said he will pursue the congressional district in Arlington I think the one Joe Barton is in. Unless Barton is retiring I don’t see him defeating Barton. Anyway this is great news for Ted Cruz and the conservatives can all rally behind him now as he has a clear path to victory. Leppert is a force and would have had a good chance with Williams | Read More »
I’m not a big Rick Perry fan, even if he gets in he won’t be in my top 3. I doubt his leadership ability. I think Pawlenty is clearly the best choice for us to pursue. But having said that, I’m not some mindless cheerleader who turns off my mind and ears to any other choice other than mine. And in this day and age, | Read More »
I think for me, and for many of us, the thing that is so frustrating for us conservatives is that we can’t seem to find our Paul Revere. The message is simple, the message is applicable and it does correlate to today’s problems. First the British taxed our sugar, then forced us to quarter British soldiers, then forced us to be taxed under the stamp | Read More »
When it comes to the tax code, we all hate it. Its either the complexity of the code itself, the amount you must pay, or both that will rally every American to that cause. But as much as I like the idea of a flat tax (or national consumption tax) I don’t think our society is ready to accept it. It has become the American | Read More »
As Obama continues to roll out his WTF slogan that will no doubt carry over as his re-election slogan, I think it needs to be pointed out that Obama must look to the future because the present is a sour note for him on ALL accounts. Unemployment, really the only main economic measure that matters politically, remains at its high of 9%. Jobs have not yet come | Read More »
As the news today spreads that Bachmann is forming an exploratory committee to consider a Presidential run, I would like to pause and take a moment to make a plea to her. I know she posts on Redstate and I think she may even read the stuff on here. I like Michele, she has been on the front lines on the fight against abortion, more | Read More »
I’m not trying to call for a truce, I’m not trying to belittle the social conservative issues. But I am saying from just a simple factual basis that clearly the 2012 Presidential Election will be dominated by economic issues. I am going to operate under the premise that our number one goal in this election is to defeat Obama, and as such we need the | Read More »
On the campaign trail, Captain Hindsight (Barack Obama) wowed audiences with his uncanny ability to point out what the Bush Administration should have or should not have done based on the results that followed. He incorrectly inferred that Bush made decisions on the fly without thinking through the consequences. Now as President, Obama is finding he doesn’t have the superhero ability of hindsight to make | Read More »
The media, the left, and the word police are after a new target this morning as the express “outrage” that newly sworn in Alabama Governor Robert Bentley said to a Church that you are not my brothers and sisters if you have not accepted Jesus as your savior. They say its ok to be a professing Christian and be a legislator, but make sure you practice | Read More »
Today, Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert announced that he will not seek re-election to his Mayoral post in Dallas, this being a clear signal that he intends to run for Kay Baily Hutchison’s seat in the Senate. Tom will be a very formidable state-wide candidate with his background as both mayor and CEO of a large construction firm. I know Tom, and I truly admire him | Read More »
Over a month ago, it was rolled out on here by Erick that Redstate was going to put their political muscles behind ousting Joe Straus as the Texas speaker of the house. It was said that this was a necessary war because Strauss had a 100% rating from NARAL and he was a compromise choice the last session when the party split was 77-75. With | Read More »
I’m not a Palin fan, as many of you on here know. I can’t stand her brand of hooky politics (you betcha, mama grizzlies, heck ya). But this Arizona shooting has completely exposed the MSM and who they are and this has gone way to far. This latest yahoo article is appalling http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110110/ts_yblog_theticket/giffords-tragedy-could-be-a-defining-moment-for-palin The entire story has been created out of thin twitter air. They | Read More »
I like Joe Biden because he seems to be missing the basic liberal filter that most liberals have. By that, I mean he really tells us what he, and they are thinking. Sunday on “Meet the Press”, Biden shows us how we don’t even share the same dictionary with liberals when he said that the tax cuts to the rich are “morally troubling”. The last | Read More »
As the loony left and Senate Democrats are in a mad scramble to get the votes to pass a repeal of DADT, I and I think many Conservatives and Independents ask rhetorically…”who cares?” If you were to really press me for an answer I would say what is wrong with the system as it is now? The social liberals who are simply out for blood | Read More »
In an effort to show everyone that the GOP is open to working with the President and to avoid even a temporary increase in taxes on Jan. 1st, Mitch McConnell and other GOP leaders brokered a deal with the President. No one can say that the GOP is just sitting in the corner saying no to everything and causing a recessionary crisis, ok check. But | Read More »
The word liberal has become toxic as evidenced by liberals preferring to be called “progressives” instead of liberals. Conservatives are proud of their name and see it as a compliment when someone calls them a conservative. With this latest tax policy fight, these new “progressives” have unveiled themselves as regressives with their class warfare. There is nothing new or different about what they are saying, | Read More »
Contrary to the liberal narrative that this economic recession is all Bushes fault for easing regulation, bank regulators all had jobs this last decade and they reviewed and examined in great detail all of the banks in the US. They were charged with pouring over each asset, asking questions about the current value and validity of each asset, and prescribing a recommended course of action | Read More »
