The GOP Debates: Not Grand, Getting Old, And Nothing To Party About
How Many More Of These GOP Debates Do I Have To Endure? I’m still recovering from the last GOP debate on September 7th in Simi Valley, California and bracing for the next one on September 19th in Tampa, Florida. Last week the “leaders” in the GOP race to become our country’s next president came together to explain their positions on everything from Obamacare to jobs and not much in between. It’s not like, among many other issues, we’ve... Read More
Perry And Romney: Products Of The Extreme Right And Wrong For Our Country
Could Perry & Romney Be Fraternal Twins Separated At Birth? You’ve heard this story before: twins separated at birth end up choosing the same career, making the same types of life decisions and behaving in uncannily similar ways. Now, after hearing about how Rick Perry is polling at the top of the GOP presidential field, ahead of Mitt Romney, and after suddenly noting how much they resemble one another, we’re wondering if these guys aren’t “political...

Monday’s GOP Debate: John King And The Seven Dwarfs
This past Monday the GOP held its umpteenth debate between a bunch of conservative candidates who have no hope of winning a presidential election. It was a beautiful day in New Hampshire and the weather was perfect for a pointless exchange of ideas that would have no bearing on anyone or anything. Tim Pawlenty and Rick “Foot-In-Mouth” Santorum stumbled badly out of the gate, as Pawlenty tripped over his own words and Santorum seemed lost and confused as to where he... Read More
Romney Breaks With Republicans On Global Warming
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has evidently decided to take a few less sips of the Republican Kool-Aid. During a New Hampshire town hall meeting on Friday (June 3), Romney acknowledged that global warming is real and that humans are playing a causative role: “I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that,” [Romney]… told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire …...

Newt Is Anything But New
Just when you thought the Republican slate of presidential hopefuls couldn’t get any more bizarre (courtesy of Donald Trump), more boring (thanks to Mittens Romney and Tim Pawlenty, yawn) or just plain old more idiotic (the ladies have this one tied up, thanks to Sarah “I can see Russia from my bedroom window” Palin and Michele “carbon dioxide has never been proven to be harmful” Bachmann), enter stage right Newt “Mr. American Values” Gingrich and his mistress of...

Obama vs. Brand X
On April 4, Barack Obama’s unofficial campaign team made the announcement everyone had been expecting for weeks: the President would be seeking a second term. Why make the announcement so early? There’s only one reason: the announcement allows the campaign to start fundraising. If political prognosticators are right, we are about to witness the world’s first billion-dollar election campaign. The Obama 2008 campaign was known for its social media savvy and their ability... Read More
Top 5 Potential Mitt Romney Campaign Slogans
Earlier this week, former Massachusetts Governor and 2008 GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney announced his plans to organize an exploratory committee (the first step a national candidate makes before formally announcing his (or her) plans to run for higher office). Most political pundits and observers believe that Mitt stands a decent chance of getting the Republican nomination for President in 2012, due in part to his renowned fundraising ability. Furthermore, none of... Read More
