What Is Romney Thinking?

Published on January 6, 2019 By sirrahc

“I can’t figure out why Romney thought ribbing the president was strategically more useful than offering ideas to solve the problem at the border and get the government fully-funded.” — Newt Gingrich As you may have heard, former Massachusetts Governor and then-incoming Utah Senator Mitt Romney had a controversial op-ed published in The Washington Post […]

Rants and Reflections on the Election(s) (Part 2 of 2)

Published on November 14, 2012 By sirrahc

On Sunday I vented a bit. It needed to be done — and I think I spoke for many others, too –, so why not use the forum I have to make my opinions known, right? I called it a “rant”, but I think it was relatively tame, as rants go. Not an expletive or […]

Struggle Between Two Visions

I’ll make this short. The following are a few paragraphs excerpted from Sean Hannity’s book Conservative Victory (2010): “As harsh as Democrats and the liberal grass roots were in their eight straight years of attacks on George W.

Published on October 8, 2011 By sirrahc

In case you somehow missed it, there is a new controversy hovering around the Rick Perry camp. At the recent Value Voters Summit in D.C., Pastor Robert Jeffress (First Baptist Church of Dallas) made some politically incorrect and tactically questionable statements about Mitt Romney’s religious affiliation. When introducing Perry on stage, Jeffress gave his endorsement […]

Random Thoughts on the GOP Debate in Iowa

Published on August 13, 2011 By sirrahc

Well, semi-random? Nothing profound. No comprehensive analysis. Just a few miscellaneous comments. 1) When Pawlenty was challenging Bachmann’s record, I thought she did an OK job of defending herself, stressing her consistency on the issues and being the “tip of the spear”, etc. But, I can’t help thinking that she could have reminded him of […]
