Debate Spotlight: The Grand Finale
by Eric M. Blake December 19th, 2011 | Conservative Considerations, Presidential Election, Republican Reflections
This is it. Donald Trump’s said his debate won’t happen — so the two debates last week were the final round before the primaries begin. This field has seen its casualties: The Don himself, Tim Pawlenty…and Herman Cain. Front-runner status had jumped back-and-forth from person to person. Now…the Iowa Caucus will set the numbers in stone.
Obviously, since there’ve been two debates last week (one for ABC, another for Fox News—the latter ending this season with a BANG!), I’d have to cram my thoughts for both into one piece. Thus…I’ll focus more on my general thoughts on the candidates. As

by T Akery December 13th, 2011 | Congress, Political Opinions, Presidential News
The payroll tax cut debate is a hard one to define. While the biggest question surrounding this cut is how to pay for it, there are other aspects to this particular tax that don't really add up. The first and biggest is that this particular tax affects Social Security.

Some time ago, famed innovator Steve Jobs was talking to media mogul Rupert Murdoch and said to him the following:
