Awwww…. Newt wants us to see him as a big softy: Forget the back and forth attacks with Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich’s campaign has decided to take another route on his bid to the Republican nomination: pets and music. The campaign said today that it will soon launch a “Pets With Newt” site aimed at […]
Lately I have been thinking a lot about which candidate would be better for President Obama to have to face next year. It’s a very important question with the first primary voting starting in a couple of weeks. Some believe President Obama would do better against Mitt Romney, while others believe Newt’s the man to […]
During Thursday night’s debate there was a strong message coming from Newt Gingrich. He believes in an imperial presidency and he isn’t backing down now: Newt Gingrich says as president he would ignore Supreme Court decisions that conflicted with his powers as commander in chief, and he would press for impeaching judges or even abolishing […]
A lot of the Tea Party has been throwing their weight behind Newt Gingrich, but lately we have been seeing some big name former Tea Party candidates split off and endorse Mitt Romney. It started earlier this week when Christine “I’m not a witch” O’Donnell came out and endorsed the Mittster. You got to give […]
I watched last night’s debate and one thing really stuck out at me. The right still has a desire to have an imperial Presidency. First to take a swing at this danger ball was Rick Perry.

In 2003 Congress passed the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act, which later became known as Medicare Part D. Remember that? A lot of wonks point to it as a critical piece of legislation that helped Bush win his re-election in 2004. Of course the law didn’t go into effect until 2006 and for […]
How many gay and lesbian couples have had to take pledges to not commit adultery in their marriages? I don’t know of any, but I do know of one Republican Presidential front runner who has.
Newt Gingrich’s tax plan does give almost everyone a tax break, but some more than others. Can you guess which ones? People earning more than $1 million a year would receive an average tax cut of $613,689 in 2015, compared with what they pay now. That change would boost their after-tax income by 28.7 percent […]
Some very troubling polling has come out for the Republicans in their attempts to retake the White House. This from PolitcsUSA: The biggest surprise is in the new NBC/Marist poll of South Carolina, where Obama’s approval rating is a not too upside down for a reliable red state 44%/48%. The big shock is that President […]
