Lou Holtz: The Country Is Done
25 Jan 2013 7:00 am William Teach

Nice to see that someone gets it
(Daily Caller) During an address to the Ripon Society on Tuesday, Boehner revealed that Holtz consulted him via text messages on Monday night following Obama’s inauguration.
“Last night, I got a three-page text from my good friend Lou Holtz, who must have watched the inaugural and then all that blabber on TV…: ‘I’m done, finished, the country’s over with — we’re not doing this again!,’” Boehner recounted.
The text was not the first time Holtz voiced pessimism about the president.
“Now, I had already had this conversation …

Colin Powell Recites Democrat Talking Points in Support of Voter Fraud
24 Jan 2013 1:26 pm Dave Blount

Just what does it take to get an unhinged left-wing kook thrown out of the GOP? Endorsing a Marxist against his own party’s candidate didn’t work the first time or even the second. Publicly palling around with wild-eyed Whitey-hater Louis Farrakhan didn’t work. Denouncing gun rights and accusing his party of anti-black racism even after it had made him Secretary of State at least in part because of his politically advantageous race didn’t work either. Let’s see if this does the trick:
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says the Republican …

Pharisees and Sadducees of the GOP
22 Jan 2013 10:30 am Rachel Alexander

Every Republican knows another Republican who agrees with them on 99% of the issues, yet will attack them relentlessly over the 1% of issues they disagree upon. Instead of uniting against the left, these busybodies waste countless hours criticizing other Republicans. They will frequently do it under the ruse of being the “true conservatives,” claiming that anyone who does not agree with them is not conservative enough. Yet the 1% of issues they disagree with others on are often arbitrarily decided and not legitimate issues. Mitt Romney was criticized for …

Krispy Kreme Christie Shoots NRA in the Back
18 Jan 2013 11:26 am Dave Blount

You wouldn’t let rattlesnakes into your house; why allow venous snakes like Chris Christie in your party? The latest outrage from the pork-scarfing RINO who repaid his precious keynote slot at the Republican National Convention by doing more than any other person to get Obama reelected:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, thought to be eyeing a 2016 run for the Republican presidential nomination, blasted an NRA ad that mentions President Barack Obama’s daughters as “reprehensible” and warned it “demeans” the powerful gun-rights group.
Bellowed the blowhard:
“It’s awful to bring public figures’ children …

Renee Ellmers: Obama Exploiting Tragedy For Political Gain
17 Jan 2013 8:59 am William Teach

Nice to see an elected Republican calling it as she sees it and fighting back, instead of the typical mumbling that comes from Republicans
(Daily Caller) “President Obama is once again exploiting a tragedy for political gain and eroding our constitutional rights for the sake of an extreme liberal agenda,” Ellmers said in the statement.
“We need to have a serious discussion on how we can prevent troubled individuals from carrying out their insane intentions. But attacking our legal rights and liberties through abusive executive orders destroys the very principles that have …

Looking Forward To A Shutdown
15 Jan 2013 12:02 am Robert Cleveland

President Obama’s press conference yesterday showed America just exactly what he meant when he said he would not negotiate on raising the debt ceiling. He will not negotiate. He will take no prisoners. He will accept nothing less than complete and total surrender to his agenda.
Once again, the President of the United States seeks to blind the American people to reality, giving them instead a convenient collection of sound bites that place all blame this crisis he created at the feet of Republicans in Congress.
President Obama came out with a …

Exposing the tactics and language of the left
11 Jan 2013 5:40 pm Josh Bernstein

The Democratic Party are masters of deception and illusion. When something sounds too good to be true it usually is. That is how the modern day Democratic Party operates. The left is very adept at hiding their true intentions by misnaming legislation. They can take an unpopular bill and soften its image by giving it a more appealing and inviting name. It is the equivalent of wrapping a piece of coal in a fancy box and putting a bow on top of it.
Here are a few examples of deceptive pieces …

