Marco Rubio Asks His Supporters To Help Scott Brown

Will Scott Brown make liberals across America go to sleep on pillows soggy with their own tears next week? We don’t know for sure. If you had to bet, you’d have to say the odds are against Brown pulling out a victory in ultra-liberal Taxachusetts. However, Brown legitimately has a shot to win. Rasmussen shows […]

 

Republican Men, Gird Yer Loins

A woman’s hormonal cycle will start to mesh with other women when in proximity. A man’s hormones also seemed to be linked to other men. Via Allahpundit on Twitter comes this research gem from Scientific American: With its winners and losers, politics is a lot like sports. Now biologists have the testosterone–or lack thereof–to prove […]

 


Rudy Flub Brings Out Vultures

For several days now the Old Media has been indulging in a steady attack on former Mayor Rudy Giuliani that tends to misdirect readers away from his criticism of President Obama. First by making what Giuliani said of Obama seem more adulatory than it was and second by focusing on a rather unexceptional remark that […]

 

The Left: Bending Over Backwards to Excuse Racism

A new book about the 2008 presidential election has made quite a stir with its revelation that Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) chose some, shall we say, unfortunate wording when referring to then candidate Barack Obama in some “private” discussions with reporters during the late presidential campaign. In the book Game Change penned […]

 

Scott Brown Race in Massachusetts: Turnout Matters

Pollster.com has some interesting analysis: Turnout Will Matter — The big spread in results among the polls, and differences apparent within two of them, are all consistent in supporting one finding: The lower the turnout, the better the odds for Scott Brown.

Sen. Ben Nelson: Say, Maybe We Shudda Waited on Healthcare ‘Reform’

Every week we are seeing another Democrat deciding not to run for re-election or one that is switching parties to the GOP all due to the wild, left-wing overreach indulged in by the Obama Administration and its cohorts in Congress. Connecticut’s Senator Chris Dodd is only the latest heavy hitter Democrat that is looking for […]

 

Tea Party Debate Continued: My Reply to Steve McQueen of BigGovernment.com

In what I suppose is round three, I’d like to take a moment to reply to the criticism of my Tea Party article which was titled “Tea Parties: The Biggest Mistake We Could Make in 2010.” That criticism is penned by my fellow BG contributor, Steve McQueen whose piece titled “For Tea Parties, Bigger Is […]

 

Democrats on Rasmussen Polls: The Numbers Ain’t Right and The Question is Flawed

The Politico published a Jan. 2 we-shoot-the-messenger styled story about lefty bloggers and Democrat activists who are upset that the Rasmussen polling group has so often found numbers trending in support of the GOP position. Not only has Rasmussen found that Obama’s approval rating is going down steadily, but it has been finding that Republicans […]

 

13 State Attorneys Threaten Lawsuit Over ObamaCare

The question is, is this something they will actually do, and, why are they doing it now? Republican attorneys general in 13 states say congressional leaders must remove Nebraska’s political deal from the federal health care overhaul bill or face legal action, according to a letter provided to The Associated Press Wednesday. “We believe this […]

 

DeMint Decries Union Obstruction in TSA

The Democrats are trying to paint the GOP as “obstructionists” for blocking the appointment of Obama’s choice of Erroll Southers to head up the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Democrats are claiming that by blocking the closure of debate on Southers the GOP is trying to obstruct “tighter security at airports.” But there is an ulterior […]

 

Andy Martin: Republican Fruit Loop

One of the downsides of getting to a certain level in the blogosphere is that candidates from all across the country slap you on their mailing lists and send you their “exciting” day-to-day exploits. “Candidate Smith comes out against deficit” “Candidate Smith to attend fund raiser” “Candidate Smith condemns opponent Jones for his boneheaded shenanigans” […]

 

The Fire ‘Em All Approach to Voting is Just Silly

Many good, honest conservatives want to fire all of Congress. One of the latest efforts is a website called goooh.com (as in GetOutOfOurHouse.com). Believe me, I understand the feeling. Congress has miserably failed to satisfy the voters. They’ve been arrogant, they’ve spent more time accumulating personal wealth than legislating, they’ve casually ignored the entirety of […]

 

Senate Republicans: Fight! Fight Until The Bitter End

Rumor has it that the Republican Senators are thinking about yielding their time on the Senate floor so they can be home with their families for Christmas. My advice? Don’t do it. Please, please don’t do it. Americans already feel detached from their leaders. Already Americans feel voiceless and helpless before the socialist onslaught of […]

 

