The Case for Donald Trump for President

Posted on January 31, 2011January 31, 2011 by Jane Jamison

Donald Trump can win the election for President of the United States in 2012. He is the only one who can beat Barack Obama. Not only can Trump win, he could be the best president of the United States since Ronald Reagan. We need to get behind him now and here is why.: [And no, […]

Remember: Obamacare is Great… Well Unless You Are a Union, Then You Don’t Have to Suffer Under it

Posted on January 31, 2011January 31, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

If you’ll recall, Big Labor was one of the biggest cheerleaders for Obamacare. Big Labor was insistent that Obama’s take over of our nation’s healthcare was the best thing since sliced bread, to be sure. But once Obamacare got passed into law, we’ve learned that dozens of unions have sought exemptions to get out from […]

Why Mittcare Makes Mitt Romney An Ineffective Presidential Candidate

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

It’s no secret that I take a very dim view of Mitt Romney . If you want to know why, here’s a 2007 piece I wrote called The Conservative Case Against Mitt Romney. Still, back in 2007, I generally considered Romneycare to be a political positive for Mitt. Mitt should be talking health care all […]

The Left’s New Civil-sorship

Posted on January 22, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Let’s be civil, OK? I mean, let’s tone it down out there. You people need to rise to a better, more civil discourse. I know this because the entire left wing in America today is telling us this (even as Democrat Steve Cohen is calling anyone that opposes him a Nazi). We need to get […]

Whew! Top 10 Leading GOP Contenders Are Mostly On The “Screw The Climate” Side

Posted on January 21, 2011January 21, 2011 by William Teach

Our old pall Lisa Hymas is back to inform us about 10 GOP presidential contenders, 10 different ways to screw the climate. This is a break from her normal hyperbole, typically about being a GINK (green inclinations, no kids), how having kids (known as little carbon footprints) is bad, a focus on population being bad, […]

Dick Cheney Makes Liberal Heads Further Explode By… Agreeing With Them!

Posted on January 20, 2011January 20, 2011 by William Teach

It’s truly amusing when there are certain positions that Bush and/or Cheney took that pretty much mirrored the Left side positions. Remember the whole amnesty debate, when Bush’s position was essentially the same as the Democrats? It took liberals a good day or say to figure out a way to bash him for taking the […]

Politico’s Token “Conservative” Blames Right Wing Hate

Posted on January 18, 2011 by William Teach

Most insiders know that Joe Scarborough, hired to be Politico’s token conservative, is anything but. At one point, he may have been a Reagan Republican, but, since starting work at MSNBC, he has slowly moved further and further to the left, as the station did. But, Joe has some un-civil words for those on the […]

Sarah Palin “Saturation” Has Made Her the “Hillary of the Right”

Posted on January 15, 2011January 15, 2011 by Jane Jamison

It is time for Sarah Palin to sit quietly for awhile, at least a few weeks, and let others defend her. It is time for her to let things “settle” in Tucson, because the shooting had nothing to do with her.

NH Republican Establishment Working Against Tea Party Candidate?

Posted on January 15, 2011January 14, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

And so it begins. Now that the 2010 midterms are done and the Tea Party has shown itself to be a real political force, the GOP establishment is making plans to undermine Tea Party power and reassert its own RINO, country club control of the party. It’s happening in New Hampshire, anyway, as it seems […]

Michael Steele Leaves RNC: “…now I Exit Stage-Right”

Posted on January 14, 2011January 14, 2011 by Jane Jamison

Yes, Michael, we will remember you, all right. “Major Donors Abandon RNC; Debt Soars”

GOP Push To Repeal ObamaCare Will Resume Next Week

Posted on January 14, 2011January 14, 2011 by Sister Toldjah

Via the Washington Post, which reports that it will happen with a so-called ‘more civil tone’ (hat tip): House Republican leaders said Thursday that they will begin their effort to repeal the new health-care law next week, a return to normal legislative business after the shootings in Arizona suspended activity on Capitol Hill. But no […]

GOP Leaders Respond to Arizona Crime

Posted on January 10, 2011January 10, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Over the weekend many of the leaders in the Republican Party responded to this criminal action perpetrated against a fellow member of Congress on Saturday. It is important that their words be heard because of the din of the Old Media and the Democrats is so loud as to have drowned out the sorrow that […]

Enough With The Political Blame Game When Things Like The Giffords Shooting Happen!

Posted on January 9, 2011January 9, 2011 by William Teach

Looking all over the Internet, from blog sites to the major news media, they are all aflutter with speculation about whether the shooting of Giffords, which also resulted in the death of a 9 year old, a federal judge, and four others, was politically motivated. He’s being called a political terrorist, we hear that “words […]

Even As Arizona Shooting Story Unfolds, Some Media Already Blaming Tea Party/Sarah Palin

Posted on January 8, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Even as the early, sketchy details of the shooting incident in Arizona were still emerging some members of the left-leaning media were already trying to tie the killer to Tea Party activism in general and Sarah Palin in particular. Andrew Sullivan of the Atlantic.com was early to attempt to link lunatic killer Jared Loughner to […]

Let’s break out the chainsaws – 5 programs the GOP can cut today

Posted on January 8, 2011 by Chris Wysocki

I want to give Speaker John Boehner the benefit of the doubt. Really, I do. But it’s hard when he fumbles the gimmes like he did in an interview with Brian Williams of NBC News. WILLIAMS: Name a program right now that we could do without. BOEHNER: I don’t think I have one off the […]

