Romney (or anyone else) could be "far to the right of McCain". He could also be "far to the left of McCain" -- since McCain has been everywhere, a self-labelled "maverick" whose positions were unpredictable. One could not be to the right of him on border defense -- during the campaign in Arizona. But one would find plenty of room to his right on his offering amnesty bills for illegals. Even on this single issue, comparisons with him simply aren't helpful (even though they're sort of fun).

Amen, William. Not just "saddest" but most dangerous. We're now seeing Obama's power plays pre-election (attack on Gibson Guitar, promoting "occupy Wall Street 'protests'", encouraging unions to prepare to "put down" opponents a la 1932 Germany's SA and SS). Our very freedom to exist outside a concentration camp is at issue, should he lose the election. He intends to make that clear. Will the nation have the courage to call him out?

Hermain Cain would eliminate the capital gains tax and ALL existing taxes in exchange for three flat taxes, spreading the "fairness" to all, "rich" and "poor". I'm liking Cain more and more (though I'll support Romney if he's the nominee).

Good for you, John Boehner! But I'm not sure there can be "common ground" with the dedicated Marxists running the government. If you mix poisoned water with pure water, would you drink some of the mixture? No, Speaker Boehner, the goal is NOT to find "common ground" but TO HOLD YOUR GROUND. The only truly effective "jobs bill" is not a bill at all: It is to REPEAL ALL THOSE BILLS STIFLING CAPITALISM. Be brave! Read Ayn Rand again. Read Michelle Malkin today. And HOLD YOUR GROUND!

It's been over 50 years since I first read Ayn Rand's Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. I'm reading them again as she wrote them -- and again as Michelle Malkin writes them today. Ms. Malkin's column today is as timeless as the philosophy she and Ayn Rand express. Thank you, Michelle Malkin!

Where's the proof of all those college degrees and professorial credentials?
