What Mitt Romney Should Tell CPAC

Alas, I wish that I could be in Washington, D.C. right now, attending the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference, one of the largest and most fun collections of conservatives put on each year by the American Conservative Union.  There is something great about being in that type of atmosphere. For a long time, I planned [...]

Dear Nancy

Dear Nancy, Perhaps you remember me, Madam Spea–  oh no, wait … you’re not Speaker of the House anymore. My bad, as the kids are fond of saying these days. In any event, you may remember me from a birthday wish that I penned to you almost two years ago, an article that caught quite [...]

Newt Passes on Southern Republican Leadership Conference

Behind me, a silver-haired woman in a “Newt 2012″ button-adorned, GOP elephant-styled sweater is shaking her head, forlornly thumbing out a text message to friends and family.  The former House Speaker, scheduled to speak at about 9:30 a.m. at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, has chosen to cancel his appearance and move on with his [...]

A South Carolina Divorce Attorney’s Perspective on Newt & Marianne Gingrich

I am a divorce attorney at The LaMantia Law Firm in Charleston, South Carolina.  While I have not been at it for very long, in some capacity or another I have been involved in the practice of family law for about two years now. When news of the Marianne Gingrich interview currently being sat upon [...]

Common Sense, or Partisan Rhetoric?

The Internet and the blogosphere in America have become supercharged with political activity during the past several years, activity that has radiated a degree of heightened awareness regarding the cultural crossroads at which we find ourselves. This has all no doubt been in direct, exponential proportion to what the American people have clearly come to view as a direct attack on [...]

A Personal Tale of Two Palmetto State Primaries

This is my second GOP primary season the Palmetto State, and the first one in which I plan to cast a vote.  What amazes me is how much I have changed in the dozen years since my first foray into covering national politics. In early February 2000, I was working as a news reporter for [...]

The Right and Wrong Way for Republicans to Attack Romney on Bain Capital

Regardless of how they feel about the candidate himself, I’d be willing to be that most on the American political right are okay with Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital, in spite of attacks on that record sparked and parroted by those trying to chip away at his status as frontrunner for the GOP nomination.  [...]

An Open Letter to Our Republican Candidates for President

To Our Alleged Republicans – I simply can’t take this anymore. To where, exactly, has the concept of principled leadership in America disappeared?  If we’re going to point to Barack Obama and his fascist sychophants, we may as well fold up our tents and go home, because quite frankly, it’s over. After all, 235 ½ [...]

Fear and Loathing In Iowa

Three days away from the Iowa caucus, the word is out that the Republican Party is in a “panic” over the possibility that Congressman Ron Paul might win the momentum-building contest on January 3, 2012. Iowa brings with it the first major vote and the idea of a Ron Paul victory has little, if any, [...]

AR Interviews: Mr. Ozzie deFaria, Candidate for Congress, Florida’s 20th District

Two days from now, a brand new election year will begin.  Sunday brings 2012, and by the end of this next year we may very well know whether America as we know it will survive, or whether the Mayans could have been correct after all. Three-and-a-half years have passed–and, including the day-to-day campaigning leading up [...]
