Romney owns the first debate

October 4, 2012 by

If President Obama showed up to the debate last night expecting a gaff prone Mitt Romney, he was quickly disabused of that sentiment. Unlike his debate coach, John Kerry, Romney was energetic, in control of the facts, and ready to command the stage. In other words, he was Presidential.

Will the real America stand up and lead?

Financially, we’re not better off, says the US Census. Especially young workers.

September 12, 2012 by

With 53 percent of 18-24 year olds living back at home with their parents, it should come as no surprise that support among the young for Obama has fallen. Young voters between ages 18 and 29 have been among the groups hit hardest by the recession, with 12.7 percent unemployed and nearly a third underemployed.

By seeing through eyes that neglect America’s unique “exceptionalism” in the world, Obama Administration foreign policy have threatened our stature on the world stage. In hitting the “reset” button, Obama has failed to consider the ultimate result in that reset on America and the world.

BYU v. Mitt Romney: who will Utah watch?

August 30, 2012 by

BYU? Or Mitt Romney? What will you watch tonight?

Tonight, in an event historic for many in Utah, Mitt Romney will take the stage at the Republican National Convention and accept the Republican nomination for President. He’s Utah’s favorite adopted son, “savior” of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and both he and Ann are BYU alumni.

Speaking of BYU, it’s the football season opener tonight. [cont…]
