Obama’s plans of hope and change have utterly failed his most ardent constituency. Today, the wreckage is overwhelming.

I came down to cover the event from Canada. And for anything you may have heard of Canada’s (well earned) reputation for tolerance, diversity and friendliness, nothing could have prepared me for the hospitality and graciousness I’ve had the joy of experiencing in Charleston.

What a reversal of fortune this past week was for Romney. Rick Santorum was declared the winner of Iowa after a recount revealed he won more votes than Romney. Romney won New Hampshire. Then Newt took South Carolina.

Is Mitt Romney a racist for being moved with compassion after interacting with an American citizen who happened to be black?

Join us tomorrow outside the offices of Sen. Gillibrand & Chuck Schumer in NYC tomorrow to stop SOPA.

Romney has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and there is no need for him to justify his desire to make a profit in his deal-making.

Libertopia is a feature-length documentary that encourages twenty thousand people to move to New Hampshire where the participants examines issues of freedom and liberty.

(Tribune File Photo) Mia Love, mayor of Saratoga Springs, is jumping into the 4th Congressional District contest. She faces fellow Republicans Stephen Sandstrom and Carl Wimmer, both state lawmakers, in the battle for the GOP nomination.

Newt Gingrich needs to stop his parade of excuses for failing to qualify to get his name on Virginia’s GOP presidential ballot. “I think it’s more like Lucille Ball at the chocolate factory.

You’ve got to get it organized,” quipped Romney about Gingrich’s Virginia fiasco. For once I agree with Mitt Romney. The “only failed system” is the Gingrich campaign’s incompetence, not Virginia’s law, which has been in place since 1970.

As a person who has written favorably about Gingrich as being the most qualified candidate on the GOP presidential stump, I was shocked by the turn of events in Virginia and offer the candidate some constructive criticism.

Last month Christopher Hitchens unloaded on Mitt Romney’s “bizarre” religious beliefs. You expect this sort of thing from the far right and it’s arrived on cue, but Romney probably didn’t anticipate having his underwear selection critiqued by atheists and left wing commentators.

Does Mormonism include some strange beliefs? You bet. They think Jesus came to America after he wrapped up the New Testament story. He preached here to a vast, highly developed culture of whose existence we have no evidence. And it goes on and on. Magic stones, a new gospel written on gold plates that no one has ever seen. There’s some odd stuff in there, but does it matter?

Picking on a candidate’s religious beliefs is like making fun of his mother. Sure, maybe she’s batty and erratic, but he loves her. Perhaps you can make an attenuated case that her weirdness is going to affect his performance, but for the most part bringing her into the race is just mean.

Paul’s proto-blog provides a candid look at who he surrounded himself with, what wacky ideas interest him, and what sort of creepy ideological swamp fed his rise.

Paul finally apologized for racist newsletters and fund raising letters sent out in his name, but there remain questions to be answered, and answers to be questioned.

A conservative former prosecutor, Martinez is the most popular of the new Republican governors elected last fall, with an approval rating at or above 50 percent in a traditionally liberal state.

If you agree with me that the government’s requirement that one have “legitimate” government I.D. to get on a plane or into a government building; how can you then argue that to require the same in order to vote in political elections is discriminatory against the poor and minorities?

Poor people fly on airplanes and enter into government buildings like everyone else.

These are the absurd arguments being made by the radical liberals like Al Sharpton, Ben Jealous, and radical liberal organizations like the N.A.A.C.P., the Congressional Black Caucus, etc. If it’s racist to require I.D. for people to vote, then it must be racist to require I.D. to board a plane or enter a government building!

Liberals never want to match a government program with any type of individual responsibility. They constantly argue the extreme. They claim minorities are adversely affected by requiring I.D. in order to vote. According to them, the poor can’t afford the cost to pay for proper I.D. They argue that grandma doesn’t have her original birth certificate; therefore it is much harder for her to get her I.D.

If the laws only applied to minorities or the poor, then I wo

In my opinion, these jokers have got to be the weakest pool of candidates in a decade. However, I will give Mitt Romney credit for running again, and Rick Perry for being lost. I think Michelle Bachmann loves her country but seeing her as President would force me to move out of the USA.

Ron Paul is running on a libertarian ideology that many view as extreme and Newt Gingrich is just out of time. Rick Santorum..I have no clue of why he is running and I do like John Huntsman but he should drop out of the race and support his Mormon brother (Romney).

None of these candidates have a clue on how to make America competitive in the 21st century. Some even act like they want to return to the 50s when we practiced Leave It to Beaver polices not understanding that the world has drastically changed.
