Santorum Exposed * Open Thread »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Mar 16, 2012 in Current Affairs | 58 Comments

Just spotted this in a Tweet. Below the video is a short commentary by the videographer: First, Santorum wanted to raise the retirement age. Then, in 2005 he said it had to be an option. In 2006, he came out against raising the retirement age.

Oh Canada! Open Thread »

First, lest I forget, I have to share a couple prize comments from the quick wits at CNN’s Outfront. That’d be host Erin Burnett and her frequent guest John Avlon, a delightful guest and substitute host on The John Batchelor Show, and an avowed moderate active in “No Labels.” Avlon is married to Margaret Hoover, [...]

Friday Night Frights * Open Thread »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Mar 9, 2012 in Current Affairs | 60 Comments

I was just casually reading a post I wrote years ago after Byron York attacked Larry Johnson. Given Larry’s “Going to War With Iran?,” I’m posting a relevant segment. One of the names will turn you off. Screw that. What matters is not who said it but that it had to be said again. [T]his [...]

9.1 Open Thread »

NINE POINT ONE. 9.1. Uh, wasn’t unemployment just in the 8 range? Weren’t Obama and crew sporting swaggers, certain they will crush the GOP in November? Well, that only works if one depends on crossing one’s fingers. Especially if one blows three years of a presidency, particularly the rare golden years of an all-Democratic Congress. [...]

Barbara Bush Campaigns for Romney in “Super Tuesday” states »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Mar 6, 2012 in Current Affairs | 13 Comments

In a way, this robo-call says it all. Can you imagine Barbara Bush agreeing to do a robo-call for Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich? Can you? There is no way she’d ever do it. After all, the woman has class. Yes, she is a dutiful Republican, but she’d never go the extra mile — make [...]

Doin’ It Like Bunnies Open Thread »

Boy, I tell you! The Republicans have obviously not gotten any for a while because they’ve been doin’ it with nearly every candidate. Hopping around the candidates like bunnies! There were a lot of one-night stands, a few relationships that lasted weeks, but most Republicans behaved like teenage rabbits. The whole concept of “until death [...]

The Humane Side of Romney Shines Through »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Mar 5, 2012 in Current Affairs | 65 Comments

Fox panelist Steve Hayes tweeted, “The best moment in the campaign for Romney … Compassionate, sincere and tough. And authentic.” Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com It is my sincere belief that Barack Obama would find similar words but is incapable of expressing the same emotions. Why? Barack Obama is too cool, too hip, and [...]

Today’s WA State Caucus Results [UPDATES] »

UPDATE: Bret Baier’s panel spoke highly of Mike Huckabee’s forum today. Huckabee’s show reruns at midnight, and tomorrow. The panel spoke particularly about Romney’s ability to truly connect with a father whose military son suffered traumatic brain injury, and Romney’s later conversation with the father about his small business, which the panelists found a compelling [...]

Weekend Open Thread * Limbaugh? Must We? Really? »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Mar 2, 2012 in Current Affairs | 121 Comments

Do we have to discuss the latest Rush Limbaugh idiocy? God I hope not. But … we should remind ourselves of Limbaugh’s blathering on and on without an iota of fact-checking. We know the man isn’t a journalist, but he is on “news radio,” which creates a false assumption that he knows about, cares about [...]

Education: It CAN Be Improved »

Thanks to a 33-year-old interim vice superintendent who is one very impressive man … thanks to the concentrated efforts of a New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, whose talent for and experience in leadership set statewide standards … thanks to students who saw that things were different and who rose to the occasion … and thanks [...]

Huge News: Romney rises as Santorum’s support is in freefall »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Mar 1, 2012 in Current Affairs | 137 Comments

So much for the MSM’s favorite claim that Romney couldn’t break out of his 25% spot! FIRST, to emphasize just how HUGE this poll is, read this from Rasmussen Reports: “Two weeks ago, it was Santorum 39%, Romney 27%.” What a shift. I can’t quite get over how GOP voters jumped on the Santorum bandwagon [...]

Andrew Breitbart »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Mar 1, 2012 in Current Affairs | 78 Comments

I awakened to the news that the 43-year-old Andrew Breitbart, a major figure in conservative media, died of natural causes around midnight. (See the tribute to Breitbart at one of his popular sites, Big Hollywood.) Fox News Network has been full of calls by so many people who knew Breitbart well — from Tucker Carlson [...]

You Hit It, KenoshaMarge & Open Thread »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Feb 29, 2012 in Current Affairs | 82 Comments

KenoshaMarge penned a comment that I wish Mitt Romney could read himself: The frantic anti-Romney media will play this as a bad “win” because it was so close in Michigan. Romney had the best answer for that when he said, “We didn’t win by much, but we won by enough.” The fact that Romney wins [...]
