Conservatives Are Doing A Lousy Job Of Explaining Fiscal Issues To The Public.

Posted on by John Hawkins

The momentum that the GOP had in 2010 is starting to drain away. Some of that was inevitable. After all, the wind at our back in 2010 was just about as strong as it could possibly get.

Infant Tyro: Obama’s One-Upmanship of GOP Debates Clearly a Power Play

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston President Obama wants to give us his jobs plan. Yeah, three years after he got elected saying he was all about jobs. It isn’t the speech that is important, here, though — he won’t say anything new or important in it. It is the fact that he’s trying to bury the […]

Democrat Andre Carson Says TEA Party Wants Blacks “Hanging On A Tree”

Posted on by William Teach

It’s really amazing how much Democrats, especially elected Democrats, demonize and denigrate the TEA Party and the people who hold the basic ideals….limited government, limited spending, and limited taxation….despite having told us that it is a minor movement with no traction that will make no difference and doesn’t represent most Americans.
