South Carolina Shreds Mitt’s Inevitability Cloak!

Posted January 21st, 2012 by ironmike

South Carolina voters  spoke volumes today, so I’ll be brief.

I listened to all four speeches tonight. Three candidates spoke of continuing their campaigns.

One spoke of taking on Obama – defeating him, and restoring American Values to our country and our government.

Newt spoke most graciously and inclusively about his three rivals. It was a class act. It was a clear demonstration of a future president ready to unite, repair, and lead the restoration of American Greatness.

I hope the 51 members of the MassGOP who made such a public blunder on November 30th are at least humble enough to be second-guessing their vote tonight.

That “Maybe” Smells Mitt!

Posted January 20th, 2012 by ironmike

Nobody begrudges you your hard-earned fortune Mitt.  Least of all me.

You’ve been running for President since 2006.  You’ve had a full six years to think, anticipate, and plan.  What part of your cautious cover-all-eventualities personality thought you’d get to make this run without releasing your taxes?

So you fail the 10 word sound-bite:

  “…he hid his fortune in the Cayman Islands!”  

In just 8 short words – however loaded, false, or skewed they are – the Democrats destroy you.  You really never saw this coming? Read more »

After watching this, Obama must be hiding under his desk and praying to Mecca for Mitt!

Dem’s ‘Gridlock’ Deception

Posted January 19th, 2012 by ironmike

For over fifty years Democrats have mastered and ruthlessly used catchwords and sound-bites to cover their scurrilous agenda and steer the national debate in their favor.

For 2012 their buzzword will be ‘Republican Gridlock’!

Don’t buy into it – that ‘gridlock’ was the only thing that saved our Republic from an Obama Bankruptcy!

Let’s briefly discuss the agendas and the sound-bites: Read more »

Yet Another Kiddie-Porn Teacher

Posted January 18th, 2012 by ironmike

It’s happened again – community shock and outrage, quiet denial, questioning, worried parents wondering if their kids were victims.

David Ettlinger – a 2nd grade teacher at Newton’s Underwood Elementary for 12 years – is in jail – found with a stash of kiddie porn – and little girls’ underwear.

Newton may feel as betrayed as Attleboro Police Chief Kyke Heagney who believes a ‘rogue cop’ stole drug evidence from his department’s evidence vault.

I have a solution for both schools and police departments. Read more »

Newt got a standing ovation!

Thinking Back – MLK Jr

Posted January 15th, 2012 by ironmike

I was still a young man – and a young soldier – when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. The fires that tore through our cities and our souls in the weeks that followed are still vivid memories. So I thought a gentler reminder and historical image might be nice.

‘Oh SHIP!’ Costa Concordia Capsized

Posted January 14th, 2012 by ironmike

Over built – over priced – undertrained crew – overstuffed with 4,234 souls – what could possibly go wrong?

Early reports – 69 missing – 18 injured 3 dead – tiny island of Giglio overwhelmed.  Built in 2005 – owned by Carnival.
Sort of looks like where our economy is headed under Capn Obama…

Political Dogfight In South Carolina

Posted January 13th, 2012 by ironmike

In the muddy waters of the Great Pee Dee River – some Republicans and most of the RiNOs are running scared.

Yankee politicians are regarded with a healthy degree of distain in the South – as frontrunner Mitt Romney is finding out.  Smarting from his 4th place finish in New Hampshire, Newt is gaining ground [remember - he’s from Georgia] while Yankees Romney and Santorum are struggling.

The attack ad ‘King of Bain’ is having an effect – much to the consternation of pundits and Klingons like Rudi Giuliani.

Rick Perry also attacked Romney’s Bain Capital record as ‘vulture capitalism’. Read more »
