Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

An operative for the Martha Coakley campaign, Democrat for Massachusetts Senate, assaulted a reporter from the Weekly Standard Magazine last night. The Weekly Standard has the dirt. As it happens long-time Democrat media operative Michael Meehan knocked over the reporter and then, after he rose, continued to push the reporter down the street pretending that […]

 

Book Review: What Are These Tea Parties About, Anyway?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A new book about the Tea Party movement — and a movement it really is — will soon be hitting the shelves. “A New American Tea Party” penned by John M. O’Hara, one of the many folks that helped bring us some of those protests in early 2009, is a book that hopes that the […]

 

It’s the People’s Seat

Posted on by Dave Blount

Massachusetts US Senate candidate Scott Brown hands it to liberal establishmentarian David Gergen with the great line: It’s not the Kennedys’ seat and it’s not the Democrats’ seat. It’s the people’s seat. Please, Massachusetts. The whole country is counting on you. Contributions to Brown’s crucial special election campaign can be made here. The nation’s future […]

 

Democrat Strategy: Vastly Expand Vote Fraud

Posted on by Dave Blount

Having arrogantly ignored the will of the American people repeatedly while running up massive deficits, sinking $trillions into cronies’ pockets and pork barrel boondoggles, and now seizing the healthcare industry by the throat in their ham-like fists, Democrats might seem to have no interest in winning future elections. But they have a plan, which can […]

 

Could a Republican Take Ted Kennedy’s Seat?

Posted on by Dave Blount

This gives an idea of just how fed up America is getting with the extremism and abuse of power Democrats have flaunted over the past year. Even in ultra-liberal Taxachusetts, the seat of leftist icon Chappaquiddick Ted Kennedy could be taken by Republican Scott Brown: Attorney General Martha Coakley leads her Republican rival state Sen. […]

 

Liberal Court Uses “Racism” Ploy to Grant Vote to Felons

Posted on by Dave Blount

Liberalism is the ideology of the criminal. While others create, liberals use force to expropriate. For moral cover, they cloak themselves in altruism (which in itself can be a moral illness, as Ayn Rand made a career of explaining). But there is absolutely zero moral difference between breaking into someone’s house and stealing money to […]

 

Right Wing News 2012 Political Poll Results And Analysis

Posted on by John Hawkins

Yesterday, I polled RWN’s readers on the following question: If the 2012 Republican primary were today, which of these candidates would you vote for? The results were a surprise, not because of who came in first, but because of the huge margin and how weak the rest of the field turned out to be in […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A just finished audit has shown that massive fraud and multiple violations of Ohio’s voting law has been uncovered in a recent ballot initiative effort.

President Lou Dobbs? Ha, Ha, Ha…NO!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Sure, Al Franken won…in a center-left state like Minnesota. With a political wind blowing against Norm Coleman that was about as strong as it could get — and even then, if there had been an honest count of the votes, there’s zero chance Franken would have won. Since Lou Dobbs can’t rig a nationwide election […]

 

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses: Why Independents Are Abandoning The Democratic Party

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the great lousy things about politics is that everything, no matter how obvious it may appear, can be twisted, spun, and finagled to serve one side or the other. If you want to see this in action, take a look at an article in the Politico called “Dems alarmed as independents bolt.” You […]

 

Thank You, Doug Hoffman, But Now It’s Time To Go

Posted on by John Hawkins

Doug Hoffman is not a charismatic man. He also lived outside of NY-23 — and his campaign wasn’t very well run. Does that mean it was a mistake for conservatives to support him? No. Had Hoffman gotten elected in a Republican district like that one, he probably could have served in Congress for a long, […]

Posted on by John Hawkins

New Jersey In the New Jersey Governor’s race, it’s a three way fight between incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine, Republican Chris Christie, and Independent Chris Daggett.

Is Rahm’s Luck Running Out?

Posted on by B. Daniel Blatt

Politico has a fascinating story of the lengths to which Democrats went to secure Dede Scozzafava’s endorsement of Democrat Bill Owens in the special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district tomorrow. The effort in involved the White House Chief of Staff, New York State’s senior senator, the Speaker of the New York Assembly, the […]

 

Corzine Tries to Win Ugly* in New Jersey

Posted on by B. Daniel Blatt

In a Democratic state, running against a lackluster Republican opponent and with a war chest filled with twice as much lucre as both his opponents combined, with multiple visits by the charismatic President of the United States, Democrat incumbent Jon Corzine has resorted to playing dirty chests while corrupt organizations try to manufacture a few […]

 

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 […]

 

ACORN Destroying Republican Voter Registration Forms

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Not long ago, Pam Geller told the story of an ACORN office in Florida that had destroyed all the Republican voter registration forms it had gotten during a 2008 voter registration drive.

Darnell Nash: Another ACORN Community Activist Finds Fame

Posted on by Dave Blount

Comrade Obama isn’t the only big success to come out of ACORN. There’s also the self-proclaimed “Queen of Cleveland Gender Benders,” Darnell Nash: The activist group ACORN, which has long worked with criminals as it preys on the weak and the troubled, is on the verge of yet another public relations catastrophe. That’s because a […]

 

ACORN Thugs Throw Out Republican Registrations

Posted on by Dave Blount

ACORN activists are famous for using your tax dollar to register characters like Mickey Mouse. But what would happen if they did something really weird — like register Republicans? As reported by Pam Geller, Black Republican Fathiyyah Muhammad of Jacksonville discovered the answer when she signed up to register voters for ACORN at $3/head. In […]

 

Al Franken, the New Senator From ACORN

Posted on by Dave Blount

Before he became our Community Organizer in Chief, Comrade Obama was known to some as “the Senator From ACORN” due to his extremely close ties to that nefarious organization. The dubious title now belongs to an equally dubious Senator, who took office after resorting to vote fraud more blatant than you will find in most […]

 

Ill. GOP Central Committee Meeting Report

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Note: I realize that this is sort of narrow, but I attended the Illinois GOP Central Committee meeting today and I thought some of you might be somewhat interested to see what is going on in Obama’s home state on the Republican front. The excitement for anything NOT Democrat that was reported at this meeting […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Rep. Mark Kirk (R, IL) has been getting hammered by conservatives and moderate Republicans alike for his “yes” vote on the Cap and Trade bill.

Obama Dissembles Again About His ‘Responsibility’ For Healthcare

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a new 60 Minutes interview, President Obama made a big show about telling correspondent Steve Kroft that he “owns” healthcare if it goes wrong and that because of this he has “every incentive to get this right.” But is this true? Will Obama face any real, personal consequences for any possible failures of Obamacare […]

 

Obama’s Approval Ratings Continue to Sink in NC

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

For my fellow North Carolinians disgusted with the news last fall that North Carolina went to a Democrat nominee for President for the first time since Jimmy Carter – thus now making this once solidly red state now a “battleground state,” here is a welcome bit of news: The latest survey by Public Policy Polling […]
