What happened in NY-23?

November 5, 2009

You can just call it the attack of a scumbag RINO. I dislike RINO’s even more than Democrats, and Michelle Malkin explains why:
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. [...]

Yesterday’s election results were about Obama

November 4, 2009

This is both typical and funny. The White House claims that yesterday’s losses weren’t about Obama. Yes, Mr. President, they absolutely were about you and your party, which is trying its best to drain the wealth and the individual liberty right out of our lifeblood. You campaigned for these candidates. And they lost.
The White House says that [...]

President Obama has no coattails

November 4, 2009

Republicans won governor’s races in both Virginia and New Jersey in yesterday’s elections. The New Jersey race was especially shocking, given that it’s about as blue a state as you’ll find. Both these states went for Obama just 1 year ago. Both Democrat candidates were closely tied to President Obama. Both of them lost.
You can [...]

If only all liberal Republicans would do the same

October 31, 2009

The hotly contested race for NY-23 pits a Democrat, a liberal Republican, and a conservative against each other, with polls showing each candidate drawing roughly the same piece of the vote.
Today, the liberal Republican, Dierdre Scozzafava, stepped aside, clearing the way for Doug Hoffman, who is the one conservative in the race.
“It is increasingly clear [...]

The left fears Sarah Palin

October 29, 2009

As Rush Limbaugh says, the left will tell us who our best candidate is. The media love John McCain because he makes for a poor candidate, as evidenced by last year’s election results. The left hates Rush Limbaugh because he gets results, which is the same reason they despise Richard Cheney.
But the left reserves perhaps is [...]

The era of post-partisanship

October 24, 2009

Didn’t Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama say something about an end to partisanship if he were elected president? Oh, wait. Since Obama means the opposite of what he says, he really meant there would be more of it. If that’s the case, then he was dead-on.
The House of Representatives, ever the rowdier and more populist [...]

Whatever happened to the hope?

October 23, 2009

The Obamessiah has just experienced the worst drop in poll numbers in half-a-century for a president at this stage.
To quote the Maha Rushie, “How’s that hope workin’ out for ya?”

Our present lack of civility, part two

October 13, 2009

The next time you hear the Democrats/media point their fingers at conservatives and say we’re being racist or uncivil for criticizing the Obamessiah, remember the things the left said about President Bush.

%$#@!

October 12, 2009

And they say the GOP has a civility problem.
President Barack Obama called rap star Kanye West “a jackass.” Vice President Joe Biden told a senator to “Gimme a f—-ing break!” Economic adviser Christina Romer declared that Americans had yet to have their “holy s—-” moment over the economy.
Those who pay attention to political rhetoric say [...]

The Obama presidency continues to crumble

October 3, 2009

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. We were supposed to have hope and change, healing souls, and falling sea levels. Instead, according to energy czar Carol Browner, Obama’s cap-and-tax legislation will not fly this year. Don’t get me wrong. This is a good thing, bad for the Obama presidency, but good for the United [...]

Dr. No

September 23, 2009

Congressman Eric Cantor doesn’t know how on-target his description of Speaker of State Nancy Pelosi is – that she’s living in another world. She does live in another world: San Francisco.
The House GOP’s No. 2 man — labeled “Dr. No” by Democrats for opposing the stimulus package and other Obama initiatives — expressed frustration with Pelosi’s [...]

They got the wrong guy

September 17, 2009

The House of Representatives has punished a man for telling the truth, passing a Resolution of Disapproval against Congressman Joe Wilson, who had the courage to stand up to the President of the United States during a televised speech. The one who was lying gets to play the victim, while the one who told the truth [...]

Turning morality on its ear

September 14, 2009

Democratic leaders may formally admonish Congressman Joe Wilson for telling the truth about ObamaCare last week during President Obama’s speech to Congress. To refresh your memories, while President Obama assured Congress and the American people that ObamaCare would not cover illegal immigrants, Congressman Joe Wilson shouted out “You lie!”
All he did was tell the truth. And [...]

What’s good for the goose

September 10, 2009

My unpaid research assistant has sent along an interesting news story. I’ve been wondering how Democrats would have reacted had President Bush given a speech to our nation’s school children as President Obama did on Tuesday. Now we know.
Much has been made about the criticism surrounding President Obama’s Tuesday speech to the nation’s schoolchildren.
But when [...]

Smeared by his own radicalism

September 6, 2009

Former “Green Czar” Van Jones has resigned his post in the wake of the revelation that he believes the Bush administration was in on the 9/11 attacks. He alleges a “vicious smear campaign” against him, but, in reality, the only thing working against him was his own radicalism.
Van Jones “understood that he was going to [...]

From the pitcher’s mound to the U.S. Senate?

September 2, 2009

Former Philadelphia Philles’ starting pitcher Curt Schilling says he’s interested in becoming the next senator from the People’s Republic of Massachusetts. If elected, he would join former Philadelphia Philliles’ starting pitcher Jim Bunning, a Republican senator from Kentucky.

Palin in demand

September 1, 2009

Resigning as governor of Alaska may turn out to be the most lucrative thing Sarah Palin could have done. She’s in heavy demand as a speaker, and her paid speeches may fetch $100,000 apiece. Even if she only did one speech a week, that would be $5.2 million a year. That’ll infuriate the left and the media, [...]

All wee-weed up

September 1, 2009

The Bamster’s approval rating now stands at 45%. Just wait ’til he starts lowering the sea levels. That’ll get his numbers back up. Just you wait.

Things are not all rosy in Camelot

August 31, 2009

Public opinion of President Barack Hussein Kennedy continues to slip. His approval rating is only 46% now, and he’s only been on the job for 7 months. That’s scary. It means we still have 3 years and 5 months of having to daily fight to maintain our individual liberties.

If only we could maintain this sentiment until Election Day

August 31, 2009

With respect to Congress, most Americans would throw the bums out. All of them. Of course, come Election Day, you can bet the farm that 85-90% of incumbents will end up winning. They always do. And that’s the problem.
