I am far more comfortable than many of my like-minded conservative friends are with a President who is less than perfect ideologically. Reagan was the last President who I think had a coherent political philosophy, yet he was not the last President who did...
I put a little "teaser" up on Facebook the other day that I was going to write this piece, and as is nearly always the case when Ron Paul is spoken of in some sort of negative context, the wheels fell off the bus for...
I have been excited about this particular GOP debate for some time, knowing that it was the only one CNBC was going to host and knowing that MSNBC and CNN were not hosting it. The various moderators and panelists are also people I spend...
- This idea that Perry starts off strong and then weakens throughout the debate is just not true. He started off weak last night (from the very first question, and just got worse from there) - "I don't try to define who's rich and who isn't;...

One of the most disturbing (and unsurprising) developments in the 2012 election cycle over the last few weeks is the all-out assault on Michelle Bachmann, and potentially-successful (but patently absurd) attempt to brand her as some sort of religious fanatic. Now, I am not...
Let me start this article by saying this: I confess from the start that this is a very, very passionate issue for me. I am not a fan of Ron Paul, and I respond with passion and sometimes vitriol at times when I am confronted...
I grow more confident by the day that it will take one of those miracles you read about in the Bible for the Republicans to have a candidate who can actually compete with Barack Obama in 2012. He is completely beatable, and in fact, the...
