The NH Cigar Poll

I don’t know how well he’ll do in the New Hampshire primary today (I’ve downgraded my expectations because of reported high voter turnout), but Ron Paul just won one contest near and dear to my heart.
New Hampshire cigar shop owner Leonard Seagren is looking forward to a more flamboyant political season.
Seagren, who owns Federal Cigar, […]

Iowa Wrap-up

I called it pretty darned close when making my predictions about the Iowa caucuses. Dan’s got a good handle the stats and numbers after the fact.

Pragmatism or idealism: that is the question

Julie@LIA raises a question of importance to people from all political parties and persuasions.  While her argument pertains to Kucinich supporters organizing to stop Hillary in Iowa, some of the questions raised are generally valid to people from across the political spectrum.
We also need to bear in mind that Ralph Nader has threatened to run […]

John Killian Invokes the William Wallace Challenge

Since the movie was produced, it has persisted as one of my favorites.
As William Wallace said in the movie Braveheart, “and in that day, you will lie in your beds, would you trade every day from this day until then to tell our enemies, you may take our lives, but you can’t take our […]

Probable Top GOP Fundraiser Excluded from Republican Presidential Debate?

Chris Brunner, a personal friend who posts at LewRockwell.com, contacted me to get some Ron Paul campaign contact information a few minutes ago.  It looks like he’s been on the ball since then:
From the official campaign website:
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report, Republican presidential candidate […]

Who Would Jesus Elect?

Left in Alabama and this site have recently covered the same two issues with similar titles but somewhat different conclusions. It thought it might be interesting to take a look at both the similarities and the differences.
To begin, I don’t think raising taxes in the name of Jesus is a good idea; Mooncat does. […]

Merry Christmas from People Who (Mostly) Will Say Anything for Your Vote

Here’s a wrap up of Christmas television advertising from your most loved and most hated presidential wannabes.
Rudy Giuliani’s ad was somewhat clever, but I’m not sure if he’s trying to pander to the gay vote or having fun with tired old Christmas humor. What’s up with all the fruitcake stuff, anyway?
Hillary Clinton has a […]

Ron Paul’s a Fag…

…according to this logic, at least. At issue are allegations that Ron Paul is racist because his campaign didn’t return a $500 donation made by an alleged white supremacist. Writes disenter:
Using the logic of the Neocon smear machine (1, 2), Ron Paul is now a certified homosexual! That’s right, this is groundbreaking news […]

Rush Limbaugh and I Have Something in Common

Neither of us likes Huckabee. Our resemblance ends at this point, however.

Tucker Carlson Pimps Out Ron Paul’s Ride

MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson wrote a rather insightful article about the Ron Paul campaign over at The New Republic.  In addition to providing additional insight about Dr. Paul, it was cleverly written, as well.  Here are some of the gems I picked out of the article:

The crowds at Ron Paul rallies aren’t coming to be entertained. […]

About the Future Reverend-In-Chief’s Reading Skills

Mitt Romney isn’t the only Republican presidential candidate pandering for votes these days. One thing about Tancredo’s recently disbanded campaign is that no one could accuse him of pandering to the Hispanic vote. Likewise, no one can accuse Giuliani of pandering to intelligent folks. From Jesse Walker/Franklin Harris:
Mike Huckabee, that winsome […]

President Bush Endorses Ron Paul…

…or his foreign policy position, at least.
Don’t believe me? Check out the video.

On Fire at the White House

According to reports, there was a minor fire at the White House today.  My only question is whether they were burning the Bill of Rights, or just CIA torture tapes.

Today’s Quote of the Day…

…is about the importance of the Ron Paul campaign:
“Paul’s candidacy is an indictment of the system, not an argument for who would best administer it.”
Props.
