On the Road to Totalitarianism With the Sixth Circuit

Posted on July 4, 2011July 6, 2011 by Doug Ross

Last week’s decision on the constitutionality of Obamacare, which was handed down by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, is troubling on many fronts. Two of the three judges asserted that Congress has the authority under the Commerce Clause to compel individuals’ behavior by dint of their mere existence. A requirement that citizens purchase a […]

Michelle Bachmann Is Compassionate: Says She’ll Help Obama Find A Job

Posted on July 3, 2011 by William Teach

She’s a nice lady Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is getting more creative, and apparently more aggressive, in her political attacks against President Barack Obama. On Saturday, the Minnesota congresswoman took fresh jabs at the president. In one instance, Bachmann said she hoped to oust him from his current employment, become president herself — and […]

Today’s Bachmann Hit Piece: Her Husband’s Practice Received Medicare Money!

Posted on June 29, 2011 by William Teach

Somehow, this NBC News investigation….we’re still waiting for them to investigate anything regarding 2008 Democrat presidential contender Barack Obama….is supposed to create a big kerfuffle. It’s spread out through many news sources, along with liberal blogs, who are a bit unhinged over it (it would also be nice if the legacy media could spell her […]

Michele Bachmann Dances On Stage, Signs Men’s Chests, And Owns The Crowd In Myrtle Beach (11 pics, 2 videos)

Posted on June 29, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

Broadway at the Beach was a great place for Michele Bachmann to hold a campaign rally. There’s lots of parking, lots of shops, and a gorgeous view. Still, since it is early in the campaign season and Myrtle Beach has a much smaller populace than most think (roughly 27,000), I didn’t expect more than say, […]

Today’s Bachmann Hit Job: Her Legislative Resume Is Thin

Posted on June 28, 2011 by William Teach

Another day, another article taking shots at Michelle Bachmann. These stories are not meant to influence liberals: we already know where they stand, and they would vote for Stalin if he was running on the DNC ticket. No, they are meant to influence middle of the road voters and squishy Republicans. Notice that there are […]

How The Left-Wing Media Creates Memes About GOP Candidates: A Bachmann Based “John Wayne” Case Study

Posted on June 28, 2011June 30, 2011 by John Hawkins

So, Michelle Bachmann is in Waterloo, Iowa and she says this: Rep. Michele Bachmann kicked off her presidential campaign on Monday in Waterloo, Iowa, and in one interview surrounding the official event she promised to mimic the spirit of Waterloo’s own John Wayne. The only problem, as one eagle-eyed reader notes: Waterloo’s John Wayne was […]

Democrat Electoral Strategy: Be the Ones Who Count the Votes

Posted on June 27, 2011 by Dave Blount

Joseph Stalin, one of the Founding Fathers of progressivism, famously said, “The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” His ideological heir George Soros and other limousine Leninists have taken this lesson to heart. A small tax-exempt political group with ties to wealthy liberals like billionaire financier […]

Media And Squishes Favorite Jon Hunstman Won’t Win Because He’s “Not Angry”

Posted on June 26, 2011 by William Teach

The Politico’s Mike Allen and Jim Vandehei start out in the right direction, but, quickly lose their way: Buzzkill: The problem with Jon Huntsman Hype From afar, it’s easy to get swept up by the hype: Jon Huntsman is accomplished, handsome, smart, and his civility message has appeal beyond the meat-eaters who dominate this early […]

Obama Can’t Even Get Economic Messaging Right

Posted on June 24, 2011 by William Teach

Hey, when even Carrie Budoff Brown at The Politico can barely find words to support Mr. Obama, things are seriously in the dumps for Team Hopey Changey: President Obama struggles with economic message President Barack Obama isn’t just grasping for ways to jolt the flailing economy. He’s struggling simply to find the right words to […]

VIDEO: A Time for Choosing

Posted on June 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

“So we have come to a time for choosing,” warned Ronald Reagan in his famous speech nominating Barry Goldwater for President in 1964. It was one of the most important speeches in American history — and remains terrifyingly true today. Millions without jobs. American values under attack. Bailouts, deficits, and debt that threatens the future […]

Jon Huntsman’s Path To Losing Primaries Goes Through Independents

Posted on June 23, 2011June 23, 2011 by William Teach

Why does Jon Huntsman even matter enough for a post, you ask? Well, he is the Liberal Old Media’s preferred GOP frontrunner and general election nominee. Getting past the issue of Huntsman family donations to Harry Reid, the Politico tells us that Huntsman sees independents as key Jon Huntsman sketched out a path to the […]

Obama: Who Needs Victory When We Can Negotiate With The TahleeBahn?

