Colin Powell Recites Democrat Talking Points in Support of Voter Fraud

Posted on by Dave Blount

Just what does it take to get an unhinged left-wing kook thrown out of the GOP? Endorsing a Marxist against his own party’s candidate didn’t work the first time or even the second. Publicly palling around with wild-eyed Whitey-hater Louis Farrakhan didn’t work. Denouncing gun rights and accusing his party of anti-black racism even after […]

 

Pharisees and Sadducees of the GOP

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Every Republican knows another Republican who agrees with them on 99% of the issues, yet will attack them relentlessly over the 1% of issues they disagree upon. Instead of uniting against the left, these busybodies waste countless hours criticizing other Republicans. They will frequently do it under the ruse of being the “true conservatives,” claiming […]

 

Krispy Kreme Christie Shoots NRA in the Back

Posted on by Dave Blount

You wouldn’t let rattlesnakes into your house; why allow venous snakes like Chris Christie in your party?

Chris Christie, thought to be eyeing […]

 

Renee Ellmers: Obama Exploiting Tragedy For Political Gain

Posted on by William Teach

Nice to see an elected Republican calling it as she sees it and fighting back, instead of the typical mumbling that comes from Republicans (Daily Caller) “President Obama is once again exploiting a tragedy for political gain and eroding our constitutional rights for the sake of an extreme liberal agenda,” Ellmers said in the statement.

Looking Forward To A Shutdown

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

President Obama’s press conference yesterday showed America just exactly what he meant when he said he would not negotiate on raising the debt ceiling. He will not negotiate. He will take no prisoners. He will accept nothing less than complete and total surrender to his agenda. Once again, the President of the United States seeks […]

 

Exposing the tactics and language of the left

Posted on by Josh Bernstein

The Democratic Party are masters of deception and illusion. When something sounds too good to be true it usually is. That is how the modern day Democratic Party operates. The left is very adept at hiding their true intentions by misnaming legislation. They can take an unpopular bill and soften its image by giving it […]

 

Republican Main Street Partnership RINOs Turn Out To Be Just RINORiffic As Conservatives Thought

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite the positive press this will probably draw from the mainstream media, the good news is that the Republican Main Street Partnership just rendered itself completely irrelevant with this move. Enter former GOP rep and noted Boehner ally Steve LaTourette, who’s going to show those “chuckleheads” in the tea party a thing or two by […]

 

The GOP Establishment Wants To Pick Candidates For You Yokels In The Primaries

Posted on by John Hawkins

After yet another crummy election cycle, the GOP establishment has finally come out with a plan. Is it fixing our archaic get-out-the-vote program? Doing minority outreach? Registering more Republicans? Freshening up the party’s agenda? Doing a better job of working with the grassroots? No, it’s interfering in primaries. The disastrous 2012 election and embarrassing fiscal […]

Obama: “I Will Not Negotiate Over Debt Ceiling”

An Inauspicious Start

Posted on by Dave Blount

On CNN, vulgar moonbat entertainer Kathy Griffin marked the new year by proclaiming, “I’m going to tickle your sac,” and kissing the crotch of homosexual cohost Anderson Cooper. From there, the new year quickly proceeded downhill: According to the Congressional Budget Office, the last-minute fiscal cliff deal reached by congressional leaders and President Barack Obama […]

 

Building The Fiscal Cliff, One Dollar At A Time

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

To hear the politicians tell it, you would think that the Fiscal Cliff negotiations were a case of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. President Obama and the Democrats won’t budge on their oh, so essential tax hikes on the evil rich, and those stiff-necked Republicans won’t budge on their insistence that tax rates […]

 

Can We Choose A Candidate Other Than Mark Or Jenny Sanford To Fill Tim Scott’s House Seat?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Can We Choose A Candidate Other Than Mark Or Jenny Sanford To Fill Tim Scott’s House Seat? Nikki Haley made the right call when she appointed Tim Scott to be Jim DeMint’s replacement in the Senate. However, that now means his House seat is open and will be filled in a special election. The good […]

 

