Excerpt: The Vagina Wars on Steroids: GOPs Messaging War on the 99%

He who controls the debate, no matter how ludicrous, wins the election. It’s insane thought made mainstream that summarises the Republican/GOP’s strategy in this 2012 Presidential election campaign. Although the Republican Party has many faults, they will do everything in their power to convince you THEIR weaknesses pale in comparison to those of the Democrats. [...]

How was something as serious as determining the next President reduced to an episode of “I’m a Celebrity Politician, Get Me Out of Here!”? It’s ESPN’s fault! This election is a [...]

The GOP Ticket in 2012: Romney-Rubio

Since my New Year’s prediction that Obama would select Hillary Clinton for his running mate in 2012 (and Joe Biden would become Secretary of State), I’ve been swamped by requests for my GOP prediction. Here goes. You can forget the caucuses and early primaries. Mitt Romney will be the nominee. Republicans may be stupid but [...]

$2.5 Million Per Vote? Romney’s 8-Vote Iowa ‘Mandate’ Caucus Victory

$2.5 Million Per Vote? Romney’s 8-Vote Iowa ‘Mandate’ Caucus Victory

As CNN pundit James Carville opined about last night’s Iowa GOP Caucus winner Willard Mitt Romney, “there was nobody that raised more money to less effect, ever.” Last night 122,200 Republicans had to show a government issued ID and register as Republican to vote in Iowa’s GOP caucus or else they would not be allowed [...]
