We have met him, and he is us. Well, some of us. We often hear the Democrats cited as the reason we’re in this mess today, but that’s a cop out. The right in the guise of the Republican party are just as guilty as the Democrats. In fact, I’d argue they’re more guilty. The reason we’re in …

Well, he’s got big brass ones, you gotta give him that. “Senator Santorum and Speaker Gingrich, they are the very Republicans who acted like Democrats, and when Republicans act like Democrats, they lose,” said Mitt Romney today in Atlanta, according to a statement e-mailed by his campaign. I’m speechless. That the smarmy shitweasel could even …

I still like Jeff’s version, but this one–a forced castration by God only knows who–works too. I don’t have firsthand knowledge that she was kidnapped by RINO Team Six and taken to an offshore medical facility where she was forced to undergo a gruesome surgical procedure, but many of her recent columns suggest that something …

Just keep telling yourself that. Across America, state Republican parties and legislators are pursuing the opponents they most despise with renewed vigor. You would think that the targets of these efforts are President Barack Obama and Democratic Party officeholders who are hell-bent on turning America into a financially broken, post-constitutional, Washington-controlled playground safe only for …

Jen Kuznicki with a good hockey metaphor: The Republican Establishment Ann refuses to acknowledge is not interested in stopping the policies of statist Democrats, but strategically tipping the puck and finessing the outcome. But this short-sighted political expediency still puts the puck in the net. We were wrong to think that Ann is a conservative …

Wanna know another reason I won’t vote for Romney? Because I don’t want to have to tie myself in such absurd knots defending the indefensible, as Jen Rubin and several others have. And now…Coulter, in her “Three Cheers For Romneycare” self-beclownment. No, you read that right: three cheers for Romneycare, which she calls “a massive …

Jeff pre-imagines the Mittrack Ogabney Presidential debates so we won’t have to watch the sickening spectacle ourselves: Obama: “But Governor, you supported TARP. And stimulus. Just as I did. If it was the right thing to do then, why are you saying now that it was the wrong thing to do?” Romney: “Well, isn’t it …

And it is nothing whatever new. Because in truth, they always have been. Yet still more mush from the wimps. To borrow a famous Reagan phrase: “Well, there they go again.” Somewhere an exasperated Gipper is doubtless shaking his head. The war between conservatives and the Republican Establishment — and make no mistake, this is …

Richard Miniter asks the question of the year: In New Hampshire, Romney also spent heavily. More importantly, he was a “favorite son,” a familiar face and voice as a neighboring governor. And, of course, as he reminded voters in the Granite State repeatedly, he owned property in their state. Even so, he won with a …

As a perfect follow-up on a comment of Martin’s here, well, ummm…uuhhh… Bingo. Unfortunately, the GOP elite’s failure to understand exactly why Gingrich did so well portends the sad prospect that Republican leadership isn’t going to improve anytime soon. In election after election, and on issue after issue, the Republican base has felt increasingly frustrated and …

Dan says it about Romney, but for my money it applies almost as well to the Republican Statist Party itself: For Romney to attack every conservative from the Right, when he is so obviously and so far to the Left of them, demonstrates a complete lack of character and integrity. But slash and burn is …

Because it’s not really their own they’re eating. But that’s absolutely the only thing Palin gets wrong here. We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and which continues to fight the grassroots Tea Party movement today has adopted the tactics of the left in …

And if Mittens IS electable, the country is in a lot sorrier shape than we thought. “The system that we put in place in our state was something we worked out with the labor community, the health care community, business, and the citizens of the nation. We came together, it was voted [on] by a …

Another Christie blunder, and a pretty damned weak one too: The problem that Mitt Romney has is not only that he’s taken liberal positions in the past, but that he doesn’t have an argument for what he’s done to advance conservatism. This problem really struck when I watched New Jersey Chris Christie on “Meet the …

Walsh dresses Mittens in the funeral suit: To whom does Romney really appeal? Who are his broken-glass voters? Yes, he seems like a pleasant enough fellow and no one doubts his business or organizational acumen. But he’s hurt himself badly in the debates — and not just, as the new conventional wisdom has it, in …

Don’t know where Ace got this petulant whine, but he shoulda left it where it was. I’d also like to thank Rick Perry, who was actually one of the most conservative candidates. Thank you, Rick, for having the nomination handed to you on a silver platter and then eating said platter because you’re a fucking …

Great headline from Jeff: “BREAKING: Historic Iowa and New Hampshire back-to-back wins by inevitable GOP nominee Mitt Romney made less historic by way of his having not really won Iowa.” Story here, nothing to add from me. Well, other than a resounding “HAAAA ha!” done in the Nelson Muntz style, I mean.

Jeff cleans up the mess–or clears it up, anyway. Going forward, my own belief is that we needn’t worry about who is “electable” — because that will be determined by who gets the most votes, and who gets the most votes will be determined by which candidate’s message best resonates, not by which candidate has …

Building itself around Obamneycare: I happen to think the Supremes are going to uphold Obamacare — not that they should, but that they will (for the reasons outlined in the aforementioned column). That won’t mean Obamacare is good policy; it is disastrous policy. It will just mean that Obamacare is one of the many suicidal …

No, it isn’t any of the various Lefty -isms you’d care to name. Not really. Any criticism of Bain, much less a criticism of how our possible nominee ran the firm, is an attack on free markets and capitalism. Or so we are being told. No, it’s not. It isn’t. It really isn’t. Just because …

This is both sad and hilarious at once: Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal yesterday to propose a platform for GOP in the general election, entitled “America’s Choice.” Johnson’s plan “seeks to highlight the differences between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party led by President Obama,” …

I must confess myself flummoxed, poleaxed, flabbergasted, disgusted, and dismayed. As I said the other day, this election has suddenly gone from being a critical decision about the direction this country will go in for decades to come at the most basic level of principle and ideology…to being just another useless dumbshow. Bread and circuses, …

MIz Weazley has come up with what has to be the ultimate Campaign 2012 poster, along with a handful of truly excellent slogans. Her last suggestion best describes my own attitude at this point, I must say.

You’re spoiling the whole “electability” narrative! Bastards. The hyperventilated reaction to Newt’s mention of Bain problems was similar to the use of the race card, it was intended to shut down the conversation. And it did for a while in Iowa, and it provided ammunition to those who didn’t like Newt to begin with. The argument that Newt …

Sowell for Gingrich: Do we wish we had another Ronald Reagan? We could certainly use one. But we have to play the hand we were dealt. And the Reagan card is not in the deck. While the televised debates are what gave Newt Gingrich’s candidacy a big boost, concrete accomplishments when in office are the …
