November 30th, 2011 · No Comments

Just when you thought that things could not possibly get worse for Texas Governor Rick Perry after a series of painfully bad debate performances – particularly one where he failed to name the three government agencies that he would like to eliminate – the man opens his mouth yet again with another major gaffe.

November 20th, 2011 · No Comments

Ron Paul is unlikely to win the Republican nomination, but should he run as an independent in next fall’s election he would be the strongest independent candidate since Ross Perot in 1992. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll pegs the Texas Congressman’s support at 18 percent in a three-way race between himself, President Obama and Mitt [...]

Demanding an Efficient Government

November 17th, 2011 · No Comments

The Cain Train Wreck

November 14th, 2011 · No Comments

Herman Cain’s free fall is likely to continue after an embarrassing interview where he fumbled on a question about Libya. Even though four women have come out claiming that Cain had sexually harassed them (including an $80,000 settlement with two of the women), he appears to be in the race for the long haul, albeit [...]
