Obama’s Losing to Romney Among Women; Same Sex Marriage a Losing Issue

| May 14, 2012 | 3 Comments

I’ll preface any comments I make about the CBS poll that was just released today that it is early and could change, but I found it very interesting especially after Democrats have accused Republicans for declaring a war on women.  Not only is Mitt Romney leading President Barack Obama among all voters 46% to 43%, [...]

The White House today touted President Barack Obama’s revelation in an interview with ABC News.  President Obama announced, "I think same sex couples should be able to get married."  He went on to say… I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and [...]

Bachmann Breaks FAMiLY Leader Vow Made Before God, Endorses Romney. Will Santorum Follow Suit?

  Back in July, I challenged Christians and other Republicans to ask Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum whether they would actually keep the FAMiLY Leader vow they made before God not to endorse or support any GOP candidates who did not make the vow, such as Mitt Romney. Here is the vow that citizens were [...]

Republicans Encouraging GOP Voters to Vote Twice for Romney? (Why Once is One Too Many)

People say this to me all the time (well, not all the time): Not voting for Mitt Romney for U.S. president is really voting for Barack Obama; that is, staying home on election day (or voting a third party) counts as a vote for Obama. Where does this idea come from? Let’s turn it around a moment. [...]

Mormonism is in the news like never before. The third biggest talker in the Land, Glenn Beck is a Mormon. The presumed GOP nominee for president, Mitt Romney is a Mormon.

Dozens of them criss-cross the state, meeting us in diners and living rooms and on Main Streets all over our Granite State. After the primary, we’re left in relative peace until the next go-‘round. Here we are, [...]

If Obama is Worse Than Hitler, Does That Make Romney Like Karl Binding?

| April 27, 2012 | 3 Comments

Comparing American presidents with German National Socialist Adolph Hitler is hardly new. Even Harry Truman, the first U.S. President elected after Hitler had died, has been compared with the mass murdering dictator. The analogy is so often infused into arguments, its effectiveness as a rhetorical device is almost nil. And the metaphor or simile is [...]

It’s a President Eat Dog World

We got to hear about Mitt Romney’s 1983 episode of traveling with his dog’s crate on top of the family car – with his dog in it.  Now conservatives respond in kind, and I find it *amazing* that the media didn’t grab hold of this back in 2008.  Jim Treacher reminded us of this little [...]
