Seven Takeaways From Arizona And Michigan

Washington Post Provides Religious Test For Santorum

I’d be nice if some liberal somewhere actually read the Constitution now and then (WP) That Mr. Santorum believes he has the standing to declaim on the rightness of Mr. Obama’s faith, and whether it is sufficiently Bible-based, is in itself disqualifying. Funny how Obama’s religion wasn’t an issue in 2008, despite sitting in the […]

James Inhofe: Climate Realists Have Beaten Warmists On Cap And Trade

But, to my way of thinking, Realists have to keep the fight up against the Warmists, who will keep attempting to enact their legislation and regulation. I once asked Ed Morrissey, back when he was still at Captain’s Quarters, why he bothered exposing the 9/11 Truthers, since they were basically wackjobs and conspiracy nuts. He […]

Cantor And Fincher Triple Dog Dare Obama With JOBS Act

Late Monday night, an opinion piece by GOP Representatives Eric Cantor and Stephen Fincher was published at The Politico, highlighting the GOP’s JOBS Act. After a bit of background into the importance of small businesses in the jobs market, and the regulations and red tape that block them (and the pair avoid playing the Blame […]

Remember The Meme About Santorum Being “Anti-Women”?

How’s that working out? (Washington Post) Over the past several weeks, Republicans have watched squeamishly as presidential contender […]

Ron Paul Would Consider Judge Napolitano As V.P.

As Jonn Lilyea points out, this should be a nail in Paul’s coffin (WND) Paul was asked the question about whom he would like on a White House ticket with him at a recent public meeting, and he said, “One time somebody asked me who I’d have to consider and the name Judge Napolitano jumps […]

Anyhow, it came and went, and Politico’s Maggie Haberham breaks it down with six takeaways 1.

Excitable Jen Rubin: Is Santorum The Sharon Angle Of 2012?

With friends like this, who needs enemies? Jen Rubin starts off her article with a mention of an unnamed and completely anonymous Republican Senator “quoted” in an ABC article saying Santorum would lose 35 states, then on to another article using another anonymous “tippy top” Republican discussing the need for another candidate if Santorum wins […]

Will Women Vote For Rick Santorum?

That’s the question The Politico is asking Democrats have an unexpected new foil in their effort to label the GOP as hostile to women: Rick Santorum. After hammering away for a year at the message that Republicans are indifferent to women’s health and economic well-being, President Barack Obama’s party has been handed a nearly perfect […]
