Posted on by Robert Cleveland

It seems that Republicans’ plans to stick to the issue of Obamacare right up to the midterm elections are falling through, as Congressional leadership – including and especially Speaker John Boehner – have renewed their push for “comprehensive” immigration reform.:  This is a losing issue for Republicans, so it begs the question of why the […]

NY Times: NC Shows Strains Within GOP Or Something

Posted on by William Teach

Obviously, it would be too much to ask for the NY Times to have an article on either their web front page and/or dead tree edition about the situation in Nevada between the BLM, Cliven Bundy, and all the supporters. No, what’s really important is to manufacture some type of civil war going on in […]

NY Times Still Very Concerned Over Christie “Lane Closures”

Posted on by William Teach

There’s nothing like beating a dead horse. Obviously, the Times cares a bit because a) this happened in the NY Times local area, and b) it’s a chance to smear Christie, a possible GOP 2016 candidate, and c) a chance to smear a Republican governor. The last two are Important for other media (read Leftist) […]

Charlie Crist Praises ObamaCare

Posted on by Dave Blount

Ted Cruz calls himself the anti-Crist. The reference is to the ultimate turncoat RINO, Charlie Crist, a liberal Republican who went independent in a failed effort to slither his way past Tea Party upstart Marco Rubio into the US Senate.

John McCain is up for reelection in 2016 and one way or the other, it looks like the king of all RINOS may be retiring. It can’t come soon enough for me.

I endorse J.D. Winteregg over John Boehner in #OH8

Posted on by Doug Ross

I had a chance to speak with John Boehner’s primary challengers in OH-8 and came away very impressed with J.D. Winteregg. The man gets it. He gets the dire circumstances that the country is facing and he understands that John Boehner has been a singularly ineffective Speaker of the House. He needs to be unseated. […]

 

Trey Gowdy: You’re ***** Right We’ll Strip Obama of Funding

Posted on by John Hawkins

I like Trey Gowdy. In fact, I wish he would run for Lindsey Graham’s seat this year.

These guys […]
