Romney Busted? No, Obama

by Smitty (via JWF on Twitter) Well, Romney is at least showing interest in being busted: At an event in London, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said, “I’m looking forward to the bust of Winston Churchill being in the Oval Office again.” Romney’s trip to Ol’ Blighty might help to explain the attempt to play […]

A Series Of Substantive Presidential Debates #YouDidntBuildThat

by Smitty Three debates? That’s it? And only one for the Veep? The WSJ, formatting and emphasis from me: The first, which will focus on domestic policy, is set for Oct. 3 at the University of Denver in Denver, Colo., the city that hosted the 2008 Democratic convention. A second meeting in a town-hall format […]

Making ‘Anglo-Saxon’ Scandalous

The English-speaking world shares a culture as well as a language, and the term “Anglo-Saxon” has long been employed as a shorthand designation of this culture, for good or ill. But use of the term becomes a shocking scandal when it is employed by Republicans: As the Republican presidential challenger accused Barack Obama of appeasing […]

If Mitt Romney Used A Dog Whistle, Would A Bitch Hear It?

by Smitty (via American Glob) Test my logic. One can be fairly certain a lady like Andrea Mitchell is not a bitch; therefore, Romney’s use of ‘foreign’, which she clearly heard, must be something other than a dog whistle.

Axelrod’s Nixonian Manipulations: Tax Flap Is About Mitt’s Mormon Millions

Back in March, when the fight for the Republican Party nomination was still very much in doubt, I warned that the “electability” arguments made on behalf of Mitt Romney were apt to be falsified by a liberal media that would not hesitate to make Romney’s Mormonism an issue: If they can’t beat Romney with the […]

Romney Slams Obama: ‘An Upside-Down Philosophy That Does Not Comport with the American Experience’

Interviewed by Larry Kudlow on CNBC, Mitt Romney slams Barack Obama’s now-infamous “you didn’t build that” remark: KUDLOW: “Why do you think President Obama, what did he mean, if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build it, someone else made that happen? He claims it’s being taken out of context. What do you think it […]

Obama Campaign: Money for Nothing

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia A week ago, a Republican source pointed out that when the Obama campaign admitted its June fundraising fell short of Mitt Romney’s, they didn’t report their cash-on-hand total — an indication, the source suggested, that Team Obama’s spending was out of control. As I said, readers could “expect the Democrat freakout to intensify […]
