Last Thursday Newt Gingrich told a crowd of senior citizens in New Hampshire, “The African-American community should… Continue reading Poverty In America – More Whites In Poverty Than Blacks
Apres-Primary Musings: Mitt Can’t Conquer the Mountain
We are not impressed.

Republican Debate – To Romney’s Delight, The Losers Attacked Each Other
With the Iowa primaries over and Mitt Romney crowned the winner by an apparent technicality, the expectation was that his fellow competitors would use whatever avenue they had available to show why they are more deserving of the Republican nomination.
