Nevada GOP Convention: Dispatch From The Front »
(Chuck Muth) – I know revolutions can be ugly, but the theater of the absurd on display yesterday at the Nevada Republican Party convention in beautiful, downtown Sparks, Nevada took banal inanity to the extreme. Indeed, even a poor, innocent hotdog vendor became a casualty of the Russell Crowe Convention…where the Ron Paul-aligned delegates insisted on fighting over EVERYTHING. Loudly. Often angrily. Indeed, one of the first orders of business was forcing a vote on [...]
Godfather Of Conservatism Calls On Newt To Drop Out Of Race »
(Roger Stone/The Stone Zone) – When the history of American Conservatives is written, it should be noted the second most influential man in terms of the Conservative Movement and country after Ronald Reagan, is direct communication wizard and conservative activist Richard A. Viguerie. If William F. Buckley Jr. is the Godfather of the modern Conservative Movement, Richard Viguerie has been it’s communications and fundraising spark-plug. Viguerie developed sophisticated direct mail techniques, which, in a day [...]
Democrats Discriminate by Relegating People to Niches »
(Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) Democrats discriminate. And I mean that in the most pejorative sense of the word. Not in the sense that one has discriminating tastes — prefers the symphony to heavy metal. I mean Democrats herd people into niches and classify and identify and make assumptions about people, not by their level of discernment and powers of rational thought and deduction, but by their skin color, age, gender and ethnicity. In their worldview a [...]
President Obama, Not Governor Romney, Hurt Nevada’s Economy »
NN&V Exclusive (Gary Shapiro) – Now that he’s the frontrunner, Mitt Romney is beginning to feel the Democratic knives in his back as he travels around the country. Exhibit A is an opinion piece by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others in the Las Vegas Sun that came out after Romney’s Florida victory and before the Nevada caucus, blasting Romney for his “reckless ideas” and “out-of-touch vision” for Nevada. You can read my published [...]
A Solution For Romney’s Relatability Problem: Mascots »
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) – At least once a day I hear how Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney isn’t electable because he’s not down-to-earth. His hair’s too perfect. He’s too handsome. People can’t relate to him. Maybe what the candidate needs is a little humor. To lighten things up, I suggest that Mitt adopt a mascot a la college sports. Ohio State has Brutus Buckeye; UCLA has Joe Bruin; and Romney’s Brigham Young University has [...]
Gingrich and New Hampshire Endorsement »
(Rich Galen/Mullings.com) – The New Hampshire Union-Leader (neé Manchester Union-Leader) endorsed Speaker Newt Gingrich for President in the Republican primary which will be held there on January 10, 2012. This is no small deal for Gingrich because it is a legitimate endorsement from the daily newspaper of the largest city in the state. As I tweeted yesterday (follow me at @richgalen): Newspaper endorsements are like polls & poker: Winners whoop & holler. Losers say “Shut [...]
First Quarter Grades In For Republican Presidential Candidates »
(Jim Clark) – The Patriot Post (www.patriotpost.us) is an e-newsletter published by a non-partisan group, which is committed to restoration of Constitutional government, defending liberty and opposing economic collectivism as represented by President Obama and his leftist allies. As the GOP presidential debates continue there are, and will continue to be, bickering and unpleasant claims and charges between candidates. This has been, and will continue to be, followed by media stories trumpeting the discord. So [...]
Power To The People »
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) – “The voice of the people is more powerful than the voice of the media.” So began a teleconference with Herman Cain on Wednesday afternoon. “The media has said, and they’re trying to make, this is a two-person race. It’s not. It’s a three-person race.” Cain won the Florida straw poll, besting both Perry and Romney by nearly double. “Perry and Romney spent a considerable amount of money to influence the [...]
Romney’s Plan Strikes A Chord With Las Vegans »
NN&V Exclusive (Lori Piotrowski) – Business owners, attorneys, conservatives turned out to hear what Governor Mitt Romney had to say about America, jobs, and the economy Tuesday afternoon. They crowded into a garage/warehouse at McCandless International Trucking in North Las Vegas eager to hear what the presidential candidate would implement to turn around the economy.
