Romney and Bush.jpg In the last few months, the press has been drawing a lot of parallels between presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and former Republican President George W. Bush. And they have plenty of reasons for doing so. Romney has already tapped many of the same Bush economic

I have long given up trying to fathom the ‘mind’ of America. The behaviour of its political leaders, both Democratic and Republican, and the following such behaviour inspires, leaves me particularly perplexed. However, Mitt Romney’s recent foray abroad to display his foreign policy bona fides has at least provided me

Screen Shot 2012-07-24 at 2.27.06 PM.png This is a guest post by Heather Libby. A new video from the Post Carbon Institute pokes fun at the Keystone XL pipeline’s tendency to reappear no matter how very little we want it around – much like an ex-boyfriend who won’t get the

When I watch this latest attack ad from the Mitt Romney campaign, I can't help thinking how desperate he must be, and how much money he must have. If he can outspend even Obama. Read more »

If I could write Obama’s speeches so as to best influence the national conversation in a positive way, they would have simply no mention of religion. Our society is best served by candidates being chosen not by a religious litmus test but by a robust debate on the relevant political

I don’t normally like to make predictions. Mostly because I don’t like being wrong on the record. However, I would like to predict that there is a good chance that Mitt Romney will pick Ohio Senator Rob Portman as his Vice-Presidential running mate. Mitt Romney is not a gambler. He

When I watch this ad, I am reminded that the U.S. presidential election is now less than four months away. And how the right-wing billionaire's club that paid for it is going all out to remove Obama from office. Read more »

The sun is shining. The flowers are blooming. We are in a year that is divisible by four. I think we all know what that means. In a matter of months, our American friends will once again start hanging chads or whatever it is they do to hold a presidential
