Obama’s scandal atmosphere and 2014 Democratic recruitment efforts.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  May 19th at 10:15 AM  | 

I’m not sure that Stu Rothenberg is correct, here: …it isn’t clear how much of an impact, if any, the controversies will have on the 2014 midterms. Even if (when) those controversies fade, however, there could be short-term consequences for both the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in the area of recruitment. Largely because it doesn’t look like either organization | Read More »

Don’t Make it About Barack Obama

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  May 16th at 11:07 AM  | 

I have to agree with Ben Domenech from the Transom this morning. Republicans will lose if they try to make the IRS scandal about Barack Obama. We are not going to convince a majority of Americans who voted for him that they were wrong. We spent the last four years trying that. As Domenech noted this morning: Here’s the hard thing Republicans have to do | Read More »

This is a Scandal We Must Not Let Slide

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  May 12th at 11:48 AM  | 

Welcome to 1984.  The government that is supposed to govern by the consent of the people is now attacking those who seek to preserve the Constitution.  Even as a number of non-profit organizations that aid and abet illegal aliens or Islamic terrorists are able to operate without any fear of investigation, we now know that tea party patriot organizations have been singled out for audits | Read More »

Fast and Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and its Shameless Cover-Up

By: Jeff Emanuel (Diary)  |  May 11th at 06:01 AM  | 

IMAGINE A GOVERNMENT agency designed for the specific purpose of investigating and preventing the unlawful use, manufacture, and possession of firearms. Now imagine this agency engaging in an operation that not only goes against that purpose, but actually seeks to accomplish the opposite, by actively encouraging the sale of firearms to people whose ties to organized crime and gun violence are well known– and that | Read More »

White House Memo Makes Offer-gate into a Scandal

By: Mark Impomeni (Diary)  |  June 3rd at 10:30 AM  | 

“There is a cancer on the presidency. It has been growing daily for the past three months. It’s compounding, it grows geometrically now because it compounds itself. And there is no assurance that it won’t bust.” Former White House Counsel John Dean spoke those words to President Richard Nixon almost 40 years ago as the Nixon White House was desperately trying to cover its role | Read More »

Does the White House WANT us to keep talking about Sestak?

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  June 2nd at 02:31 PM  | 

Because they keep bringing it to the forefront.  Let me set the scene for this: it turns out that the job offer that Bill Clinton had supposedly offered Joe Sestak was in fact a job offer that Sestak could not take and still keep his House seat.  This is important, because Sestak being able to keep his House seat is kind of critical for somebody | Read More »
