I happened upon this interesting youtube footage (here) from the Romney/Kennedy senate debate in 1994. (Hat tip VolunteerDispatch (here).
I can’t see that the video contains any new info Romney’s mittamorphosis from social Liberalism to his current stances; however, it is a higher level of unsettling to see actual footage of his Liberalness [...]
What is a Social Conservative and who’s to say? These questions are being raised in light of the unexceptional (except to Adam Kleinheider–at VolunteerVoters.com) and Roger Abramson–at flanktwoposition.com)) assertion that the “Pro-life with exceptions” position on abortion (or the Pro-Life with Asterisk position) is not the “social Conservative” position on abortion.
I’m still kind of [...]
I’ve been called out by Roger Abramson, again, but this time it’s about my post regarding Mitt Romney’s current position on abortion. You can read my post (here) and Roger’s reaction (here).
Abramson makes much of a Pew Poll showing that only 11% of the population agree with my position on abortion, but even if a [...]
Various local blogs (VolunteerVoters and Bill Hobbs) are reporting about the e-launch of the Mitt Romney for President Exploratory Committee. So I dropped in for a little browsing, and I’m kind of surprised that this is the best they can do regarding the sanctity of life over at mittromney.com. Under “America’s Culture and Values,” we [...]
I love the story about John Edwards trying to pull strings at Wal-Mart to get an X-box for his 6-year-old. I like it because it tells how Edwards unwittingly demonstrates (aside from incredible hypocrisy and elitism) his belief in the Wal-Mart ethic . . .
Which is what I thought of when reading this Thomas Sowell [...]
I wrote previously that Barack Obama is no Colin Powell, and I still think that’s true in regard to stature, credentials or even popularity, but John Fund writes (here) that Obama is like Powell in another way: he could very well opt out of a future presidential run. I, for one, think Obama’s pure ambition [...]
There’s an interesting interview (transcript, mp3 and video!) with Gov. Mitt Romney over at HumanEvents.com. Romney seems to believe that his square jaw and ultra-religiousness will transcend his contradictory stances on a variety of social issues over the course of his political career.
For instance, in answering a question about potential criticism from Religious Conservatives concerning [...]
I am still not sure why anyone’s so excited about Sen. Barack Obama–perhaps it is a reflection of the discomfort with Edwards and Hillary.
But I have to disagree with the thesis of this Dick Morris and Eileen McGann op/ed (via VolunteerVoters.com via straighttalkalabama.com). For the record, I think Morris is a master marketer but he [...]
I thought I checked my messages all weekend, but somehow I missed my invite to meet Mitt while he was in Middle Tennessee. Oh well, accidents happen.
In any event, the ‘08 Presidential nomination campaign has already started so I’m planning to do a great deal of deep thinking* about folks like Mitt Romney in the [...]
Dang. I am a victim of the media, which (who?) are intent–less than a week after the 2006 election, on dropping the gates on the 2008 presidential horse race. Of course, the would-be candidates are partly to blame . . .
But over at evangelicalsformitt.com (here) there is a disparaging post about Newt which warrants a [...]
