Kermit Gosnell: Feminists Deny Abortion Doctor Cover Up and Blame Conservatives

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  April 14th at 11:48 PM  | 

As the Kermit Gosnell case proceeds, the grand jury report was released this week detailing the abortion doctor’s house of horrors. Yet, as conservatives slam media outlets for their lack of coverage, the left reacted by saying that they had reported on Gosnell since his arrest in 2011, and how the pro-life movement is somehow responsible for the “underground” operation he set up in Philadelphia. While it’s great | Read More »

Kentucky Progress: Did the Left Put A “Hit” On Senator McConnell

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  April 11th at 07:43 PM  | 

We know now that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s recent campaign strategy meeting regarding Ashley Judd was recorded by Progress Kentucky, who admitted to making the tape, and that it was done outside in an adjacent hallway. David Corn, who broke the story, has no comment. Local Kentucky Democrat, Jacob Conway, said he outed the group to “protect the Democratic Party.” Regardless, it still doesn’t negate the fact this recording was | Read More »

Equal Pay Day 2013: Democrats’ Hypocrisy on Full Display

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  April 11th at 10:31 AM  | 

As America observed Equal Pay Day on Tuesday, Democratic politicians hypocritically used this day for political gain and shameless politicking. Let me be clear: I’m in favor of equal pay; women should be paid at the same rate and be afforded the same opportunities as men. This isn’t not a partisan issue. I have both a sister and sister-in-law that masterfully balance their professional careers | Read More »

Do Democrats Think They’re Immune for Obamacare’s Fallout in 2014?

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  April 5th at 02:03 PM  | 

Matt Canter, the Deputy Executive Director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, is fired up about Obamacare, and how it might be innocuous to Senate Democrats in 2014.  Yet, could this be a sign of the hubris that sunk Republicans in 2006, 2008, 2012? After all, prior to the 2006 slaughter, the GOP was ahead of Democrats concerning targeting voters and digital strategy.  Remember Voter | Read More »

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  March 28th at 09:36 AM  | 

Let’s take a stroll down memory lane.  It’s 2009, and Elena Kagan is answering questions during her confirmation hearing for the position of Solicitor General within the Obama administration. According to William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection, who posted this piece on March 25, this is what she had to say about gay marriage: 1. As Solicitor General, you would be charged with defending the Defense of Marriage Act. | Read More »

Finally! Radical Caitlin Halligan Withdraws Nomination To D.C. Court Of Appeals

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  March 23rd at 01:17 PM  | 

Well, it took three years, but Caitlin Halligan will not be a sitting on the D.C. Court of Appeals.  She’s known for her progressive political views and judicial activism, which were so far outside the mainstream that other courts rejected her legal arguments.  Ed Whelan at the National Review has documented her radical judicial philosophy. In 2004, Halligan signed a report issued by the Association of | Read More »

Sen. Feinstein’s Assault Weapons Ban Amendment is DOA

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  March 19th at 05:29 PM  | 

Well, any conservative could have seen this coming, despite the incessant rambling of anti-gun zealots calling for a ban on so-called assault weapons.  The first ban had a de minimis effect on lowering violent crime, and Democrats paid a heavy political price during the ’94 midterms for it.  Now, the Washington Post’s Ed O’Keefe reports today that this anti-gun provision is dead on arrival. Furthermore, it’s not included in the | Read More »

CPAC: Folks, Mitt Romney Lost

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  March 15th at 03:01 PM  | 

Mitt Romney addressed CPAC this afternoon, and I did support his candidacy.  After all, he was the only person in our miserable 2012 crop of candidates that had the best chance of winning.  However, his communications team was mostly on defense, his high-tech GOTV ORCA program crashed rendering 30,000 volunteers helpless on Election Day, and his candidacy prohibited conservatives from talking about health care.  As | Read More »

Sen. Graham Backs Radical Obama Judicial Appointment

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  March 4th at 06:14 PM  | 

Caitlin Halligan, general counsel for Manhattan’s district attorney’s office, was nominated in 2010 to fill a vacancy on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and has been re-nominated four times since then. A cloture vote to move forward with her nomination failed 54-45 in 2011. The presidential judicial appointments – by custom – should be taken under consideration by the Senate, but not this one.  For | Read More »

Evisceration Memo Prompts Republicans To Demand Investigation Of Blueprint NC

By: Matt Vespa (Diary)  |  February 26th at 01:16 PM  | 

Yesterday, North Carolina Republicans called for an investigation of the progressive 501 (c) (3) group Blueprint NC, whichdrafted a memo calling for the evisceration of the party’s leadership.  It was leaked to the press last Thursday, and Blueprint has since disavowed the memo.  They’ve also claimed to be a “nonpartisan” group, but their list of partners – and Blueprint’s origins – are very much grounded in the left-wing of American politics.