Paul Ryan Promises to Eat His Tie if ObamaCare Reduces Deficit

Posted on January 7, 2011 by Dave Blount

Of all the insolent falsehoods we’ve been fed by oligarchical collectivists lately, the most insulting to our intelligence may be the whopper that government seizure of the healthcare industry will, instead of adding even more massively to the deficit than other entitlement programs, magically reduce it. Fortunately there is at least one countermoonbat in Congress […]

GOP-Controlled House Judiciary Committee Fires First Shot at DOJ

Posted on January 7, 2011 by Sister Toldjah

And the New Black Panther case controversy is at the centerpiece of it’s first oversight letter. Right Turn’s Jennifer Rubin reports: Right Turn has obtained the first oversight letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) issued to the Justice Department. While he was in the minority, Smith labored, largely unsuccessfully, on the committee […]

GOP Looks To Block EPA Climate Alarmism Regulations

Posted on January 7, 2011January 7, 2011 by William Teach

Obviously, this will drive the greenie-weenies insane, because they think that Someone Else besides themselves should have to suffer House Republicans wasted no time Thursday in trying to block the Obama administration from acting to stem global warming. On their second day in power, Republican lawmakers introduced several bills that would hamstring the Environmental Protection […]

Marco Rubio Stuck in the Basement

Posted on January 6, 2011 by Robert Stacy McCain

While I was on Capitol Hill to cover Wednesday’s swearing-in of the 112th Congress, I dropped by Marco Rubio’s office: Alas, poor Marco! Florida’s Tea Party superstar has been stuck in a temporary office in the basement, behind the cafeteria, on a dead-dead corridor across the hall from the Senate stationery store! The new senator […]

Representative Marsha Blackburn (R, TN) has introduced a bill to preempt the December power grab by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski and she has made the bill bipartisan with the support of Democrat Dan Boren (Oklahoma).

Steve King (R-Iowa) Submits Bill To Stop Anchor Babies

Posted on January 6, 2011 by William Teach

And unlike during the Democrat controlled Congress, this legislation from Republicans will actually see a floor vote Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) isn’t wasting any time with his immigration agenda, dropping a bill on the first day of Congress that goes after birthright citizenship. King’s measure would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act, ending automatic citizenship […]

The GOP Takes Control Of The House Today. Obviously, That Has Unhinged The NY Times

Posted on January 5, 2011January 5, 2011 by William Teach

There are all sorts of fun stories running around the liberal media today, ones such as this one, which is already proclaiming the GOP is having problems with cohesion. And this one from Time, which wonders if the opening ceremony, which includes “showcasing their fealty to the Constitution,” is making a mockery of ….. something. […]

Governator Exits Clinton Style

Posted on January 3, 2011 by Dave Blount

Arnold Schwarzenegger finished his disastrous stint as Governator appropriately — with a final act of pandering to the Democrats who have been ruining California and whom he was elected to confront: In his final night before leaving office, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger commuted the prison sentence of the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez who […]

Republicans Plan ObamaCare Repeal Votes Before State Of The Union

Posted on January 3, 2011 by William Teach

Incoming House Speaker John Boehner pledges that the GOP “Pledge To America” will not become a worthless piece of paper, much as the “Contract with America” became. Things will change. He has already put out the new rules, and plans to take them seriously. We’ll see. And one thing we’ll see soon will be votes […]

Democrats Freak Out Over Bumper Sticker Depicting Obama Being Hit By Train

Posted on December 30, 2010 by William Teach

Did I mention that the bumper sticker appears to be bloody? A top state Republican is taking offense at a Democratic bumper sticker that he claims shows a train slamming into Governor-elect Scott Walker’s head in a bloody crash. The bumper sticker is available on the Wisconsin Democratic Party’s Web site. It depicts a train […]

Christine O’Donnell Responds to Rumors of Investigations

Posted on December 29, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Word has run like wildfire through the Internet that former GOP Senate candidate for Delaware, Christine O’Donnell, is under investigation for misuse of campaign funds.

Why Won’t MSNBCs Ed Schultz Interview Republicans? Cuz he is ‘Sick of ‘Em,’ of Course

Posted on December 27, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

t’s funny how lefties always consider themselves the more “logical,” the more civilized,” and more “adult” side of the argument. Why, they just want to have an adult debate to explain how correct their ideas are, right? Well, they might unless they work for MSNBC, apparently. Especially if they’re Ed Schultz. Ed Schultz, you see, […]

SHOCKING: Soros Funded University Poll Says Fox News Viewers Most ‘Misinformed’ Politically

Posted on December 20, 2010December 20, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

A poll conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org, a “project” run out of the University of Maryland, was the toast of the left-wingers last week for its finding that Fox News viewers were the most “misinformed” during the 2010 election cycle. Sadly, few of the news pieces on this poll mentioned that WorldPublicOpinion.org is funded in part by […]

Democrats Slip Bringing Terrorists to American Prisons into Defense Bill

Posted on December 17, 2010 by Warner Todd Huston

Senator Mark Kirk (R, IL) is raising a red flag over the defense bill because the Democrat led House of Representatives and Democrat led Senate has slipped in a provision that would allow accused terrorists to be housed in prisons in the interior of the United States.
