. . . When?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 10th at 04:47 AM |
Yesterday I asked if not now, when do we get to hold Republicans accountable. It is mind numbingly infuriating to get some of the bellyaching from people that, in effect, we never can. I disagree. I know most of you do too. Right now, here are six congress critters we can annihilate in Republican primaries. The alternative candidates to them are far more conservative. If | Read More »

Newsflash – Texas State Senators “Decide” to Support Dewhurst over Cruz
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 9th at 05:29 PM |
For a guy who says he will go to Washington as a “conservative” and fight against the establishment, it sure is curious to see Texas Lt. Governor David Dewhurst lining up the Texas establishment to defend him in his race for U.S. Senate against the actual conservative, Ted Cruz. Dewhurst has the support of very few people outside of Austin. Think about it. His most | Read More »
Ken Cuccinelli Will Be at the RedState Gathering
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 9th at 11:11 AM |
Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia’s Attorney General and a hero to so many of us for his conservative convictions and race to the courthouse the moment Obamacare was signed to file suit against it, is going to join us at the RedState Gathering. Yep. You won’t want to miss him. Time is running out to register. Heck, time is running out to get a discount on the | Read More »
Dear Governors, Rick Perry Joins Governors Scott, Jindal, and Haley Showing You The Way
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 9th at 10:26 AM |
Rick Perry is joining Governors Nikki Haley, Rick Scott, and Bobby Jindal in leading the way for other governors in the United States, some of whom — even Republicans, are starting to get cold feet on the issue of exchanges and medicaid. Rick Perry is drawing a line in the sand and giving Washington a “hell no.” Under Governor Perry, Texas will not create state | Read More »
If Not Now . . .
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 9th at 04:46 AM |
“At what point do we hold our side accountable? Contrary to what some of you want to think, it was not the Democrats who got us to $16 trillion in national debt. It was bipartisan.” Despite making clear that I was not advocating a third party, but rather recognizing that one will spring up if the Republican leadership does not pay attention to the state | Read More »

John Mica Votes to Put Women Out of Work
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 7th at 05:00 PM |
John Mica and Sandy Adams are battling each other in the redrawn 7th Congressional District of Florida. The choice could not be clearer based on this vote. It’s the highway transportation bill. Mica voted for it. Sandy Adams voted against it. Contained within the legislation, which Mica helped sherpa through the House by the way as Chairman of the Transportation Committee, was a provision shutting | Read More »
Maybe We Really Do Need a Third Party
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 7th at 12:48 PM |
“The problem for the GOP is that it is in danger of fracturing, not because it has moved so far right, but because it refuses to actually practice what it preaches.” Senator Max Baucus of Montana receives campaign donations from the parent company of Phillip Morris. Senator Baucus then puts a provision in the highway transportation bill banning roll your own cigarette operations, a business | Read More »
Convicted Terrorist to Protest Mitt Romney
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 6th at 07:00 PM |
A convicted terrorist is leading liberal groups to protest Mitt Romney and the Kochs. That’s right, there’s a fundraiser for Mitt Romney that the Kochs are in. So the liberals are rallying. They’re rallying with a convicted terrorist, Andy Stepanian, His claim to fame is being characterized as succeeding “where Karl Marx, the Baader-Meinhof gang and the Red Brigades failed.” He’s quite proud of it. | Read More »
Martha Zoller for Congress
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 6th at 10:15 AM |
In my list of candidates the other day, I forgot to add Martha Zoller from Georgia. That was a real oversight on my part. Folks, a lot of you know Martha because, like you, she’s been at many tea party events around the country. She’s spoken at Right Online. She’s spoken at FreedomWorks events. Down in Georgia she is fighting in a tough primary in | Read More »
My Concerns With Eric Hovde
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 6th at 04:47 AM |
Yesterday I noted that in Wisconsin there is a fight for the heart and soul of the right between Mark Neumann and Eric Hovde. Either would be preferable to Tommy Thompson. My preference is Mark Neumann who is the embodiment of the conservative warrior. Many conservatives in Wisconsin, however, are gravitating to Eric Hovde. He is rich and willing to spend what it takes to | Read More »
I Support Joe Walsh. You Should Too.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 6th at 04:46 AM |
I support Congressman Joe Walsh a thousand percent and you should too. Pony up your checkbooks while you are at it. He’s in the midst of a manufactured scandal because he dared utter an inconvenient truth. His opponent is the leftwing darling Tammy Duckworth. As CNN notes, “A Black Hawk helicopter pilot in Iraq, Duckworth lost both legs and the use of one arm when | Read More »

Transportation Secretary Praises Murderous Communists as “More Successful”
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 5th at 05:37 PM |
Obama Administration Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood has come out in favor of the Chicoms over Americans claiming that in China “only three people make the decision. In our country, 3,000 people do.” Hannah Sternberg of Regnery gives a great example of that Chinese 3 man success. Likewise, the famed high spec rail system in China has come under investigation for corruption, is not making money, | Read More »
Monica Crowley’s What the Bleep Just Happened
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 5th at 07:46 AM |
This is one of those posts I intended to write a couple of weeks ago. Then the Supreme Court decision happened. Then my wife got sick. Then I started traveling. Then we had a holiday. So finally, at long last, I get to tell you about my latest book excursion. Monica Crowley has a new book out called What the Bleep Just Happened?: The Happy | Read More »
Freedom’s Slate
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 5th at 04:46 AM |
On this Independence Day, it is time to focus on improving the crop of Republican congressmen by examining some of the remaining Republican primaries. Want the GOP to stand up to Barack Obama? Tired of the GOP cutting deals? Want to make sure the GOP doesn’t back out of full and complete repeal of Obamacare if they sweep in November? Then you absolutely must support | Read More »
