What’s Going on with Obama and the Military?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | June 2nd at 11:13 AM |
There is a real internal fight shaping up that I suspect is going to fester into a significant wound to Barack Obama’s Presidency. The Joint Chiefs of Staff are in open and public rebellion against the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs over Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Most troubling, the Obama administration neither consulted nor advices the Chiefs before rushing off the congress with the proposal | Read More »
BREAKING: Jim Greer Arrested

CNN is reporting that the former Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, Jim Greeer, has been arrested. Greer was Charlie Crist’s hand picked chairman of the Florida GOP and together they collaborated on destroying Marco Rubio. Part of their plan involved leaking out the credit card scandal and targeting it toward Marco Rubio. Well, it just blew up in their faces.

The Great Divorce
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | June 2nd at 08:28 AM |
People on the right often look at corporations and this administration and see an administration hostile to the free market. Therefore, we defend the corporations.

From Rahm Emanuel to Barack Obama’s own campaign coffers | Read More »

Washington Bleeding in Alabama
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | June 1st at 11:26 PM |
Tonight in Alabama the Democrats were crushed. Democrats crushed even Democrats. Popular congressman Artur Davis, running for Governor of Alabama, was crushed with an anti-Washington message. Parker Griffith, the Democrat turned Republican was likewise crushed by challenger Mo Brooks who pounded on Griffith for being a Washington opportunist. It’s easy for us to say this is a Democrat bloodbath, but the truth of the matter | Read More »

By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | June 1st at 03:56 PM |
As June 8th approaches and the California primary looms large, conservatives nationwide will no doubt be watching and rooting for conservative Senate candidate Chuck DeVore to pull out a win for the chance to take down Barbara Boxer.

My Goodness
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | May 28th at 06:16 PM |
I can’t say that I am surprised by the level of aggravation and acrimony in the comments of my “Letting the Chips Fall” post. I certainly promised more than I delivered. You should have seen the first six drafts. They were much better. For the few cheery souls remaining, I appreciate that you got the point — it’s exactly what Will Folks has been doing, | Read More »
Letting the Chips Fall Where They May
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | May 28th at 01:54 PM |

We’ve been dragging on and on all week led by Will Folks on a never ending wild goose chase of the salacious in South Carolina.

Will Folks Denies It
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | May 27th at 09:16 PM |
Will Folks is denying he got paid. Hahahahaha. He says that the text messages he leaked to prove that the Haley campaign knew about the “inappropriate physical relationship” are not now proof of the relationship, but proof that he tried to stop the story from being revealed. More likely, the text messages are proof that Will Folks is trying to drag other people into the | Read More »
