Unions Struggling to Get Members to Rally Behind Dems

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When voters are not enthused even unions find it harder to get their supporters to rally to an election and this is one of the worst years for Democrats on record. Unions are finding their efforts hard slogging just like the rest of the Democrat Party is. It’s so bad even The New York Times […]

 

Alaska Senator Launches Ill Advised write-in Campaign

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Talk about sore losers. We are starting to see the GOP country club set getting petulant, aren’t we? First was pouter Mike Castle who lost his incumbency to Tea Party insurgent Christine O’Donnell in Delaware. Castle is refusing to back the voter’s choice and he’s gone off whining about the tough campaign that O’Donnell waged. […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

First time Representative Democrat Debbie Halvorson of Illinois’ 11th District is struggling in the polls against Republican Adam Kinzinger.

Kinzinger is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force […]

 

Elite Favors: Congressmen Payoff Staffer’s College Loans

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

They call it a “recruitment tool,” but it is little else but yet another way for Congressional elites to give each other favors on the taxpayer’s dime. As Americans are increasingly losing jobs, even their homes, congressmen are using taxpayer’s dollars to pay off the student loans of their staffers. Worse, this has been going […]

 

Politico Cries Over Lost Jobs of Hill Staffers in November

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

“I think people underestimate how disastrous this could be,” says a Democrat Congressional staffer who worries over losing his job once all the new Republicans sweep into Congress after the November elections.

Even Dems Sour on ObamaCare Disaster

Posted on by Dave Blount

A few months ago, Democrats were shrieking that the sky would fall if they didn’t seize control of the healthcare industry immediately. But the upcoming election, combined with the public’s fervent rejection of ObamaCare, has changed their tune: Since the beginning of Congress’s August recess, Democratic candidates have poured $930,000 into ads deriding the health […]

 

Video: $20 Mil Wasted on Obama Propaganda Signs

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

All hail the Obammessiah, the savior of our jobs… well, at least $20 million went to a few sign makers so that Obama could pretend that he saved folk’s jobs, anyway. You can help shine a light on this wasteful federal spending by taking a photo of an Obama propaganda sign on the side of […]

 

Harry Reid, Quintessential Dem

Posted on by Dave Blount

With the American public having forcefully rejected every aspect of their agenda, even the most arrogant of our liberal rulers are forced to govern by stealth: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday he will add the DREAM Act, a controversial immigration measure, to a defense policy bill the Senate will take up next week.

When You Don’t Vote Well, Liberals Assume You’ve Lost Your Minds

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ben Smith of Politico noticed that two “influential writers broadly in sympathy with Obama” recently floated the notion that as the nation turns rightward and isn’t voting with the extreme left, why we’ve all become “irrational.” In the New Yorker, George Packer wrote that we’ve become a mob of unreason. “Nine years later,” he writes, […]

 

The Veracity of Karl Rove’s Political Analysis is Suddenly Suspect

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

During Delaware’s primary night Karl Rove was one of the analysts that sat with Sean Hannity on Fox News hashing out the results of the polls in several states.

(I am finally back home where I can get to my photo editing software, so this report is a few hours late, but…) Over 50,000 patriotic Americans attended the 2010 edition of Freedom Works’s 9/12 March on the Capitol.

SEIUs Anna Burger to Retire

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times gave a glowing review of Ana Burger’s career as a most divisive member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). But how could one be less arrogant and pushy than would seem natural for a union that set out to fashion itself an “international” union? Burger, 59, was supposed to be […]

 

When Did Calbuzz Become Jerry Brown’s Personal Communications Shop?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The widely read California website Calbuzz bills itself as a site offering political news, analysis, commentary, “and more about California and beyond.” During this election cycle, though, the “and more” seems to indicate that Calbuzz is operating as the publicity shop for Democrat Jerry Brown’s campaign for Governor because so far they’ve spent little time […]

 

Obama’s Eyes Are on 2012 Prize

Posted on by Dave Blount

Evidence accrues that Comrade Obama continues to defy the public he supposedly represents by imposing overwhelmingly unpopular policies because he doesn’t care if his party loses Congress this fall. The lefties at Time, who helped hype him into office, discuss the ostensible decline of Obama’s Organizing for America machine: What happened to Barack Obama’s once […]

…race in Delaware. Now, I wasn’t planning to write a third post about this issue, but this gets into one of my pet peeves: Ultimately, You don’t change the country for the better by losing elections. Being conservative is not enough. To put conservative principles into action, we have to get people elected to office. […]

 

What Liberals Say vs What they Mean

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many of us have been raised to think that words mean things. Then there’s Democrats. From those infamous phrases like “It depends on what the definition of what ‘is’ is” of yore to the newfangled “man-caused disasters” of today, Democrats have so abused the English language as to make it completely unrecognizable to Mr. Johnson.

Mike Castle Vs. Christine O’Donnell: How I Decide Which Candidate To Support In A Primary

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Mike Castle vs. Christine O’Donnell primary is getting people all tied up in knots. You see, Delaware is a tiny, liberal state.

A Glenn Beck Rally and Our Current Culture of Bias
