This edition of Winners and Losers is sponsored by the Awesome Sports Analogy of the Week: Herman Cain is the Tim Tebow of politics. All he does is win, yet everyone seems to doubt his future potential to succeed at the next level. Pretty good, huh? Now on to the weekly list.
WINNERS:
The Peter G. Peterson Foundation - The non-partisan Peter G. Peterson Foundation absolutely stole the show from the Presidential candidates at the Bloomberg Republican Debate this week. Their clever and piercing commercials, featuring young children explaining economic principles and chastising the older generations for the mess left them, were the
The Union Involvement in the Occupy Protests
by T Akery October 19th, 2011 | Political Opinions
What is becoming abundantly clear after weeks of protesting is that the Unions have begun taking advantage of the protestors. While no one is disputing the right to actually protest, the involvement of the Unions can only spell trouble for the Occupy movement. It is not that they are providing supplies or even hiring people to help protest. What the Unions want is much more transparent.
They want people to like them. Yes, they are taking advantage of the protestors as a way to boost themselves in public opinion. The Unions have been taking a big hit in the

Debate Spotlight: October 11, 2011
by Eric M. Blake October 17th, 2011 | Conservative Considerations, Presidential Election
This week, I couldn’t help but wonder if the debate schedulers were trying to mess with viewers. The debate was broadcast on Bloomberg TV. Yeah, I know…I’ve never really heard of it, either. I don’t think my cable even has it—which is why I had to watch it online.
Anyway, the chief moderator of this round-table was Charlie Rose (pictured) —who’s at his best when he’s interviewing Quentin Tarantino on what makes for good cinema. (Pull it up on YouTube; it’s good.) Here…well, he was better, at least, than Karen Tumulty—her first question, about Evil-Greedy-Wall-Street-Bankers, was very leading, and very

Williams & Wall Street
by Ronald A. Rowe October 12th, 2011 | General Politics, Political Opinions, Winners & Losers
Are you ready for some… Hitler analogies? Apparently, America is not. Check out how that faux pas earned a spot on our Loser list, plus a whole bunch more in this week’s edition of Winners and Losers:
Winners:
Occupy Wall Street –
Somehow a dozen goofy college kids hanging out in a park near Wall Street has developed into a well-financed Left-wing answer to the Tea Party. You might think that Occupy Wall Street’s attempt to overtake the Brooklyn Bridge was a failure, but it was not. There’s nothing a radical Leftist enjoys more than suffering

Why “Occupy Wall Street” Is Seriously Misguided
by Eric M. Blake October 10th, 2011 | Conservative Considerations, Political Opinions
By now, you’ve doubtless heard of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement. A group of people have basically organized around the Street to give Corporations the what-for—now, it’s apparently spreading around the nation, as they protest…protest what?
Now, let me explain why I’m asking this: Even the protestors don’t know. Well, a lot of them claim to know—but even then, it’s a classic case of vague, undefined answers, which turn out more often than not to be typical Leftist slogans— defenders' claims to the contrary notwithstanding. (Note that the protest actually started as a Communist-anarchist get-together. It was after the first few
