Battleground poll – majority consider themselves conservative

By Steve McGough / October 13, 2008 /

Conservatives are the majority. Some may consider us the silent majority since we tend to keep our mouths shut, but again, the most recent Battleground Poll shows our numbers near 60 percent. Liberals and socialists frequently call us racist bigots, warmongers, capitalist pigs and downright mean but maybe it’s time politicians start standing up for…

Hinderaker takes on Obama concerning math and taxes

By Steve McGough / November 15, 2012 /

Last night, John Hinderaker called out President Obama on his ability to calculate the results of his tax plan. I did the same thing on Nov. 7, and I’m hoping* the media will also take a few minutes to run the numbers based on tax data collected.

Half of health care uninsured don’t know they are required to buy insurance under Obamacare

By Steve McGough / June 28, 2013 /

Surprise! I was quite certain a significant number of the health care uninsured – a relatively small number in the US – would not know they will be required to go out and buy health care insurance on their own. Now that everyone should be aware of the health care legislation, Gallup went out and…

Let’s discuss the conservative viewpoint of the populist nightmare. Listen to any stump speech by your local, state and national politicians who are running for office and count the number of times he or she makes a promise to deliver something of value to you. What should be the role of the federal government –…

The true cost of hiring just one employee

By Jim Vicevich / August 15, 2010 /

I have talked about this until I am blue in the face. But when I heard financial wizard and former actor, Wayne Rogers, put it all down in numbers, I just had to record and present. Those of you who have never run a business, never created a job, never met a payroll, never sweated…

Well … thanks to Kevin Rennie we have a better idea of what Dodd’s Irish cottage looks like … hmmm … 200,000 … while condos go for three times that … Make sure you go to real time investigations for more on changes that need to be made in Senate disclosure rules. Note that Dodd…

Jim just sent me a text asking to highlight the post I wrote in April looking at federal tax figures from 2008. Click here to read that post, and click here to read the other April post titled Go ahead, tax the rich … let’s run the numbers.

Obama To Hillary … Check The Scoreboard!

By Jim Vicevich / March 10, 2008 / Comments Off on Obama To Hillary … Check The Scoreboard!

More than once now Hillary Clinton has raised the idea of running on the same ticket with Obama clearly as the VP. Obama did not respond and apparently that has hurt him with talk that by not responding he would be willing to take the number two slot. Well today … Obama responded. From Fox News.

GOP bounce: McCain overtakes Obama

By Mel Weaver / September 7, 2008 / Comments Off on GOP bounce: McCain overtakes Obama

Now I’m not a believer in polls. But I look at the numbers like everyone else and this I could NOT believe. If you had asked me 6 months ago if this was possible I would’ve told you you were insane. Unbelievable. Just goes to show what sittin‘ back, layin‘ low and hosting town hall…
