GOP strategy going forward
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | January 7th at 08:16 PM |
Only President Barack Obama can cause the U.S. to default on its sovereign debt, and congressional Republicans must make this fact clear to the American people before the current debt ceiling is reached. And only by owning the definition of “default” does the minority party in control of only one house of Congress have any chance of using the debt limit debate to rein in | Read More »
Examining the guts of Grand Ole Party tea [updated]
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | June 17th at 11:56 AM |
Must conservatives ask “how high” when MSM says jump, on GOPtea? No! Just because a tea partier-Republican and a pre-tea partier Republican disagree on an issue, doesn’t mean its time to eat our young or aged beef. If we diagnose gutlessness to every Republican congressman that dares disagree with privatization of Social Security, we won’t have enough guts left to defeat cloture motions, much less | Read More »
Boortz gives up Libertarian Party, learns to love the GOP
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | June 5th at 12:44 PM |
Boortz! Being a 20-year Rush Ditto-Head and talk radio junkie, I love Neil’s last name signal for a commercial break, much as I have enjoyed his legal and political insights since I arrived in ATL in June 2001. But it was always a great disappointment for me, a rabid right-wing conservative convert after 18 years a Democratic Party activist and official in South Carolina until | Read More »
Only Rush-like courage can defeat ObamaDem Left
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 20th at 01:12 PM |
The press has chosen to exercise their First Amendment freedom via cowardice and Drive-by hits against conservatives to protect their liberal, Democratic Party ideological allies. Big Business, including the NFL, and too many Republicans have also chosen the easy, cowardly path for too long as well, lest they become the focus of the PC-police. The result of the above is a morally obtuse culture mostly | Read More »
GOP must expose ObamaDem-o-bats to town hall health care light
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 8th at 02:19 PM |
ObamaDemCare tactics irrelevant to GOP’s essential strategy. Republicans must reject any bill that does not end state health insurance monopolies It appears that the light of day that coincided with the Congressional end of summer recess killed the public option. But other nocturnal liberal dangers live on in the darkness of the post-Autumnal equinox with Congress re-adjourned. In recent days we hear that Harry Reid | Read More »

We start on two fronts today. Originally published by Mike “gamecock” DeVine as Legal Editor for The Minority Report The first is the Eastern Front, or, more precisely, the Middle Eastern Front, where conclusive evidence of total victory by the Armed Forces of the United States emerged this week with the approval of a security agreement endorsed by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President | Read More »
Obama’s “pre-packaged” bankruptcy an early Christmas gift to GOP
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 22nd at 08:58 AM |
And Republicans they should do it quickly before the Democrats get in the frontseat. Originally published by Mike DeVine as legal editor for The Minority Report on its Live Wire: This is a brilliant idea, even if The One did think of it.

Even Democrats can’t win a Secular American majority
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 14th at 12:47 PM |
The reason: No “secular American majority” exists. The vast majority of Americans still believe in God. By Mike “gamecock” DeVine, Charlotte Law and Civil Rights Examiner for Examiner.com In his brilliant A Republican Party for a Secular America, David Sage correctly cites the 2008 rejection of the GOP “in its current form” by the American people at the ballot box, but then attributes that rejection | Read More »
Rush to Reaganism for Grand New Party Comeback
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | August 23rd at 12:33 PM |
By Mike DeVine, Legal Editor for The Minority Report and The HinzSight Report Originally published in Race42008.com Gamecock sees no inherent contradiction between Rush/Reagan conservatism and most of the themes and policy proposals presented in David Frum’s Comeback nor Ross Douthat and Reihan Salam’s Grand New Party, despite the hype of some columnists and the author’s themselves. Both books, but especially Frum’s, claim to be | Read More »
