“…yet we crave the virtuosity of the Satriani elite.” Smitty makes an excellent metaphor to describe the difficulty of the Tea Party and the Conservative blogsophere vis-a-vis the GOP establishment and primary field. Never forget that the Ramones, and the Sex Pistols, and the Clash, and the Dead Boys, and everyone else wanted to sell records.… Read More “We Are the Ramones in All Their Egalitarian Glory…”
At RedState (h/t: Memeorandum) “Even if it really was Muslims who bombed the WTC in 1993, and not Mossad, it was still the Jews’ fault for being all Jew-y out there in Jew-land.” There are so many things about Ron Paul’s basic principles of governance that I do like. It’s a shame that he can’t extricate… Read More Ron Paul Channels Jimmy Carter
Don Surber is funny: (h/t: Insty) 20. From Rasmussen: “Romney 45%, Obama 39%.” They have been saying a generic Republican could beat him. They don’t get more generic than Mitt Romney. And as Ron Paul peaks, a great many people are going to find Romney’s very inoffensiveness preferable. I really hope Ron Paul doesn’t get the… Read More Ron Paul: The Not-Mitt to Defeat All Not Mitts
Ace remains a right-wing favorite for several reasons: his blog has a bracing, the-devil-with-you attitude which diverts nothing from it’s thoroughgoing geekiness, and his commenters, for sheer entertainment, may be the best in the blogosphere (so Breitbart thinks, anyway). But more than this, is Ace himself as a writer. He has a style equally laid-back and… Read More Ace of Spades Makes a Better Case for Rick Perry’s Candidacy Than Rick Perry Has Managed to, Thus Far…
It meets the same standard of proof. I am also told that Stacy McCain is willing to consider the idea, as long as it means Gingrich is not the nominee.
Methinks Newt is tired of being outflanked on the right: (h/t: Memeorandum) Then, in what amounted to a 35-minute seminar on constitutional history, Gingrich argued that the judicial branch has grown far more powerful than the nation’s founders ever intended and said it would be well within the president’s authority as commander in chief to… Read More Newt Reminds Us That There are Three Branches of Government
Anyone, it seems, can take a ride on the Not-Mitt Roller Coaster. It’s all pretty devestating, but here’s the twist of the knife: And no one seems to care about this, but as Ben Domench was noting yesterday on Twitter, Ron Paul’s posture as a “small government conservative” is a lie. While he makes sure… Read More Ace Cuts Ron Paul Into Tiny Little Pieces, Then Jumps on Them
Jeff Goldstein hits Mitt Romney on an oft-ignored weakness: judicial moderation. Statism is in the very strictest sense anti-Constitutional. Or, if you wish to be kind, extra-Constitutional, which really amounts to the same thing. The first step toward fixing a politicized judiciary is NOT to bracket political leanings when choosing justices. And that’s because such a… Read More A Constitution That Can Be Escaped is Not a Constituion at All.
…and they “have a professional obligation never to give a sucker an even break.” I think RS McCain may be on to something here. While one may doubt that this particular collection of alchies and junkies have any real desire to see Santorum propelled to the White House, the show must go on. Plus, Santorum’s… Read More In Case You Didn’t Know, Journalists are Carnies…
In an interview with the gang at Coffee & Markets (h/t: Memeorandum), Gingrich says something interesting with reference to the Paul Ryan business: The question was: if there’s a program that is very unpopular, should Republicans impose it? And my answer is no. When we passed welfare reform, 92% of the American people supported it,… Read More Newt Gingrich and the Kamikaze Presidency…
