“Pomposity. A full head of hair. And a faux smile.”

    I propose a solution to the mystery man described by Michael Smerconish in Politico today. Bingo! P.S.: Make sure to take a guess before clicking on the bingo.

    Fellow “hope-he-fail”ers, rejoice!

    According to Rasmussen: 23% “strongly approve” of the job Obama is doing as President (1 off the record) 45% “strongly disapprove” of the job Obama is doing as President (1 off the record) 56% disapprove overall of the job Obama is doing as President (tied with the record) 43% approve overall of the job Obama is doing as President (1 off the record) President Obama’s | Read More »

    The Dow isn’t the only thing that’s dropping

    "Twin fears of global economic contagion and geopolitical turmoil in the Koreas sent the markets reeling for the second day in a row, sending the Dow below 10,000 and volatility surging." According to Rasmussen : 24% "strongly approve" of the job Obama is doing as President (22% is record low) 44% "strongly disapprove" of the job Obama is doing as President (46% is record high) | Read More »

    Sarah Palin endorses…no one

    In addition to the good news of Ken Buck having earned his way onto the primary ballot the old fashioned honest way, Palin decides to focus on bread and butter (or meat and potatoes, or whatever metaphor you prefer) issues in a great speech Saturday. Erick had a great post earlier on this. Whatever you said to Sarah, Erick, or maybe your work on redstate | Read More »

    I’m starting to wish Grayson had won the primary.

    OK, so I went from neutral on Grayson/Paul a few months ago, pointing out that he answered less than ideally to a question about abortion. I eventually chalked that up to his brand of literal, libertarian federalism, and articles by Mr. Erickson and others made me feel better about the whole prospect of this man winning the Republican primary. So I ended up rooting for | Read More »

    This is why we fight for a Republican House in 2010

    In the spirit of Erick’s recent reminder to work as hard as we can to elect conservatives in the primary, but to come home to our party–the Republican Party–in the general…to come home to the party of our conservative ascendancy…I bring you this flashback of the man who will lead the FULL STOP of Obama’s destructive socialist agenda from January 3, 2011 to January 20, | Read More »

    HELL NO YOU CAN’T!

    Minority Leader John Boehner had this to say in opposition to the Obamacare bill: Democrat 2008 slogan: “Yes We Can.” Republican 2010 slogan: “Hell No You Can’t!” I want to hear every single Republican running for Congress this November echoing Mr. Boehner on the campaign trail. Give voice to the anger that We, the People feel, and you will ride a ridal wave of support | Read More »

    Genesis Chapter 1: Health Care Style

    In the beginning of the 111th Congress, We, the People created the Democrat Congress and the Democrat Presidency. And the Presidency was without nicorette, and bumming; and darkness was upon the face of his visage. And the spirit of Obama moved upon the Speaker from San Francisco. And Obama said, “Let there be health care.” And there was health care the Senate Bill. And Obama | Read More »

    Altmire Votes No

    I know short fluff entries are forbidden but hopefully you forgive me this one-off. This is HUGE. Anyone who watched him on Fox News Sunday could see he was leaning strongly toward “yes.” Either this means that Pelosi already has the votes and was able to let Altmire vote no, or the dam is breaking and the Democrats are in serious trouble. Thoughts? (Hard analysis | Read More »

    Obama Sinks to -21; Political Tsunami Scheduled to Hit Washington in 228 Days

    The President’s Interview with Bret Baier–finally, The One is challenged. This morning across America, Truth dawns. The crimson tide gathers momentum as it rolls ever closer–up the Potomac toward Capitol Hill. President Obama is correct when he pleads with his own party to pass this lest his effectiveness be completely diminished. However, this bill, as bad as it is, is not the cause of his | Read More »

    Likelihood of Obamacare Passage Skyrockets Today

    People are flooding the Intrade Prediction Market with money, betting that the Democrat monstrosity otherwise known as the health care bill (aka "Obamacare") will pass soon. The probability went up 25 points , from 45% to 70% chance, in just the last 24 hours . There is only one thing for you to do right now .

    On Perissodactyls

    Since talking about 2012 is good enough for Governor Romney, I will take a moment to comment on it. I agree with Governor Romney that we conservative activists should not run third party candidates in 2012. Does he agree that the Republican Party should not pre-ordain or annoint our nominee before the primaries are over? In 2008, we campaigned for consistent conservatives like Governor Huckabee* | Read More »

    Ahmadinejad Must Die

    The Face of Trutherism, Islamic Fundamentalism, Holocaust Denial, Homophobia, Kidnapping, and Dictatorship. I miss President Bush. (must see the first 1:11) I am really angry about this. This anger is best captured in a clip (warning: language) lasting all of four seconds. And that’s all I have to say.

    President Obama was Right

    He was right on November 2, 2004. He was right on July 12, 2006. He was right on September 25, 2007. He was right on October 9, 2007. Senator Kent Conrad: Majority Leader Harry Reid doin the Texas Two Step: 16 months since Obama and this Congress was elected. Only 8 months to go. Keep the faith, everyone.

    Rand Paul endorsed and JD Hayworth not endorsed: Food for Thought

    Rand Paul On the issue of partial birth abortion: Bill Johnson and Trey Grayson, opponents of Rand Paul in the upcoming Republican primary, issued a joint press release noting that Paul has previously said he “probably” would have supported a federal ban on partial birth abortion. “There’s no ‘probably’ when it comes to the issue of partial birth abortion among Kentucky pro-life activists,” said Grayson. | Read More »

    Sitting on the fence in the McCain-Hayworth primary?

    See if this specific and concise (488 words) statement of contrasts helps you decide who to support. McCain’s selection of Palin as his running mate in 2008 and his solid performance at the Blair House talks on Thursday confirm his place in our minds as a Republican. His service in the Vietnam War confirms his place in our hearts as an American hero. His position | Read More »

    -20

    That’s the over-under prediction I’m making on Rasmussen’s presidential approval index, which is a 3-day rolling average. It is currently (as of 2-25-09) -15. I’m predicting it will hit -20 on one of the next three days (today, tomorrow, and/or Sunday). With the sole exception of 12-22-09, this will be an all-time low for him, by the way. I have never been madder at the | Read More »

    Conservative Anger, Third Party Suicide, and Romney

    The following link takes you to a transcript of Rush Limbaugh. He describes with exceptional eloquence our justifiable anger as conservatives and how it might lead to irrational friendly fire on the only friends we have in Washington DC–the Republicans. Taken to an extreme, we go Third Party in 2010 and 2012 only if we want continued Democrat control of Congress and the White House. | Read More »

    Contract From America

    I went to check this out, and it gave me a list of about 20 issues to choose 10 as most important, and the ones with the most votes would form a contract to give to Congress on April 15, 2010. However, none of the issues had anything to do with life. I understand that apparently if you didn’t sponsor this website, your issue doesn’t | Read More »

    Conservatism vs. Extremism

    Truthers It’s OK to have a debate about which policies would best prevent another 9/11-style terrorist attack. It’s NOT OK to say, "Bush knew." Birthers It’s OK to highlight the woefully inadequate resume of a presidential candidate as you make the case against his (re)election (e.g., Obama’s limited political experience and zero experience running a business). It’s NOT OK to pursue a political dead end | Read More »
