Label this as part of my on going series how we (conservatives and Republicans) are failing to play this election cycle with any wisdom or long term strategy.
Last year was bad enough when many of us went for broke on the budget, as a pose to taking a more controlled approach, even though Democrats controlled [...]

Contrary to belief being spun around country tonight South Carolina was not the grass roots “striking back.” Period.
Romney’s campaign, which was leading up until about a week ago, failed on an epic proportion.
Instead of continuing to explain and sell he went into prevent defense mode. Like many sports teams who use that strategy instead of [...]

Newsflash to both GOP “establishment” and those who believe they represent “the grass roots”: You both need each other.
One reason I am completely demoralized and sickened over the past few months is best represented by what I am seeing over the past few hours.
At this point I believe neither side wants whats best for America [...]

Day One post Perry was rough. It wasnt easy to watch Governor Perry withdraw from the race.
Much could be said by simply watching the eyes of his wife - and the kiss between the two - and the tone of Governor Perry’s voice.
Governor Perry is correct that no one man own conservatism, and that we must [...]

Let me spell this out as best I can: You want my vote, you are going to have to work for it.
I am mad as the devil at how each one of you treated Gov Perry (and each other for that matter) during the race.
Being honest: Perry’s character and faith far outshines every single person left [...]

The recent debate of what constitutes good business pratices and the obligations of an employer is a best a misunderstood thing.
Governor Perry and Newt Gingrich both referenced Governor Romney’s experience at Bain Capital. The language used was not perhaps the best, and if we are honest, it may help Democrats in the general election.
Keep in mind, as I type this, I am a hard core Perry supporter.
The problem is that there is no context to what happens in corperate America - regardless of what type of free enterprise we are discussing. I know, Ive been there personally.

Reader note/up front disclaimer: I am a Perry supporter and havent changed my mind much. The analysis below is meant to be fair.
All through the summer and fall I waited to write this observation. Waited for the right time to see how things were setting and more importantly, for us to get [...]

Drama on the campaign trail always adds flavor to the season and provides a sense of story. In recent weeks the media’s obession with destroying several of the GOP’s more prominent (and conservative) political figures provides a sense of desperation not felt in eight years. Whether trying to paint Governor Perry as a racist, [...]

After the last two GOP debates I believe there is a clear case to be made that the forums should drop to four people. Not just on polling data and fundraising, but substance.
The four people I would like to see discussions break down to are Perry, Romney, Cain and Gingrinch.
These four people [...]

As I scan the morning new over the past couple weeks I’ve come to the conclusion that most Republican candidates are completely unserious about winning the presidential election in 2012.
How can I say such a thing?
Easy. There is more energy being put into knifing each other in the back and building up stalking [...]
