Lou Holtz: The Country Is Done

Posted on by William Teach

Nice to see that someone gets it (Daily Caller) During an address to the Ripon Society on Tuesday, Boehner revealed that Holtz consulted him via text messages on Monday night following Obama’s inauguration. “Last night, I got a three-page text from my good friend Lou Holtz, who must have watched the inaugural and then all […]

 

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? The latest outrage from the pork-scarfing RINO who repaid his precious keynote slot at the Republican National Convention by doing more than any other person to get Obama reelected: New Jersey Gov. 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 […]

 

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”

Posted on by William Teach

Der Fuhrer has spoken (Slate) In a brief address Tuesday night, President Obama saluted the passage of a fiscal cliff deal that the White House had negotiated with the Senate. Then he fired a warning shot at Congressional Republicans, saying he won’t tolerate another down-to-the-wire battle over the debt ceiling this spring. “I will not […]

 

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 […]

 

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. […]

 

Big Government NAACP Not Pleased With Tim Scott Pick

Posted on by William Teach

Why? Tim Scott refuses to toe the NAACP line (Daily Caller) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People isn’t too excited about the appointment of Rep. Tim Scott to South Carolina’s soon-to-be-vacated U.S. Senate seat. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced her appointment of the black Republican during a noon press conference in […]

 

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 […]

 

Tax Rich Republicans

Posted on by Ann Coulter

Republicans have been forced into a Hobson’s choice of either letting the Bush tax cuts expire for everyone or agreeing to a tax hike on the top 2 percent of income earners (not to be confused with “the rich,” who have already made, inherited or married their money). If Republicans object to the Democrats’ hitting […]

 

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) […]

 

Time To Double-Down, Not Sell Out

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

“What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” -Matthew 16:26   While this year’s election was a mixed bag for the GOP overall, many are still mourning Mitt Romney’s loss in the presidential election, and the jury is still out on how the Republican Party will react […]

 

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 […]

 

Washington Post Inadvertently Makes A Good Point On Susan Rice Talking Points

Posted on by William Teach

Instead of running a “we’re thankful for…” editorial Thursday, something positive, the Washington Post editorial board attempted some tushy covering for Team Obama and Susan Rice The GOP’s bizarre attack on Susan Rice SINCE THE Senate is solely responsible for the confirmation of Cabinet officers, it’s not often that members of the House of Representatives […]
