The word “Santorum” doesn’t appear in my local newspaper this morning but presidential candidate Rick Santorum could be leader of the free world or should I say the less free world. While Gingrich and Romney are presidential material, “President Sanatorium” scares the daylights out of me because he is small-minded in my opinion. Santorum has been [...]

Belichick, Newt and Obama: Let Them Score
Posted in politics, tagged Belichick, democrats, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Super Bowl on February 6, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I can’t stand Bill Belichick but must admit that he was smart to tell his Patriots defenders to allow the Giants’ Ahmad Bradshaw to score a touchdown in the last few minutes of the Super Bowl. Belichick did the calculations and knew he wanted the ball back in Tom Brady’s hands. The decision, which [...]
Democrats for Newt Gingrich….Really
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, Michelle Obama, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on January 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I am voting for President Obama in November and Newt Gingrich in March. Obama supporters in conservative states with open primaries should know that giving the president Newt as a target is as important as their general election vote. Every Mitt Romney associated super PAC T.V. ad regarding Newt’s negatives actually reinforces my contentions. The [...]
That S__ Crazy: Huntsman, Gingrich, Bishop, Romney
Posted in politics, tagged Jay Z, Jon Huntsman, newt, Newt Gingrich, Obama, rap, sanford bishop on January 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Kanye West saying ”That S__ Crazy” on that song with Jay Z is one cool rap lyric. But, the line should apply to some political matters as well. Jon Huntsman: The GOP had an opportunity to select this decent conservative as their nominee but he left the race while polling in the single digits. Huntsman could have easily [...]
Barack Al Gore Obama
Posted in politics, tagged Clinton, democrats, GOP, Gore, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich on January 8, 2012 | 4 Comments »
I see it coming from a mile away and know I am going to be ticked off by the Democrats. It happened before with Al Gore. Since Bill Clinton’s White House did some much for regular people and left a budget surplus, Al Gore should have been a shoe-in. But, some folks are too lazy [...]
2012 Political Season: Magic Wand and Understanding
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, GOP, hip hop, Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, sanford bishop, tea party on December 27, 2011 | 3 Comments »
If I could wave a magic wand on New Year’s Eve, the notations I would place in southern voters’ minds as we enter the election year would involve understanding. Kandi from the Real Housewives of Atlanta was in a hip hop group with T.I.’s lady Tiny back in the day and they had a hit called [...]
Genesis 4:15: Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman and Charlie Ward
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Huntsman, moderates, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on November 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
My thoughts today turn to Genesis 4:15, the original Cain, Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman and surprisingly Charlie Ward, Jr. From Sunday School, we remember that Cain killed his brother Abel and we joked “what did Eve do after Abel died…she raised Cain.” Seriously, I asked the Sunday school teacher (a high school student) “who was [...]
Rush Limbaugh’s 2008 “Support Hillary” Plan Could Help Obama 2012
Posted in politics, tagged Obama, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Hillary Clinton, Doug Banks, Tom Joyner, Jon Huntsman, Michael Baisden on November 18, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Did Rush Limbaugh create the operational plan in 2008 for Obama/Biden primary success in 2012? At the first public event for the unlikelyalliesproject.com, someone pointed out that Limbaugh created and pushed a national strategy which called for Republican crossover voting. The plan was for conservatives to vote for Hillary Clinton in open primary states and [...]
Open Letter: Regarding Southern Democrats and All Presidential Campaigns
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, GOP, Herman Cain, Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Rick Perry on November 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If the GOP presidential primary process continues deep into the winter, all candidates will benefit in some way (including President Obama.) We should pause to think about Tim Pawlenty and Mitch Daniels—good guys that most voters never got to know as presidential candidates because they exited too early. Those exits should be a lesson for [...]
Presidential Candidates: Rebranded
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Obama on November 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
When did branding become so important in politics? A brand, as defined by the American Marketing Association, is a name, term, sign, symbol or design or combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of others sellers. It is about [...]
