It’s always the “low-level” peon’s fault, isn’t it? When Democrats get caught red-handed abusing government powers and bullying their political enemies small and large, nobody at the top knows nuttin’. The buck stops…in the janitors closet or something. Here’s what I know: While they pretend to champion privacy rights, top left-wing operatives have routinely ransacked… Read more »
Remember when Obama crusaded against Medicare fraud and vowed to crack down aggressively on scammers who’ve bilked the program out of an estimated $90 billion? Like Archie and Edith Bunker used to sing: Those were the daaays. While Democrats pretend to protect the elderly and disabled, leaders of the People’s Party have pocketed gobs of… Read more »
Speaker John Boehner finally declared this week that Obama’s goal over the next few years is to “annihilate” the GOP. Wow, he finally figured that out. And to reporters about his ticket’s defeat in November, Rep. Paul Ryan stated that there was a failure to turn potential Republican voters out — again, another “ah ha”… Read more »
Small minds always leap to the answers given the last time around, which is probably why Maxine Waters keeps getting re-elected. But the last time is not necessarily the same as this time. A terrorist attack is not the same as the Cold War, a war in Afghanistan is not the same as a war… Read more »
In the aftermath of the re-election of Obama, conservatives searched the heavens and the earth for answers. Some suggested that Mitt Romney lost because Republicans didn’t reach out more to Latino voters; some suggested that Romney lost because his “get out the vote” system fell apart on Election Day.

Isn’t it tragically ironic that the man who rode the perfect storm into public office on the horse of national unity has now perfected the politics of division so spectacularly that he won re-election despite the worst record in decades? For when you sift through the rubble from the Republican Party’s 2012 nuclear catastrophe, you… Read more »
Has the nation gone irreversibly blue? Did intraparty disunity sabotage Mitt Romney’s presidential quest? Or is there some other explanation for the nation’s re-election of a president with the worst record in decades? I received an email from a brilliant conservative friend who wonders whether Republicans can ever win another election and thus whether the… Read more »
We spent billions of dollars and billions of words on an election to switch from Obama, a Democratic Senate and a Republican House to Obama, a Democratic Senate and a Republican House. Every election predictor was wrong, except one: Incumbents usually win. Republicans have taken out a sitting president only once in the last century,… Read more »
Wednesday turned out to be a bad day for investors Betting on a Mitt Romney win. With Romney and Obama virtually neck and neck going into Tuesday’s election, traders said that many investors had bets aimed at capturing any rise in stocks should Romney pull out a win.
