Romney’s Speech
Absolutely spectacular.
I can’t think of another way to put it.
Mike Huckabee is Inhumane
He wants to punish children because of their parents’ sins. He is not in favor of giving Pell grants to illegal immigrants.
Kudos to Stephanopoulos for bringing this up.
What would make me support Giuliani?
A two-man race with Mike Huckabee.
The Candidates
Summarized in one phrase each…
Classic!
Apocalypse now?
I agree with Maureen Dowd.
Most of the time, Barack Obama seems like he’s boxing in the wrong weight class. But Monday in Fort Dodge, Iowa, he delivered an unscripted jab that was a beaut.
At a news conference, the Illinois senator was asked about Hillary Clinton’s attack on his qualifications. Making an economic speech in Knoxville, [...]
Some liberals don’t “get” religion; Exhibit A
Michelle Cottle over at the TNR blog The Plank decries a church sign she saw this week.
But she completely misses the point!
On the way, I passed this United Methodist church with a sign out front boldly proclaiming:
Experts built the Titanic.
Amateurs Built the Ark.
Whatever your thoughts on biblical literalism, this is a tiresome sign of [...]
With friends like these…
Fred Thompson gets slammed by some of his congressional supporters.
Several House Republicans who endorsed Fred Thompson for president now say that they are frustrated with what they view as an apathetic campaign, and at least one regrets having committed to the former Tennessee senator.
“I think he’s kind of done a belly flop,†said an estranged [...]
Krugman vs. Krugman
Brilliant piece by Ruth Marcus.
Game. Set. Match.
The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy is back!
Vote for Hillary to fight against the tired old tactics of blaming political opponents for your problems the Republican attack dogs.
Mark Hemingway puts foot in mouth…
…and apparently thinks that his knee may be tasty.
The back story:
Romney was targeted by weird anti-Mormon calls that I mentioned before.
So Señor Hemingway finds that the company doing the calls is headquartered in Utah (they have call centers across the country), used to have a Mormon boss (not one current board member is Mormon), ergo [...]
Funniest. Political Ad. Ever.
More on Chuck Norris “facts.”
Here we go…
Let the Mormon bashing begin.
In an apparent push poll, a research firm has called Iowa Republicans this week praising John McCain and critcizing Mitt Romney and his Mormon faith.
An individual in Manchester, Iowa, contacted me on Wednesday night saying he received a call with information about McCain’s military service and anti-spending record.
Then there [...]
Pat Robertson Hates War Heroes, Actors and Mormons
That is the only conclusion I can draw from his idiotic endorsement of Rudy Giuliani. If there is anyone running for president this year, Democrat or Republican, who embodies the exact opposite of everything the Christian right (supposedly) stands for, it is Giuliani.
Why do you endorse a pro-choice, pro-gay-rights, third-marriage, bad dad when you [...]
loose change 9/11 conspiracy explained
Welcome to the Unfastened Coins website. This site is dedicated to
exposing the truth about the government’s involvement in the sinking
of the Titanic. Specifically, that they did it (and by “they” I mean
Jews).

Interesting point of view…
The most important (moral) issue of our time is not abortion, but the national deficit/debt. So says Tom Coburn:
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said Congress’s deficit spending has become a moral issue surpassing abortion because it saddles future generations with massive debt before they’re born.
“The greatest moral issue of our time isn’t abortion, it’s [...]
