Primary Colors Of GOP Frustration

January 23, 2012

South Carolina's conservative voters chose a GOP presidential candidate on Saturday who has unfavorable ratings nationally of 58-60%.

A Class Warfare Election

December 28, 2011

Writing about Mitt Romney in Esquire, the excellent Charles Pierce had this to say…. He (Romney) is really the only true class warrior in the race. He's counting on prejudice and ignorance because he is running in the Republican primaries and that's the coin of the realm. But he's also counting on the desperate dreams [...]

"It Doesn't Work"

December 6, 2011

Obama gave a speech today. I have a few major disagreements with Obama's leadership….but I couldn't find anything I disagreed with in today's speech.

November 10, 2011

There they were again. The 8 irrelevant GOP presidential candidates. There they were being asked questions last night by the pimps for Wall Street from CNBC. Quite remarkable, really.
