Since Virginia Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, a bought and paid for Romney supporter, and the Republican Party of Virginia decided to change the rules in qualifying for the Presidential ballot one month before the deadline, this same idea that Anti-Idolotarian Rotweiller has floated has been in my mind (h/t Dan Riehl).

I guess either Trump was trumping this up and thought he'd milk it for all it was worth by putting rumors out he was endorsing Newt, or else today was another example of how you don't trust anonymous sources. Anyway, while more important things like Eric Holder testifying about Fast and Furious was going on, Donald Trump endorsed Willard "Mittens" Romney today. In the end, I don't know how much

I guess we can officially say that Ann Coulter is no longer a conservative, she's just a run-of-the-mill establishment Republican. The former conservative firebrand wrote a column yesterday called "Three Cheers for RomneyCare." (Legal Insurrection). Here's the ending (get the barf bags ready). What went wrong with Romneycare wasn't a problem in the bill, but a problem in Massachusetts:

Still believe Willard Romney is the "most electable" against Richard Milhous Obama? Two things should change your mind. First - Turnout in yesterday's Florida primary was down from 2008, by around 200,000 voters. All that negative advertising and establishment pile on did not attract new voters. My point from last night. Romney is not inspiring and does not give people a reason to vote for

Willard Romney just admitted, maybe inadvertently, he's not going to repeal Obamacare. This video was posted today on YouTube (H/T Cathy via Facebook). "There's a lot of waste in the Department of Defense as there is in the rest of government I'm going to go after that waste. I'm going to take that waste and use it to pay for Obamacare..."

Hat tip FreeRepublic.com. Mark Levin, on his nationally syndicated radio show, played a YouTube clip he found of Willard "Mitt" Romney citing Sen.

Here's the next example of how Willard "Mitt" Romney is like Richard Milhous Obama (BuzzFeed, via FreeRepublic). "It not about winning here anymore," one Romney staffer told BuzzFeed. "It's about destroying Gingrich — and it's working." How did Obama get his State Senate seat? Disqualifying potential opponents (sound familiar Virginia?).

It's becoming more and more obvious that Willard Romney and the GOP Country Club establishment's mudslide on Newt Gingrich wasn't just about Newt. This is clearly a war between the Establishment and the Tea Party. We saw it near the end of the 2008 election when Romney staffers targeted Sarah Palin. Even after the 2010 midterm success, which was directly attributed to the activism of the Tea

With the doubling down by the GOP Country Club establishment behind Willard "Mitt" Romney, it appears as all sanity has left the party. That's true not just at a national level, but at a state level as well.

As I've pointed out, Willard "Mitt" Romney has given different plans on what he'd do with Obamacare. He's said he'll repeal it, as well as "give a waiver to all 50 states" which means no repeal. His adviser, former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman, said Romney will not repeal Obamacare. Last night, on Greta van Susteren's Fox News show, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, defended RomneyCare,

The Country Club establishment of the Republican Party is becoming more and more like their liberal Democrat counterparts in the way they will employ the politics of personal destruction just to get one of their own elected.

I'm not talking about last night's debate, which was not good for him, and it also showed Romney to be what I and so many others have said about him as far as his dishonesty and Romneycare.

No, I'm not going to watch Obama's State of Delusion Address, which is going to be given in about 30 minutes. Personally, I'd rather watch paint dry. I also have a low tolerance for bullshit. In case you haven't figured it out, I can tell you this much, it's a campaign speech wrapped up in a Constitutionally required presentation by the President. And he's turning it into a campaign fundraiser.

How fitting, and it comes on the day that Richard Milhous Obama gives his State of Delusion Address to Congress tonight (Big Government). On Monday, the Ranking Republican of the Senate Budget Committee Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and the Chairman of the House Budget Committee Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) released a joint statement blasting Democrats for their budgetary inaction and contrasting it with

With a smile and snicker, Sarah Palin took down the fat boy governor of New Jersey and his Tony Soprano attitude, after he bashed Newt Gingrich on Meet the Depressed yeaterday (Real Clear Politics, video from Gateway Pundit).

