Young Guns: Cantor’s PAC of Loose Cannons
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | July 10th at 03:16 PM |
One of the most perplexing organizations on the political scene this election cycle is the Young Guns Action Fund, started by two former aids to Eric Cantor. It was started last fall in an effort to support “conservative candidates for elected office who hold true to the Young Guns movement.” One would expect a PAC affiliated with the House Majority Leader to get involved in | Read More »

The Ultimate Treachery
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 28th at 10:47 PM |
I’m at a loss for words; I’m really not sure what to think of this. What word would you use to describe someone from party A asking members of party B to vote down a member of party A for supporting a fundamental view of party A? Politico’s Maggie Haberman is reporting that the leadership-affiliated Young Guns Network has sent out mailers asking Democrats to | Read More »
Eric Cantor Tries to Stop Stalwart Scott Keadle in NC-8
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 27th at 10:40 AM |
This has been a tough week for conservatives in Washington. Republicans in both houses are caving on the postal bailout, highway bill, appropriations, Ex-Im Bank, Violence Against Women Act, and the student loan bailout. It’s not going to get easier when they come back from recess in May. This is why we need game-changers like Scott Keadle in Congress. Keadle is running in NC-8, the | Read More »
Support Jeff Denham in California’s 19th Congressional District
By: Rep. Kevin McCarthy (Diary) | September 17th at 02:50 PM |
The Young Guns book tour has been going very well in helping to promote our movement to bring new common-sense conservative leaders to Congress. For instance, Reps. Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and I were on Sean Hannity’s show and on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. We also stopped by the offices of National Review, and had a very good discussion with Rich Lowry. Let me also note | Read More »
Tech at Night, er, Morning: Banning books, Net Neutrality, Free Press, NPR
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | September 7th at 07:59 AM |
Yes, I’m sorry. When I found out yesterday morning that it was Labor Day, I did shift gears and relax a bit. By the evening I was treating it like a weekend and forgot all about Monday’s Tech at Night. So we’re making it a Tuesday morning Tech in the Morning instead. Let’s get started with what happens when you let government regulate: they begin | Read More »

Democrats argue it is fine to ban book promotion
By: Soren Dayton (Diary) | September 4th at 09:33 AM |
The “Young Guns” have a book. They also have a promotion tour and a video. Now, the Democrats could engage in a battle of ideas. But that’s not what they do. (are you surprised?) Instead the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee files a complaint with the Federal Election Commission that promoting the book violates election law. Really. By their interpretation, a book publisher cannot promote a | Read More »
