GOP Shifts To The Hard Right On Debt Talks (?)

Posted on by William Teach

So says the Politico in a wonder article that could have been written by the DNC or the uber politicized White Democrat House Turning right with a vengeance, Republicans will bring to the House floor Tuesday a newly revised debt-ceiling bill that is remarkable for its total absence of compromise at this late date, two […]

 

GOP Votes To Defund EPA On Light Bulb Enforcement

Posted on by William Teach

Funny how this news was lost in the shuffle Friday, and I had to go to a British newspaper to find out Republicans claimed to have struck a blow for freedom on Friday when the House of Representatives voted to strip all funding from government programmes promoting energy-saving lightbulbs. The measure, brought as an amendment […]

 

Is Harry Reid Saving Mitch McConnell From Himself?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Rich Lowry at The Corner talks about the Democratic coupling of 1.5 trillion in cuts with Mitch McConnell’s surrender on the debt limit. Interestingly, the McConnell proposal seems to be getting better with Democratic input, although it’s all still very murky. I think this goes to show that Democrats want to be able to say […]

 

The Atlantic Attempts To Smear Michele Bachmann Through Her Church

Posted on by William Teach

I’m so glad they can take on this issue, after being dragged in kicking and screaming to the Jeremiah Wright controversy after Sean Hannity revealed it a year prior. Of course, all the writers at The Atlantic gave Obama a free pass after sitting for 20 years in the pews listening to an anti-American and […]

 

Republicans Should Call Obama’s Bluff On The Debt Ceiling

Posted on by John Hawkins

The American people are strongly opposed to raising the debt ceiling. The conservative base is demanding that Republicans finally, for the first time in years actually prove that they mean what they say about cutting spending insteading of kicking the can down the road yet again. It’s also not possible to pass any plan that […]

 

The Conservative Blogger Reaction To Mitch McConnell’s Debt Limit Plan

Posted on by John Hawkins

Some of the establishment Republicans seem to be warm to Mitch McConnell’s utter capitulation on the debt limit, but the reaction from the right side of the blogosphere was predictably savage. The following comments give you a pretty good idea of the sort of comments McConnell’s “plan” was drawing from the Rightroots. I mentioned in […]

 

I’ll Fully Support Mitch McConnell’s Great, New Debt Limit Compromise If He Resigns As Minority Leader As A Sweetener

Posted on by John Hawkins

Never underestimate the Republican Party’s capacity for stupidity, particularly amongst its leadership. No matter how strong their hand is, instinctually they lean towards doing exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time and they have legions of political insiders, consultants, and aides who assure them that they’re geniuses for spouting idiocy like this. Desperate to […]

 

Michele Bachmann Builds A Porn Star Lead In Iowa

Dear Speaker Boehner: Let’s Give Democrats The Old Tax Rates Back

Posted on by William Teach

(This is a letter and email that I have sent to Speaker Boehner, as well as to NC Senator Richard Burr and Congresswoman Renee Elmers, who will hopefully be my Rep. when redistricting is done, moving me to NC2, rather than Democrat Brad Miller in NC13. I’m also hoping that someone from one of their […]

 

Chicago: Two Anti-American Conferences Held on Independence Day

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

While patriotic Chicagoans attended parades, BBQs and otherwise celebrated our Independence Day holiday — and while Democrats stayed home and brooded — two of the most anti-American ideologies imaginable met to plot their revenge on the USA. Not only did representatives of these two ideologies meet, but they met in the same town, on the […]

 

BDS2: Is Michele Bachmann’s Husband….Gay?

Posted on by William Teach

You’d think that, one day, the Left would figure out that we know exactly who scares the watermelon juice out of them by how much they attack that person/group. Conversely, we know who doesn’t scare them, because they say “that guy scares us!” (see John Huntsman). Michele Bachmann is on the top of the hit-list […]

 

Michelle Bachmann Is Compassionate: Says She’ll Help Obama Find A Job

Posted on by William Teach

She’s a nice lady Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is getting more creative, and apparently more aggressive, in her political attacks against President Barack Obama.

Senator Thune On The Best Way To Meet With Obama

Posted on by William Teach

Could the GOP finally have gotten the clue, after Obama’s snit fit acting like a 5 year old not allowed to get a new My Little Unicorn presser, that it is time to take the gloves off? One of the Senate’s top Republicans on Thursday fired back at President Obama for questioning his party’s work […]

 

Today’s Bachmann Hit Piece: Her Husband’s Practice Received Medicare Money!

Posted on by William Teach

Somehow, this NBC News investigation….we’re still waiting for them to investigate anything regarding 2008 Democrat presidential contender Barack Obama….is supposed to create a big kerfuffle. It’s spread out through many news sources, along with liberal blogs, who are a bit unhinged over it (it would also be nice if the legacy media could spell her […]

A GOP Debt Limit Warning On Taxes

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite the fact that the Democrats want to actually increase spending right now, the GOP has been earnestly trying to get them to reduce spending in exchange for raising the debt limit. As you can imagine, that’s probably a difficult task that involves hours per day of basic economics, explaining the negatives of just printing […]

 

Media And Squishes Favorite Jon Hunstman Won’t Win Because He’s “Not Angry”

Posted on by William Teach

The Politico’s Mike Allen and Jim Vandehei start out in the right direction, but, quickly lose their way: Buzzkill: The problem with Jon Huntsman Hype From afar, it’s easy to get swept up by the hype: Jon Huntsman is accomplished, handsome, smart, and his civility message has appeal beyond the meat-eaters who dominate this early […]

 

VIDEO: A Time for Choosing

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

“So we have come to a time for choosing,” warned Ronald Reagan in his famous speech nominating Barry Goldwater for President in 1964. It was one of the most important speeches in American history — and remains terrifyingly true today. Millions without jobs. American values under attack. Bailouts, deficits, and debt that threatens the future […]

 

Jon Huntsman’s Path To Losing Primaries Goes Through Independents

Posted on by William Teach

Why does Jon Huntsman even matter enough for a post, you ask? Well, he is the Liberal Old Media’s preferred GOP frontrunner and general election nominee.

New Open Government and Spending Transparency Reforms Introduced

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

While the Obama administration plays its games with “czars,” more “boards,” and “committees” to implement government accountability policies, Representative Darrell Issa (R, Calif.) has introduced some measures that would do a far better job to meet those goals. President Obama has touted a “Government Accountability and Transparency Board” (GATB) as well as the Recovery Accountability […]

Illinois Congressmen Help Tip in Big Labor Amendment

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On Monday I alerted you all to a jobs-killing, union-favoring amendment being considered in the House of Representatives in Washington, one that needed to be defeated. Unfortunately, the amendment was successful and now, in this dour economy, unions will be able to make matters worse just when we need a shot in the arm. (See

 

NY Times Editorial Board Hated The GOP Debate

Posted on by William Teach

Hence, the Republicans on display must have actually done a good job! (Fish Wrap) Monday’s Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire – full of historical error, economic obfuscation, avoidance of hard truths and even outright bigotry – was a feast for connoisseurs of political dysfunction. Desperate to avoid being outflanked on the right, the seven […]

 

Thoughts on the CNN Republican Debate

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well the CNN debate of some of the GOP candidates for president is now in the history books and I thought I’d give my impression of those vying there. Before I do that, I have to comment on John King’s constant guttural vocal tick. It sounded like he had Tourette Syndrome with the grunts and […]
