Herman Cain Victory In Florida Reveals Tea Party Strength

By Peter Lee

The Chairman of Florida’s Orange County Republican Executive Committee, a group that doesn’t endorse before the primary, announced to the media a few weeks ago that he was endorsing Rick Perry for President. This was the host county of the Presidency 5 (P5) national debate and straw poll.

He is certainly permitted his opinion, but it may have been better to withhold his opinion in order to not potentially influence the straw poll voters…

Can We Fire The Students?

By Peter Lee

Public schools cannot fire a student. This is where a main difficulty with our system and the voucher conversation lies. While we agree that there is no Constitutional right to an education, we behave as if there were.

Children are falsely given an education as a right of existence on American soil. They and their parents do not earn the education they are given. Something given, over generations of time, has less and less value.

The Health Care Debate; The Pedophile Argument

By Peter Lee
EastSide TeaParty

Since the Health Care bill was introduced many have been debating portions of the bill saying they agree or disagree with sections of the bill. We have had debates about “death panels”, rationing, pre-existing conditions, abortion, and a laundry list of other issues related to this bill.

Reasonable people can agree and disagree with particular line items in any complex piece of legislation however, we must continue to look at the bigger picture which is easier to articulate.

War On Women Can Be Fought At The Polls

By Kim Carroll

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…

The Interest Bomb Is Ticking

By: George Noga

This post kicks off a three-part series about the crisis of spending, debt and deficits.

The next part deals with the interval between now and the inevitable arrival of the Minsky Moment, i.e. the unknown and unknowable time when an unsustainable economic phenomenon suddenly collapses.

The third post will address Gotterdammerung, or what happens after the Minsky Moment.

Is Mack Campaign Getting Desperate?

By Tom Tillison

It’s a fair guess that Connie Mack has seen some recent polling that has gotten his attention.

As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

Obama’s IPAB Death Panels Limit More Than Just Health Care Access

By L. Persona

Florida Democrats believe they can win a few Republican seats in Congress and are preparing a major offensive against several Republicans facing tough challenges this year. They believe that redistricting gives them a chance to offset the seats they are sure to give up.

However, the Democrats still fail to realize the albatross that ObamaCare places on their party’s efforts…

A Black Guy At The Dallas, TX Tea Party Rally

By Lloyd Marcus

A big well dressed black guy attended the Dallas, TX tea party rally with his white buddy. Both men missed my singing performance on stage minutes earlier.

I asked the black gentleman who had an impressive physique how often he worked out. He replied, “Everyday.” His white buddy said with a chuckle, “He thinks the Tea Party is racist.”
