The first time you say it, the tendency is to laugh, and say, no way, couldn’t happen, they wouldn’t dare. After the second or third time the mind begins to come to grips with the possibility that they just might try it. Conservatives have long known that for the left, our deeply held conviction that the US must, above everything else, be a nation of | Read More »
I know that Sen DeMint often posts on Red State, so one can assume that his staff regularly peruses this site, so consider this one man’s wish that the good senator sees this, and hopefully gets the message. Tonight, as is my usual habit, I’m watching “Special Report”. and the opening segment is about the impact of the Wisconsin recall results on the national election picture. They’re | Read More »
Yes, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics, but this is just too, too good. Coincidence? Heh..you be the judge Walker’s margin of victory over Barrett in 2010: 125,00 Walker’s margin of victory over Barrett in 2012: 172,000 INCREASE in Walker’s margin of victory: +47,000 ******************************************************* DECLINE in Wisconsin AFSCME membership since Walker’s reforms were passed: 35,000 DECLINE in WEAC ( Wisconsin teacher’s union membership since Walker’s reforms passed: | Read More »
Baseball fans can be divided into two groups, Yankees fans, and the rest fof us, (especially we Red Sox fans) who detest the Yankees and their fans. For the benefit of those who may not be baseball fans,( or have perhaps forgotten the details) a brief explanation is warranted. After enjoying a near decade of unparalleled success, winning the World Series in 1996, 1998, 1999, | Read More »
It is all but a given that the GOP will take control of the Senate this November. I’m in no way suggesting that we be complacent, rather we must redouble our efforts to elect true conservatives who will begin to restore sanity to our government. But it is a worthwhile exercise to begin to contemplate the make-up of the next GOP Senate caucus, and what | Read More »
Truth be told, most Arkansans are probably more concerned with who will coach the Razorbacks football team after this season than who will be next senator and governor. But for political junkies, 2014 is looking very interesting. This week, Tom Cotton, a solid conservative, won the GOP primary, and should easily win the 4CD race this November. Arkansas will thus have an all GOP congression | Read More »
There are many who have said that Earl Tomblin, the Dem governor of WV, isn’t the brightest bulb in the room. However, the man can count, f’sure. Today’s announcement that he won’t endorse Obama for re-election ( will he endorse Mitt) should come as no surprise. Obama has all but declared open warfare on the WV economy, as has been discussed at RS often. McCain | Read More »
This will not be the usual Red State diary, in that I have an idea to advance, a cause to promote, and/or an ax to grind. Rather, I am really, REALLY confused, and hope that others might have some idea of JUST WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? Mitt’s all but the nominee, though still distrusted by most conservatives, and according to most polls, is favored | Read More »
Mitt Romney has all but wrapped up the GOP nomination. He can take some comfort from recent polls that show him leading Obama. However, he should be rather disconcerted by the polls that show that he is the preferred candidate of only 40% or so of GOP voters. He has a long way to go to begin to win back their trust and confidence. Mitt | Read More »
As Ozzie Guillen’s public self-hoisting-on-his-own-petard continue too farfetched to surmise that the whole matter may have far reaching, and very unintended consquences: to wit, just about making sure that Mitt wins the White House this November. After his election in 2008, Obama’s coronation in 2012 was being promoted in the MSM as inevitable..heck, we might as well cancel the election and use the money saved to reduce | Read More »
