Our own Erick Erickson was interviewed by The Heritage Foundation (my employer) “In the Green Room.” Erickson was at Heritage to promote his new book Red State Uprising: How to Take Back America. He talked about the Tea Party movement, earmarks and the bi-partisan problem of out of control government spending with Rob Bluey, Heritage’s Director of the Center for Media and Public Policy. Watch then discuss. | Read More »
Promoted from the diaries by Caleb Diners at the RedState Gathering’s Saturday lunch (and it was a fine one) were treated to LaborUnionReport’s presentation on The Concord Project and a presentation on PROCINCT for those activists who intend to take a walk in the sunshine sometime before election day (or even after). It felt weird as hell clicking ‘Play’ before the audience on a video | Read More »
It’s no secret there’s a lot of discontent – if not downright anger – in the country right now. Concerned citizens are looking at our rapidly-expanding government and its attendant debt and wondering how on earth our children are going to be able to pay for all this. The sheer size of the juggernaut, however, can be daunting. How can one individual fight such a | Read More »
Here’s me on John King USA last night talking about this issue.
Someone has started a silly rumor that I will be challenging Michael Steele for RNC Chairman thanks, in part, to RedState’s tremendous win record so far this year in GOP primaries. Mixed into this rumor is the suggestion that I am somehow to be opposed because of my position on gun control. To clear this up and stop more reporters from calling me, let me | Read More »
For those of you who have not heard, my book is coming out in two months. Some of you have emailed to ask why my front page postings have been lighter than normal, both here and at Peach Pundit. Well, now you know — I’ve been writing, just not here. You can pre-order Red State Uprising: How to Take Back America right here via the | Read More »
Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) is the Republican key for the Obama Administration to pass New START Treaty this year. 67 Senators are needed to pass any treaty, therefore the support of Republicans is necessary to pass START. Republicans may want to stall passage of the treaty into the next Congress, because the New START Treaty may harm national security. The Obama Administration may have signed a side agreement | Read More »
Last week, WH Press Flack Robert Gibbs declared the House is lost and this week it was up to Vice President Joe Biden to bring a happy message to Democrats. Biden declared his opinion yesterday on This Week. “I don’t think the losses are going to be bad at all. I think we are going to shock the heck out of everybody.” AP reports: Vice President Joe | Read More »
President Obama laid an egg on national TV last night. The Boston Celtics followed with their own egg laying against the Lakers. Obama is in the process of losing his base, as evidenced by the scathing analysis by three Obama cheerleaders at MSDNC (via RCP) Keith Olbermann – “I thought it was a great speech if you lived on another planet for the past 57 days.” | Read More »
I keep saying that multiway races are volatile. When voters are spread out in more directions, the sums are smaller and it’s easier for big changes to happen. Suffolk University’s latest on the Nevada Senate primary for the Washington Times seems to be another example of this effect. Sue Lowden has gone from first to last, and Sharron Angle now leads.
It’s true. I’m only 35. As we do every year at this time, here are my birthday requests for today: (1) Call your congressman and complain about something. I don’t care what. They just need to hear from you. The number is 202-224-3121. (2) Give money to Pamela Gorman and Robin Smith. We need these ladies in Congress. (3) Do what you can to get | Read More »
Not too shabby. In his seven weeks as one of CNN’s newest contributors, Erick Erickson has made scarcely more than a dozen appearances on the network. But his every utterance – every Twitter message, blog post and radio rant – has been parsed with the rigor usually reserved for a Supreme Court nominee. Nice. As if you don’t already, follow Erick on Twitter here. Parse | Read More »
If you have been reading or writing blogs for some time, you may recall the early, heady days of the blogosphere back around 2002-03. Many of us old-school bloggers started back then (I started writing baseball on the web in May 2000, and political blogging in August 2002; RedState wouldn’t be founded until the summer of 2004). The blog world was a small town in | Read More »
The not so very bright readers of Kos want to send Martha Coakley and me to jail. Why us? Well, I published the list of union organized phone banks for Coakley on Friday night. Some genius who probably thinks Joe Stalin was just misunderstood now is convinced I must go to jail. WITH A POLL!!!! I assume s/he (that covers everything including transgendered I hope) | Read More »