That noise you're hearing? It's the Country Club, GOP establishment having a meltdown after their anointed candidate, Willard "Mitt" Romney got trounced by Newt Gingrich in South Carolina. This wasn't the way it was supposed to turn out. Romney, through his surrogates and other GOP elitists, planted enough doubt in people's minds to make Sarah Palin appear extreme and unelectable. Rick Perry,

She does it again! (Daily Caller) On a Sunday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends,” conservative columnist Ann Coulter explained why Romney fell short in the South Carolina GOP presidential primary, blaming the priorities of South Carolina voters for Gingrich’s success. “Apparently, South Carolinians would rather have the emotional satisfaction of a snotty remark toward the president than

First it was the tweaking of Newt Gingrich about the 15th anniversary of a report on a House ethics probe on him, along with a "birthday cake." Then, when he lost by a wide margin to the former speaker, Willard "Flip" Romney decided to show South Carolina and America why he is a sore loser (Yahoo News). Arriving on stage a few moments later, Romney barely mentioned Gingrich's name. Yet in

Right after the polls closed, Newt Gingrich is declared the winner of the all-important South Carolina primary (Fox News). Newt Gingrich has won the South Carolina Republican primary, Fox News projects, further scrambling an already volatile primary race that has produced three different winners in three states. Fox News projects that Mitt Romney will place second in the Palmetto State. Rick

The charges against [Romney] were dropped several days later and officially dismissed in February 1982 at Natick District Court.

They did it again today, according to Greta van Susteren (via Legal Insurrection). I find this gesture (below) from the Romney campaign to make them look very junior high. If Governor Romney even knows about this (and he may not), he should pull the plug on this prank. It doesn’t make his campaign (and thus him) look presidential. He wants to appear Presidential right now. It is one thing to

Let's play it again, because the video I linked to last night was lacking the rest of the point Newt made to John King of CNN. GINGRICH: Let me be quite clear: The story is false. Every personal friend I have who knew us in that period says the story was false. We offered several of them to ABC to prove it was false. They weren't interested because they would like to attack any Republican.

Don't tell me that this wasn't planned by the lapdog media. CNN's John King tried to hit Newt Gingrich with the lapdog media's smear campaign against him using his ex-wife. Newt took the question and threw it back at him (video via Gateway Pundit). Of course, ABC was called the "All Barack Channel" a couple of years ago because it practically held a one-day advertisement for the bill that

The big news today is that Jon Huntsman, who never had a chance of becoming the GOP nominee for President, is dropping out today and endorsing Flip Romney. Gateway Pundit reminds us that Huntsman ran a really good ad going after Romney's flip flops. So can we call Huntsman a flip-flopper as well?

Twenty twelve should be a year in which arguably the worst President in American history, Richard Milhous Obama, should be defeated at the ballot box and run out of Washington DC on a rail. At this point, I hate to say it, but the Republican Party seems to be doing all they can do to re-elect him, which would really cause this nation and our economy such devastation it might not recover from.

A White House “Alice in Wonderland” costume ball — put on by Johnny Depp and Hollywood director Tim Burton — proved to be a

I'm sure the Washington ComPost was saddened to write this news. The rat population around the two Occupy D.C. camps at McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza has “exploded”since protesters began their vigil in October, according to Mohammad N. Akhter, the director of the District’s Department of Health. Akhter said in an interview Monday that city health inspectors have seen rats running openly

Or maybe I should title this post (or future similar posts) "They Told Me If Sarah Palin Ran For President, The Media Would Focus On Her And Not Obama." And they were right. Which is why so many of the people who were saying that (ie - the Establishment "Country Club" Republicans and professional conservative punditry class) are aghast at the idea that Newt Gingrich and the other contenders for

I missed this morning's debate, after being fortunate not to pay attention to the worthless one last night (except via Twitter). It appears that there was an attempt to do today what the GOP candidates didn't do last night...take it to Willard "Mitt" Romney. Thanks to Legal Insurrection, here's a clip of Newt connecting with an uppercut after Romney has claimed for the ten thousandth time he's

Sarah Palin was on Judge Jeannine Pirro's Fox News TV show last night and said the following: I believe the mainsteam media and Obama want to face Mitt Romney in the general election because they are already gearing up to portray him -- accurately or inaccurately -- they're going to portray him as being out of touch with the working class as being so rich, and, from such a, kind of perfectly

