GOP Debate Analysis – Round 2
17 May 2007Sorry this has taken so long, I still have to make a living and the FairTax posts took some time too. For many two days later may be too late. Be that as it may, here is my take the debate Tuesday night. The first thing that struck me was the contrast between debate one [...]
FairTax Rally Criticisms
16 May 2007Let me preface this by saying I am not disgruntled. As I mentioned in the previous post, I thoroughly enjoyed the FairTax Rally and I complement the organizers. Having said that, I want to offer constructive criticism so the organizers can improve on their success. There were a number of things that could have easily [...]
SC FairTax Rally Highlights
16 May 2007Yesterday had so much to talk about that it’s difficult to sort it all out. Between the FairTax Rally and the GOP debate, I could write far more than most of you probably want to read. I’ve decided to break it all up into three posts. This post will deal with the FairTax Rally and [...]
Border Security Supported by Bigots
10 May 2007It’s been a while since I posted about Lindsey Graham, though you may notice the Lindsey Graham Watch link above. Long time readers know that I am no fan of Senator Graham. I worked for his election and I have been disappointed over and over ever since. Now there’s another idiotic statement coming from this [...]
GOP Debate Analysis – Round 1
3 May 2007The first GOP Presidential Debate is tonight and I’m blogging it as it happens. Unfortunately the debate is on MSNBC which completely befuddles me. I think the GOP should have demanded FOX News since the Dems refused to debate on that network. And, unfortunately, Hardball boob, Chris Mathews, is the moderator for this debate. Is [...]
Reid Between the Lines
21 April 2007Sorry but I stole that headline from Family Research Council. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has said the decision by the Supreme Court to uphold the federal partial birth abortion ban should have included O’Connor instead of Alito. The clear implication is that it would have been decided the other way under such circumstances. But [...]
A Glimmer of Hope
26 March 2007The midterm elections in November left many conservatives disappointed. The reaction of Republicans still in office turned disappointment into disillusionment for many of us. Now, with the current slate of Republican presidential candidates, we have been downright depressed. There hasn’t been a single candidate I could get excited about and most I couldn’t even hold [...]
Conservative John McCain?
3 March 2007It’s been a little while since I wrote a purely political post and now it is time. I received an email today from Bobby Harrell, Speaker of the House in the South Carolina Legislature. He was enthusiastic over John McCain’s win in the Spartanburg straw poll on Thursday. It seems that as of Thursday even [...]
Is God for a Minimum Wage Increase?
8 February 2007There is a blog that many Christians are probably unaware of. Its title is God’s Politics and its author is Jim Wallis. Wallis is a liberal who believes in using scripture to support his views. While I have no reason to think Wallis is less than sincere, I also strongly disapprove of his approach to [...]
Is the War in Iraq Worth Supporting?
22 January 2007Unless you live on a deserted island you are aware that 2/3 of American no longer support the war in Iraq. That coincided precisely with President Bush’s approval ratings which are the lowest of his presidency and one of the lowest of all time. For a multiplicity of reasons, Americans simply do not support the [...]
