Conservative Racial Demagogues

While it could be said that I have a preoccupation with the correlation between conservatism and racism, I did not embark on the "article-ascertaining" process looking for something about the subject; it was on the front page theatlantic.com. What the author talks about is why conservative pundits/leaders receive liberal ire for saying racist things even though these same men claim to "not see race" when dealing with politics and why claiming that liberals are racists for "turning everything into a racial issue" is an invalid response to deserved criticism.

The Nonprofit 1 Percent

Article about ceos of nonprofit organizations and how they aren't so different from the ceos that movements like "Occupy" have villianized. These ceos have gone largely un-checked by public outcry, but maybe public outcry is short-sighted. The problem of wealth-division isn't just about lack of personal integrity, as the Occupy has claimed of the evil 1 percent. The problem might just be our economic structure, but not even altruists are immune to vastly unequal pay scales.

Santorum just misses having people to rant about

Another ignorant remark by Santorum directs a shot fired towards Obama, questioning why he's several thousand miles away while the Obamacare health care law debates begin.

Believe it or not, Ricky, there are responsibilities a President holds on a global scale and not just national. Attending a nuclear summit is one of them, and health care isn't going to mean squat when we're all filled with decaying atoms.

Obama isn't 'running away' from his health care reform. There are bigger issues at hand, and global peace is more important in the long run than a healthcare law. Not to say what's going on here isn't important, just putting things into perspective here.

Romney's gonna need another Etch-A-Sketch

In another unremarkable turn of events, candidate Mitt Romney throws himself at whatever sort of deluded leverage he can possibly find in order to slanderize Obama as well as to brush off that ever so growing larger dirt on his shoulder that is Santorum.

"I'm not going to worry too much about what Rick is saying these days," Romney said on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." "I know when you're falling further and further behind, you get a little more animated."

Right on, Mitt. You seem to be caught in the midst of some dramatic irony. In other news he went to go see the Hunger Games with his kids! In an actual cinema! He also likes to read books, for fun. What a family man.

The Common Sense Catholics

Although Santorum wears his religion on his sleeve Santorum is having a rough time winning over Catholic voters. When you read the article and look at the stats you may be surprised to see how much it has cost him not getting the catholic vote. Do you think that this sort of impact will be the death of Rick?

If Only He Could Shake His Comment Away

One of Romney's top advisers, Eric Fehrnstorm recently compared Romney's campaign to an Etch and sketch... you know one of those things two year olds use to draw random stuff then shake it up to erase it. Fehrnstorm recently said "Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign, everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch a Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again.” So far he has received tons of criticism for this comment. Do think this will have a impact on his chances on winning the presidential bid.

Seriously Santorum? Just get out.

I can only hope that the beautiful state of Pennsylvania does not give Santorum this win. If Pennsylvania gives in to this craze, then I have no hope, because we couldn't even re-elect him when he ran for Senator of Pennsylvania in 2006. This would actually make me want to cry if he won again.

Romney pulls through in Illinois

Well it looks like this guy isn't fooling. He hasn't fallen off yet, and he just keeps winning. Romney is making this hard for the more conservatives, but he finally showed them why they should vote for him, and that it's because he has the best chance in the presidential election. Can't wait to see how he pulls through.

Biden Giving Obama Some Free Candy

Biden...well, he feels that Santorum, Gingrich, and Romney are a threat to the middle class. To give any one of those men the presidency would lead the middle class to bankruptcy. We just need someone strong enough to defeat Obama...

Speak English Please

Santorum feels the need to say "Hey Puerto Speak English" . 81% of residents speak Spanish as the dominant language. The constitution doesn't say anything about not being allowed to bring about language requirements for states to be admitted"… How do you feel about this little dilemma..

Gas prices a drag on Obama's numbers

As gas prices begin to shoot up, Obama's ratings begin to plummet. Gas prices have gone up significantly in the past month and are predicted to continue going up. This obviously isn't a good sign going into the November election because, well, no one likes paying for gas. Will these energy problems be enough to sway voters away from Obama to the conservative side? We will see.

Gingrich should bow out, back Santorum

This is an opinion article that says that Gingrich should back out of the nomination. He's finished well behind Santorum and Romney in several caucuses, and even behind Ron Paul in a few. He's had a good run, but at this point it seems like he's just wasting people's time and money.

All Eyes On Ohio-- Andrea Marinelli


It all comes down to Ohio. No Republican has ever won the presidency without wining Ohio. Each candidate has a chance to gain delegates in one of the ten states voting on Super Tuesday. What will the results show?

Family Anguish for the Romney's-- Andrea Marinelli


Ron Paul is getting support in the Idaho caucuses. However, these supporters consist of distant relatives of Mitt Romney. Three fellow Romney's will be speaking on Ron Paul's behalf during the GOP caucuses. I sense some major family anguish in Mitt Romney’s household.

Super Tuesday: Not as super as in the past.

Super Tuesday is today, but there are only ten states voting, which is less then recent primaries. But that said, 10% of the delegates are being given out. Some of Romney's big loses are being brushed away because if his wins in Michigan, Arizona and Washington, and it will be interesting to see if he comes out of Super Tuesday on top.

Focus on Super Sunday

With Romney winning Michigan and Arizona, Ohio is a much needed win for Santorum. If Romney gets the win here then it will be a HUGE sweep for him. Santorum has done a lot of work in Ohio, so it should be a close race.
