When Liberals Are Right?

So, I was thinking to myself, "even a broken clock is right two times per day." Of course for liberals, this is a generous amount and in no way makes up for them being wrong every other minute of the day however, isn't it fair to say that some points might be correct?

I try to be a fair person, contrary to what people may think of me and my passion for politics. However, after careful analysis of the issues I take interest in, I am mostly siding with my friends on the right. There are many issues, more than I care to even admit, that I have no clue about and therefore I typically refrain from even mentioning these issues, since I am probably busy reading and studying about something else.

Some issues I do seem to lean towards liberal thought but in no means do I believe you should ever force your opinion on others using the government.

Is Newt Your Man?

The polls are showing Newt Gingrich as a front runner now. What do you think? I actually like Gingrich and with the meltdown from the Cain camp, Newt is someone I feel comfortable standing behind.

Cain Denies Allegations

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain delivers a speech about foreign policy at Hillsdale College on Nov. 29, 2011 in Hillsdale, Mich.

Will Cain go on? News is looking pretty bleak for Herman Cain and his run for American president. With all the recent allegations from women concerning sexual harassment and a recent claim of a 13-year long affair, it looks and feels as though this is the end of the road for Cain.

“Since I’ve been campaigning all week, I haven’t had an opportunity to sit down with her and walk through this with my wife and my family. I will do that when I get back home on Friday,” Cain told reporters gathered at his New Hampshire campaign headquarters Wednesday night. “I am not going to make a decision until after we talk face to face.”

I wonder what that conversation is going to sound like.
