Politics That Knows No Bounds

October 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Patheos’s political question of the week is “For whom will you vote, and why?” The e-mail that went out to all of the relevant bloggers explained, “The challenge is to make a case for your preferred candidate in light of your most deeply held convictions.” Normally, I’d blow this one right off because most of [Read More…]

Reminder: Free Mitt, Obama and US Religion E-book

October 10, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Hate to flog this again but, well, actually no I don’t. Yesterday, I announced the release of the short e-book Mitt Romney’s Mormon-Christian Coalition, written by yours truly and published for free through the sponsorship of the conservative weekly Human Events. I’ll have more to say about the substance of that book this week, but [Read More…]

Republicans vs. Good News

October 8, 2012 by Leave a Comment

In a post at Politix, I look at how conservatives and Republicans reacted to the new jobs report. In two words: not well: Former GE CEO Jack Welch tweated that the jobs numbers were “unbelievable.” He charged, “these Chicago guys will do anything…can’t debate so change numbers.” So many right-of-center critics followed Welch’s lead that [Read More…]

My Case that Obama Threw the Debate

October 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment

It’s published in Splice Today today. I argue that the president likely threw off the first debate to stave off boredom. Seriously: It’s broadly acknowledged that President Obama got beat like a drum by Mitt Romney in the first presidential debate in Denver. Even Slate, that bastion of phony contrarianism, couldn’t find a single pundit [Read More…]

October 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment

“I want to win.” That’s the subject line of Barack Obama’s latest e-mail in my inbox. I was going to give him some grief about it.

Obama Should Fire Hillary

September 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

International headlines have stacked up an impressive list of horribles for the United States this week. American embassies have been protested and attacked and an ambassador and three others were murdered. Warnings came in and were either ignored or treated as so much noise. Adequate security precautions were not taken. The president shirked most of [Read More…]

Presidential Creepiness, Bipartisan Edition

September 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Your diarist has long complained about the Obama campaign’s creepy sounding e-mails. So it’s only fair to note that I just got two e-mails in a row from Mitt Romney with the subject line “Fly with me.” [Read more…]
