Jon Huntsman Now A Climate Realist?

Posted on by William Teach

Remember, this was the guy who tweeted ““To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.” And, regarding anthropogenic global warming, we did call him crazy. And his campaign went no where. Not that it was going anywhere to start with. Now, via the Politico, we learn that […]

To put it succinctly, she ran her mouth without thinking, and had to retreat (ABC News) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi now says she is not sitting on a trove of opposition research on former House Speaker-turned-GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.

Can One Want to Follow Even An Imperfect Constitution?

Posted on by Brian Garst

Politico reporter Reid Epstein is vexed by Republican presidential candidates who promote constitutional fidelity, but yet also call for amending the document: To hear the Republican presidential candidates tell it, the U.S. Constitution is the guiding light of democracy, a bedrock document so perfect and precise that it shouldn’t be challenged, interpreted or besmirched by […]

 

Huntsman Campaign On Trump Debate – “lol, no thanks, getting the popcorn ready”

Posted on by William Teach

One often has to wonder what goes through the head of Jon Huntsman. This was the guy the media dubbed as the only Republican who could beat Obama, and that Team Obama was scared to death of him running.

“progressives” Revise History…Again

Posted on by Michael Fell

Thanks to the energy of the Tea Party, the 2010 midterm elections established a mandate for reducing the size and scope of government by way of spending cuts. Evidence of this mandate is readily found in the record number of anti big government Republicans who replaced “progressive” Democrats in the House of Representatives. It’s also […]

 

David Frum To Leave The GOP If Either Huntsman Or Romney Isn’t Nominated?

Posted on by John Hawkins

In what may be the most terrifying threat to Republicans since Helen Thomas said she’d kill herself if Dick Cheney ran for President, David Frum has pulled out the BIG GUNS. Steel yourself, Republicans, because if you choose someone other than Romney or Huntsman, you may not have David Frum to kick around anymore. The […]

Shockingly, Supercommittee To Fail, Now Trading Blame

Posted on by William Teach

In all seriousness, did anyone think that the Supercommittee would actually come up with some sort of deal to save a paltry $1.2 trillion – rather weird to write paltry regarding that amount of money, yet, it is paltry when it comes to the federal budget – over 10 years? The GOP wanted actual cuts, […]

VIDEO: Harrington Looking to Topple Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I was able to take a few minutes to interview Karen Harrington, a candidate for a Florida House seat. Oh, she’s not running for just any House seat. She’s running to topple the odious Debbie Wasserman-Schultz — mouth of the Democrat National Committee. Harrington ran against Wasserman Schultz in the 20th District in 2010 and […]

 

In Which I Defend Rick Perry After He Stumbles Hard In Debate

Posted on by William Teach

It’s no secret that I do not like Rick Perry as a candidate and politician. I do not trust him. He isn’t that likeable to me. Looking at his record, he appears to be another in a long line of Big Government Republicans. I did not like how nasty the primaries became the minute he […]

Yesterday we first had the revelation that Herman Cain might have got a bit frisky with Sharon Bialek, who remembered every detail of something that happened 14 years ago, which amounted to….Cain supposedly getting frisky. Then, from the Washington Examiner we learned A former employee of the United States Agency for International Development says Republican […]

 

One Chance That a President Mitt Romney Wouldn’t Be So Bad

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I cannot support Mitt Romney in this coming GOP primary. The one reason why can be summed up simply as this: he flip flops. Romney has more flip flops than a California beachfront. Mitt has been proven a man without anchor adrift in a sea of issues that push him and pull him with the […]

 

I Declare Politico’s Attack On Herman Cain Racist

Posted on by William Teach

Obviously, the big news Sunday night through Monday was the very old sexual harassment charges against Herman Cain while I was away visiting with the parents. It’s sent the media, including some on the right, into a frenzy, even going so far as saying Cain’s campaign is over. It all begs the question: who leaked […]

Better late than never. Skipping the preamble and heading to the meat (Wall Street Journal) On Tuesday I will announce my “Cut, Balance and Grow” plan to scrap the current tax code, lower and simplify tax rates, cut spending and balance the federal budget, reform entitlements, and grow jobs and economic opportunity.

Media Tries to Make Rick Perry a Birther

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left-wing media’s newest attack on Rick Perry is an attempt to make him into a “birther” — one of those folks that think Barack Obama is not a natural born American, a requirement to become our president. This new attack, though, is almost Clintonian in its careful avoidance of the truth. The main attack […]

Perhaps Obama shouldn’t have been running his mouth earlier in the day while being campaigner in chief (Politico) President Barack Obama called House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) Thursday to congratulate him for passing three trade agreements – but ended up getting an earful on the jobs debate. According to an unusually detailed account released by […]

 

Flip Flop: Romney Now Accepting Occupy Wall Streeter’s Premise?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Only days ago Mitt Romney was saying that the Occupy Wall Streeters were dangerous. But, true to his penchant to “grow” in his opinion (“growing” is what the rest of us call flip floping), Romney is now beginning to accept the OWS theme of “the 99%.” The OWSers — I call them the Occupy-Whatevers because […]

 

Senate GOP Set To Unveil Jobs Plan

Posted on by William Teach

It’s a real jobs plan, one meant to stimulate the economy and get people back to work, unlike Obama’s one which was a campaign platform that had so many poison pills that even his own party couldn’t pass it in the Democrat controlled Senate (The Politico) President Barack Obama had his American Jobs Act. Now, […]

 

Are Republicans Sabotaging the Economy?

Posted on by John Hawkins

From Steve Benen at the Washington Monthly: There’s been at least some discussion this year about the “sabotage” question — whether Republicans are deliberately hurting the country, holding back the economy on purpose, for the express purpose of undermining the Obama presidency. …Given recent events — the debt-ceiling scandal, the GOP-driven downgrade, the Republican rejection […]

 

Blame Corporations?

Posted on by Michael Fell

Would you hire people purely out of national loyalty knowing that doing so meant your company would eventually become fiscally insolvent? Corporations, like any business, are in business to make profits. Jobs are the byproduct of profits, not the other way around. Until U.S. corporate tax rates are cut to globally competetive levels, the corporations […]

 

Perry Pathetically Hits Romney On His Wealth, Plans To Join #OWS

Posted on by William Teach

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the minute Rick Perry jumped into the GOP presidential primary race, it turned much nastier, rather than just some jostling back and forth. It was more focused on each candidate providing their ideas on the future of America, and the candidates were running more against Obama […]

ABC’s Joy Behar: Historical Illiterate

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Sadly, ABC’s The View is what passes for as “intelligent” conversation on TV, these days. The View yacker Joy Behar’s blather is also indicative of the historical illiteracy of the far left in this country. Herman Cain made an appearance on the coffee klatch show this week and genius Behar had this comment about the […]

 

Good GOP Flip-Flops

Posted on by Tony Blankley

William F. Buckley, Jr., founding father of the modern conservative movement, famously asserted his doctrine of voting for the most conservative candidate who is electable. Let me presume to add an analytic codicil: The GOP and the conservative movement have tended to support the most conservative policies only when they are understood to be conservative […]

 

Republican Party Benefits From Obama Errors

Posted on by Dick Morris

The conventional wisdom holds that the parties in Congress are not locked in a zero sum game where the loss of one triggers the gain of the other. Instead, it appears that the parties are embracing one another in a downward death spiral, losing public favor with each passing month as their bickering continues. But […]
