Why The GOP May Disintegrate</h1> <article> <h1>Why The GOP May Disintegrate</h1> <p>Michael — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:20:18 +0000</p> It’s no stretch to say that we suffer a leadership vacuum. While Obama’s personal ratings are not terrible, Congress’s ratings have remained among the worst since the start of the Financial Crisis. These ratings have not improved an iota once the Republicans took control of the House. The presidential race this year features one candidate [...] </article> <article> <h1>Why A Bloody Primary Could Help The GOP Win</h1> <p>Michael — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 04:00:55 +0000</p> Conventional wisdom is that the nastiness of the GOP primary is good for Obama and bad for the GOP. The reason being that it has divided the GOP party and exposed the weaknesses of all of the candidates, especially Romney. There is some truth to that of course. The main way the primary has hurt [...] </article> <article> <h1>Is Santorum The Real Deal Or Just The Latest Non-Romney?</h1> <p>Michael — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:09:45 +0000</p> It’s always been a two person race. First, it was me against Donald Trump, then it was me against Michele Bachmann, me against Newt Gingrich and now it’s me against Rick Santorum. Romney is dead-on in this quote; the race has always been him versus another potential front runner. In reality, the main challengers to [...] </article> <article> <h1>The GOP’s Stealth Move Rightward</h1> <p>Michael — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 04:42:30 +0000</p> So far, the GOP primary has been about one man: Mitt Romney. Predictably among a weak starting field, Romney started as the front runner. A few eager challengers have stepped up only to be vanquished later. The last remaining challenger is Rick Santorum. The former Pennsylvania Senator does not have any private life baggage (like [...] </article> <article> <h1>How The GOP Can Defeat Obama in 2012</h1> <p>Josh Painter — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 14:57:38 +0000</p> In 1992 incumbent president George H. W. Bush, despite enjoying relatively strong approval ratings as high as 89 percent right after the Gulf war, was deprived of a second term in large part thanks to one man, but it wasn’t Bill Clinton or H. Ross Perot. Although Perot’s independent effort did its damage, analysis of [...] </article> <article> <h1>Cornhucksters: Ethanol Salesmen Who Would Be President</h1> <p>Michael — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 17:59:26 +0000</p> In a National Review Online op-ed earlier this month, Katrina Trinko observed that four of the potential candidates for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination are stuck on ethanol: What kind of Republican supports high tariffs on imports, dubious green tax credits, and consumption mandates to prop up unprofitable environmental darlings? The ethanol-loving midwestern kind, especially [...] </article> <article> <h1>Midterms 2010: Some Takeaways</h1> <p>Michael — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 00:21:11 +0000</p> Democrats sustained an expected thumping on election day. With the dust settled, Republicans will take the House with a clear majority, gaining 65 seats, the largest swing since 1948. This is a bigger swing than the historic 1994 elections. In the Senate, Republicans gained 6 seats. Most seats up for grabs were Republican seats, which [...] </article> <article> <h1>Ready or not, here comes E15</h1> <p>Josh Painter — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 20:04:26 +0000</p> When Ronald Reagan said, “Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem,” he wasn’t just kidding. Reagan’s humorous quips worked so well because there was a lot of truth in them. Case in point: The Obama administration has put its stamp of approval on increasing the amount of ethanol used in [...] </article> <article> <h1>Republicans Poised For Big Gains</h1> <p>Michael — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:43:18 +0000</p> It is no secret that the midterm elections will be favorable for the Republicans. The midterm election for a first-term president almost always goes towards the other party. But this year will be a particularly big swing, after two elections of big Democratic gains. It is also no secret why the Republicans will win: the [...] </article> <article> <h1>It’s not your father’s NASA anymore</h1> <p>Josh Painter — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:18:38 +0000</p> In the 1980s, the geniuses at General Motors wanted to change consumer perceptions of their Oldsmobile brand. Fearing that Olds was being hurt by its image as an old and stuffy car, the marketing department launched an ad campaign boasting that the late-80s models were “not your father’s Oldsmobile.” Ironically, the image GM was trying [...] </article> <article> <h1>Deflation Cometh</h1> <p>Michael — Tue, 25 May 2010 04:33:54 +0000</p> Until the recent stock market correction, most people viewed the financial crisis as a thing of the past. The question became ‘how slow or fast will the recovery be’ not ‘IF we will recover at all.’ There’s a few headwinds coming our way that could potentially lead to disinflation, or perhaps a full fledged double [...] </article> <article> <h1>The Patsy Generation: How The Government Sticks It To The Young</h1> <p>Michael — Wed, 12 May 2010 20:19:57 +0000</p> Patsy: [n] chump: a person who is gullible and easy to take advantage of wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn The men and women who braved the Great Depression and went on to fight World War II, ridding the world of the evils of fascism are known as the Greatest Generation.

The Republican governor, who has been in office for only 15 months, signed it. Now she’s enjoying an approval rating of 56 percent, a sixteen-point bounce, according to the most recent [...] </article> <article> <h1>Some Answers For Progressive Conservatives</h1> <p>Josh Painter — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 16:08:46 +0000</p> David Brooks is The New York Times’ idea of what a conservative should be, because, as the columnist explains, he is what he says is a progressive conservative. To across-the-board Reagan conservatives, the term progressive conservative is an oxymoron, but nevertheless Brooks has company at what he perceives as the center and correctly describes as [...] </article> </main></body></html>
