Rick Santorum, who is campaigning in Colorado today, has also picked up some key Colorado endorsements. The most notable being that of former Colorado Congressman, Tom Tancredo.

Other endorsements came from:

• Former Lt. Gov Jane Norton
• Former Congressman/current Chairman of the state Board of Education Bob Schaffer
• Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway
• State Senator Kent Lambert
• State Senator Scott Renfroe.

The Colorado caucus is held on February 7th. Santorum won the Iowa caucus, which is the only other Republican caucus that has been held so far.

I knew it, you knew it. We’ve all felt it in our wallets. It has been a slight sting to some, a powerful blow to others. Life in America IS more expensive with President Obama steering the economic ship. No doubt, it will continue to become more expensive.

So far, during the presidency of Barack Obama, the price of a gallon of gasoline has jumped 83 percent, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

During the same period, the price of ground beef has gone up 24 percent and price of bacon has gone up 22 percent.

When Obama entered the White House in January 2009, the city average price for one gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $1.79, according to the BLS. (The figures are in nominal dollars: not adjusted for inflation.) Five months later in June, unleaded gasoline was $2.26 per gallon, an increase of 26 percent. By December 2011, the price of regular unleaded gas per gallon was $3.28, an 83 percent increase from January 2009.

The shirking of duty. That is the legacy of the Harry Reid lead Senate. In that time the Senate has passed the so called, Obamacare legislation, bailouts and stimulus.

Yet no budget.

President Obama will deliver his State of the Union speech this evening. Will he pressure the Democrat lead Senate to pass a budget?

“Free speech for the dumb”, it’s something I say when I hear someone (OWS) spout, what I find to be a stupid political view. John Stossel and guest Bryan Caplan, economist from George Mason University, address the question… should stupid people vote.

They make, what I find to be, a decent argument. Still, the idea of denying a person the vote based upon their knowledge of the issues, is a bit uncomfortable.

Further, who then would determine the level of understanding one must have, in order to cast a vote?

At any rate, the video is worth viewing, in my opinion.

Ron Paul, rightly, defended Mitt Romney today in New Hampshire. Ron Paul claimed those who have attacked Romney are either demogoging or do not understand the how the free market works. On this, Ron Paul is correct.

These attacks based on Romney and Bain Capital are either made dishonestly or out of ignorance.

“I think they’re wrong. I think they’re totally misunderstanding the way the market works,” Paul told me. “They are either just demogoging or they don’t have the vaguest idea how the market works.”

Paul also came to Romney’s defense for saying “I like to be able to fire people.”
