Exacerbating Distrust
Even Mitt Romney’s advisors will admit that they see what the rest of us see. In the Real Clear Politics polling average going back all the way to November of 2010, Mitt Romney has never gotten above 25.0% in the polling average. It is a real ceiling for him. The campaign had hoped that by [...]
Nostalgia & Decline
Apple has out a new app in its App Store — Cards. You can take a picture on your phone, design a card, and have it sent via the post office to someone. Think about that for a minute. In an age of digital communications, text messages, emails, and cell phones, Apple has produced a [...]

Dems Have No Regrets Taking Wall Street Money While Backing #OccupyWallSt
According to Senator John Kerry [D-MA], just because you take someone’s money doesn’t mean you have to support them. In fact, even though Kerry’s raked in well over $1 million from those ‘fat cats’ on Wall Street, according to his apparent logic, taking campaign donors’ money while spitting in their eyes is quite alright. That’s [...]
Save Tech Jobs from Obama’s Regulatory Apocalypse
There’s an inverse relationship between the size and scope of government and the health of our free-market economy. That’s why House Republican’s made deregulation a cornerstone of our American Jobs Plan. Every new rule, mandate, and regulatory edict is one more obstacle that small business owners, entrepreneurs, and job creators have to swallow. That holds [...]
The CNN Debate: Where Has This Perry Been?
My quick thoughts before I get back on radio (you can listen and call in): 1. Where has this Rick Perry been? Finally, the guy showed up with unscripted, from the gut answers. The few scripted answers fell flat (see e.g. Jeffres). The rest were good. He’s not the best debater. But he certainly did [...]

Herman Cain, Gilad Shalit, and Emptying GITMO in Exchange for One Captive Soldier
Herman Cain is taking a beating – at least judging by my email inbox – over a line he uttered in the interview below with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer earlier today: The part that folks are taking serious issue with takes place between 0:48 and 1:09, and the transcript is as follows: BLITZER: Imagine if you [...]

The Quickly Evolving 9-9-9
This just in via AEI. I am not making this up. This is from an interview of The Wall Street Journal’s Steve Moore on Larry Kudlow’s radio show. I love the idea [of a 9 percent national sales tax]. As you know, Art Laffer and I helped design the plan. But I’ve come to the conclusion that [...]
