Objecting to the Super Majority
Last night I told you about the exchange between Jim DeMint and the Senate President. Here is the video:

The Conservatives in the Races
Do you believe that conservatives can win general elections? Do you think that the GOP has the best chance since 1994 to make gains in the House and Senate this coming year? If you answered yes to both questions, let me ask you another one: why shouldn’t the GOP try to nominate viable conservatives in its primaries instead of just going with the candidate the | Read More »
The Poll Republican Establishment Types Would Prefer You Ignore
What are we told about conservatives by the Republican establishment? Let’s see: they need to be seen and not heard, they are hurting us with independents, their philosophy is outmoded, they stand for nothing but “no,” and if we move right the voters will reject us. What do we know from reality? As Republicans stood up to Obama, their polling among independents went up. Independents | Read More »
DNC Sends Out Oppo Research About Me to a Berkeley Grad Who Works for a Newspaper That Rooted for the Terrorists in Iraq
I was a bit annoyed that the reporter working the DNC hit job on me didn’t bother calling me first, but then I read the dude’s bio and just felt sorry for him — the guy’s got the career trajectory of an anvil tossed out of a hot air balloon. In any event, the Democratic National Committee sent out oppo research on me (!!!) to | Read More »
ZOMG! Pray?! No Way! Repent of This Nonsense You Christofascists.
Last night, 17,000 19,298 people joined Senator Jim DeMint and me on the telephone to talk about several Senate races. Talking Points Memo makes this the lead story this evening. And what is one of the key take aways? Yours truly asked activists to not just donate to candidates but . . . wait for it . . . to pray for candidates too. Scandalous. | Read More »
REDSTATE EXCLUSIVE: Jim DeMint on Why He Supports Doug Hoffman for Congress
Senator Jim DeMint just sent me the statement below on his support for Doug Hoffman. As one of the real leaders of the conservative movement in this country, DeMint speaks for many of us. I’m delighted he is, as he consistently does, putting principle over party in this case. Senator DeMint says: “Too often, we’re told that Republicans have to be like Democrats to be | Read More »
Read the Bill
Senator Bunning (R-KY) is offering legislation to require all bills be put on the internet for at least 72 hours in final form before being voted on in the Senate. The Senate Conservatives Fund, an organization near and dear to my heart (have you given them money?), has a petition on this that you should sign. From the petition: The town hall meetings in August | Read More »
Barbara Boxer & Lamar Alexander vs. Jim DeMint & Mitch McConnell
I’ve been meaning to give praise to Mitch McConnell since last week when he began voting against appropriations measures coming out of the Senate. This is a rare thing for McConnell, who normally sides with the appropriators. But he stood up and voted no last week, siding with the Senate conservatives. It was a bold move worthy of praise. Something has happened this week too. | Read More »
Left-Wing Organizing Astroturf Campaign to Disrupt Senator Jim DeMint’s Townhall
The media was all too quick to play up a memo written by some guy in Connecticut on how to show up at Democrat townhall meetings to disrupt them. Will the media do the same when the left does it. This left-wing blog is organizing a disruption of Senator Jim DeMint’s townhall meeting in Myrtle Beach on August 19th. The website contains an indication that | Read More »
Now that we’ve met in Atlanta, we must mobilize.
This weekend, 200 RedStaters gathered together in Atlanta to hear from real conservative leaders and candidates. We were specific in our invitations — we wanted conservatives, not just Republicans. The message was phenomenal. The time shared was outstanding. But now we have work to do. We cannot return to our former ways. We must commit to continuous activity on behalf of these outstanding men and | Read More »
An Amazing Time
As you can tell, we’ve been away and busy at the RedState Gathering. Liz Cheney spoke. She was amazing. “America needs a commander in chief,” she said, ” not a global community organizer.” Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley, Michael Williams, Ken Cuccinelli, Karen Handel, Tom Price, Pat Toomey, Roy Blunt, Jim DeMint, and Rick Perry all joined us in person or via video. It | Read More »
Obama at Waterloo
We have the power to stop Barack Obama on healthcare. We have the power to shut him down. Already, Democrats are recognizing the measure is coming apart at the seams. Nancy says she has the votes, but the markup of the bill in committee keeps getting cancelled. Tonight, Barack Obama goes on television to complain, beg, and cajole the American people to commit themselves to | Read More »
Blackballing Toomey and Hating DeMint
In what I can only believe is coordination with the Senate GOP Leadership because everyone is on the exact same talking point, I am more than a little disappointed with the wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from the Republican commentariat. The other day, Senator Jim DeMint told Arlen Specter that DeMint would be backing Toomey. Somehow he is to blame for Specter jumping to | Read More »

The GOP’s Senator Problem
The GOP really does have a Senator problem — a group of old kleptocrats who’ve been around for so long, they view themselves as entitled to power, prestige, and graft. One of the Senators who is not willing to get comfy is Senator Jim DeMint. It must gall the other members of the Senate Republican Caucus that Jim DeMint thinks they should stand for something. | Read More »
Lindsey Graham Throws Saxby Chambliss Under the Bus
Yesterday, Senator Jim DeMint issued a press release and letter declaring that 36 senators had pledged to support October 1, 2008, as “American Energy Freedom Day.” October 1, 2008, is the date the ban on oil exploration in the Outer Continental Shelf expires. The 36 senators, writing to Senators Reid and McConnell, wrote It is our hope that Democrats and Republicans will stand together to | Read More »
Bob Schaffer Gets Conservative Endorsement
Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservative Fund is endorsing Bob Schaffer in Colorado. That’s great news. Schaffer is a good conservative. During his three terms in Congress from 1997-2002, Schaffer earned a 99 percent Lifetime Rating with the American Conservative Union. His average National Taxpayers’ Union ranking was 13th in the entire House, and he received the fourth highest score on two separate occasions. The Democrats thought | Read More »
