Why Planned Parenthood should be defunded

By quinersdiner | October 30, 2012

Planned Parenthood’s “abortion prevention” claim is a sham. Here in Iowa, Planned Parenthood has expanded abortion locations from seven to 16 in the past four years and now aborts an average of 13 Iowans a day …

Dramatic early vote poll results

By quinersdiner | October 30, 2012

By Tom Quiner Conventional political wisdom states that Democrats get out the early vote much better than Republicans. If that’s the case, Obama is in trouble. The Gallup Poll conducted a very large survey using a sample size of  3312 registered voters. Keep in mind, a lot of surveys you read about have sample sizes closer to a thousand. So this survey is going to have a smaller margin of…

The political danger to America

By quinersdiner | October 29, 2012

“John Boehner is nothing but a country club Republican.” This sentiment was expressed by Barack Obama in regard to the Speaker of the House. It encapsulates the risk we face should Mr. Obama win re-election. We will find ourselves mired in more political polarization while America rots.

“He was black when I voted for him”

By quinersdiner | October 28, 2012

“He failed as president because he is incompetent, dishonest and not interested in the actual work of governing. His statist policies helped consign millions of Americans to a lower standard of living and his odious class warfare further divided the nation. He had no intention of uniting the country — it was his Big Lie.”

How to handle people who steal your Romney yard sign

By quinersdiner | October 28, 2012

By Tom Quiner Everyone’s buzzing at church at the Des Moines Register’s endorsement of Mitt Romney. One of my conservative friends told me his Romney sign was taken and replaced with a sign for a liberal candidate for the Iowa House. I got home and found my Romney sign gone, too. My neighbor across the street had all his Republican signs taken, too. He is contemplating putting up a new…

BREAKING NEWS! The Des Moines Register endorses Mitt Romney!

By quinersdiner | October 27, 2012

By Tom Quiner Iowa offers a paltry 6 electoral votes this election. Iowa is a swing state. But our six votes are so critical that we’ve seen each campaign make repeated trips to Iowa. That’s why tonight’s dramatic announcement that the Des Moines Register is endorsing Mitt Romney is so important. The Register’s editorials are liberal. They support abortion on demand. They support Obamacare. They support gay marriage. But they…

The devastating failure of trickle-down-government

By quinersdiner | October 27, 2012

The administration is touting 13 consecutive quarters of GDP growth as proof that the economy is on a roll. In politics, you spin what you’ve got. And if you don’t have anything to spin, you make it up. Here’s the sad story. Team Obama promised us that economic growth would be at 4.3% at this point of the economic after passing its budget-busting stimulus bill in 2009.

Don’t voters deserve legitimate journalism BEFORE the election?

The moral descent of Barack Obama

By quinersdiner | October 26, 2012

“The truth will set you free” proclaimed St. John. Barack Obama’s rhetoric these days seems more influenced by Pontius Pilate’s famous query, “what IS the truth?” To Barack Obama, truth is fluid. It is a tool to be manipulated to achieve power, to retain power, and to advance an agenda at odds with the Truth …
