Why Does DC Fund TX?

by Smitty Tina Korbe at HotAir on Rick Perry: Incidentally, this is one of the things I most respect about Rick Perry: He is willing to forgo federal funds, recognizing that federal dollars always come with strings attached. In the chronic case, are not the 57 states the horse, and the federal government the cart? […]

Did Somebody Hear a Dog Whistle?

Far be it from me to go around willy-nilly accusing people of anti-Italian prejudice, just because they don’t support Rick Santorum for President, as all intelligent, honest and courageous people must. It would be an unfair accusation to imply that Santorum’s critics are prejudiced against Italians, you see, so long as we acknowledge the obvious possibility […]

Two Reasons VP Rand Paul Isn’t A Bad Idea

by Smitty Bill Quick floats an intriguing question: So, tell me….would putting Rand Paul on his ticket as Veep make Mittens Romneycare more attractive to you? Why?

I’VE BEEN BLINDED BY HATE!

So says Bill Quick at Daily Pundit, who says I’m “spouting arrant hooey” in observing that Newt Gingrich’s campaign is doomed. Quick says my “visceral hatred of Gingrich” accounts for my hooey. Even if accurate, this accusation completely misses the relevant point that Newt’s campaign faces financial ruin after Tuesday’s double defeats in Mississippi and Alabama. […]

Rick Santorum for President Because …

. . . he really brings out the crazy-talk at MSNBC: Lawrence O’Donnell: “Is anything surprising to you in this result so far?” Mark Thompson: “No, not at all. When Rick Santorum first announced he was running for President, in his announcement speech, he was criticizing President Obama for saying America wasn’t as great as […]

A Santorum Miracle? ‘So Be It,’ Says Mitt

“Romney campaign says losing nomination would take ‘act of God’” — MSNBC, March 7 “Senator Santorum is at the desperate end of his campaign . . . He’s far behind in the delegate count, far behind in the popular vote count. If you look at the math, it’s a very difficult road for him.” — […]
