Why Won’t Eric Hovde Sign the ‘No New Tax’ Pledge?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 9th at 04:46 AM |
It is one area where Eric Hovde is to the left of Tommy Thompson. He will not sign Americans for Tax Reform’s “No New Tax” pledge. Hovde has, instead, launched a broadside attack on ATR and Grover Norquist claiming that Norquist is in the pocket of corporate interests. Pot, meet kettle. In fact, I have well documented concerns about ATR and Norquist, but the pledge | Read More »

Housebreaking Romney: The Importance of Being Vocal
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 8th at 03:01 PM |
“The very same American press corps that calls both small government conservatives and white supremacists ‘far right,’ will call Mitt Romney a conservative whether he is or is not. ” Mitt Romney’s ardent supporters are fit to be tied today. Andrea Saul cited Romneycare approvingly, conservatives rightly piled on, and Romney supporters are defending the guy. “You’re hurting him,” cried one. “Thanks for making this | Read More »
The Moment All the Doubts About Romney Resurfaced on the Right
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 8th at 01:02 PM |
Priorities USA was damaging itself and Barack Obama over its mind numbingly insane ad painting Mitt Romney as a killer. Then the Romney campaign decided to sabotage itself with a mind numbingly bit of spin that may mark the day the Romney campaign died. Defending Romney and combatting the ad, Romney spokesman Andrea Saul . . . let’s go to the quotes “To that point, | Read More »
The Con$ultant Cla$$
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 8th at 06:51 AM |
A few weeks ago I wrote this about the GOP’s consultant class: can I just say what a bunch of charlatans and grifters most GOP consultants are. We have all these GOP Super PACs sucking up millions and millions of dollars to help Mitt Romney and now in the summer lull? Nothing. But I bet some consultants are getting rich. It’s like the GOP consultant | Read More »
Barack Obama is a Murderer
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 8th at 04:46 AM |
The Obama supporting Super PAC Priorities USA yesterday introduced us to Joe Soptic. Mitt Romney killed his wife. Except it is complete and utter crap. Mitt Romney and Bain Capital bought GST Steel at some point. Romney left day to day operations of Bain in 1999. Thereafter, Bain offered Joe Soptic a buy out and he refused. Eventually the steel plant went out of business | Read More »

In Wisconsin, Conservatives Should Rally for Mark Neumann
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 7th at 04:46 AM |
I have supported Mark Neumann’s candidacy in the Wisconsin Senate race, but was also somewhat ambivalent about Eric Hovde. Above all else, I did not want to get in a situation where conservatives were divided and Tommy Thompson won. Goal number one in Wisconsin must be to stop Tommy Thompson. But it is time to set the ambivalence aside. With one week to go we | Read More »

Thank You Steve Penley
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 6th at 04:47 AM |
If you attended the RedState Gathering last year in Charleston, SC or this year in Jacksonville, FL you would have seen some very beautiful paintings of Presidents and scenes from American history. My dear friend Steve Penley from Carrollton, GA is one of the best American artists alive today. For two years he has brought over the paintings. This year, though he was at the | Read More »

It is one of the bugs we have to work out. On the weekend of the RedState Gathering, there’s very little content about the RedState Gathering at RedState. Most of us are at the event. Next year we will have to live stream the whole thing on the front page. This year’s event was a great success. I could not have put this event together | Read More »
