To be perfectly honest, I’m not crazy about any of the Republicans running for president. I still think Mitt Romney has the best chance to beat President Obama, but I also think he’s one of those rich guys who’s embarrassed about being rich. Rick Santorum is a train wreck. He blames the media for bringing…
By now we all know that the candidate who four years ago told us he would bring us together has become the president who will run for re-election by trying to drive us apart.

Against Mitt Romney. “Real conservatives” never liked Mitt and never will. They say he’s not a principled conservative. They’re right. They see him as a “Massachusetts moderate” which is…
We’ve been hearing a lot this campaign season about “conservative principles.” Some of the tea party conservatives held out on the payroll tax bill because it was only a short-term fix and didn’t make economic sense.