5 Ways The GOP’s Poor Political Decision Making Helped Create This Fiscal Cliff Mess + Why I Would Have Voted For Boehner’s Plan B

Posted on by John Hawkins

Don’t let anyone kid you; there is no winning hand on the fiscal cliff mess. The whole thing is a disaster, largely of the GOP’s own making and the only question is how badly we’re going to lose. If I were a Republican in the House, I would have voted for Plan B last night. […]

 

A Short Open Letter To Joe Wilson: Reconsider And Run Against Lindsey Graham In 2014

Posted on by John Hawkins

Dear Joe Wilson: Republicans in South Carolina need your help. Now that Tim Scott has been drafted to fill Jim DeMint’s shoes, you may be the only man who can free us of Lindsey Graham. We remember that Lindsey Graham was one of the biggest supporters of amnesty. We remember Graham trashing the Tea Party, […]

Is Boehner Actually Playing Obama On The Fiscal Cliff? Maybe…

Posted on by John Hawkins

Conservatives are understandably upset that John Boehner seems to be putting more and more on the table in an attempt to get a deal out of Obama who, so far at least, seems to be offering nothing but a “Thanks, sucker” in return. Speaker John Boehner has proposed allowing tax rates to rise for the […]

 

Mitch McConnell Should Retire Rather Than Risk Becoming The Todd Akin Of The 2014 Election Cycle

Posted on by John Hawkins

Mitch McConnell is up for reelection in 2014 and although he should be a high priority conservative target for a primary challenge, he has a huge war chest and he’s hired Ron and Rand Paul’s campaign chairman extraordinaire, Jesse Benton, to try to discourage any Republicans from running against him. Given Mitch McConnell’s horrible poll […]

 

The Communication Cliff

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

Republicans should be less worried about the Fiscal Cliff than about their own Communication Cliff. It seems that the GOP leadership has been gripped by a great communicative ineptitude, and until they escape from its grasp, they will continue to languish in political poverty, taking blame for fake crisis after fake crisis manufactured by the […]

 

Time to Remove Boehner as Speaker?

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) may have finally gone too far betraying conservatives. This past week, he removed three conservative Republican Congressmen from their committee positions in retaliation for not voting for his compromises on the budget with Democrats — compromises that led us to the current “fiscal cliff.” Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) […]

 

Jim DeMint Resigns From The Senate: Our Loss Is The Heritage Foundation’s Gain

Posted on by John Hawkins

Jim DeMint was Tea Party before The Tea Party was cool. During the Bush years, there were times when he was the lone beacon of conservative light in an ocean of squishy Republican darkness — and he caught Hell for it. His staffers used to ask for any help or support he could get on […]

Sen. Orrin Hatch: Obama Fiscal Proposal ‘Classic Bait and Switch’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Senator Orrin Hatch (R, Utah) delivered the GOP weekly address and it was a damn good one. He pulled no punches and laid it out straight that Obama lied when he ran for re-election and perpetrated a “classic bait and switch” maneuver. What ever you think of Mr. Hatch or the GOP, he spoke truth […]

 

Obama’s Plan: Tax Now, Cut Later

Posted on by Michael Fell

Obama has demonstrated zero flexibility on his insistence that higher tax rates for the wealthy kick in on January 1, 2013. To those familiar with “progressive” modus operandi, it is not surprising that the White House and their “progressive” political allies envision Medicare and other “entitlement” savings happening ten to twenty years from now. This […]

 

Republicans In DC Need To Learn Politics Is Like Boxing

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the worst things about the Republican Party in DC is how utterly and thoroughly cowed they are by the press. They’re defensive, passive, quick to criticize their own side and far too willing to forgive egregious mistakes by the Democrats. Why? Because if they go on the attack, the Democrats will fight back […]

 

NY Times: Hey, We’re Missing The Big Issues While Focusing On Benghazi Talking Points

Posted on by William Teach

Scott Shane, writing for the Fish Wrap, makes a darned good point, part of one that I’ve been making in blog posts and on Twitter for well over a month. Much of the article is focused on providing cover for Susan Rice, Barack Obama, and others involved in giving us the stupid “it was a […]
