How Negative Campaigning Works March 6, 2013Dr. Charles T. Kenny
The record is clear: the only safe campaign strategy is to counter negatives proactively. Voters must be able to visualize the candidate in ways that contradict and transcend the negatives.
Making Big Differences February 27, 2013Cos E. Callis
It does a disservice to the GOP to focus too much attention on 'the little things' when there are three major failings in the prevailing Republican strategy that could have made a seismic difference in the outcome.
Why We Lost the Republic November 7, 2012Timothy C. Daughtry
Conservatives should be asking ourselves how the Obama camp got close enough to a majority vote to win the election -- if they indeed won it -- or even to steal it, if that is what really happened.
A Good Man November 6, 2012Simon de Hundehutte
A truly caring man, of a loving husband, of a gracious gentleman. This is the man who must be our next president.
Obama's Machiavellian Ploy November 6, 2012Glenn Fairman
If Obama can inflame the venal passions of envy and moral rot effectively into the sinews of the election, then perhaps -- against all odds and all political judgment and reasoning, he might prevail.
Voter Fraud in Nevada November 6, 2012Matthew Vadum
Culinary Workers Union Local 226 appears to be committing voter registration fraud by hoodwinking noncitizen immigrants into registering to vote.
The Election Will Not Be Close November 5, 2012Monty Pelerin
This country may be down and its people hurting, but it is not out. People understand that conditions need not be this way, and they are about to impose their remediation on Washington.
Obama: A Man Without a Conscience November 5, 2012Daren Jonescu
If a sane man lacks a capacity for stopping or rebuking himself, then we say he has no conscience. Barack Obama has long been a candidate for inclusion in the category of the conscienceless.
A Day Away November 5, 2012William L. Gensert
On November 6, I will cast my ballot for Mitt Romney and the promise of tomorrow. Everyone who feels the same -- and we are legion -- should get up and out on Election Day.
Questions Are Common; Answers Are Rare November 4, 2012Ronald Wieck
To argue that nobody should politicize a deadly terrorist attack is disingenuous and downright stupid. Policies produce outcomes, and one possible outcome is a terrorist attack.
Cowardly Lying November 3, 2012William L. Gensert
Baghdad Bob had one big lie: Saddam was winning. Benghazi Barack has a myriad of little lies spinning a web of delusion and deceit with every telling.
The Class of the Race November 3, 2012Frances Twitty
Do Americans believe that it has taken four years to lay the foundation for success? Isn't that kind of hard to swallow when we have spent four years witnessing all the partying, campaigning, spending, vacationing, and golfing?
Never Been So Happy to Be So Wrong November 3, 2012Aaron Reber
Obama's campaign is showing the signs of a presidency going down in flames: sputtering messaging, creepy ads comparing voting for Barack to losing your virginity, binders, Big Bird, polls collapsing, and a challenger who looks more like a president.
Lies, Damned Lies, and Goddamned Lies November 2, 2012Douglas Hackleman
The bottom line, of course, is that Obama was extorted by his own irresistible desire to win. He would fabricate his past, dissemble at will, slime any opponent, deny any friend in order to assure himself the White House.
Mormon 'Just So' Stories November 2, 2012Glenn Fairman
There is exactly zero percent chance that any outdated or perhaps fanciful Mormon theology is going to place manacles back on black people or to attenuate their status as equal and moral beings in any way.
Obama's Loss: Inevitable for Years November 1, 2012C. Edmund Wright
The pundits and the pollsters can argue political gravity all they want -- and they certainly have for the majority of the past four years -- but truth does not require validation from those who refuse to acknowledge it. Truth is...period.
The Hope and the Change: A Review November 1, 2012Andrew E. Harrod
For Americans considering their coming choice in the presidential election, Citizens United's one-hour stroll down Obama's memory lane is time well spent.
Despising America October 31, 2012Glenn Fairman
For four grueling gut-wrenching years we have peacefully grit our teeth while you have systematically kindled a conflagration between the productive and parasitic nodes of American society.
The Old [Electoral] College Try October 31, 2012Robert Morrison
Whatever the voters decide on November 6th, I hope we will hear an end to carping about the Electoral College. It has served us well over 224 years since the first election in 1788.
October Surprise October 31, 2012Glenn Fairman
Let us pray that we do not fall victim to the ultimate November Surprise: that on the morning of November 7, a man totally unworthy of our trust or our great legacy still smirks and bullies his way unimpeded through our hallowed mansion at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave,
The Fall of the House of Soetero October 30, 2012Glenn Fairman
For the impiety of having navigated our ship's compass bearing with the constellation of the sinister Crescent and Star while having offered our holy fire to false and venal gods, we duly witness with fear and trembling the tragic end of our Sun King.
Lunch Bucket Joe is not 'Joe Catholic' October 30, 2012Doug Mainwaring
Make no mistake about it. While Catholic dioceses and large Catholic institutions and organizations were the first to feel the sharp jab of the government's assault, this is part of a sustained attack on all people of faith.
Real Leaders Don't Promote Dependency October 30, 2012Rabbi Aryeh Spero
That which is intrinsically moral uplifts and builds; that which is emoted from feel-good sentiments alone often weakens the individual and results in catastrophic dependency.
Soft Bigotry of Campaign Expectations October 29, 2012Cindy Simpson
We've become such good sports at accepting low expectations for Democrat campaigning, and unrealistically high ones for Republicans, that any Republican's misstep is immediately pounced upon as hypocrisy, ignorance, or hate.
Osama Martyred, GM Dying, Al-Qaeda Alive October 28, 2012Anthony J. Ciani
Is Obama exhibiting the Dunning-Kruger effect (in which incompetents are unable to recognize their own incompetence), or is he just putting forth propaganda in the hopes that he receives a second term?
