Is Rick Santorum Really the Most Conservative Presidential Candidate?

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

The anyone-but-Romney conservatives have currently latched onto Rick Santorum as their candidate du jour, providing him with a surge shortly into the Republican primary elections.

Proposed New York Redistricting Map Could Mean Bad News for Conservatives

Posted on by Lonely Conservative

Today it was leaked that proposed redistricting maps for New York could redraw the 25th congressional district, which is represented by Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle, to include the city of Ithaca. If true, this is terrible news for Republicans and conservatives – especially since the Club for Growth recently: gave Buerkle a 92% fiscal conservative rating, […]

“progressive” Reporting on Scott Walker’s Recall Election

Posted on by Michael Fell

There’s so much empty, hateful “progressive” rhetoric in this “article” written by David Chalian it’s truly painful. Scott Walker, Wisconsin governor, braces for recall election, proclaims controversial law is working http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/scott-walker-wisconsin-governor-braces-recall-election-proclaims-120437772.html First Chalian begins his “article” with an openly biased headline (since once must not miss opportunities to repeat the “progressive”–the law is “controversial”–narrative) that […]

Stupid Internet Meme of the Week: Santorum’s ‘Rough’ Handshake With Ron Paul Outrage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Buzzfeed was the first to indulge it’s inner gossip — well, maybe its outer gossip since that is all that site is; gossip. Anyway, the stupid story of the day is based on the hearty handshake that Rick Santorum gave Ron Paul after Wednesday’s debates. Paul’s fans took offense at the handshake for some idiotic […]

Remember The Meme About Santorum Being “Anti-Women”?

Posted on by William Teach

The Politico and the Democrats, but, I repeat myself, thought that the contraception mandate issue was the perfect issue for Democrats, as they could paint Republicans, and Santorum, as “anti-women” (despite marrying one and having three daughters). How’s that working out? (Washington Post) Over the past several weeks, Republicans have watched squeamishly as presidential contender […]

Analysis Of The Arizona Debate

Posted on by John Hawkins

Unsurprisingly, this wasn’t a great debate. John King was back as the moderator and he followed the standard pattern of getting the candidates to fight followed by a lot of questions that were designed to keep the heat off of Barack Obama. This debate was especially tedious because they went back to contraception and spent […]

Satan Vs. Santorum

Posted on by John Hawkins

I’ve never been the biggest Rick Santorum fan. He’s a little too comfortable with big government and although he can come across like a philosopher/religious historian when he’s on top of his game, he’s not exactly teeming with charisma and he often comes across as preachy. Politicians can talk about social issues and honestly, voters […]

 

Another Huge Mitt Romney “Strength” That’s Actually A Flaw

Posted on by John Hawkins

Mitt Romney’s flaws are no big secret; Not a conservative, unlikable, incessant flip-flopping, tailor made villain for the Occupy Wall Street crowd, antithesis of a Tea Party candidate, beloved by the establishment, etc., etc., etc. The funny thing about Romney is that his supposed “strengths” are turning out to be weaknesses, too. Despite his main […]

Will Women Vote For Rick Santorum?

That’s the question The Politico is asking Democrats have an unexpected new foil in their effort to label the GOP as hostile to women: Rick Santorum.
