The Rookie’s Rough Guide to CPAC 2012
(This is the third iteration of the Rookie’s Rough Guide to CPAC. You can get the original version here and last year’s revision here. You’ll notice quite a few similarities, but also some useful differences as well.) If you’re a conservative, and haven’t been living in a dank cave far from a WiFi signal, you [...]
President Obama: The State of the Union is…Hey! Get Back in Line, You!
I admit, I didn’t watch President Obama’s State of the Union address. I rarely watch big Presidential speeches live; I get a far better sense of the speech when I wait a little bit and read the full text (and you can get that text from the peerless Andrew Malcolm here). I’m glad I read [...]
Let Us Talk of Asses and Associates
If we can judge Mitt Romney by the gang of Republicans who couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger over the past three years to so much as slow down Barack Obama’s progressive rampage but suddenly find themselves possessed with boundless energy to cast Newt Gingrich as the Greatest Villain of Our Time, then we can surely judge Gingrich by them as well.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I Might Just Have a Conservative Star for You.

My friend Jim [...]
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’ Grotesque Puppet Show — Now with Tea Parties!
I hesitate to call DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz a liar, but I have noticed that she’s taken a precipitous turn toward partisan claptrap that has no basis in reality in her role as Official Spokesjerk of the Democratic Party. “We need to make sure that we tone things down, particularly in light of the [...]
The Almost Great GOP Campaign Ad
I agree with Nice Deb. This GOP campaign video is good, but not quite there. What’s missing? Let’s go back to Nice Deb’s post for the answer. But that barely scrapes the surface of how divisive this President has been. The “hope and change” candidate who was sold as having “a first class temperament”, has proven [...]
Another Week, Another GOP-Engineered Debate Debacle
Why the GOP has agreed to subject their candidates to the best attacks the Democratic message machine can craft is entirely beyond me. Why we on the right have allowed the GOP to continue in its folly without serious pushback mystifies me as well.
The Delivery Presents – So Maybe It’s Time for a 2012 Plan B
You could call Episode 127 my surrender to Barack Obama and the Democrats. I prefer to look at it as a hard dose of reality applied like a splash of water in the faces of sleepy Republicans.
