Posted on 07/12/12 at 10:18 am in response to Kurt Bills on the William Bennett national radio show

Usually on the station that airs Bennett, the Patriot, one isn't simply a school teacher. One is a union thug from a government school. So when Bills says, "I think we need people from the bottom up," the audience really does think teachers are the bottom.

It seems impossible that there isn't any GOOPer with an already established constituency considering jumping into the primary. Or one of the higher profile Indep. party has-beens. Come on, Shelly, come on, Jesse.

Posted on 05/23/12 at 11:17 am in response to What Charles Krauthammer thinks about Obama and the election

If he's professionally equipped to handled paranoid personalities then Faux News is the place to be. So he distinguishes socialist from social democrat, big deal. Obama is a left-leaning centrist and governing that way. Perpetuating that very tired talking point, the " far left Obama", proves C.K. to be a fraud.

There was a clear mandate for health care reform in 2008. Obama chose the path of least resistance by enriching the insurance industry. Voters tossed out Democrats in 2010...

Loved the story about the 5 strikeouts in one inning. Reminds me of when my brother, Erick, was a New Brighton little league catcher in the early 60s. Sometimes he'd flub a pitch or a pop-up and our mother would call out, "Earl Battey would have got that one!"

For many years award-winning journalist Karl Bremer has documented the bizarre and totally embarassing career of Michele Bachmann. One item after another has been unearthed to demonstrate that an extremist, bigoted incompetent is representing the 6th District. His professionalism shines through, yet until recently these gems are almost totally ignored by the news media of Minnesota. Why?

Posted on 05/21/12 at 06:14 am in response to Minnesota GOP to stand with Ron Paul in Tampa

I have not seen Rand Paul's name mentioned on the list of potential Romney running mates, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ron Paul's son, the Kentucky senator is selected in a desparate attempt to unite the party.

Posted on 05/15/12 at 02:46 pm in response to Pawlenty offers truisms about our problems, but little about his future

If you want to know what Pawlenty's next political move is going to be, why not ask Cheney?

Posted on 01/20/12 at 03:02 am in response to A question for Romney: What's wrong with apologizing?

Been reading a lot about the Napoleonic Era of late. Napoleon made many errors but he always found someone to take the blame, usually his marshals. He didn't think it would fit the image of an emporer to show signs of weakness. Otherwise it might make the people doubt his infallibility. It looks Romney knows his history much better than I thought.

Posted on 01/19/12 at 04:35 am in response to What if Ron Paul ran as a third party candidate?

Romney is backed by John Bolton and a bevy of neocons. I've always thought Ron Paul's support in 2008 and, to some extent in 2012 grew largely as a result of non-Democrats who were revolted by Bush 43's foreign policy. How Paul can end up supporting Romney is hard to fathom. Could we see the veep post dangled in front of Rand Paul?

And if not Ron Paul leading the libertarians, can Jesse V. be tempted, especially after his recent experience of being smeared in right-wing websites?

Posted on 01/17/12 at 01:07 am in response to Walker recall looms in Wisconsin, but no candidate yet

‘The endgame ...is to eliminate the need for marriage altogether.' Yeah, or the need for political groups to masquerade as organized religion.