Bind On! October 28, 2012Frances Twitty
It is fitting and more than about time that the topic of women and their place in the workforce has entered the national discourse, thanks to the second presidential debate.
Bidding Adieu to Affirmative-Action Voting October 26, 2012Simon de Hundehutte
Could it be that Mr. Romney wants the healing of the nation to begin even before he's sworn into office? Is he trying to pour water onto this raging fire of divisiveness that has claimed America's soul these past four years?
Gay Republican Attacked, Sent to Hospital October 25, 2012Doug Mainwaring
The left oftentimes seems incapable of tolerating any level of ideological opposition. Opposition isn't to be challenged through reasoned argument and free and fair elections. No -- it must be eviscerated.
Why Romney is Winning the Women's Vote October 25, 2012Mike Stopa
If women were convinced in large numbers, after the first debate, to switch their fragile allegiance from Obama to Romney, then probably those women suspected already that there might be a special man hiding in there. Here's why.
Romnesia October 25, 2012Matthew May
The term Romnesia is instructive and reflects Obama perfectly. It is not presidential. It is not statesmanlike. It is a cheap shot aimed at cheap laughs. It doesn't really make much sense. It is a gimmick based on a fiction and the opposite of witty.
Democrat Boss Caught on Video Planning Vote Fraud October 24, 2012Selwyn Duke
This election is going to be the dirtiest in US history, mainly because the left moves ever further down the rabbit hole of relativism, which begets an end-justifies-the-means mentality.
The October Surprise Has Arrived October 24, 2012James Simpson
Obama will willingly make concessions -- or promises of the same -- to enemies who have sworn to destroy us, for the short-term benefit of an election.
Romney Rescues GOP Battle for the Senate October 23, 2012Jim O’Sullivan
With Romney's debate victories, the climate within key Senate races has changed; the declines in the fortunes of Republican candidates have been halted, and the battle for Senate control has again tightened.
A Most Pathetic 'Debate' October 23, 2012Michael Filozof
This presidential campaign has devolved into a plastic, synthetic, insincere, focus-grouped attempt to pry defined constituencies away from their iPhones long enough to put one party or the other into power.
'Get the transcript'? Okay -- let's get it October 22, 2012Daren Jonescu
So why was your administration blaming a video that few had seen, citing a protest that never happened, and exposing to public identification and danger the man who made this unrelated video?
Obama Is Right October 22, 2012William L. Gensert
It's not that he hasn't told us stories; it's that the ones he has told bear little resemblance to reality.
Last Debate Proves Mitt Way Ahead October 23, 2012C. Edmund Wright
Romney's campaign realizes Mitt is fast pulling away from Obama. Obama's slash and burn techniques show me that his campaign understands the same thing.
The 'War on Women' Backfires October 21, 2012Clarice Feldman
One of the intriguing aspects of this election is how the Democrats' shameless and clueless appeal to women is ending with the vaporization of the historic "gender gap" among voters.
Persuading the Undecided Voter October 21, 2012Jason Kissner
Obama's campaign is almost entirely predicated on the manipulation of base passions. So it stands to reason that Romney should appeal to higher emotions than those tapped by Obama.
A Moment of Arrogance October 18, 2012Michael Filozof
Little things can sometimes mean a lot, and throwaway lines spoken while a candidate is fumbling around for an answer can reveal something about his true mindset.
O-H-I-O: BO Must Go! October 18, 2012Frances Twitty
It is possible for the presidential election to be won without Ohio. But such a development has been exceedingly rare. The outcome in Ohio could very well decide the outcome of the presidential election.
Obama's Campaign Bus Parks on Top of Hillary October 17, 2012Jeannie DeAngelis
it appears that Hillary and Bill have decided that it would be politically expedient to "pull together" with a pusillanimous Democratic president running for re-election.
Who Was That Guy? October 17, 2012Bryce Buchanan
There was someone debating Governor Romney last night who said he loved free enterprise. He loved oil. He loved coal. He loved natural gas and pipelines
Journalists as Professionals October 17, 2012Matthew May
Last night's debate was merely the most recent iteration of the American press corps inserting themselves into a story and defining the story's narrative.
'We Must Unite' October 17, 2012Todd White
There is no such thing as an ideal candidate. We have our presidential ticket, and it is Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
Biden's Abortion Blarney October 15, 2012Selwyn Duke
Like a Saudi cleric, Biden was advocating the imposition of religious principles through government. And guess what? He's right to do so.
Two Mitt Romneys October 15, 2012Earick Ward
The American people got a peek behind the curtain. Let's hope that this was enough to move the needle towards reality.
Apologizing for America October 14, 2012Earick Ward
Martha Raddatz and the left as a whole don't see the distinction between apologizing for "bad acts" and bad actors and apologizing for the idea of America and our Foundational principles.
Romney's Edge October 13, 2012Jerrold L. Sobel
Never before in his brief but mercurial political career has Barack Obama faced an opponent willing to look him directly in the eye and expose his hollowness.
Is Politics Important? October 13, 2012Jim Yardley
Every single part and every single facet of your life is impacted by politics. Politics cannot be ignored.
I Must Have Missed It October 13, 2012Ebben Raves
Americans need to hear the truth about what our foreign policy is: who we support, who we oppose, to what degree and why.
Biden's Bully Pulpit October 13, 2012Russ Vaughn
It is highly likely that those who are praising Biden's performance are going to be jerked back to reality when the polls reveal America's response to his jerkish behavior.
The Obamage Is Done October 12, 2012William L. Gensert
Barack doesn't think he failed. He thinks we, as a people, are just not smart enough to see his true margin of victory.
The Left's Remaining Tactic October 8, 2012Bruce Johnson
It's predictable that policies, issues, and points were not emphasized as the reason for Romney's excellent debate performance.
