Santorum: The ‘Least Worst’ Candidate?

Lisa Graas makes an interesting argument about the way voters are manipulated with news about polling. Read the headline and first two paragraph of a NewsMax article Monday: Rasmussen Poll: Gingrich, Romney Strongest to Beat Obama Voters are evenly divided over whether Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney would provide President Barack Obama with the strongest […]

Funniest Thing on the ‘Net Today

And it’s not just this sentence: “Generally women recoil from the power of my Intense Drifter Staredown, but you held firm, unafraid. . . .” You’ve got to read the whole thing, honest.

They Told You If You Voted for John McCain, Right-Wingers Would Threaten to Lynch Black Men …

. . . and they were right! OK, that’s not likely to get me a “Heh.” Professor Reynolds was featuring a Matt Welch Reason TV video about President Obama’s 2008 campaign promise of a “net spending cut,” and made a dry jest: By the end, we may see profligate politicians hanging from lampposts.  But there’ll […]

And the dramatic parallel is almost […]

The leftists, internationalists, and other creeps who have veto power in our nation’s governance just refuse to let us do so. The snarky reply is that, sure, you can roll over anyone you like, but can you send enough […]

Guess Who Says, ‘Santorum’s Time’?

Don Surber, “The Pro From Poca” : The biggest beneficiary of Herman Cain’s decision to pull the plug on his campaign on Saturday was Rick Santorum, who is the last conservative standing as the Republican Party offers the Tea Party crowd their choice of RINOs. . . . Need I remind people that at this […]
