I’d Love to Claim Credit for This Smart GOP Move, But…
Now, see Republicans? That wasn’t very hard, was it? Now that the GOP is set to take power in the House of Representatives this January, the party is integrating Tea Party representatives into its official apparatus. The House Republican Party’s newly-formed transition team includes a number of House veterans, but it also includes freshmen Adam [...]
Rand Paul: Now that I’ve Been Elected, I Have Discovered that Earmarks Aren’t All that Bad!
I am as eager as the next conservative to see the Republicans tear into government spending. I want to see Obamacare tossed out a window of the Capitol like an old mattress. I want to see department budgets crushed. I want to see the bureaucrats driven before us. I want to hear the lamentations of [...]
Put the Angry Mob on Hold. We’re Still Fighting Progressives Over Here.
Erick Erickson, bestselling conservative author and CNN commentator, wants you to know today that he’s not blaming anyone specifically for the Republican Party’s failure to turn a historic election into a super-dee-duper historic election. No, sirree. He’s not blaming anyone in particular at all, and he’s not encouraging you to blame anyone either. Nope. He’s [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Monday Morning Coming Down Edition
Another Monday, another start to the work week, another chance to accomplish great things. So let’s get to it, eh? Democrats are going to have a very tough time dealing with newly-elected Florida Congressman Allen West (via memeorandum). He blows up every caricature the left has of “Uncle Tom” black conservatives and, more importantly, he [...]
Maybe Someone Finally Realized that MS-NBC is a Business
Stacy McCain has a point about Keith Olbermann I’ve yet to see anyone else make. Oddly enough, it has nothing to do with Demi Lovato in a bikini. Looking at cable ratings, I’m having a hard time figuring how Olbermann, who draws fewer than 400,000 viewers in the 24-54 demo on an average night is [...]
Democrats: Why, It’s Old Lady Pelo…Oh, to Heck With It.
Allahpundit is to blogging what Josh Hamilton is to the game of baseball. His swing is a thing of majestic beauty and when he gets one in his wheelhouse, he can hit it an awfully long way. Witness his opening to this post on how the Democrats are eager to embrace the suck. Democrats wonder: [...]
What’s With Our Emo President?
Stephen Green has President Obama pegged. I mean, he describes him perfectly. Ladies and gentlemen, the Dilettante-in-Chief who gave you the demerol of stimuli, who gave you three trillion dollars in new deficits after promising a “net spending cut,” and who gave you ObamaCare because he cares enough to raise prices while decreasing services… …this [...]
Building the Lasting Majority Begins with Michele Bachmann
In my last post, I wrote that the Tea Parties and the GOP are going to have to learn to blend their strengths if they have any hope of being a lasting majority. The GOP can start that process by giving Michele Bachmann a leadership position in the next Congress. This blending will not happen [...]
