Sound familiar? It should, it’s been a trick of the Democrats to pin that label on Republicans for years; “The Party of NO.” I submit to you that despite media reports and observations to the contrary, that label is now firmly stuck not only to the Democrats, but President Nobama Obama as well. No Plan Obama has no budget plan, only a campaign agenda. Long | Read More »
As the following was written, it appeared the ban hammer was being weilded in all directions without mercy or thought. Erick since posted this, and it’s obvious I don’t know all the facts. Threatening legal action? Against RedState? So I wrote the following, and as I sit here looking at the publish button… Well, I do like the music video, and my feelings are genuine; | Read More »
Well, Obama and the left must really be happy with the way things are working out in pharmaceutical research. The evil “Big Drug” companies can no longer afford the R&D costs and FDA hoops to bring new life saving drugs to the market – so they are gradually grinding research to a halt. It’s no longer profitable. In steps Big Government. Back in December, the | Read More »
NASA has scheduled its last-ever US Space Shuttle mission for 28 June, 2011. Designated STS-135, it will carry a mass of supplies, parts. and whatever they can cram aboard to the International Space Station in advance of the Shuttle program coming to an end. After that, the ISS will rely solely on what can be launched by the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, slingshots, little red wagons | Read More »
Best video I think I’ve seen so far, MarineGirl85 added this to YouTube several years ago, but it got yanked for copyright infringement until recently when the label figured out it could actually sell songs on iTunes by allowing users to make videos with them and slapping a link up themselves to where one could buy it. So now it’s back up. The footage was | Read More »

Yes, the same left that screamed “Ted Kennedy is still alive! He can represent us!” while he was was “sidelined” for much of his last year is now beginning the chant against Jeff Gorell, (R Candidate for the 37th Assembly District. His opponent, Saudi born Democrat candidate Ferial Masry, of course “understands” Gorell has a duty to serve when called, also suggested; …she believes Gorell | Read More »
So the Senate GOP thinks that the rise of conservatism in the United States is a cool thing for them. They look forward to all the perks; bigger office spaces, nice committee chairs, all the networks finally coming to them for statements instead of Reid and Pelosi.* Nice gig if you can get it. Somehow now the GOP leaders seem to be thinking that this | Read More »
Seems this one hit a little too close to home! Van Tran, who is running against Rep. Loretta Sanchez, sent out a flier to central Orange County voters with the scratch-and-sniff section labeled, “something smells rotten about Loretta,” The Orange County Register reported Wednesday. “It’s the stench of Washington,” the mailer says. George Andrews, Tran’s campaign manager, said the scratch-and-sniff section is supposed to smell | Read More »
Tonight ABC aired a Diane Sawyer interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger about what he hopes will be “his legacy” (more like “stain”) to California, which will be his kicking us off the Global Warming cliff. As he bashes the “Evil Rich” and “Big Oil” about their carbon-spewing ways, he hopes you’ll forget or ignore the fact that he commutes nearly daily between his LA mansion and | Read More »
This is about as disgusting as it gets. I’ve never even heard of this Moran guy, so my first impression of him is the lasting impression that my military service isn’t worth as much as Jim Moran’s public service as a leftist politician. Really?? So I guess in “charging into the breeches” of Congress, Jim Moran got to see friends killed trying to cover his | Read More »
From the diaries by the other Erick. An article out today calls the Loretta Sanchez cash advantage “glaring“; With two weeks to go before the election, Sanchez, D-Santa Ana, still has nearly $1.2 million in her campaign accounts, the most recent campaign-finance reports show. Tran, a termed-out assemblyman hoping to unseat her, has less than $300,000. The reports, released late Friday, show that Sanchez has | Read More »
Most people reading this knew Brown would be a socialist-leaning Governor if elected in California. The only thing missing was something recent he might say to prove that point; he’s been playing the center up until now. Behold, the closet door falls open. Apparently with Bill Clinton and Gavin Newsom by his side, Moonbeam just couldn’t help himself. Via No Governor Moonbeam; Glad to see | Read More »
The well-meaning liberals as well as the hard-core leftists who drive the liberal’s reasoning are out in mass of late pushing for a “No” vote by Californians on Proposition 23. What is their reasoning? Now that California has been forced to turn to “green technology” to power the engine of the economy (which technology still doesn’t exist in any economical form), there will be a | Read More »
Seems the NRA’s competition has no trouble figuring it out; Nevada Senator Harry Reid claims to be a defender of the Second Amendment. Is that really the case? You decide. Here is a list of votes he has cast over the past twenty years in the U.S. Senate: 1. June 28, 1991—Voted for a 5 day waiting period for handgun purchases (Vote No. 115). 2. | Read More »
As the left rallies against one prop in California that could save jobs, Prop 23, they demonize support for 23 by saying that “Texas Big Oil Billionaires” stand to profit from its implementation. Seems they have no problem with their own billionaires gaming the system for personal financial gain; by Ann McElhinney We hear a lot about “vested interests” in America these days. Here in | Read More »
Seems the “Crying Indian” ad had no affect on the left this weekend, as chronicled by Jenny Erikson in DC today.
I LIKE the “____ destroys Gloria Allred” theme, can you tell? Gloria is such a hack; This is just an awesome smackdown. Awesome. Greta before the show posted this;
Zoe Lofgren seems to have lost all self-respect or respect for her office by being in office for way too long. This was evidenced by her refusing to listen to reason in inviting Steven Colbert to make a mockery of a Congressional hearing on Friday. I mean, really? It’s somewhat akin to inviting Roseann Barr to sing the National Anthem and then being surprised it | Read More »
He was against it, before he was for it h/t MagicGus Via Mercury News; SACRAMENTO, Calif.—California Attorney General Jerry Brown told the editorial board of The Sacramento Bee that he is not morally opposed to the death penalty, even though he said the opposite in 1992.

Via Brad Blakeman; Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert appeared and “testified,” Friday before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration. The comedian appeared as an “expert” witness on the plight of migrant farm workers at the express invitation of the subcommittee’s chairwoman, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.). His “testimony’ was an embarrassment to himself, his country, the Congress and the entire issue of immigration reform. It amounted to | Read More »
Interviewed on Fox News, Republican candidate for California’s 8th House District John Dennis would like to debate the incumbent Pelosi, but he can’t get a word in edgewise – because she’s afraid to face him in a public debate. Not surprising though, really, as Pelosi’s record is indefensible, and she really doesn’t want to be compared to a better candidate in public. As of this | Read More »
I’m at 35,000 feet on-board an airliner recently departed from Austin, Texas en-route to Orange County Airport, California and there’s a lot of time to kill. I started by reading Erick Erickson’s excellent book Red State Uprising but I couldn’t just sit still, I had to be active doing something, besides I’m just too jazzed about the events over the weekend. I’ll have to recap | Read More »
California’s 11th Congressional District in Northern Calif. covers parts of Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara and San Joaquin counties. the incumbent, Jerry McNerney, won handily in 2008 with 55.3% to 44.7% of the vote. Compare to today after the toxicity of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid trio; Despite Representative Jerry McNerney having 93 percent name ID (with a 41 to 34 percent favorable-unfavorable rating) compared to challenger David | Read More »
So why are we spending all this energy rehashing the primaries? We are, I’m hearing the murmurs from a lot of people in California who are definitely conservative. I’m no fan of Carly Fiorina or Meg Whitman, and Poizner wasn’t sending thrills up my leg either, but that’s the breaks when money buys TV and radio ads, and the “Citizen Representative” of today can barely | Read More »
