Ezra Grant — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:08:13 +0000

Amazingly, it Jon Stewart and Comedy Central who are doing the work the so-called “Main Stream Media” should be doing. Stewart’s guest on Wednesday August 29th was Republican Presidential primary candidate, Herman Cain.

Obama To Romney – Release 5 Years, We’ll Leave You Alone. Romney Says “No”

Ezra Grant — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 17:56:40 +0000

President Barack Obama’s campaign manager offered Mitt Romney’s campaign manager a “deal” on Friday, essentially saying that if Romney releases just three more years of tax returns, they’ll stop hammering him for not releasing more, even though Obama has made 12 years of his financial history public. Team Romney, of course, politely refused. “Governor Romney apparently […]

Ezra Grant — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 16:21:04 +0000

You can fool some of the people some of the times (we will call these people Republicans), but you can’t fool all the people all the time, and that is the pickle Mitt Romney has found himself in, as a new poll is suggesting that his lies to get elected are not working with the […]

Mitt’s Bad Trip

Robert I. Grundfest — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 17:00:00 +0000

If a Democratic strategist adopted an alias and described his vision of Mitt Romney’s trip overseas, it wouldn’t have been better than what’s actually happened. We can give Mitt credit for one bit of truth: He didn’t want his trip to mirror Barack Obama’s overseas adventure in the summer of 2008, which saw oversized crowds […]

Ezra Grant — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 02:58:35 +0000

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul will shrink rather than increase the nation’s huge federal deficits over the next decade, Congress’ nonpartisan budget scorekeepers said Tuesday, supporting Obama’s contention in a major election-year dispute with Republicans.

Ezra Grant — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 16:41:50 +0000

As Donald Trump would say, what the Supreme Court did Thursday in upholding President Obama’s Affordable Healthcare Act is “HUGE!” Even Mitt Romney realized the magnitude of what would happen if ObamaCare was declared constitutional.

NBC/Marist Poll Gets It Right

Robert I. Grundfest — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 00:59:20 +0000

On the heels of last week’s NBC News/Marist polls that underpolled Republicans and made it look as though the president was ahead when he really wasn’t, today’s NBC polls got it pretty much right. That’s good news for Obama in Nevada, Colorado, and Iowa. In Nevada, Obama leads Romney by 48%-46%. The real voter breakdown […]

“I don’t know whose record [Romney] twisted the most, mine or his.” – Barack Obama

Ezra Grant — Fri, 25 May 2012 14:54:34 +0000

President Obama offered an earthy rural metaphor to blast Mitt Romney last night in Iowa, saying the Republican candidate offered voters “a cowpie of distortion” in a recent speech. “I don’t know whose record he twisted the most,” Obama said. “Mine or his.” Speaking to supporters at the state fairgrounds in Des Moines, Obama said […]

Since I didn’t post a Polling Report for Nevada, my public wanted to know if there was a problem, or if I was indeed in good health. All is well. I’ve just been saying for a while that Mitt will be the nominee in posts both recent and past, and there aren’t too many other […]

Sunshine State Recap: Mitt In A Walk

Robert I. Grundfest — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:08:14 +0000

At least it was quick and fairly painless. Not for Newt, but for the rest of us who need to move on to something important like Friday’s jobs numbers or the Super Bowl. How’d I do? Again, not bad. My prediction is first, then the actual. Romney 43% 46% Gingrich 31% 32% Santorum 14% 13% […]

Polling Report: Special Florida Edition

Robert I. Grundfest — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:31:30 +0000

I thought this one might be more fun, but Mitt’s got Florida all sewn up. It will be the first non-New England state he’ll have won so far, and if he gets over 40% (he will) he can claim a sizable mandate for the nomination. Newt is sounding too screechy these days, and his call […]

The Republican Debate – Who Won, Who Lost And Who Kept Us Laughing

Ezra Grant — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:58:40 +0000

The clear winner on stage last night was Willard Romney. It was obvious that he came to the debate with one goal in mind, and that was to get Newt Gingrich. Mission Accomplished. Newt on the other hand, wasn’t Newt. He was either mentally missing in action or wasn’t prepared for the unusual aggression he […]

Mitt Romney Admits His Tax Rate Is Probably 15 Percent

Ezra Grant — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:55:21 +0000

Ever wonder why Mitt Romney is so hesitant to do the right thing and release his tax returns? Well maybe the reason has something to do with his tax rate – a rate the Republican frontrunner admits is “probably” less than 15%. Meanwhile, middle class America pays a rate of 38%. GOP presidential front-runner Mitt […]

It’s Capital, Not Capitalism

Robert I. Grundfest — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 16:39:49 +0000

Mitt Romney has said on the campaign trail that an attack on him is an attack on capitalism. Aside from being a self-serving, disingenuous, mendacious statement (which is enough, don’t you think?), it also shows how shallow and dangerous the Republican party has become. Romney’s career at Bain Capital is a touchstone for his presidential […]

Apres-Primary Musings: Mitt Can’t Conquer the Mountain

Robert I. Grundfest — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:05:23 +0000

We are not impressed. If Mitt Romney can’t muster over 40% of the vote in a backyard state against a field of sub-par candidates with extreme positions on the issues, then he’s not ready yet for his curtain call. Yes, it certainly was a good day for Romney, but not as good as his victory […]

Ezra Grant — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:11:22 +0000

Unless you’re earning over $1 million a year that is, then you will see your taxes cut by as much as $146,000 a year.

A Republican debate happened yesterday and Romney stood above the fighting fray, walking away with little or no real attacks on him or his record. A Republican debate happened today, and things were much different, as Romney took swings from Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman. But Newt Gingrich took to the floor with one clear […]
