What Karl Rove Says About Me

It was brought to my attention that Karl Rove offered some criticism of me on this site.: :  What he said was rather harmless — though inaccurate.:  If you’ll forgive the shameless plug, the real story is in my book, SPEECH*LESS:: Tales of a White House Survivor.:  : I also offered some comments here: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-03-09/the-rove-you-dont-know/ The only thing […]

 

My advice for Sarah Palin if she wants to win the nomination

Governor Palin currently leads most polls as the top choice of conservatives for the GOP nomination. Though the media and even fellow conservatives are counting her out, stranger things have happened. I mean, who for example believed Barack Obama could win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing?: :  I hope Hillary Clinton is working on […]

 


Obama, the anti-Churchill

Today the New York Post noted that President Obama did not use the word “win” or “victory” in his rather dull Afghanistan speech. http://www.nypost.com I also didn’t like the fact that he used the troops as props.: Then, of course, when they didn’t applaud enough people like Chris Matthews called West Point “the enemy camp” (as […]

 

The Right and Wrong Lessons from Tuesday’s elections.

Some Right and Wrong Lessons from last night — any others? Right Lesson: The voters turned away from the Obama administration and its handling of the economy. Wrong Lesson: The candidates won because they “soft pedaled” their conservatism, as National Review and others in the MSM: alleged. Right Lesson: DeDe Scozzafava was a disastrous candidate for […]

 

Could the GOP be 3-0 today?

Well, not quite. Let’s remember that even if Doug Hoffman wins the NY-23 race it will be DESPITE the Republican Party, not because of them. The GOP elites: really should be apologizing to conservatives who forced them to do the right thing. And how about getting DeDe Scozzafava, who endorsed the Democrat in the race after […]

 

Should Scozzafava be the beginning of something bigger?

In Human Events today, I talk about the effort by conservatives to back Doug Hoffman over the liberal backed by the GOP establishment. And I wonder if this isn’t the beginning of something more important — a fight not only within the GOP but AGAINST the GOP and its current leadership. There is precedent for […]

 

See ya, DeDe Scozzafava – Next Stop Florida?

With Scozzafava’s “suspension” of her candidacy, GOP elites in Washington may have dodged a bullet. But we can’t forget that they are the ones who put conservatives into this position in the first place.:  The MSM wants to blame “angry” right wingers for the fight.:  In fact, it was just the opposite. :  What happened […]

 

The Wrong Lesson from the Bob McDonnell campaign: Don’t be a Conservative

In case conservatives have missed it, our betters running the Republican Party think they’ve figured out the way to a Republican resurgence. They want to hide conservatives in an attic somewhere (surprise, surprise). Even National Review (!) has gotten into this act, advising Republicans that the way to win is to learn from Virginia’s Bob […]