Republican Main Street Partnership RINOs Turn Out To Be Just RINORiffic As Conservatives Thought
9 Jan 2013 7:46 am John Hawkins

Despite the positive press this will probably draw from the mainstream media, the good news is that the Republican Main Street Partnership just rendered itself completely irrelevant with this move.
Enter former GOP rep and noted Boehner ally Steve LaTourette, who’s going to show those “chuckleheads” in the tea party a thing or two by … embracing Democrats? Behold as the Republican Main Street Partnership becomes the Main Street Partnership:
The group’s new president, former Ohio Republican Rep. Steven LaTourette, told Yahoo News that he plans to begin conversations with Blue Dog …

The GOP Establishment Wants To Pick Candidates For You Yokels In The Primaries
7 Jan 2013 9:25 am John Hawkins

After yet another crummy election cycle, the GOP establishment has finally come out with a plan. Is it fixing our archaic get-out-the-vote program? Doing minority outreach? Registering more Republicans? Freshening up the party’s agenda? Doing a better job of working with the grassroots?
No, it’s interfering in primaries.
The disastrous 2012 election and embarrassing fiscal cliff standoff has brought forth one principal conclusion from establishment Republicans: They have a primary problem.
The intra-party contests, or threat thereof, have become the original sin that explains many of the party’s woes in the minds of …

House To Vote On Partial Sandy Relief Bill Friday
4 Jan 2013 9:10 am William Teach

Most in the Legacy Media are referring to this as some sort of capitulation from John Boehner, instead of an understanding that the Senate porked up the Sandy bill
(US News) Cowing to bipartisan pressure, House Speaker John Boehner is bringing to the House floor Friday a measure to help fund recovery efforts for Hurricane Sandy, the superstorm that wreaked havoc in the Northeast, particularly ravaging New York and New Jersey.
Boehner had sought to delay passage of the $60 billion Senate-passed bill, which some in his party say is larded with …

Obama: “I Will Not Negotiate Over Debt Ceiling”
2 Jan 2013 7:04 am William Teach

Der Fuhrer has spoken
(Slate) In a brief address Tuesday night, President Obama saluted the passage of a fiscal cliff deal that the White House had negotiated with the Senate. Then he fired a warning shot at Congressional Republicans, saying he won’t tolerate another down-to-the-wire battle over the debt ceiling this spring.

“I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they’ve already racked up,” he said. “If Congress refuses to give the U.S. government the ability to repay these bills on …

An Inauspicious Start
1 Jan 2013 12:31 pm Dave Blount

On CNN, vulgar moonbat entertainer Kathy Griffin marked the new year by proclaiming, “I’m going to tickle your sac,” and kissing the crotch of homosexual cohost Anderson Cooper. From there, the new year quickly proceeded downhill:
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the last-minute fiscal cliff deal reached by congressional leaders and President Barack Obama cuts only $15 billion in spending while increasing tax revenues by $620 billion — a 41:1 ratio of tax increases to spending cuts.
The $3 and $2 in spending cuts for every $1 of higher taxes Democrats …

Building The Fiscal Cliff, One Dollar At A Time
26 Dec 2012 6:02 am Robert Cleveland

To hear the politicians tell it, you would think that the Fiscal Cliff negotiations were a case of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. President Obama and the Democrats won’t budge on their oh, so essential tax hikes on the evil rich, and those stiff-necked Republicans won’t budge on their insistence that tax rates not be raised.
But as is the norm in modern American politics, the truth tells a different story.
Republican leadership has been quite malleable in the Fiscal Cliff talks, willingly abandoning the “no new taxes” standard. First …

Can We Choose A Candidate Other Than Mark Or Jenny Sanford To Fill Tim Scott’s House Seat?
21 Dec 2012 11:06 am John Hawkins

