I’ve been doing a fair bit of driving lately, often between the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Québec City. Entertainment while behind the wheel is typically my car stereo as my vehicle is over 15 years old and doesn’t have a CD player. Anyone remember cassettes? I make good use of

Red Tory v.3.0.3: Game Over for Santorum
At Gettysburg, PA (of all places!) Rick Santorum announced today that he’s throwing in the towel on his bid to become the Theocrat in Chief of the United States. No surprise really, considering that in all probability he would otherwise have lost the primary later this month in his home
Continue readingLeDaro: Evolution and Republican Nomination Race
There is a serious misconception that Democrats believe in evolution and Republicans don’t. Republicans not only believe in evolution but that they practice it plentifully. You have to look at the current race for the Republican Presidential nomination race and you will understand what I mean. They understand and practice
Continue readingProgressive Proselytizing: The importance of fundamentals for a stable nomination race
For any analyst, covering this GOP Presidential Nominee race is a humbling experience. Almost everybody – myself included – has made bad predictions. It has been so wildly unpredictable and erratic experiencing swings up and down in the polls for almost every candidate. While the eventual winner, Mitt Romney, has long
Continue readingSantorum’s House of Fear
That dull roar you hear is the sound of All The Internets laughing uproariously at Rick Santorum’s new, desperately dramatic campaign commercial, “Obamaville”, a glimpse at America’s dystopian future under a second Obama term. “Obamaville” is a post-apocalyptic Anytown USA, where religious freedom has been snuffed out like a candle,
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Subliminal Frames
If you’ve watched Santorum’s “Obamaville” web advert once or twice, it’s easy to miss a number of what can only be described as “subliminal” images as they appear for only a fraction of a second and often in rapid succession. Whether or not that advertising tactic actually works is highly
Continue readingDeSmogBlog: Tracking The Origins Of The "Blame Obama For Gas Prices" Talking Point
4+dollar+gas.jpg Since at least last summer, conservatives have been parroting the oil industry talking point that President Obama is somehow the one responsible for the spike in gasoline and oil prices. As we have pointed out, they base this on their assertion that the President has been “hostile” towards the
Continue readingLeDaro: Senator Rick Santorum race for the Whitehouse
When my kids were very young I used to watch Bugs Bunny Road Runner with them. Poor coyote was never able to catch the Road Runner. Santorum has the same problem as he has no hope in hell to get the Republican nomination. Romney has won Illinois by a double-digit
Continue readingShameful: Rick Santorum uses Obama daughter as political football
Children of presidents are normally off-limits to journalists. That is, Republican presidential children are exempt from scrutiny and mockery in the media. When Bush’s daughters were snorting coke and drinking themselves into oblivion during W.’s reign, a photograph of the daughters falling down drunk circulated but the media did its best to
Continue readingCalgaryGrit: Meanwhile, South of the Border
Despite a pair of humiliating set-backs in Alabama and Mississippi last week, Mitt Romney is still on course to stumble over the finish line in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Despite an overwhelming desire to find anyone else up to the job, the Anybody But Romney options have
Continue readingLike porn? You won’t like a Santorum presidency.
In another sign just how dangerous to freedom and the American way Rick Santorum really is, this statement from the presidential contender should send chills down one’s spine. Current federal “obscenity” laws prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops

… two Bible-belt states… and some folks are surprised? Really? On the radio this morning, I hear him say to a crowd after the wins: “The most common thing I have people saying to me is that “I am praying for you”. …and the audience yells “Amen!” Yeah. And there

The U.S. has troops in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, and numerous other countries, and there’s some definite sabre rattling happening right now in the direction of Iran from some quarters. Often times western powers are battling with religious extremists, Islamic fundamentalist with an extreme interpretation of the Muslim holy book, the

Rick Santorum and the dark side seem a natural fit. Maybe it’s his count Dracula look or those sweater vests that project inner darkness. So it comes as no surprise that the devil is in fact a large part of Rick’s larger world view. Topping the list of Santorum’s many

Ron Paul: There has been a lot of buzz recently about the fact that Ron Paul, while viscously attacking his other opponents, seems to give Ron Paul a free pass. And vice versa. ThinkProgress has a count which shows that Ron Paul has, despite 20 debates and 39 attacks on other
