If you’re watching cable news, you might’ve noticed this narrative going around on how former Senator Rick Santorum is waging a war on women’s health. He also labeled President Obama with a “phony theology”, and is really having fun with his new-found status as a front-runner. But when it comes to women’s health, Rick is … Continue Reading →
I’m hearing that CNN’s Atlanta debate on March 1st is cancelled. Add that to the cancelled March 5th debate on MSNBC, and we’re left with one debate on Wednesday, Feb. 22 in Mesa, AZ. That puts 13 states across one debate, and 500+ delegates sit between now and March 6th. Part of me wonders if … Continue Reading →
The pieces to the puzzle that will reveal the Republican Party candidate for the presidency of the United States are scattered all over the place. The GOP had a black CEO that could command attention, a sitting governor who could not speak to television audiences, and a woman that said she could lower gas prices … Continue Reading →
I was expecting this. Gov. Rick Snyder has been quiet about endorsements, but a key presidential primary that may swing the balance of the nomination is at stake, and it’s inevitable.

It is a hot topic during the election cycle, but at all other times my black conservative friends aren’t talking about abortion. But when their conservative … Continue Reading →
If the media sees Mitt Romney winning Missouri, it’s called “mandate.”. If the media sees Rick Santorum winning Missouri, it’s called “non-binding.” Just Sayin’. Mako out.
The Florida primary proves that money may not buy love, but it will make folk hate your opponent. The old Newt Gingrich got blown away by Mitt Romney, who isn’t loved by conservatives. But Romney had big money and used it well to make Gingrich look like a mad man without focus or cause. The … Continue Reading →
The last day of campaigning in Florida was not the kind of thing that America the beautiful is all about. But that is what Mitt Romney sang at his last stop in Florida before the voting on Tuesday.

What values and ethics they are talking about with Newt Gingrich, the three-time loser, and Mitt Romney, the liar that makes flip-flopping look … Continue Reading →
