In my last post about the positive things Obama has done during his first three years, I got a great deal of response from both sides of the political coin, and that was good to see. But one thing that became evident in the comments I got was that a lot of us on the left view Obama as a compromiser, but those on the right do not. While I understand a lot of us have different base political views – I wonder how it is we can see the same thing so differently.
I need to point out that
Ron Paul Calls Gingrich a Chickenhawk
by Jason Lightner January 13th, 2012 | Independent Ideas, Presidential Election
I'd like to quickly direct your attention to a little video from the ABC Republican debate in New Hampshire. It involves two of my favorite politicians, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. You might be asking yourself "well, I get that Ron Paul is one of his favorites, but why Gingrich?"
It's simple, really. In any sane world, where media coverage and public opinion was based on verifiable truth instead of the constant manure that is spewed from the fat mouths of these disingenuous and corrupt career-politician, aristocratic, white-collar criminal sociopaths, Newt Gingrich would have been out on his keister a

Debatable Winners and Losers

The week was dominated by news from the Republican primary race. The kid gloves are off as we move from the “vote for me because…” phase to the “don’t vote for my opponent because” phase of the campaign. Who was up, who was down, and who dropped out this week? Read on.

Rick Santorum

Republican Party Not Divided
by T Akery January 10th, 2012 | Political Polls, Presidential Election
The primaries are always a time for predictions. This year one of those predictions is that the Republican Party will be divided after it is all over. However, whatever divisions the Republican party has will be resolved by the end of this year. That is because the Republican party will share one goal: vote President Obama out of office.
Right now, there is plenty of evidence that the party is divided. But after all, it is the primaries. There are a few candidates to choose from. While Mitt Romney has the slight advantage, not every Republican is keen on him

The Rise Of Rick Santorum
by Eric M. Blake January 9th, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, Presidential Election, Republican Reflections
To think that this time last month, he’d been all but written off as a non-factor in the race for the GOP nomination! And now…look at how far Rick Santorum has come: coming in second in the all-important Iowa Caucus (by a mere eight votes!), shooting up in the polls to second across the country, as a result.
Ron Paul’s been smearing him, of course—with ads to the effect that Rick’s lax on abortion (laughable, coming from a guy who’s said that abortion must be labeled a state issue unless and until a pro-life amendment is passed…), or weak on
