There's nothing like a good conspiracy theory to get your day going. So without further introduction, let's jump right to our first winner...
WINNERS:
The Romney-Paul Conspiracy Theory
You've probably heard it by now: the real reason that Ron Paul has been so harsh on Rick Santorum and so chummy with Mitt Romney is that Romney bribed him. In exchange for Paul's explicit support, the theory goes, Romney will name Rand Paul, Ron's son, as his running mate. This theory gets a nod as a Winner this week, not because there's a shred of truth to it, but because it is

Birth Control, Religion and Health Insurance
by Jessica B. February 28th, 2012 Political Opinions
In a much needed break from this election actually dealing with real issues like the economy, the wars, civil rights or anything that people might really have a vested interest in, we have, this month been sent back in some kind of time warp to where birth control is some how the enemy and something every politician has an opinion on. Not even something as understandably divisive as abortion, but simple birth control.
Suddenly, religious organizations that run businesses such as hospitals and schools have decided they don’t want to foot the bill for their employees’ immoral behavior. And thus,

Rick Santorum and the Culture War
by Eric M. Blake February 27th, 2012 Conservative Considerations, General Politics, Republican Reflections
I’ve been reading all the bashing of Rick Santorum on social issues lately, and it’s been pretty hilarious: “Santorum’s a radical Christian who opposes fundamental freedoms in the United States and elsewhere!” “Santorum’s number-one priority is what we’re looking at on a computer screen!” “Santorum thinks that God needs to be in everyone’s business 24/7!” “Santorum wants to undo all the progress we’ve made since the '50s!” “Santorum wants to appoint an Attorney General to make sure that federal obscenity laws are enforced—”
Um…why shouldn’t laws be enforced? Isn’t that the Constitutional point of a president—to “take Care that the Laws be

Santorum Does the Time Warp
by Jason Lightner February 24th, 2012 Independent Ideas
This week I have but one question to ask:
Why, in the name of God, does Rick Santorum care so much about other people's sex lives? In a way, I've kind of answered my own question there. It's this ridiculous notion that, somehow, God needs to be in everyone's business 24/7, telling people what to do and who to screw. For those who still ignorantly believe that the Pledge of Allegiance is evidence enough that we are a Christian nation and need to be run as such, I'd like to point out that the line "under God" was not added to

Anything Other than Whitney Houston
by Ronald A. Rowe February 22nd, 2012 General Politics, Winners & Losers
Another week, another batch of winners and losers from the world of politics.
WINNERS:
President Obama
Another week gone by and the Republicans are no closer to choosing a candidate to oppose the President. A few months ago he looked like a dead duck. There was no way he could be reelected. The economy is still in the toilet, Obama still hasn’t delivered on any of his campaign promises, and his go-to excuse of blaming President Bush is wearing thin. But none of that matters if the GOP can’t find somebody – ANYBODY – that they can agree on. President Obama's ticket
