In the four months since Chris Christie was sworn in as the 55th Governor of the state of New Jersey, he’s earned himself a few nicknames and prayers for his death. “Governor Krispy Kreme” or Governor Bully by his Leftist detractors on most NJ websites where they congregate. A liberal Newark Star-Ledger columnist prefers the double-entendre of Governor Wrecking Ball. Admirers, including George Will, have | Read More »
Former Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY) may not have been a conservative’s idea of an ideal Senator from a state as Deep Red as Wyoming but he was right; “An allegation unchallenged is an allegation believed.” Republicans still seem to not get this very simple idea; you cannot cede the information battlefield to the other side and expect to keep a lead, much less win. Which | Read More »
As in Senator Conrad Burns (MT) and Senator Ted Stevens (AK). Both of whom lost their most recent re-election battles in solid Red states exactly because of the Pharisee attitudes on display here by far too many people. So many of us were so concerned with appearing beyond reproach that we completely abandoned the concept of innocent until proven guilty the instant they were fingered | Read More »
My belief is that Crist is going to leave the GOP and go Independent on his way to switching to the Democrats in the next four years, perhaps to try and run again for Governor. Which means he’s going to drop out of the race for the Senate and concentrate his attention on making sure Rubio loses. The fact is that, thanks to his SB6 | Read More »
If Democrats really want the so-called “Death Threats” and “attacks” on their offices to end, they should simply pick up the phone and call Tim Kaine. Kevin Jackson just leaped to the top of my list of favorite people with this beautiful performance he delivered as he faced off against David Shuster on MSNBC. While David Frum and other PCCs (“Polite Company Conservatives”) would have | Read More »
As everyone knows, liberals are far from fans of accountability, responsibility, etc. or any other concept that suggests being held to account for their words and actions. A few days ago, Thomas Frank (of “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” fame) writing in his WSJ Tilting Yard column was obviously in a state of high dudgeon at the Texas State Board of Education’s stipulation that High | Read More »
According to the Left-Wing McClatchy Newspaper “reporter” William Douglas in an article on Saturday; Tea Partiers repeatedly screamed the N-word at John Lewis (D-GA) as he crossed over to the Capitol on his way to vote for Obamacare. Tea party protesters use racial epithet against Georgia’s John Lewis By William Douglas, McClatchy Newspapers Sat Mar 20, 7:21 pm ET WASHINGTON — Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol , angry over | Read More »
I read this Dana Milbank column over the weekend – don’t blame me, blame RCP. Basically it is a rehash of that hoary old bit of Beltway conventional wisdom, and no doubt the supposedly “Republican” Davids Gergen, Brooks and Frum would gladly repeat it for you at the cocktails celebrating the Democrats’ (temporary) victory in attempting to bring 1/6th of the nation’s economy under the | Read More »
The effort by ten Conservative members of the Republican National Committee (led by Jim Bopp Jnr. of Indiana) to introduce a resolution at the RNC’s Winter Meeting this month that would have forced all Republican candidates for Federal office to sign off on at least eight (or seven) out of the ten issue positions in the resolution or face having the RNC withhold its funds | Read More »
[H/T: Michelle via Ace ] So Jon Stewart invited John Yoo – who is promoting his new book; Crisis and Command – to the Daily Show and proceeded, using his own inimitable mix of smirking, mockery, sarcasm and outrage, to "take down" the torture-justifying fascist and show him for the thoroughly evil henchman of the Bush Regime he was, leaving him a sputtering sweating wreck | Read More »
Undoubtedly, yesterday was a good day. But that said, let’s not let that go to our heads and make us complacent. There’s a lot of hard work to be done – NOTE: from now until 01/19, every day is Scott Brown day: donate and volunteer – and we need to realize that there are still ten whole months left before November 2. A lot of | Read More »

Since I wrote my post outlining the Committeeman Project – way back in May – I have to admit that I basically abandoned the subject in all but name. Thankfully, ColdWarrior was more than kind enough to not just pick up the slack, but to lead by example and continue beating the drum both online and offline. Recent events, and I’m including the events that | Read More »
As Ann Coulter has noted, the Media has three standard ready-made templates for public consumption when it comes to Republicans, particularly Republicans it views as a threat to their Left-Wing compatriots’ in politics on the national stage; a Republican is either [1] dumb/stupid, [2] evil/corrupt or [3] “out of touch”. Reagan, Bush 43 and Dan Quayle were neatly pigeon-holed into category 1, while Bush 41, | Read More »
Anyone here remember GOPProgress? Supposedly the “moderate” and “progressive” Republicans’ answer to RedState, it’s proprietress was Liz Mair, formerly the Republican National Committee’s Online Communications Director and now one of the contributors at the sarahphobic FrumForum. I believe she was the only person on RedState who was excited about Lincoln Chafee, who according to her and the folks who frequented her site was the sort | Read More »
Today, Dana Milbank has an article up on the Washington Post’s Washington Sketch blog where he basically skewers a number of Senate Republicans for employing the filibuster against President Obama’s Lefty fringe judicial picks. The story goes something like this; given the GOP’s attempt (the so-called “Nuclear Option”) to end the filibuster for Presidential nominations during the leadership of the hapless Frist, certain GOP Senators, | Read More »
Election Night 2004 saw Republican Dino Rossi emerge victorious in the Washington State gubernatorial election against Democrat Christine Gregoire. Yet when the time came to take the oath of office, Christine Gregoire stood at the podium with her right hand up. Four years later, Election Night 2008 and it was Republican Norm Coleman with the highest number of votes against Al Franken in the race | Read More »
