As many regular readers of RWN already know, in 2006 I organized a group of conservative bloggers to raise money for the GOP. Well, this year we’ve got another group of bloggers together. Ace of Spades HQ, Atlas Shrugs, Conservatives With Attitude, Gateway Pundit, Moonbattery, PoliPundit, Power Line, Redstate, Right Wing News, & Wizbang! have […]

Since the bailout plan has failed and the market has pulled a yo-yo act, I thought it would be a good time to ask this poll question again to see if people’s views have changed on remained the same. Do you support the bailout? Yes No    Free polls from Pollhost.com

This is a really good video and very professionally done.

Over at the HuffPo, some wacko named Larisa Alexandrovna is actually claiming that Bush created the bailout crisis as part of a coup and that we may need to stage a revolution to stop him. It’s the most novel (if by novel, you mean crazy) take on the bailout yet, In 2000, the long fought […]

“Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and […]

This is from the 9/16/2008 debate on healthcare at Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. Paul Krugman decides to show everyone how great socialized medicine is by asking the Canadians in the room about it and the result is hilarious — well, if you’re conservative.

Right Wing News emailed more than 240 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to answer 4 questions about the bailout. The following 62 blogs responded: The Absurd Report, Atlas Shrugs, The Baseball Crank, Basil’s Blog, BizzyBlog, Dispatches from Blogblivion, Bookworm Room, Cao’s Blog, Cassy Fiano, Conservative Grapevine, Conservative Punk, Conservatism Today, Copious Dissent, DANEgerus Weblog, Argghhhh!, […]

This hasn’t really been an election about issues. John McCain has run on experience, “country first,” being a POW, and being a maverick. Barack Obama has run on being a Democrat, being black, being able to read speeches off of a teleprompter, and “change.” Earlier on the campaign, both candidates focused heavily on the war […]

From Thaddeus McCotter, the current Chairman of the Republican House Policy Committee and the man I’d like to see leading the Republican Party in the House after the 2008 elections. “Thank you. I rise today not to change anyone’s mind but to express to my constituents my reasons for opposing this bill. There will always […]

As you’re probably seeing everywhere, the 700 billion dollar crap sandwich that’s being served to taxpayers has been defeated by a small margin on the floor. Here’s the vote count according to Hot Air, The final tally was 207-226, with Democrats supporting it 141-94, while Republicans opposed it 66-132. What we have here are large […]

I’m totally planning to go see this on Saturday. The promos for it have been hilarious. Hat tip to Hot Air for the video.

Believe it or not, someone actually wrote the words you are about to read to a useless, 5th rate Ann Landers over at Salon, named Cary Tennis, And then came Sarah. My reaction to her, and the way the Republican Party threw her in our faces, and the pandering and hypocrisy that was behind their […]

Last week, I interviewed David Freddoso about his new book, The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our phone conversation. Enjoy! …You did an appearance in Chicago and bizarrely, Barack Obama had his supporters call in to jam […]

“Our nation faces an economic challenge today equal to any challenge we have previously faced and now requires our full attention. The following snapshot of our economy should impress upon everyone the seriousness of the job ahead. The national debt currently stands at over $9.58 trillion, the largest in World history. This year’s deficit, in […]

Dick Morris can be a little hit or miss with his political advice, but his latest words of wisdom for the Republicans in Congress in general and John McCain in particular should be heeded, During Friday’s debate, John McCain assiduously and inexplicably avoided using the issue that might have won him the debate and the […]

I watched the debate and I thought… McCain won Obama won    Free polls from Pollhost.com

First off, Jim Lehrer did an absolutely magnificent job as a debate moderator. He was fair, he asked good questions, and he pressed both guys when they didn’t answer questions. Loved him! The debate started off on the bailout and the economy and I gotta say: McCain was just AWFUL for the 15 minutes or […]

The White House, in a failed attempt to save George Bush’s legacy, is pushing a cataclysmically bad, socialistic bailout plan. This plan is unpopular on the left and the right, it’s getting more unpopular by the day, and by election day, the fallout from it will be nuclear. The House Republicans, on the other hand, […]

I got together this afternoon for a short interview with Jim DeMint, the man who could fairly be called the conservative leader of the Senate, to hear what he has to say about the bailout. What follows is the slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Did Congress help create this problem and if so, how? […]

Heather Mac Donald, who is an excellent columnist, has a column out called “Anti-Elitism Goes Too Far.” Here’s an excerpt, Now a natural woman has burst onto the political stage, eliciting the same tropes of authenticity–shootin’, skinnin’, ridin’ (in this case, a snowmobile), and, for the first time, jumpin’. And, as the tradition requires, the […]

“Dear Editor San Francisco judges forbidding our Pledge of Allegiance? They will take the phrase ‘under God’ away from me when my cold, dead lips can no longer utter those words. God Bless America” — Sarah Palin, letter to the editor, 2002

If you closely follow politics, one thing you’ll learn is that liberals often go to great lengths to try to hide what they really believe from the public while conservatives inevitably seem to be trying to correct some misperception that has been spread about them. So, as a creature of the Right and as someone […]

I was talking to one of my sources yesterday and told him that the reaction to the bailout deal reminded me of the very early stages of the immigration debacle, before people became completely infuriated — except, this time the anger is on the Right AND the Left. Every single day since this lousy deal […]

Yesterday afternoon, I put up a poll that asked, “Do you support the 700 billion dollar bailout?” The response was 85% “No” and 15% “Yes.” For once, I think we’ve found something that the Left and Right agree on because via Redstate, we learn that the Kos of Daily Kos fame is actually invoking the […]

This video from Fox shows how the Republicans have been warning about this problem for years while the Democrats have been blocking them. It is must see TV, my friend, and you DEFINITELY will want to watch it. The Barney Frank quote is absolutely priceless. Hat tip to Ace of Spades HQ for the video. […]

When I wrote this post initially, it was based on two premises that may not turn out to be correct: that the bailout plan is going to pass and that John McCain would support it. Despite the headlines that are out there, it’s not a sure thing on either count yet. So, with that in […]

On the Left, there is no such thing as a “fringe” anymore. I don’t care what sort of wacko left-wing idea you can come up with, there’s a Democrat in power somewhere advocating it. Heck, even their presidential candidate has pal’d around with terrorists like Bill Ayers and virulently anti-white, anti-American scumbags like Jeremiah Wright. […]

John McCain canceled the Friday night debate to head back to D.C. and work on the bailout. He then invited Obama to join him. The idea behind that was probably something along the lines of: #1) It would make McCain look like a leader who puts country first over politics. #2) Obama was put in […]

So, does anybody think this is a healthy development or is good for the country? Nearly three quarters of the 727,070 El Pasoans last year said buenas noches when they went to sleep and buenos días when they woke up, according to new information released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. The census’ American Community […]
