Governor Sanford faces impeachment hearings

Everyone should be familiar by now with South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford and his infamous disappearing act in June. You know the one, where he went to Argentina to meet with his mistress and failed to put anyone in charge of the state while he was gone. He didn’t even notify most people of where [...]

If I Offend You, Have I Been Offensive?

I was recently reading a blog post dealing with racism when I read a question posted by a reader addressing two very minor parts of the blog site. The post on racism accused liberals of intentionally keeping blacks “down” by giving them welfare, food stamps, etc in order to keep them voting Democratic. The implication, [...]

To disagree with President Obama is not racism

I suppose you could say I have had this rolling around in my head for several days, possibly several months. There is something going on in America that has me very disturbed and that is the unfounded charges of racism that are being thrown at anyone who disagrees with President Barack Obama.
Even as far back [...]

Health care reform and illegal immigrants

Let me be up front and say that I am sick of this debate about health care reform and what the legislation does or does not contain. I have tried to be open minded and fair in the articles I write and have even defended parts of the legislation that is wallowing around in Congress. [...]

Governor Mark Sanford

When I first began hearing about South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, it was a pleasant surprise to hear about a politician who was a family man, who had conservative principles, and was not afraid to stand on those principles. He was being touted as a possible Presidential nominee for the Republican Party in 2012. The [...]

Mark Sanford says no bailout for South Carolina

Thanks to Tam, over at Bare Thoughts for alerting me to this article.
When President Bush, Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson, and Congress first got together and decided some of these companies needed a bailout, at our expense, there were very few people who stood up and said no, this isn’t the way to go. [...]

His name is Mike Huckabee, not Hucka(whatever)

Be forewarned, this may be considered a rant and may also offend some people, including some supporters of Mike Huckabee.
During Mike Huckabee’s campaign, I have sat idly by and watched the media and other personalities put him through a series of tests that no other candidate had to go through.  Every idle word he uttered [...]

A vote for Mike Huckabee is a vote for Mike Huckabee

Ever since the Flordia primary yesterday, a lot of political analysts and talking heads (as One Mom put it) have been trying their best to point out that Huckabee took a lot of votes away from Mitt Romney and that a vote for Huckabee was a vote for John McCain. I say they [...]

Huckabee moves on to Florida

After a clearly disappointing loss to John McCain, in South Carolina, the Huckabee campaign has an opportunity to succumb to a lot of “what ifs”.  What if Fred Thompson had not attacked Mike Huckabee with lies and deceit?  What if the snow had not fallen on Saturday?  What if the Huckabee campaign had bypassed Michigan [...]

Michigan primary results and on to South Carolina

Most of the major networks have called the Michigan Republican primary for Mitt Romney. With 39% of the precincts reporting, CNN has Mitt Romney with 39%, John McCain with 30%, and Mike Huckabee with 16%.  These results are not as good as I had hoped for but I suppose they are not too bad for [...]
