Pardon My Politics

The Republican Party has a penchant for nominating “nobodies” for President lately. Let us remind ourselves of some recent disasters.

John LeBoutil­li­er, a for­mer U.S. Con­gress­man and a na­tion­al­ly-rec­og­nized po­lit­i­cal com­men­ta­tor, shares his predictions on Iran, President Obama, 2010 mid term elections, John McCain’s angst, Sarah Palin’s increased popularity, the rise of the Tea Party (along with the fall of the Republican Party), and more.

No oth­er Re­pub­li­can lead­er has the stature or ex­pe­ri­ence of Dick Ch­eney. He alone can lead the Re­pub­li­can coali­tion to vic­to­ry in 2012. There’s even site, pos­si­bly a joke, tout­ing a Palin/Ch­eney tick­et in 2012.

Overall, Tuesday was a huge step away from Obama and his Lurch to the Left. What impact will these off-off-year elections have nationally? Nervousness abounds now that the Left might drag the Democrats over the cliff in 2010 the same way G.W. Bush took the GOP over the cliff in 2006 and 2008.

Michael Bloomberg bought New York City again yes­ter­day. New York City had just be­come ir­re­place­able to the bil­lion­aire turned faux politi­cian. Nev­er mind that he had open­ly crit­i­cized Rudy Giu­liani for want­ing to stay on an ex­tra three months. When you are deal­ing with an ego the size of Bloomberg’s, your mem­o­ry is se­lec­tive and short. What Mike Bloomberg did yes­ter­day was say that he alone was more im­por­tant than the peo­ple he claims to want to serve.
