This hits Newt hard on his global warming ad with Nancy Pelosi, his lucrative health care lobbying, and his numerous flip-flops on a wide variety of issues. The irony, of course, is that Ron Paul has also been guilty of serial hypocrisy. I guess it takes one to know one, eh? [ht Spectacle Blog]
As a rule, I don’t watch debates moderated by MSM hacks. The questions are always rehashed DNC talking points, and they are often just plain dumb. A classic example was provided during last night’s GOP debate by Maria Bartiromo: You have all said that you will repeal President Obama’s health care legislation. Down the line, [...]
According to a new poll from CBS News, Herman Cain has “the Big Mo,” as the senior Bush famously phrased it. A couple of weeks ago he was in the caboose with Ron Paul, et al. Now he’s tied with the establishment’s favorite candidate (and sure loser), Mitt Romney: Herman Cain has moved into a tie [...]
Ron Paul has released the following attack ad against Rick Perry, in which he depicts himself as a Reagan Republican and Perry as a Gore-supporting Democrat. Watch it and then I’ll explain how it exposes the essential hypocrisy of “Doctor No”: Did you notice how the ad shows shot after shot of the good doctor posing with Reagan [...]
The GOP establishment is uncomfortable with Rick Perry. Few have openly attacked him, with the notable exception of Karl Rove, but it’s pretty obvious that most Republican insiders would rather have Romney than Perry as the GOP standard-bearer in 2012. Nonetheless Charles Krauthammer takes him very seriously: [Perry] has a simple message, which is: ‘Smaller [...]
During tonight’s GOP debate, Tim Pawlenty picked a fight with Michele Bachmann and got his ass kicked. Pawlenty is a closet RINO. Bachmann is tougher, more charismatic and a GENUINE conservative. She’s much better material for the White House than Pawlenty will ever be. [via Breitbart]
A lot of political professionals have dismissed Herman Cain, but another poll of actual voters suggests that the pros are wrong (again). The latest Public Policy Polling survey shows Cain tied for second among Iowa Republicans: Romney tops with 21% over Palin’s and Cain’s 15%, Gingrich’s 12%, Bachmann’s 11%, Pawlenty’s 10%, Paul’s 8%, and Huntsman with [...]
If you think Mitt Romney is the only Republican presidential hopeful with an affinity for laws forcing people to buy health insurance, think again. Tim Pawlenty never made Romney’s fatal error of signing a mandate into law, but it’s clear that he would have done so if given a chance. Here’s an audio of Pawlenty [...]
In this interview, Cain says he supports Rep. Paul Ryan’s plan to save Medicare “one hundred percent.� And, when the interviewer asked him why other GOP candidates (like Romney) are shrinking from the Ryan plan, he tells the obvious truth: The people who are backing away from Ryan’s plan, they simply lack courage … I don’t know [...]
Another inspiring speech by Herman Cain on tax policy, energy policy, immigration, social security and why he’s going to run for President: It’s not about us. It’s about the children and the grandchildren … We must be the defending generation.
