Friday’s Political Trumpet:

Friday’s Political Trumpet:

Today’s Political Trumpet offers up the word on the conservative street about “the Conservative of the Year”, the incoming Secretary of State’s ambition and activists agenda, the incoming Secretary of Defense’s hostility towards Israel, Ben Affleck’s career change, the NRA’s targeting of the left, what the looming Port strike is all about, a poignant question from a Marine who wants to know why the left considers him a threat, liberal media elitists caught pouring out their biases in casual conversation, a “fun fact”, the liberal race card game, and a look how T.E.A. activists are saving…

Tearing Into Romney’s Critics

For many disappointed Republicans the name of the game is blame, and who better to blame for Barack Obama’s reelection than Mitt Romney? That was the topic of Bill O’Reilly’s talking point memo featured in this video. Many Republicans are piling on Mitt for a myriad of reasons.  One self appointed T.E.A. Party leader, Jenny Beth Martin of The TEA Party Patriots,  slammed Mitt Romney, calling his defeat ”a catastrophic loss” that was the result of him being a “weak moderate”.  Martin added that Romney was “handpicked’’ by the Washington’s GOP establishment. According to Martin;…

TEA Party’s New Mission

TEA Party’s New Mission

John Roberts, what were you thinking.  If this question went through your mind at about 10:30am on June 28th, that puts you in good company.  In fact, the whole ruling on the healthcare law frankly seems odd.  First they ruled that it wasn’t a tax so that they could proceed with deciding if it was constitutional or not.  Then they ruled that it was a tax so that they could say it is constitutional.  Then, in a twist of irony after Obama’s recent decision to stop enforcing immigration laws, the…

The VP Matrix

The VP Matrix

Excitement continues to brew about who Mitt Romney might choose as his Vice President.  Today a story hit the news circulation that Marco Rubio is not being vetted, but Tim Pawlenty is being given serious consideration.  Romney found himself on the defensive this evening.  But before you get too excited about a Marco Rubio candidacy, or too upset about it, you may want to take a breather and consider who Romney is and what kind of campaign he is running.  Flash and splash are not the orders of the day.…

Does He Have Their Back?

Does He Have Their Back?

In Barack Obama’s mind, black people listen to gospel music mixed with a sort of 70’s techno-rap.  At least that’s what I got out of his recent ad targeting one part of America based on their skin color.  Obama’s divide and conquer strategy relies on race politics and getting people to vote for him because they share the same color skin.  After all, that’s what worked in North Carolina in 2008 when 95% of blacks voted for him. But recent polls are showing that Obama’s racial politics may not have…

Fundraising Apples and Oranges

The media is shocked to see the pronounced dead TEA Party raking in cash.  They shouldn’t be.  At the same time, the media is making hay out of Obama contributions compared to Romney’s.  This is a false comparison.  Romney fundraising compared to Obama fundraising is apples and oranges.  Here’s why: Romney has not positioned himself as an inspiring political figure.  He hasn’t made the election about himself.  He has made it about Obama’s record.  In fact, it should be no surprise at all at all that TEA Party conservatives who…
