Is The Attack On Herman Cain An Attack On The Tea Party?

By Ron McCoy

I am starting to believe that the accusations against Herman Cain are an attack against the will of the people.

After all, Herman Cain is a political outsider who was upsetting the status quo and beginning to pose a real threat to those in power. In particular, I am sure Obama was not too happy about the prospects of facing a guy like Herman Cain in the debates.

Why Is Herman Cain Still Leading In The Polls?

By Ron McCoy

He’s still leading for corn sake!! How can that be? Is it a flying bird, is it a plane? No.. it’s Herman Cain.

The last few months have been very revealing in more than one sense of the word. When our own President and former house speaker Nancy Pelosi came out in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement, it revealed something…

Attacks On Herman Cain Are Bothersome

By Ron McCoy

The recent attacks on Herman Cain are something we should all be paying attention to and raises more questions about the media, DC, and the political “machine” than it answers.

Personally, I am sick of hearing about the whole story and feel it serves no purpose other than to cast doubt in the minds of voters and line the pockets of the media…

9-9-9 Is Not The Reason To Vote For Herman Cain

By Ron McCoy

If you have not heard of the 9-9-9 Plan by now, you must be sleeping under a rock at a local Occupy Wall Street protest.

Like everyone else, I want to learn more about the plan but I’m more concerned that people realize and understand that the substance behind the man is more important than the substance behind the plan.

Is The Occupy Wall Street Movement Reflective Of The Tea Party?

Ron McCoy

I would say emphatically NOT! While the tea party took a stand in March of 2010, many Americans were too busy hailing their new Campaigner in Chief.

It was only the tea party folks who were smart enough to realize that our freedoms and liberty were under attack and that they have been for years.

Google Searches Reveal Americans Are Raising Cain

Ron McCoy

My oldest son Dakota has come to learn a lot over the last few years and I have come to learn a few things from him as well.

When we decided to start a tea party eighteen months ago, he was skeptical of the idea and assumed that not enough would show up. He has realized over the last…

The Tea Party Goes Global…Really

By Ron McCoy

One of the most interesting things I have failed to mention to most people is just how far reaching the tea party movement is. Last fall, when Marco Rubio was running for US Senate, our tea party got a few calls from media outlets overseas as they tried to understand the tea party.

Why was Marco Rubio such a success and who is this group known as the tea party? The World had become curious…

Romney And Cain Battle For Our Future

By Ron McCoy

America has an opportunity to take the political process to an entirely new level. For the first time in modern history, Americans can finally feel like they have a say in how our country should be run.

I can only hope that we all take the time to realize the opportunity that exists and not allow the media and political class to persuade us otherwise. We may never get another chance.

Bill O’Reilly And The Pundits Are Clueless

By Ron McCoy

After watching Herman Cain destroy his competition in the Florida straw poll recently, I started paying close attention to the media to see how they would diminish the result.

Like Bill O’Reilly, most in the media are way off the mark when it comes to evaluating Mr. Cain’s chances. As far as I am concerned, they are in denial whether intentional or not. I think maybe someone like Bill just doesn’t talk daily with people like the rest of us…

Florida And Herman Cain Sent A Strong Message To The Country

By Ron McCoy

On Saturday, the state of Florida and Herman Cain sent a strong message that I hope the rest of the country hears – stand on principles and ignore the pundits if you want to change our country.

Many of the people at the Presidency 5 straw poll were abuzz about the convention but one candidate’s name kept coming up: Herman Cain…

War On Women Can Be Fought At The Polls

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.”
