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 [...]
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 [...]
Here’s a great report (here) about the book Who Really Cares by Arthur Brooks. While the story has been out there awhile, the book and in depth study of the data is new.
Conclusions? Religiously devout people are more generous than those who are not religiously devout. Accordingly, Americans, Republicans and Conservatives are more generous because [...]
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 [...]
Roger Abramson is taking shots (over at FlanktwoPosition) at Focus on the Family’s James Dobson claiming that Dobson has “drop[ped] to yet another level” in a recent Time Magazine op/ed (here). I sure hope you’ll read Dobson’s article for yourself before forming or adding to your opinion of Dobson, but in a pre-emptive (not really) defense of Dobson . [...]
You’ve probably read reports that Dick Cheney’s daughter (the one who prefers women) is pregnant. I’m most interested by the reporting of “the story” surrounding ”the story.”
This report from the L.A. Times (here) highlights what the reporter perceives as “a delicate touch unseen in the political war over gay issues.” (Aside: I like how the reporter inaccurately asserts VP [...]
My mom used to have a little framed thingamajig that sat on a table in our living room that read, “If you don’t feel close to God, guess who moved.” E.J. Dionne would have us believe that Barack Obama provides a similar type of measuring stick.
AACK at VolunteerVoters highlights a RedState.com post about a recent E.J. [...]
