The Political Fall-Out In Wisconsin

Posted on March 11, 2011March 11, 2011 by John Hawkins

So, now that Scott Walker and the Republicans have won in Wisconsin, people are asking, “Is it a pyrrhic victory? Did they win a short term victory that will cost them big?” The polls seem to show that Walker has taken a beating and independents are slanting against the bill. Still, there are a few […]

Ind. Republicans Spoof on Fleebagging Democrats in Satire Song

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

At least the GOP has been civil during this whole debate. This is not something that the wild-eyed, hatemongers on the left of the union thugs can say. Well, here are some elected GOP officials in Indiana trying to lighten the mood a bit with a spoof on the old John Denver song “Take Me […]

Simply priceless to watch: WI Democrat Gordon Hintz: have this meltdown on the Assembly floor.: Take away his: anger and you’d think he was talking about the Obamacare bill that was rammed down our throats this time last year.: But, I guess that was different—government takeover of one-sixth of the US economy, increasing health insurance premiums, and stripping […]

Kinzinger Calls for Serious Efforts to Address the Budget

Posted on February 28, 2011February 28, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

This is about newly elected Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, but the points pertain to the whole situation in Congress, so I thought it might be of interest and that I’d post it to RWN anyway.

What Republicans Should Learn From Mitch Daniels Failure In Leadership

Posted on February 24, 2011February 24, 2011 by John Hawkins

In an appalling display of spinelessness, Mitch Daniels completely caved when Democrats in Indiana fled the state rather than vote on a union bill. So, how was Mitch Daniels rewarded by the Democrats for his bipartisan, moderate choice to reach across the aisle in the spirit of compromise? Did they all immediately head back to […]

Pranking Scott Walker: “Hello, I’m Really A Koch Brother. I Swear”

Posted on February 24, 2011February 24, 2011 by John Hawkins

Defunding Obama’s Union Led Regulatory Army

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

You might recall that with great fanfare and the slobberingly positive coverage by the Old Media, President Obama made Reagan-like and claimed that he thought it was time to get rid of the regulations strangling American business. Since that time he’s met with businesses and pretended to suddenly be a pro-business, pro-economic growth president. His […]

How Obama’s Big Labor Pals Warp the System

Posted on February 17, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Last September the Senate refused to reverse a rules change made out of pocket by Obama’s National Mediation Board. The rule change reversed a 75-year-old practice and made it possible to unionize a company even if less than half of its employees wanted to be unionized. Previous to the rules change, any company in the […]

Obama And Dems Suddenly Want Bipartisanship On Budget

Posted on February 16, 2011 by William Teach

It’s always amusing when Democrats call for “bipartisanship”, because it means that their ideas are really bad, and they want to include Republicans, so they can throw Republicans under the bus when the legislation is really horrendous and the American People hate it. Witness the budget President Obama conceded on Tuesday that his new budget […]

Unhinged CCR Announces Bush Indictment For Torture

Posted on February 8, 2011 by William Teach

Interesting that the Center For Constitutional Rights, a far left pro-communist and open borders lobby group, has never announced an indictment against people like Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, or any of the other Islamic terrorists on the FBI’s top 10 list. Of course, like so many on the far left, they quietly support the […]

Posted on February 6, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

We are still living in Ronald Reagan’s era, despite the constant refrains from Democrats and the left that Reaganism is long dead.