Can We Choose A Candidate Other Than Mark Or Jenny Sanford To Fill Tim Scott’s House Seat?
Nikki Haley made the right call when she appointed Tim Scott to be Jim DeMint’s replacement in the Senate. However, that now means his House seat is open and will be filled in a special election. The good news is that the seat is in a strong Republican district; so we don’t have to worry about losing it. The bad news is that it may become immersed in the Sanford family’s melodrama.
The Republican primary …

5 Ways The GOP’s Poor Political Decision Making Helped Create This Fiscal Cliff Mess + Why I Would Have Voted For Boehner’s Plan B
21 Dec 2012 6:49 am John Hawkins

Don’t let anyone kid you; there is no winning hand on the fiscal cliff mess. The whole thing is a disaster, largely of the GOP’s own making and the only question is how badly we’re going to lose.
If I were a Republican in the House, I would have voted for Plan B last night. Although I do believe well intentioned conservatives can disagree with that position, I haven’t seen any of them that have offered up a better idea — and that includes groups that I have a great deal …

A Short Open Letter To Joe Wilson: Reconsider And Run Against Lindsey Graham In 2014
19 Dec 2012 4:00 am John Hawkins

Dear Joe Wilson:
Republicans in South Carolina need your help. Now that Tim Scott has been drafted to fill Jim DeMint’s shoes, you may be the only man who can free us of Lindsey Graham.
We remember that Lindsey Graham was one of the biggest supporters of amnesty. We remember Graham trashing the Tea Party, “The problem with the Tea Party, I think it’s just unsustainable because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country. It will die out. …Everything I’m doing now in terms of …

Big Government NAACP Not Pleased With Tim Scott Pick
18 Dec 2012 9:10 am William Teach

Why? Tim Scott refuses to toe the NAACP line
(Daily Caller) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People isn’t too excited about the appointment of Rep. Tim Scott to South Carolina’s soon-to-be-vacated U.S. Senate seat.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced her appointment of the black Republican during a noon press conference in Columbia, South Carolina.
This appointment makes Scott the only Black Senator.
“Mr. Scott certainly comes from a modest background, experience, and so forth, and should be sensitive to those issues,” Hilary Shelton, senior vice president for advocacy and policy …

Is Boehner Actually Playing Obama On The Fiscal Cliff? Maybe…
17 Dec 2012 7:47 am John Hawkins

Conservatives are understandably upset that John Boehner seems to be putting more and more on the table in an attempt to get a deal out of Obama who, so far at least, seems to be offering nothing but a “Thanks, sucker” in return.
Speaker John Boehner has proposed allowing tax rates to rise for the wealthiest Americans if President Barack Obama agrees to major entitlement cuts, according to several sources close to the talks.
It is the first time Boehner has offered any boost in marginal tax rates for any income group, …

Mitch McConnell Should Retire Rather Than Risk Becoming The Todd Akin Of The 2014 Election Cycle
13 Dec 2012 6:33 am John Hawkins

Mitch McConnell is up for reelection in 2014 and although he should be a high priority conservative target for a primary challenge, he has a huge war chest and he’s hired Ron and Rand Paul’s campaign chairman extraordinaire, Jesse Benton, to try to discourage any Republicans from running against him.
Given Mitch McConnell’s horrible poll numbers, the bad news is that it may work.
Although Kentucky remains deeply Republican, McConnell’s low approval ratings — the worst of any senator nationally, according to PPP — could make him vulnerable. Just 37 percent …

Tax Rich Republicans
13 Dec 2012 12:11 am Ann Coulter

Republicans have been forced into a Hobson’s choice of either letting the Bush tax cuts expire for everyone or agreeing to a tax hike on the top 2 percent of income earners (not to be confused with “the rich,” who have already made, inherited or married their money).
If Republicans object to the Democrats’ hitting job creators with a tax hike, three things will happen: Taxes will go up for everyone; Republicans will be seen as the “party of the rich”; and the inevitable economic collapse will be blamed on …
