Is The Tea Party Over?

October 28, 2011

It's been fun, I have to admit that. However, all good times eventually wind down, and that's what appears to be happening with the political influence and stagecraft of the TEA Party. The TEA Party burst on the scene as an anti-Democratic protest movement, primarily protesting the election of America's first black president, who also [...]

Vegas Debate: Same Old Tired, Failed Nonsense

October 19, 2011

Last night's GOP-CNN primary debate in Vegas was a tad more exciting than the previous debates I've watched. Debate transcript here. Texas Governor Rick Perry, in my opinion, ended his chances last night with his petulant behavior towards Mitt Romney. If looks could do damage, Perry's looks in Romney's direction after several Romney backhands, would [...]

Pining For Baby Huey

September 27, 2011

I saw the results of Florida's GOP straw poll and I thought…..what? Herman Cain? Herman Cain received about 35% of the vote in the Sunshine State's GOP straw poll. That was twice as much as the nearest competitor. Herman Cain? I thought Governor Rick Perry, only jumping in the race a few weeks ago, was [...]

When Anti-Science Is GOP Cool

August 30, 2011

DougJ at Balloon Juice.com, discussing Rick Perry's anti-science march to the GOP presidential candidacy…. But if Perry wins the Republican nomination partly by being more anti-science than Romney—and I suspect that he will—then one way or another Paul Krugman is probably right: "[T]he odds are that one of these years the world’s greatest nation will [...]

But What About The Children?

August 29, 2011

Cowpoke Governor Rick Perry on Saturday warming up the wingnuts by bashing Social Security… “It is a Ponzi scheme for these young people. The idea that they’re working and paying into Social Security today, that the current program is going to be there for them, is a lie,” Perry said. “It is a monstrous lie [...]

Rick And Rubio

August 26, 2011

Sounds like a sitcom title….Rick and Rubio, premiering next fall,…or maybe not. Governor Rick Perry of the Lonesome State of Texas is a throwback. You know, gunslinging, horse riding, boot-wearing, West Texas-drawling kind of a Cowpoke. He ain't like them slickster guys in the northeast….not Governor Rick. Governor Rick is an all-in kind of guy….. [...]

Perry: U.S. Is Unconstitutional

August 24, 2011

Texas Governor Rick Perry, GOP 2012 presidential frontrunner now by double digits over Mitt Romney, has clearly articulated what the real problem is with the United States. The United States, itself, according to Perry, is unconstitutional. In typical Tea Party fashion, Perry promises to "take the country back" from it's unconstitutional self. Ultra-conservatives are flocking [...]

Let Us Prey

August 16, 2011

In April, I reported on the polling of Texas Republicans revealing that 51% of Texas GOP'ers agreed with Governor Rick Perry that "Texas may need to leave the United States." Just a reminder of what type of conservatives we're dealing with down in the Looney Star State. From April of this year also came Governor [...]

As Texas Goes, So Too Ohio?

January 4, 2011

The Lehman Brothers Governor of Ohio, John Kasich, has promised to make Ohio a more appealing state for new business while simultaneously handling the state's $8 billion budgetary shortfall. That promise, at least to me, means reducing taxes for the wealthier and for businesses, most likely ending Ohio's income tax altogether….while state and local sales [...]
