Where New Hampshire Leaves Us

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Kempite

The results of the Live Free or Die State’s first in the nation primary, did little to change minds or establish any great degree of certainty about the final outcome when Republicans gather to nominate a President in September. Yet despite all the hand ringing, flavors of the many different weeks, sniping about who is to [...]

Hollow Victories?

Posted on January 10, 2012 by mduminiak

One aspect of the Republican race for the nomination that may yet become a serious issue is the penalty assessed on NH, SC, FL, AZ and MI because they held their primaries before February. It has been the case that no Republican has won the nomination without winning SC and either IA or NH. Yet, [...]

Capitalism a Casualty of Campaign

Posted on January 10, 2012 by ikefriday

What is happening to the Republican field? It made some sense when Cain was attacked for being a businessman with no foreign policy experience and no political experience. That was perhaps a fair shot at an outsider businessman candidate. Then came the attacks on Newt for having Freddie Mac as a client. Newt not only [...]

Ron Paul finally gets airtime in the debates

Posted on January 8, 2012 by ikefriday

Saturday night, Paul got caught. Santorum flushed him out, but Perry nailed it. Ron Paul was mid-attack against Santorum for adding earmarks when the subject of Paul’s own earmarks came up. Paul then gleefully announced that sure he added earmarks, but he never voted yes on any of the appropriation bills. Dr. Paul, that is [...]

Disgusting Ron Paul attack Ad against Huntsman brings campaign to new low

Posted on January 7, 2012 by worldviewtonight

The depths of personal attacks in the Republican party race sank to a new low yesterday when a video was released by a supporter of Ron Paul attacking Jon Huntsman, but using footage of his adopted children to question his “American values”. The video, posted to YouTube by the account “NHLiberty4Paul,” first calls Huntsman the “Manchurian [...]

These Debates Could Be Game Changers

Posted on January 7, 2012 by ikefriday

Come on. We’ve heard these candidates in just over one million debates so far this year. Another one? Another two actually, this weekend leading up to the New Hampshire debates. And these two debates could definitely wreak havoc on the standings going into New Hampshire. Mitt Romney is the undisputed front runner. Ron Paul and [...]

Be Careful Who You Pick As Friends

Posted on January 5, 2012 by ikefriday

Ron Paul never had a chance. It was part him and his abrasiveness, part his foreign policy that he failed to connect with voters on. For me, it was also his pro-choice in the states stance on innocent human life. But one of the reasons Paul never connected with mainstream Republican voters who would normally [...]

Romney won, Bachmann quit, Santorum is rising, Paul is maintaining his status quo, Newt is struggling, Perry has faith, and Huntsman….who? Iowa recapped: Mitt Romney Mitt Romney won in Iowa. Honestly? No big deal. Romney will gain momentum from winning, but when people look at the numbers they will realize that if Michele Bachmann wasn’t [...]

Groundhog Day Came to Iowa Early and Rick Santorum Saw His Shadow

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Kempite

Iowa proved to be an incredibly dramatic opening contests for the Republican presidential nomination that even included the added suspense of missing and improperly recorded vote totals. But by 2:30 in the morning, all was resolved and the results gave Mitt Romney a 8 vote victory. The closeness of the race did not help Mitt Romney but it [...]

Rand Warns Father to Chill

Posted on January 3, 2012 by ikefriday

Update: Ron Paul has not yet ruled out a 3rd Party run, but at least one of his best supporters is encouraging him not to. Rand Paul warned in a New Hampshire radio interview that Ron Paul running as a third party candidate would be a bad idea. Citing Perot’s failure and the TEA Party’s [...]

Gingrich Predicts His Own Loss in Iowa and Bachmann Hopes for a Miracle

Posted on January 2, 2012 by Kempite

After more than six weeks as the candidate with the target on his back and nearly 10 million dollars in negative ads against him, New Gingrich saw his Iowa poll numbers fall from a near 30% to his current standing in the mid teens. The loss of just about half of his support has [...]

Ron Paul’s Newest AD: Don’t Try To Win Over Republicans With Support from Liberals

As I Asked Before, Does It Make Sense to Endorse the People You Want to Run Against?

Posted on January 2, 2012 by Kempite

Last week I was criticized for criticizing now former Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson for endorsing Ron Paul for the Republican presidential nomination while at the same time seeking the Libertarian presidential nomination. I made a bit of a stink about the stupidity of endorsing the candidacy of someone who you intend to oppose. As it [...]

Iowa’s Mold Breaker Might Matter

Posted on January 2, 2012 by ikefriday

We are discovering the 2012 election cycle dynamic every day. One thing we have learned already is that things that didn’t matter last week are crucial this week. The thing we are learning this past week is that money matters, as Mitt Romney surrogates bought waves of negative airtime, Ron Paul bought Michele Bachmann’s Iowa [...]

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 [...]

If It Were Up To Republicans, Ron Paul Would Still Be a Second Tier Candidate

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Kempite

Ron Paul’s recent surge to the front of the pack certainly makes this an exciting time for those who subscribe to his rhetoric and feel that his lack of actual accomplishments makes him an ideal President. It’s also an exciting time for those who are simply fed up and looking for a way to register a significant [...]

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 [...]
