    Welcome to RedState at Thanksgiving

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 23rd at 08:05 AM  | 

    There is no morning briefing today. I’m filling in for Neil Boortz. You can listen live right here. There’ll be posts up today, just a bit slower than normal.

    Good Question by Mayhem

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 22nd at 08:00 AM  | 

    RedState User Mayhem asks a good question: Sometimes I find it frustrating that you refrain from telling us *why* you don’t support certain candidates. At times, you just completely ignore covering entire states because no one seems to excite you there (last year you said hardly anything about Rob Portman in Ohio, but, as I recall, you never really gave us a reason for why | Read More »

    Why Harriet Miers . . . er . . . Mitt Romney Cannot Be the GOP Nominee

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 22nd at 04:47 AM  | 

    Mitt Romney is the Harriet Miers of the 2012 election cycle. He is only a conservative because certain Washington conservatives tell us he is conservative. These same Washington conservatives said the same about Harriet Miers back in 2005. What’s more, it is starting to show. Have you seen the latest CNN poll? Newt Gingrich has surged into the lead. That was rather expected. But Mitt | Read More »

    The Super Committee Failed The Day It Was Created

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 22nd at 04:46 AM  | 

    The Super Committee has failed to find a way to trim $1.2 trillion from the deficit. The fact is, though, the Super Committee was a failure from the moment it was conceived. Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, could not control itself. So it punted its failures to a Super Committee and even the threat of massive defense cuts could not prompt Congress to kick its | Read More »

    Pay Attention to Dan Liljenquist in Utah

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 21st at 12:45 PM  | 

    There aren’t a whole lot of Senate races to get excited about this year. Adam Hasner in Florida, Josh Mandel in Ohio, Don Stenberg in Nebraska, Ted Cruz in Texas, and Jeff Flake in Arizona are about it for me right now. But I do want to beat Heather Wilson in New Mexico and Tommy Thompson in Wisconsin. One race where I’ve sat back a | Read More »

    Intentional or Not, Pat Toomey Shows America the Democrats Care Nothing for Our National Security

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 17th at 04:45 AM  | 

    It is one of the quintessential pillars of the Republican Party — no new taxes. George H. W. Bush got thrown out of office for violating that pledge. But Pat Toomey, Senator of Pennsylvania, is proposing new taxes. He’s proposing $300 billion in new taxes, largely through restructuring and simplifying the tax code. But they are new taxes. So we have the GOP willing to | Read More »

    We Sent ‘Tea Party’ Republicans to Washington for This?

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 16th at 04:45 AM  | 

    In the House Republican’s Pledge that I told you was a “Pledge to Nowhere,” you find this language: “tax increases must be prevented” and “We will help the economy by permanently stopping all tax increases”. Got it? The House GOP pledged, also known as a promise, to stop “all tax increases.” It was their promise. According to The Hill, the Republicans are about to give | Read More »

    While You Were Distracted

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 15th at 04:46 AM  | 

    While we’ve all been distracted by the Presidential race, there is other news out there that may give you heart burn. Way back when during a forgotten age, conservatives were treated to this: The Hill – 6/24/11 – Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Friday said President Obama “must lead” if the standoff over the debt limit is going to be resolved but warned that any | Read More »

    Jon Huntsman’s Poor Messaging

    By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  November 14th at 10:46 AM  | 

    I’m a bit shocked by this excellent Coffee & Markets interview with Ambassador Jon Huntsman. Believe it or not, outside of his crummy campaign messaging (“I believe in science”) and the debates, this is a guy who actually sounds conservative. I have to wonder if there are two Jon Huntsmans out there — the conservative and the liberal going to different events. If nothing else, | Read More »
