Romney’s Disconnect
January 27th, 2012 | 
Author: Mitt Romney adviser Norm Coleman, a former senator from Minnesota, reinforced those fears this week when he predicted ObamaCare won’t be repealed, even if a Republican wins the White House in November.
Every Republican candidate — including Romney — has vowed to repeal the law. The Romney campaign quickly distanced itself from Coleman’s prediction. "With all due respect to Sen. Coleman, he’s wrong," campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said. "Gov. Romney can and will repeal ObamaCare and is committed to doing so."
Who do we believe?

A Slashed and Burned Military
On the ground, in the sea, and in the air, American forces will shrink drastically — the Army will shrink by 72,000 people, the active Marine Corps will be reduced by 20,000, the Air Force will see six tactical fighter squadrons de-established while an additional training fighter squadron will be eliminated, the next-generation F-35 Join Strike Fighter procurement will be slowed, and the Navy will retire seven cruisers and two amphibious ships at an early juncture while delaying the procurements of new ships.
Neither liberty nor safety
Today only crickets from the Left as Obama assaults liberty and freedom of choice on a nearly daily basis.
Consider the list of Obama’s assaults on liberty. Any one of these done by a Republican President would bring down the wrath of the Left.
Republicans move to revive Keystone XL pipeline
Republicans fired back, citing recently published reports that indicate killing the pipeline would be financially beneficial to billionaire Warren Buffett, a strong supporter of President Obama. Buffett’s holdings include Burlington Northern Santa Fe LLC, the railroad company that would transport oil through the region in the absence of the new pipeline.
The Cost of Obama’s Green Appeasement
This weekend’s Boston Globe Magazine will feature a gargantuan, 3600 word homage to rabid environmentalism in the form of a profile on 350.org founder Bill McKibben. The piece and President Obama’s disastrously short-sighted decision Wednesday to reject permitting for Transcanada’s Keystone XL pipeline are both symptomatic of a much larger ailment plaguing liberal politicking in general and the Obama administration in particular: a continual willingness to sacrifice the well-being of the majority for an elite, hypocritical minority.
Harry Reid’s Parallel Universe
Saying that Senate Democrats had "bent over backwards" to work with House Republicans, Reid declared that all he was asking for was a spirit of compromise. His version of compromise is, you give, I take.
Harry has brought some of his colleagues along into his parallel universe. Democratic National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for example, recently said, "I have noticed the tone take a very precipitous turn toward edginess and a lack of civility with the growth of the Tea Party movement." (Translation: Anyone who disagrees with the Democrat playbook is uncivil.) Vice President Joe Biden, who takes frequent trips to the parallel universe, has likened Tea Party members to terrorists.

Not What the Doctor Ordered
Romney isn’t the only Republican who paved the way for Obamacare.
It is a sad irony that many ambitious Republicans wasted two decades toying with the system of exchanges, subsidies, and mandates that eventually became Obamacare. It would be even sadder if continued Republican short-sightedness contributed to making this state of affairs permanent.

Why America Hates Its Politicians So Much
Today, American Idol appears to be the litmus test for electing a president. Is someone cool, hip, and exciting? Is he/she good-looking?
On that basis Obama is eminently qualified. He is good-looking and smooth-talking (with a teleprompter), and he exudes confidence. These characteristics, coincidentally, are the same ones necessary for a successful career as a charlatan or confidence man. What is not coincidental is the overlap between a successful politician and a successful criminal! Success in either of these two fields is dependent upon duplicity, fraud, and coercion.

Gingrich: The SOB we need
Romney is not strong enough for the coming battle. Newt may be an SOB, but he’s our SOB. And we need an SOB to defeat the snake in the White House.

You’re right Mr. President, We Need More ‘Fairness’
The average Federal employee can be paid no more than the average American employee, currently $42K a yr. Wouldn’t that be fair?
The Senate hasn’t passed a budget in 1,000 days. They should lose their paychecks and all fringe benefits until they pass a budget. Isn’t that fair?
Everyone who travels on Air Force One must pay their own way, be they friends of the President, First Lady, or staffers. That’s eminently fair.
