Occam’s Razor

[Written by Fred Wickham, reposted from Bullseye Rooster] My debate plan. I can share this because I know no Republican candidates, nor their staffs, will be reading my blog. I have made it unavailable to them. Here’s the plan — and the debate’s sponsors have taken me up on it. So be ready for fireworks […]

Suspense?

Is God that Fickle?

© Clay Bennett Even though Michele Bachmann won the straw poll in Iowa, she has been trailing badly since then, and is struggling now in fourth place behind Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Ron Paul. Perry is currently the Tea Party flavor of the month, but it will be interesting to see how he does […]

Why I’m Voting Republican

by Art Buck, from the Ashland Daily Tidings I have been following the election build-up and I’ve made up my mind: I am voting a straight Republican ticket.