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

President Barack Obama came before the American people tonight to unleash his latest campaign speech disguised as a foreign policy address. It was a presentation that even Politico calls “boring and predictable, balanced to please critics,” and one that “did not change the debate about the war.” But, one thing does seem like news. Obama […]

Set the dial on the Way Back Machine to 1911!” Prob the best descrip of the recent GOP Debatery that CNN King Grunting Guy kept grunting through (yeah – it was kinda gross) “…Mitt Romney sounded not so terribly different from Obama on Afghanistan, with the crucial difference that he wants […]

VIDEO: Herman Cain Raises Voice at Blogger, Holds His Ground

Posted on June 20, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Herman Cain appeared at last weekend’s RightOnLine conference (June 18) to two standing ovations. His rousing campaign speech apparently hit all the right notes with the conservative audience in attendance. But afterward, in the blogger access room, there were a few sour notes, in one case Cain even angrily yelled at a blogger over a […]

Democrats Flailing Around For A Jobs Policy Heading Into 2012

Posted on June 20, 2011 by William Teach

Wait, wasn’t that what the political payback legislation, known as “Stimulus”, was supposed to do? Create jobs? And all the follow-up legislation? The “green jobs” initiatives? Even ObamaCare was billed as a jobs creator. None of which worked, and, it seems, made things worse, so Democrats eye new jobs agenda Senate Democrats are beginning to […]

Apparently, The GOP Is “Rigging The 2012 Election”

Posted on June 20, 2011June 22, 2011 by William Teach

In Liberal World, requiring people to actually show proof that they are themselves is mean and bad and evil and rigging the 2012 election, according to the Washington Post’s E.J.

What Economic Turnaround?

Posted on June 17, 2011June 15, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Obama and his cohorts want to sell the American people a bill of goods. DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz is telling the country that Democrats “own” the “recovery.” Only one problem. There ain’t one. Don’t buy the lies, folks. Don’t do it.

Herman Cain: Obama’s NLRB ‘A Direct Assault on the Free Market System’

Posted on June 16, 2011June 15, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Presidential candidate Herman Cain (R) recently spoke with FOX Business Network’s (FBN) Neil Cavuto about the dispute between the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Boeing and its impact on the United States economy.

NY Times Editorial Board Hated The GOP Debate

Posted on June 15, 2011 by William Teach

Hence, the Republicans on display must have actually done a good job! (Fish Wrap) Monday’s Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire – full of historical error, economic obfuscation, avoidance of hard truths and even outright bigotry – was a feast for connoisseurs of political dysfunction. Desperate to avoid being outflanked on the right, the seven […]

Cal. Union Launches Effort to Recruit Republican Candidates

Posted on June 14, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

This is a novel approach. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), one of the largest government employee unions in the nation, has decided that they’ve had enough of all those darn Republicans that are… well… acting like Republicans. So, the union has lighted on a new way to be rid of all those darn Republican-like […]

Thoughts on the CNN Republican Debate

Posted on June 14, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Well the CNN debate of some of the GOP candidates for president is now in the history books and I thought I’d give my impression of those vying there. Before I do that, I have to comment on John King’s constant guttural vocal tick. It sounded like he had Tourette Syndrome with the grunts and […]

Why, Yes, Michelle Bachmann Is Running, And She Hit A Homer During Debate

Posted on June 14, 2011 by William Teach

Because we need to have at least one candidate who represents the TEA Party and conservatives. Well, we have one already in Herman Cain, but, he won’t drive liberals crazy like Michelle Bachmann, who pretty much announced during the New Hampshire debates Excellent! If Sarah Palin isn’t going to jump in, who better than Bachmann? […]

Mitt Romney Is The Frontrunner In The Same Way That Donald Trump Was The Front Runner

Posted on June 14, 2011June 18, 2011 by John Hawkins

It seems to be an item of faith that Mitt Romney is the nearly unstoppable frontrunner and all the other candidates in the GOP’s 2012 field are desperately trying to catch up. But in truth, while Mitt could technically be called the frontrunner, he’s not “the man to beat” in any meaningful sense. Sure, Mitt […]

Redistricting in California, Illinois and Others May Lose House GOP Majority

Posted on June 12, 2011June 12, 2011 by Jane Jamison

Cross-posted at UNCOVERAGE.net At long last, the “Citizens” Redistricting commission in California has come up with its proposed new voting maps.: It’s not good news for Republicans in the very blue state and the same tactics are being used nationwide.: Re-districting is the “stealth” way Democrats will try to win back the House of Representatives […]

No Apologies From Mitt Romney For Globull Warming Stance

Posted on June 9, 2011 by William Teach

Mitt Romney is, in my estimation, a great candidate, and perhaps the best one to defeat Obama in the 2012 general election. While he certainly has several squishy Conservative positions, he also has excellent experience as both a business executive and as a political executive. He will appeal easily to the moderate and middle ground […]

Michele Bachmann Should Fire Ed Rollins For His Comments About Sarah Palin

Posted on June 9, 2011June 12, 2011 by John Hawkins

I’m a Michele Bachmann fan and, yes, she is one of the people I would seriously back for President. I also like and respect Ed Rollins, even if I don’t always agree with him and am forced to note that his track record has been awfully spotty over the last 15 years. That brings us […]

Hollywood ‘Comedian’ Calls for Assassination of Sarah Palin

Posted on June 8, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Jeff Poor at the Daily Caller has a disturbing story this week. It’s all about a so-called Hollywood comedian telling a talk show audience that he would assassinate Sarah Palin were she to become President of the United States. He wasn’t being “funny” either, was he? After all, those Hollywierders that blamed the right for […]

New ‘Reality’ TV Show To Focus On Race for 2012 Election

Posted on June 6, 2011December 30, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

An interesting ad has recently appeared at the New York Craig’s List website which shows exactly how the left will be framing the upcoming 2012 presidential election. The ad asks for a family that represents “racial minorities” to be pitted against a family of “white conservatives.” It’s pretty clear they intend to make this whole […]
