OK, I admit that I was a little on the cynical side last week. So to make up for it I've actively tried to find more Winners than Losers this time around. It took a sometimes creative definition of Winner and more than a little bit of sarcasm, but I hereby present the Mostly-Winners edition of Winners and Losers.
WINNERS:
Dick Cheney
Former Vice President Dick Cheney got a heart transplant this week, supposedly from an anonymous donor. Pretty good for a 71-year-old with a 30 year+ history of heart attacks.
The Hunger Games
The books were beloved by more than just the

Never Let A Crisis…
by Eric M. Blake March 26th, 2012 | Conservative Considerations, General Politics, Political Facts
One of the things I don’t think I’ll ever get used to is the shameless tendency of the Left to try and exploit a tragedy. Timothy McVeigh? Oh, he was an extreme right-winger — Rush Limbaugh must’ve driven him to it! Paul Wellstone dies? For Paul Wellstone — let’s take the fight to the GOP, and take back Congress! 9/11? Bush should’ve seen it coming! No — scratch that — he was the one who did it: that’s right, 9/11 was an inside job! Katrina? It’s Bush’s fault — Dick Cheney blew up the levees, and “George Bush doesn’t
The Political Issue that Trumps Them All

The debate on birth control is headed to the court. The Supreme Court is about to deal with health care on March 26. But of all the political issues out on the table, there is one that trumps them all. It is gas prices. Yes, President Obama could face a defeat simply because the price of gas is too high for Americans.
Oil is one of those entities that everyone uses in some way or other. Its sheer flexibility has made it hard for the alternative energy sources to compete with it. As the price goes higher, the spending power

(A brief note: Faithful Camp Campaign followers may have noticed the clash another writer here seems to want to initiate with yours truly. I will make it a point, as I always have, to not dignify such by addressing him directly. Instead, in any conflict of opinion here, I've made it a point to invoke the facts as I see them—including, but not limited to, an article of my own regarding Rick Santorum, and the beginning of my last article—so as to challenge arguments on those grounds, rather than engage in dismissive name-calling. Let the readers read both. To
Party Line Winners and Losers
by Ronald A. Rowe March 14th, 2012 | Political Opinions, Presidential Election, Winners & Losers
The Winners and Losers are divided along party lines this time around. Sure, there were a few individual ups and downs. Republican Chris Christie seemed to be having a good time this week just being himself. But in the final analysis the Donkeys definitely came out better than the Elephants this week.
WINNERS:
The Democratic Party
What a coincidence - a pro-Obama movie and an anti-Palin (and by extension, anti-Republican) movie both coming out in an election year. What good fortune for President Obama and the Democratic Party that Hollywood is coming to the rescue before there's even a Republican nominee.
