Live Tweets of the August Fox GOP Debate

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I usually live Tweet many events like this at my Twitter account: http://twitter.com/#!/warnerthuston. The Fox GOP debate is no exception. As to the debate, who won and who lost?

Unions Lose BIG In Wisconsin Recall Efforts

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Oh, the union thugs in Wisconsin will certainly try to act as if winning a mere two of the six recall elections of the Republican State Senators in the Cheese State was a big win… but it wasn’t. In fact, this recall nonsense shows that the union issues were a huge failure. After all, they […]

 

Want Proof of How Democrats Would Shut You Up, Tea Partiers?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On MSNBC, John Kerry told us that Tea Party ideas are not “real” ideas, not “factual,” and thinks that the media should stop reporting on anything that smacks of ideas or news coming from Tea Partiers.