Red State Democrats and Hillary’s PUMAs: Inconsequential or Potential Game-changers
Posted in politics, tagged Cain, Conservatives, democrats, Herman Cain, hillary, Huntsman, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Rick Perry on October 25, 2011 | 1 Comment »
To hear experts talk, the next presidential election will be decided in a few swing states. Democrats in red states must sit back, donate and watch. The only say many moderates have during the process is the primary elections. President Obama will be the Democrat nominee but should Dems hedge our bets by voting in [...]
Politics and Football’s Veer Option Offense
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, football, Herman Cain, Hershel Walker, hillary, J.C. Watts, Newt Gingrich, Obama on October 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Presidential politics puts college football’s option offense in my mind. Mixing metaphors is risk as we remember Obama/Palin with lipstick on a pig and more recently Herman Cain’s 999 with apples and oranges. Those other candidates at the Western debate knew full well what he was saying. State sales tax will still be there anyway [...]
Double Dog Dare: Primary Vote for Herman Cain
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, Herman Cain, Isakson, Mitt Romney, moderates, Newt Gingrich, Obama on October 17, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Herman Cain’s presidential campaign has created a fascinating scenario for southern voters. Since folks are digging his simple, straight-forward style, I will break it down straight, no chaser. Romney vs. Obama: The White House is prepping for Romney because he is the candidate, as a former moderate, who would be most attractive to centrist voters. [...]
The Entitlement Mentality: Unlikely Allies Project
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, hip hop, Newt Gingrich, youth on September 1, 2011 | 4 Comments »
An entertainer called Chapter recently released the satirical video “It’s Free, Swipe Yo EBT.” I was ticked off until I realized the song was a poor attempt at parody. But, the bigger questions are the social responsibility of so-called artists and the direct effect they have on the entitlement mentality. Warning: strong language If you [...]
Cynthia Tucker on Redistricting
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Blacks, Conservatives, Michael Steele, moderates, Newt Gingrich, sanford bishop on June 4, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Cynthia Tucker’s recent column on race and redistricting is so correct. She wrote: If black covers think they have made substantial gains simply by having more black representatives in Congress, they’re wrong. They’d have more influence if they were spread through several legislative districts, forcing more candidates to court them. My county is divided between [...]
Political Opponents: Stack the Deck or What the Heck
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, Congress, Conservatives, Georgia, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, saxby on May 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I am a good American who wants the best people governing. While I support candidates I find competent of any party, a quagmire results from deciding if I should hope for an opponent who is easier for my guy to beat or hope for a quality person who would serve well if elected. Obama is [...]
Black Elite: HistoryMakers and Who’s Next
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, Boehner, Michelle Obama, Newt Gingrich, sanford bishop, zell on March 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The HistoryMakers oral history videos on Rep. Sanford Bishop and Howard University Medical School professor Dr. LaSalle Leffall reminded me of the road Black America has travelled. This history series, which chronicles the “struggle,” provides useful insight on those shoulders we are standing. A young person watching these stories should feel guilt-ridden if they aren’t striving for [...]
GOP Candidate Barrack Obama: Child Please
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, Michelle Obama, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans on January 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If you watch CBS’s Sunday Morning this week, you might have caught Ben Stein tripping about Barrack Obama running for president in 2012…as a Republican. Barrack Obama, Ernest Hemingway and Arthur Ashe are the coolest cats ever in my opinion but watching the president catch all this heat is rough. Stein was joking but readers [...]

Political blogging has been interesting over the last few years, but now it’s time to get out and talk with real people about matters that are often missed. Since there is no need to discuss the same old same old, we have put together 10 questions than should be considered in 2010. We hope to [...]
Obamacrats: Get Smart and Scrappy
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, blue dogs, Congress, democrats, moderates, Newt Gingrich, Obama, Sherrod, tea party, youth on July 23, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I don’t care what anyone says; President Obama is exactly the president “candidate Obama” said he would be. The problem is people don’t know how to listen. He isn’t big on party politics because he didn’t spend that much time in the national arena before ascending to the top. That’s why he is constantly looking [...]
