The Curious Case of Linda McMahon

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We seem to have a trio of sudden Republicans in the news these days. I say sudden because there is a lack of any long history on the part of these three candidates of being Republicans for very long before running for office. In fact, it seems that all three only became Republicans once they […]

 

Is The NRSC Jumping the Gun in California?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Rasmussen polling group has recently reported its findings on the upcoming California Senate race and the results seem to say that the National Republican Senate Committee has jumped the gun by endorsing a candidate so early in the race. To date, Rasmussen has found that incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer (D) is holding her own against […]

 

2009 Cook County GOP Convention

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What are we going to do to clean up Obama’s corrupt Chicago Democrats? The Cook County GOP has some ideas… I just got back from attending the Saturday session of the Cook County Republican Party Convention (and before you ask, yes, there IS a Cook County Republican Party). It appeared that about 1,000 participants had […]

 

Drop the gag order, Sebelius.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Who knew they still had a spine? Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) — Senate Republicans vowed to block President Barack Obama’s nominee for surgeon general and other health officials unless the government drops what they said is a “gag order” barring insurers from lobbying their Medicare policyholders on the health-insurance overhaul. The move by Senate Minority Leader […]

 

GOP: Standing in the way of Utopia.

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Because clearly they’re entirely too accomodating to dissenting viewpoints. If anything, the Democrats’ problem is that they permit too much dissent–unlike the Republicans, who demand “lockstep marching.” In fact, if Democrats would learn to be just a little less tolerant of dissent, they might get a lot more done. Yeah, they just get STEAMROLLED. Poor […]

 

Ill. GOP Central Committee Meeting Report

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Note: I realize that this is sort of narrow, but I attended the Illinois GOP Central Committee meeting today and I thought some of you might be somewhat interested to see what is going on in Obama’s home state on the Republican front. The excitement for anything NOT Democrat that was reported at this meeting […]

 

Brit Hasn’t a Clue About U.S. Politics

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many elitist American leftists like to go about claiming that it is only Americans that are dunces on foreign matters. There is some truth to the accusation that Americans are not knowledgeable about the rest of the world but if a column in the UK Telegraph is any indication it isn’t much better for Britain’s […]

 

Poizner Signs Anti-Tax Pledge Despite History of Supporting Tax Hikes

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

SoCal radio wags John and Ken got California GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner to sign a no tax pledge this week. This is momentous news, indeed, since Poizner, the current State Insurance Commissioner and putative GOP frontrunner, has a long, long history of supporting massive property tax hikes that he has yet to directly disavow. […]

 

LATimes Finally Finds Graphics Like Commie Propaganda Art… And It’s Glenn Beck, NOT Obama

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After the last three years of President Obama’s graphics and poster art that evokes the style of graphics used in communist propaganda someone in the Old Media has finally discovered the similarity between today’s political graphics and communist styled propaganda art. And on top of that another we see another member of the Media calling […]

 

Obama’s Revival of the Republican Party

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

Upside of this administration: We all thought the GOP was dead. And slowly, they’re remembering what it means to be a Republican. Stacy Mott has said, and I’ve often quoted, that Obama is currently the leader of the conservative movement. Let’s face it, he’s done more to mobilize us than anyone else has. The numbers […]

Pat Toomey: How A Smart Conservative Appeals To Moderates

Posted on by John Hawkins

There is a difference between ideology and politics. It’s easy for talk radio hosts, bloggers, and columnists (including me) to talk about what needs to be done. Our audiences tend to be made up of like minded people and we don’t have to worry about moderates who barely know who the Vice-President is or which […]

 

Go Joe Wilson, Go Joe Wilson, Go Joe Wilson Go!

Posted on by John Hawkins

Last night, during his health care speech, after Barack Obama lied about Republicans, he moved on to lying about the coverage of illegal aliens: Some of people’s concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim, made not […]

 

Obama Talks Healthcare Tonight and it Doesn’t Matter

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama is going to offer “his” healthcare prescriptions tonight at a special joint session of Congress. But why is he doing this now? After all, the bills are already written and most of the committees have already passed their versions out of committee. What is it that Obama will say that will make any […]
