ACORN’s Defenders Not Remaining Silent

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As we at SayNoToACORN.com are fighting to help inform you about what you can do to impress upon our local and federal officials to distance themselves from ACORN, the other side — those that support the actions of ACORN — are also organizing. This fact proves that we cannot just sit idly by and hope […]

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

Posted on by Matt Latimer

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 […]

 

Republican Defeat in NY-23 Could Lead to GOP Victories in 2010

Posted on by B. Daniel Blatt

With word that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has endorsed conservative Doug Hoffman to fill the House seat vacated by Army Secretary John McHugh, there is a real chance the once and future Republican could score an upset, defeating GOP nominee Dede Scozzafava and Democrat Bill Owens. The safe bet though would be for an […]

 

New York’s Dede Scozzafava MUST Withdraw

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In July liberal Republican DeDe Scozzafava was tapped by the 11 Republican county chairmen of New York’s 23rd Congressional District to run for the seat being vacated by John McHugh, who resigned to take Obama’s offer to become Secretary of the Army.

Meg Whitman’s Extreme Pro-Abortion Views

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few weeks ago Jon Fleischman of FlashReport.org was fortunate enough to snag an interview with gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman. But the results of one segment of the meeting left him admittedly non-plussed, or as he termed it “unnerved.” Fleischman was aghast to learn of just how extreme Meg Whitman’s views on abortion really are.

CA Elections: Whitman’s Spotty Voting Record: Not Exactly as it Seemed?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Much has been made about Meg Whitman’s spotty voting record by many, including me. When the Sacramento Bee’s Andrew McIntosh first reported that records for Whitman’s voter registration going back a decade or so were nearly non-existent it seemed that the anti-Whitman camp(s) out there had quite an issue to hang their hats upon. It […]

 

Meg Whitman: A Big Lib Supporter?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston Meg Whitman has had some bad days lately. After recently proclaiming herself a “darned good” conservative Republican, Senator Barbara Boxer’s staff revealed that Whitman was a Boxer supporter in 2003.

Lefty Outrage at ‘Conservative’ Article Misses Key Fact, Writer Isn’t Conservative

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is in an uproar today.

Not completely without reason, many lefty blogs have lost their […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What’s the Difference Between a Conservative and a Liberal?

People often wonder what is the difference between a conservative and a liberal. The simple fact of the matter is that the major difference is that conservatives wonder first what it is they are responsible for while liberals wonder first what everyone else should be doing for them.

2009 Cook County GOP Convention

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What are we going to do to clean up Obama’s corrupt Chicago Democrats? The Cook County GOP has some ideas… I just got back from attending the Saturday session of the Cook County Republican Party Convention (and before you ask, yes, there IS a Cook County Republican Party). It appeared that about 1,000 participants had […]

Paranoid Racist Whack Jobs.

Brit Hasn’t a Clue About U.S. Politics

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many elitist American leftists like to go about claiming that it is only Americans that are dunces on foreign matters. There is some truth to the accusation that Americans are not knowledgeable about the rest of the world but if a column in the UK Telegraph is any indication it isn’t much better for Britain’s […]
