Over the past 20 months, you have heard from me and my colleagues in the House about the importance of this election cycle. Today I am writing with a clear and immediate message we cannot afford to ignore: 39 Days…that’s all the time left for you to make a difference this election cycle. I cannot stress this point enough: we are in the final stretch. | Read More »
I want Republicans to win. But not just for the sake of it. It is not enough simply to get power. Republicans must demonstrate that they actually understand why they were sent home in 2006 and 2008, and that they are 100% committed to changing the direction of Washington now that America seems poised to give them another chance. Fail to do that and the | Read More »
The House Republicans’ “Pledge to America” is out. A thrill will run up the leg of a few Chris Matthews’ types on the right. As Dan noted on Twitter, the Contract with America was 869 words and this is 21 pages. The Contract told you everything you needed to know about how a Republican Congress would be different from a Democrat Congress after 40 years | Read More »
The House Republicans are set to unveil the Contract with America Part II, which we already know based on history will be more an illusion than substance. We also know, based on early word about what is in there, that it will be an unmitigated spectacle of wasted opportunity. There will be good points we will all love. But what will be missing will make | Read More »
The New York Republican Party is in disastrous shape under the clubby leadership of Ed Cox. In a competitive year for Republicans, no strong challengers have come out of New York and the state GOP continues to lag. Want to know why? Our own Dan McLaughlin has an op-ed in the New York Post today that is well worth reading.
It has begun. Republican Senate aides who desperately want the majority back so they can add an extra zero to their eventual K-Street salary package once they stop prostituting themselves to lobbyists and instead become lobbyists prostituting themselves to squishy Republicans are attacking Jim DeMint. In addition to their own self-interest, you can be sure they are expressing their bosses’ frustrations. Now, you and I | Read More »
It is a delightful morning. The National Republican Senatorial Committee and the GOP Establishment, including Karl Rove in full on meltdown last night on Fox News, has been beaten yet again in Delaware by the supposedly crazy girl from the fringe who could not possibly take out the 12 time elected Republican Mike Castle. Christine O’Donnell was crazy . . . crazy like a fox. | Read More »
“For those who think getting a Republican majority back in the Senate is the solution to our problems, you miss the naked reality that we had a sizable majority and it was liberal[s] … like Castle, and the supposed conservatives who empowered them, who drove the Party and the nation into a ditch, handing the reins to nutjob leftists in the process.” Much has been | Read More »
The Iraq War did not just fade away. It ended with a qualitative result: a spectacular victory for America in the face of long odds and complete vindication for the leaders who decided to stick it out instead of tuck tail and run when Democrats wanted to. Americans have largely forgotten about Iraq and have long since tired of hearing about it. That is in large part | Read More »
A headline at CNN back on August 13th proclaimed “Democrats to use Social Security against GOP this fall”. There is just one problem. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that it is Barack Obama’s own debt commission that intends to destroy social security as we know it. In addition to raising the retirement age, which is now set to reach age 67 in 2027, specific | Read More »
UPDATE: I’ve looked at more numbers. Consider this: the percentage of people who think 9/11 was an inside job is equal to the percentage of people who think the Ground Zero mosque is a good idea. —– “Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a man whose first reaction to the Time Square bombing plot was to blame people upset about Obamacare passing, has ceded being the face of | Read More »
The Wall Street Journal is reporting this morning, “Congress’s hot August recess has begun with rhetoric to match, with Democrats pummeling Republicans for wanting to trim Social Security, and Republicans hammering Democrats for favoring tax increases.” Likewise, CNN notes, “Democrats pledged Friday to not only keep Social Security in place, but use the historic program against Republicans ahead of the midterm election.” Moderate Republicans in | Read More »
During a school trip to Washington a group of students were ordered by a park service security guard standing watch over the Lincoln Memorial to stop singing the national anthem. And word came late last night that Republicans have a serious shot at something once thought impossible — taking back the United States Senate. It took the GOP 40 years to take back Congress and | Read More »
Convinced beyond reason and data that the American people find delicious the sandwich of socialism being force fed down their throats, the left does not understand what is happening in this country and what is coming. In fact, the media does not understand what is happening either. Largely socializing with the same elites and liberals who are fomenting unrest in the country, the media is | Read More »
If you don’t believe that, then you are simply ignoring reality and you are part of the problem. Elena Kagan is an avowed leftist who, while Dean of the Harvard Law School, refused to extend to the U.S. Military the kind of recruiting facilities offered to others in direct contradiction of the federal law – all because she disagreed with the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t | Read More »
