It’s Time For The Republican DREAM Act To Pass »
(Jim Clark) – Now that it looks to be clear sailing for Mitt Romney to get the GOP presidential nomination, it’s also time to look past the arguments that dominated the GOP primary/caucus fights and formulate a winning policy position for the November election. President Obama’s pronouncements from his trip to Central America signal that he is again going to make immigration reform a major issue of this campaign. Translation: Having promised, as a candidate [...]
Obama’s Grasp Of Reality Thin And Slipping »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – I’m not like Rush Limbaugh. No matter how much I disagree with a sitting President, I would never wish for his failure in public. In fact, I said on January 20, 2009 and still believe that anybody who watched the inauguration and didn’t have just a little bit of a lump in their throat just doesn’t understand that America truly is the land of unlimited opportunity. But I’m not going [...]
Army of Corrupt Obama Backers Simply Marching Under a New Flag »
(Thomas Mitchell/4THST8 Mitt Romney apparently is making hay in a TV ad over the single ethics violation the Democrats could nail on Newt Gingrich — whether a college course he was teaching was advancing his partisan goals. It’s sort of like concentrating on the mote in one eye and ignoring the beam in another. There’s more than one way to advance one’s political goals. Newt’s penny-ante course is one. Obama’s million-dollar extortion to fund his [...]
The GOP Race Today – Who’s Up? Who’s Down? Who’s Done? »
(Roger Stone/The Stone Zone) – Running for the President of the United States is not a sprint; it’s a marathon. General Dwight Eisenhower said: “Plans are worthless but planning is indispensable.” Mitt Romney has meticulously planned his path to the White House. While his newest challenger Rick Santorum has been methodical, patient and hardworking, his campaign is still being run by the seat of his pants. While Santorum’s sprint in Iowa is remarkable, it is [...]
GOP Candidates’ Tax Proposals Deserve A Closer Look »
(Victor Joecks/NPRI) – In 2010, Americans spent 6 billion hours, which is approximately 8,800 lifetimes, and $480 billion doing their taxes. This represents a huge deadweight loss — time and money wasted jumping through government-mandated hoops — for individuals and America’s economy. It’s also why, regardless of how much how you think the federal government needs to collect in taxes, it is urgent that the federal government reform the way it collects taxes. Every major [...]

Tonight’s Debate – 10 Things to Watch For »
(David Mansdoerfer) – Tonight, Republican presidential candidates will take center-stage in a debate at the Reagan Library hosted just 20 minutes from my Alma Mater – Pepperdine University. For the most part, this debate will feature many of the same questions and participants as the last two. However, newly minted front-runner Gov. Rick Perry will be making his first debate appearance. That, more than any other reason, will make me turn in tonight. Some things [...]
Democrat-Speak Alive And Well In Reid »
(Lori Piotrowski) – Reid doesn’t think much of Romney, who frequently leads the Republicans in the 2012 polls. On the other hand, he has high praise for Pawlenty, who just dropped out of the race. Bachmann? She doesn’t stand a chance. Would you have expected other opinions from Nevada’s leading Democrat? This morning’s Review-Journal article quoted Reid on a variety of topics, of which the presidential race was only one. He talked, too, about the [...]
