CNN Debates at Reagan Library
This was basically a sham. We got, literally, 10 minutes of McCain and Romney arguing over semantics. Whether or not Romney used the word “timetable” as a reference to troop withdrawel or a reference to milestones. Is that really what the debate is about? I could have sworn I was watching two high school girls [...]
Why Mitt’s Religion Speech is Shortsighted
Mitt Romney has painted himself into a little bit of a corner by hyping up the “religion speech” and creating a buildup.  I only see a few possible outcomes… 1) The speech sucks. All the buildup was for nothing. No one cares, and everyone walks away saying, “that’s it?” 2) The speech effectively conveys the point that [...]
Ron Paul at the CNBC Michigan Debate
Here are all the Ron Paul clips merged together… [youtube TgNLFtYoPAo] I didn’t get to watch this one because of work and rugby. Great answers on our monetary policy, and one of the best quotes ever…. “Why don’t we just open up the Constitution and read it?!” Did Mitt Romney really say that he would [...]
Post New Hampshire Debate Thoughts
At this point, I’m happy for Ron Paul to stay in the race for no other reason than how much it annoys Sean Hannity that he always win the post debate polls. The only way Hannity could possibly be more of a nuisance would be if he changed his last name to Clinton. I’ll have [...]
Big Hole in the Universe
From Space.com… The hole is nearly a billion light-years across. It is not a black hole, which is a small sphere of densely packed matter. Rather, this one is mostly devoid of stars, gas and other normal matter, and it’s also strangely empty of the mysterious “dark matter” that permeates the cosmos. Other space voids [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part IV
McCain’s answer on Vice-Presidential powers was actually pretty funny. “Only one President.” That is a strong answer. Guiliani sounds like he’s pretty comfortable with Cheney’s roll, and Romney is defending G.W. Bush’s use of Cheney, saying it is entirely up to him. If I were President, I’d have the Vice President make sure that I [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part III
It’s funny that Romney talks about speaking softly and carrying a big stick, because I was just about to say that he sure is using a low and soft voice when speaking about our military might. “We were here…they attacked us.” Half right…we were here, and there. I think Tancredo wants to protect this country? [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part II
Getting a new post going here since they’ve decided to move to domestic issues. Huckabee is now in favor of nationalized health care. Why can’t this just be left up to the individual states? Huckabee buddy, I hate to tell you this, but there is way more money in illness than there is in health [...]
Blogging The Iowa Debate Part I
I DVR’d it, so I’m a little behind. First of all…does anyone actually believe that Fred Thompson is going to run? I just don’t see it happening. Romney won’t address anything in Brownback’s ad, just gives examples that contradict it. It sounds like he may be personally in pro-choice, but governs as pro-life. “I changed [...]
So Just What is Government Health Care?
Mitt Romney isn’t in favor of government health care. He doesn’t want the government to pay for people’s health care. He wants you to choose your own private insurance plan (from a select few approved by the government), and the government can then subsidize it. You see the difference? Through subsidies, he will be able [...]
