Powell told me everything I need to know about Theodore Roosevelt, and the progressive Republican party, whose warfare philosophy hasn’t changed in over one hundred-forty years.

Even with Newt’s consolidated momentum, he’s still a soft front-runner.

Ron Paul needs to force the Tea Party voters to ask themselves if they were really genuine in their desire for small, limited government.

The Republicans will mouth a few “small government” pieties against the Democrats just to hold office for them and their whorehouse consultant buddies. They care as much for small government as the Democrats who meet at the Martha’s Vineyards and Hampton soirees care for “the poor”.

Meanwhile, the lemmings are falling off the cliff for their NEWTONIAN hero (Gingrich).

As far as I can tell he was a legitimate M.D. (Indiana University) and long-time university chemistry teacher when he started getting into government work. I agree that he and TR were wrong, but I hope you aren’t tossing a word like “quack” around just based on difference in beliefs about the role of government.

Pretty original, right? But that’s where we are. We all know what we have in the Democrats. Nothing good and no chance of redemption. I’ve hated them since I was a kid in the 1950’s. But the real burr under my saddle is the Republican party. They remind me of a combination of the Keystone Cops and the Marx Brothers. Here we have a sitting president so obviously inept, obviously corrupt and obviously an actual enemy of the country that a defeat in 2012 should be a forgone conclusion. Yes, Newt has warts. Romney has warts. Bachmann has warts and so on down the line. But, instead of getting their game together and fighting for the future of America they continue to quibble over the usual inside the beltway infighting and government business as usual. AS the great philosopher, Buggs Bunny used to say “What a bunch of Maroons”. I have always resisted a third party for obvious reasons but I am ready to sign up and go on the attack. I hate the Democrat party like a bunch of snakes in a school yard but it’s the Republican party that brings on indigestion.
