by mduminiak

One of the greatest problems plaguing the political scene is cowardice. More particularly it is ideological cowardice. It is an admitted fact that candidates run to the fringe during primaries and then run to the center for the general election. That is considered good politics. Unfortunately, it makes for bad government. The level of [...]

Paul’s Miscalculation

Posted on January 11, 2012 by ikefriday

Ron Paul seems to think his base is mainstream conservative Republicans. His message to other social conservatives? Drop out. Paul’s third place Iowa finish and second place New Hampshire finish is giving him and his supporters a lot of hope. But what Paul fails to realize is that social conservatives are often also pro-security and [...]

So Much for the New Newt

Posted on January 10, 2012 by mduminiak

Many years had passed since Newt Gingrich served as Speaker of the House. In those years, Newt told us that he had matured. He had seen his mistakes, found religion and was ready to put policy solutions and a positive vision for America at the center of his campaign. He refrained from fighting with the [...]

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 [...]

Lessons From History

Posted on December 30, 2011 by mduminiak

There is a saying often attributed to Mark Twain that goes, ‘History does not repeat itself but it does rhyme.’ Any fools with a nostalgia for the late 70′s learned the truth of that in the past few years. Being President is about more than smiling and speaking in grand platitudes. It is a harsh [...]

Ron Paul: Foreign Policy Radical?

Posted on December 28, 2011 by mduminiak

Below is a video with highlights from the 2000 Presidential Debates by George W. Bush on his foreign policy ideas. If I’m not mistaken, he sounds a lot like Ron Paul when it comes to being over-deployed, being overly involved in the internal affairs of other nations and getting into fights we have no exit [...]
