Obama’s Unbecoming Presidential Campaign
Posted on 25. Oct, 2012 by Dominic Godinez in Analysis, Politics
Who knew the fate of the presidential election would tip on the number of women voting as if their lady parts depend on it? Early on in the presidential race, Barrack Obama’s campaign made the calculation to use young, unmarried, female voters, a group that leans heavily Democratic as a punch card for a second [...]
Biden “Forcibly” Defeats Ryan
Posted on 14. Oct, 2012 by Lucy Raed in Analysis, Politics
In one of the most clear-cut, decisive victories I have ever seen in a televised debate, Vice President Joe Biden utterly trounced Paul Ryan. The defeat was total. There wasn’t even a smidgen of doubt. Most importantly, it was exactly what the bewildered Democrats needed. After the confusing (and lie-ridden) Romney obfuscation of the first [...]

Republicans Hope For A Rainy Day
Posted on 02. Oct, 2012 by Dominic Godinez in Current Events, Politics
Many months have passed since Mitt Romney became the presumptive Republican Party nominee for president of the United States. Far before that, President Barack Obama and his surrogates were at work defining Romney and the choice that voters will face on Election Day. Yet polls consistently find between five and ten percent of the electorate [...]
Political Contributions by Media Fail Americans
Posted on 26. Sep, 2012 by Dominic Godinez in Analysis, Politics
With six weeks until the presidential election, Mitt Romney is fighting an uphill battle against two opponents. Barack Obama is the main opponent, whom by all economic and foreign policy circumstances, should be a paper tiger on Election Day. His second opponent, which for the remainder of the race is increasingly asserting itself as his [...]
Desperation, Foolishness, Drive Romney To New Lows
Posted on 17. Sep, 2012 by Lucy Raed in Current Events, Politics
Last week Mitt Romney yet again proved what a tremendously terrible president he would be. He chose to make political hay over how a local embassy chief expressed a message of religious tolerance hours before a riot broke out, and laid the blame for this chief’s actions squarely at the feet of President Barack Obama. Rarely have I seen this level of idiocy displayed on the national stage.

Paul Ryan may have made the greatest mistake of his political career yesterday when he publically admitted to the crime of being stupid enough to jump on the Romney ticket. I’m not sure what he was promised, how much campaign money and/or political clout the RNC heavies offered him, but there is no way it [...]

It took the boldness and courage of the Speaker of the Senate to shine the light right where it belongs: Mitt Romney’s pocketbook. For centuries in this country men like Mitt Romney have plundered our resources and taxed our infrastructure in the name of “commerce,” which must be rich guy code for “my pocket.” This [...]

Romney Gets Trumped
Posted on 03. Feb, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
After much hemming and hawing, The Donald has finally (hopefully?) decided not to throw his hat into the 2012 Presidential race and support one of the four remaining Republican candidates. Speculation was swirling around who exactly Trump would endorse for the Republican nomination. Wednesday the rumor mill was flooded with reports that Newt Gingrich would [...]
