Tuesday Funny: So, How’s That Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame Movie Doing?

Posted on by William Teach

The answer would be: beyond dismal. This bit of fanciful fluff, which attempts to paint Valerie Wilson as just a normal mom before 9am, to some sort of international spy flying around the world putting out fires, being involved in firefights, like James Bond, during the day, opened Friday, November 5th, and, pulled in a […]

 

Republican Who Co-Authored Light Bulb Law Wants Energy Chair

Posted on by William Teach

Here’s a test for the GOP: do they let this guy have the chairmanship? He has some really good points and some really bad points, yet, we have this little bit of Big Government climate alarmism Rep.

Democrat’s Anti-Capitalist Net Neutrality Wounded, But Not Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Just before election day the liberal blogs were aflutter with news that 95 Democratic Congressional candidates had taken the pledge to support Net neutrality if they were elected.

“Now The Republicans Will Have To Govern”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Since the election, we’ve heard the Democrats say over and over, “Now the Republicans will have to govern!” First off, that’s not really true.

Face it, GOP ‘Moderates’ Are Party Traitors

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A party is a party.

Post Shellacking: Why The Establishment Republicans Still Hate DeMint, Palin, And The Tea Party

Posted on by John Hawkins

First off, let me give you a little history lesson. Before Sarah Palin or the Tea Parties made a big splash, Jim DeMint was on point in the Senate, fighting on behalf of conservatives.

Californians: Vote a straight Republican ticket

Posted on by Bookworm

My friend Sally Zelikovsky says it in the clearest words possible: Unless conservatives in California vote for the Republicans, we will have a Sacramento government made up entirely of San Francisco Democrats. If that horrible outcome sounds painfully obvious to you, you don’t know California. There are two dynamics in California that are a problem. […]

Fish Wrap: GOP Winning The House May Be Good For Obama

Because he really needs an enemy. Wait, what? Let there be no mistake: President Obama wants the Democrats to win next week’s midterm elections.

CNN Asks The Important Campaign Question: Where Are Bush And Cheney?

Posted on by William Teach

Oh, my, where oh where are they? Dick Cheney is certainly not one to hold back on how he really feels. George W. Bush, on the other hand, has been mum.

Democrats Using Typical Tactics, Calling Republicans Stupid

Posted on by William Teach

If Democrats are just so much smarter than everyone else, particularly Republicans/Conservatives, then why has the economy been in such dismal shape despite the recession being over (supposedly) for well over a year?