A Tale of Two Presidents: How Media Treated Bush’s Unemployment #’s Compared to Obama’s

It never ceases to amaze me how differently the Old Media treats Republican presidents compared to how they treat Democrat Presidents during times of unemployment reporting. Today, in the vaunted era of Obama, the unemployment numbers for November 2009 have come out and it shows some of the highest unemployment numbers since the Great Depression. […]

 

Democrats Win A $400 Billion Cut In Medicare

This is the kind of issue that, if the GOP leadership was smart, will very shortly be showing up in commercials and talking points from now till the 2010 elections In the first showdown over the Senate health care bill, Democrats on Thursday successfully defended more than $400 billion in Medicare cuts, turning back a […]

 

Why Conservatives Have Trouble Getting Elected

The reasons that I could never get elected to any government position is the same reason why conservatives have a tough time getting elected and, if they end up elected, can’t govern in this era of the ill-educated voter. First I’ll lay out my main principles… Leave me alone Stop taxing me Shove your regulations […]

 

Sarah Palin More Popular With Liberals Than Conservatives. No Joke.

No, this is not meant to be a joke. Perhaps obsessed should replace popular in the title. Part of my job is to scour the web and to see what people are talking about. While I was browsing Democratic Underground today (extremely liberal forum,) I realized these people are obsessed with Palin. I do not […]

 


Relying On Republicans: It’s Always Darkest Before It Goes Pitch Black

I mean, it’s always darkest before the dawn. Yeah, that’s what I meant. Do you have any confidence that the Republicans will fight passage of this disastrous health care bill? With 60% of America against this bill, one would think this fight would be pretty safe fight. That is, people are on your side. The […]

 

Where is THIS Republican Party?

An excerpt of the 1924 Republican Party Platform: The prosperity of the American nation rests on the vigor of private initiative which has bred a spirit of independence and self-reliance. The republican party stands now, as always, against all attempts to put the government into business. American industry should not be compelled to struggle against […]

 

Charlie Crist: A Serving of Pork Sounds Good

On November 11, I wrote of the statements that Charlie Crist made denying that he ever supported Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill in his role as Florida’s Governor. Unfortunately for his obfuscation, though, I noted that he and 17 other governors signed a letter in February of this year announcing support for the Stimulus. Apparently […]

 

Thinning The RINO Herd?

Here’s an interesting exchange between Chris Wallace and Republican GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Fox News Sunday yesterday: WALLACE: Let me turn, because I would – I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t ask you a few political questions, Senator. Conservatives are now talking about launching primary challenges against […]

 


Kirk Denies He’s Going Right With Palin Request

Mark Kirk is denying that he’s trying to angle rightward in the run up to the GOP primary next year with his recent reaching out to Governor Sarah Palin to secure her endorsement for his candidacy. “I think I am who I am. I am a social moderate, fiscal conservative. But this is a big […]

 

Lindsey Gramnesty in Bed With George Soros

Moonbat politics makes for some extremely unsavory bedfellows. With amnesty for illegal alien colonists off the front burner for now, alleged Republican Lindsey Graham has been advancing the liberal agenda by pushing “climate change” legislation. Ads running in his home state declare that he is “fighting to protect South Carolina” by helping the Obamination Administration […]

 

Thoughts on SPN 2009

I have been missing from the site for several days and I’d like to explain why. I attended the State Policy Network 17th Annual conference in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. Here is what I found: Some final thoughts on the State Policy Network‘s 17th Annual Conference. It was invigorating to be able to share a […]

 

Michele Bachmann’s House Call.

I have some seriously mixed emotions right now. Today was amazing. I was blown away by the shift in the GOP Representatives. There were so many who were FINALLY getting it. It was like they realized we weren’t going away, and they’d better get on board. It’s about time. I have been busting my tail […]

 

Lindsay Graham (Still) Has Issues With Being Conservative

Quite frankly, one of the last people in the Republican Party who should be discussing the direction of the Republican Party is old Mr. Amnesty himself The morning after Republicans lost an upstate New York House seat, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned that conservative activists will bring destruction to the Republican Party if they drive […]

 

Election: Democrats Should Be Nervous, Republicans Should Wake Up

Quick takes: Hoffman loss: What She said. Michelle Malkin nails it: Conservatives owe NY-23 candidate Doug Hoffman immeasurable gratitude. He overcame impossible odds (single digits just a month ago) to come within two points of defeating Democrat Bill Owens. Hoffman had zero name recognition. National Republican Party officials dumped nearly $1 million into the race […]