First it was John McLame, now it's the second worst President in American history, Jimmy Carter, who wants Willard "Flip" Romney as the GOP nominee (Fox News). Former President Jimmy Carter says he would be "very pleased" to see Mitt Romney as the GOP presidential nominee -- an endorsement that the former Massachusetts governor hasn't yet embraced as he seeks to win over conservative primary

I wrote yesterday about the phony outrage directed at Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit by the LA Slimes, which was ginned up by the George Soro$ funded, tax exempt organization, Media Mutters. Of course, there was no racism implied in the photoshop, just mockery of Moochelle Obama as living it up like Marie Antionette on the taxpayer dime, while our nation is deeper in debt and the economy is still in

Judging from the Obasms the lapdog media had today, it was time to celebrate. The jobless rate was down to 8.5 percent (LA Slimes). Reporting from Washington— The long-struggling economy is picking up a head of steam, with government data showing the unemployment rate dropping to a nearly three-year low in December as businesses in a wide range of industries created a solid batch of new jobs.

It's an Obama world, and any criticism or mockery of them is deemed racist by a panting sycophantic lapdog media. Such as this satirical photo below, that appeared at Gateway Pundit. Anyone who has half a brain can see that this photo is mockery of Moochelle Obama, who flies around on the taxpayer dime like some Marie Antionette while many families cannot afford a vacation.

Understatement of the century! (Politico) “As people look at his record and they imagine him debating Obama, Obama’s going to laugh at him,” Gingrich said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “Obama’s going to say, ‘I developed Obamacare based on Romneycare. I even brought your staff into the White House in order to develop it.’” Newt made the same point I and so many others who are opposed to

More rationalizing the irrational -- Romney as the person to beat Obama -- from Ann Coulter (h/t Legal Insurrection). As a two-time senator from a light-blue state, Rick Santorum is not as obviously unelectable as the rest. But don’t leap too fast, Republicans. Remember how Rick Perry broke your heart. Santorum is not as conservative as his social-issues credentials suggest. He is more of a

The establishment, country club GOP has spoken...and John McLame was sent out this morning to repeat the message (Townhall via Gateway Pundit). Just two days after the first votes in the race to pick a Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain says it’s time to wrap things up. McCain, who endorsed Mitt Romney to be the GOP nominee a day earlier, says Republicans need to “get this thing

I guess it has been, checking back in my archives. Six years ago today I made the first posting on this blog. So, what got me started in the world of online punditry? I started finding conservative activists online during the Bush/Gore election fight, but when that ended, just kind of went back to what I was doing.

This is what Richard Milhous Obama said when Bush appointed the great John Bolton to be ambassador of the United Nations (ARRA News Service). Recess appointments ‘the wrong thing to do.’ “‘It’s the wrong thing to do. John Bolton is the wrong person for the job,’ said Sen.

This is why we need to pick the right person to run in November (Legal Insurrection). Obama’s recess appointment of Richard Cordray to the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau correctly is portrayed as a naked power grab. First, the Senate is not in recess. Harry Reid and other Democrats in the past treated the current Senate pro forma business status as not being in recess. Second, the

If the Iowa Caucus last night is any indication, this is going to be a long year. The establishment GOP's candidate, Willard Mitt "Flip" Romney, won the caucus by only eight votes, and could not break the 25.19% margin of his second place finish in 2008 (Des Monies Register).

Sorry to say, it appears the Republican Establishment has gotten to Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's attorney general. I wrote here on Saturday how Cuccinelli stated he was looking to put forward emergency legislation to fix the controversy created by the Republican Party of Virginia, in which Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are the only candidates who will appear on the March 6 Presidential Primary ballot.

How come this is not surprising? (Big Government). For college football fans, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA is sacred ground. “The Granddady” of the college football tournament games, it has been played every year since 1902.

Well folks, we're down to the homestretch. In six days, the selection will officially begin, in Iowa, for who will run on the Republican side to face and defeat Richard Milhous Obama, who is, in my mind, the worst President in American history. In doing our selection, I think it is imperative that we are able to select a candidate who will, as Ronald Reagan told CPAC in 1975, raise "a banner of
