Understanding The Current Primary
Read this entire piece by Jeff Lord at AmSpec. There is mush much wisdom in it. So much so, it's difficult to pull just one quote. How about what Gerald Ford thought of Ronald Reagan?
Writes DeFrank of what Ford really thought: Translation: The thought of Ronald Reagan becoming my party's nominee...
Video: Mitt “Frat Boy” Romney Doesn’t Look Very Presidential
I don't see a president here. I see a very small man, petty and vindictive after being rocked by losing South Carolina. Romney hasn't fought anyone on the issues. He dissembles when they come up. And we all know his vile attacks on the other candidates began all the way...
Hugh Hewitt Trapped By His Own Intellectual Inconsistency On Romney
I confess, it is somewhat fun watching Romney supporters twist themselves in knots in an effort to bolster the candidacy of Mitt Romney. Friend Hugh Hewitt has himself in a bit of a pickle given two of his columns. That, or he could drop Romney and endorse Santorum. Writes Hugh:
Why Romney Can’t Seal The Deal In Florida
The media and non-conservative outlets like NRO are going to try and spin Florida as, this primary is over. It's already beginning.
In a typical primary season, that might hold. This is not a typical primary. A month ago Romney was up huge in Florida. Within days, his numbers collapsed. Now, an...
Good Grief, Conservative Bloggers Are Lame
John Hawkins of RightWingNews has a poll out of Right-side bloggers. Contrast these two questions. What does it tell us? If the least conservative candidate, Romney is also viewed as the most electable, then these conservative bloggers (I didn't participate) don't even believe in what they purport to believe in...
Backlash: Reaganite Fla. Cuban Leader Backs Newt, Blasts Mitt For Distortions
I said early on, I thought it would be a bad idea for Romney to go where he now has. Not sure how much this tracks in Florida with the vote tomorrow, but a great many people are extremely angry over what Romney has been doing and it could still...
Based On Ed Morrisey’s View, Obama Wins
The main problem I have with Ed Morrisey's statement here is, there's no room for principle. Romney can't "out-slug" Newt, or Santorum, or even Ron Paul based upon principle, so he's resorted to destroying his opponents personally. He's even used his money to dishonestly claim the Reagan mantle, while stripping it...
Wake Up, Conservatives: Mitt Romney Is Running As A Leftist
Every once in a while, the dumb ass comes out in Stacy McCain. This is one of those times. He's either doing this as he thinks it benefits Santorum, or he's un-officially signed on with Team Mitt in his mind.
OK, so what’s Mitt’s secret? Let me put it in the simplest...
Mitt Romney’s Lack Of Character Revealed Out Of Desperation
Mitt Romney already had a reputation for piously standing at the podium, while his political henchmen engaged in a very nasty form of politics back in 2008. With Romney, one comes away with the impression that, as long as he can use personal, or political wealth to distance himself from the...
Conservatives Opposed To Mitt Romney In The General Election
You'll want to read this entire piece by Bill Jacobson.
If you asked me even a couple of weeks ago whether the Republican Party could heal from the wounds of this election cycle in time to unite against Obama, I would have said ”Yes.” I’m not so sure anymore.
That the Romney...
Rich Lowry Was 12 When Reagan Was Elected And It Shows
That NRO's Rich Lowry would follow up his ignorance and sloppy incompetence as an editor over the Abrams, Lord dust up with a childish petulance suggests his temperament hasn't changed much since he was 12 years old when former President Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980. Not only did he apparently...
Important Update: The Entire Gingrich Special Order NRO Used To Attack Newt
Update: While I continue to suggest people read it all and make up their own minds, I took a part from very early in to highlight in bold below. Now you tell me, was Newt criticizing Reagan, or members of the administration? More importantly, why did the editor of NRO, Rich...
