		<description><![CDATA[Just a brief post to see if we can stir up any comments. I&#8217;ve been struck by how much of the Republican primary has centered around Mitt Romney&#8217;s tax bill (as Mike pointed out).  It is interesting to note &#8220;conservatives&#8221; turning on one another regarding someone&#8217;s taxes being too low, which goes against the de [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=criticismasinspiration.com&amp;blog=5399005&amp;post=2620&amp;subd=criticismas&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Republican Primary is just fascinating. Mitt Romney fades in South Carolina because of concerns that he may be too rich and not paying enough taxes. On the other hand, Newt Gingrich surges because of new revelations about his infidelity. Wow. Can somebody explain the Republican platform to me? I&#8217;m just really confused right now.

		<description><![CDATA[I would imagine that conservatives should be very happy about the increase in unemployment announced last week. For one, they can blame the Obama administration for it, and two, because the increase is the result of a half a million reduction in public sector jobs, and they want that, too.

Right now, Republicans are attempting to dismantle the Affordable Care Act with legal action claiming that it&#8217;s unconstitutional for the government to require people to purchase health care.
