This could prove to be some real entertainment: As Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan comes to a final decision about running for president, several top national conservatives are encouraging him to join the race. Ryan, who has been seriously but quietly considering a presidential bid for several months, is expected to decide on a run in […]
The big buzz today has been the change in the GOP Presidential field. Essentially we are now looking at three candidates. Here they are in this screenshot from the HuffPo: So the three we have to watch out for are Romney, Perry and Bachmann. All three of them are scary and can pose a possible […]
