On the Road to Totalitarianism With the Sixth Circuit

Posted on 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 […]

Posted on 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.

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

Posted on 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 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 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 […]

Posted on by John Hawkins

So, Michelle Bachmann is in Waterloo, Iowa and she says this: Rep.

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 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 […]

Posted on 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 […]

VIDEO: A Time for Choosing

Posted on 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 by William Teach

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

Posted on 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 […]

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 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 […]

NY Times Editorial Board Hated The GOP Debate

Posted on 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

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.

Thoughts on the CNN Republican Debate

Posted on 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

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 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 […]

No Apologies From Mitt Romney For Globull Warming Stance

Posted on 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 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

Jeff Poor at the Daily Caller has a disturbing story this week.

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

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.
