“It is really good to be here in [...]

we suffered a tough defeat on the health care takeover vote in congress yesterday. our freedom has been assaulted daily with the kind of ‘change’ people didn’t realize they were getting when they voted for obama.
our country will never be the same if this healthcare takeover is allowed to stand. the [...]

during this morning’s press conference the gop minority leader completely and utterly rejected The Narcissistic One’s overly dramatic ascertion to rank-and-file dems that ‘the fate of this presidency’ is on the line with the upcoming health care vote. here’s john boehner’s money quote:
‘I’m sorry Mr. President, this isn’t about you. It’s not about the [...]

blech. he’s on my tv again. surrounded by his stagecraft, he trots out the stepford doctors and nurses again. and of course ‘the devoted’ gathered to hear him speak, gave The One a standing ovation. he preened, smiling smugly, as he told all of us that the democrats were going [...]

he’s retiring so i suppose he’s making the most out of the fact he owes none of them anything. senator jim bunning’s (r-ny) 4-day standoff over goverment spending with his fellow senators on both sides of the aisle has become the poli-buzz of the week.
jim bunning’s standoff is because just days ago [...]

at the risk of sounding like michelle obama, for the first time *in a long time* i am proud of my party.
the gop leadership came to the summit at blair house yesterday prepared. they had a vigorous, incisive style. they were knowledgeable, articulate, passionate without predictable rhetoric, and fairly fearless. [...]

i’ve been wondering how all those gop’ers who banged the drum loudly for ‘conservative’ scott brown feel now that he’s helped senate dems advance yet another feckless, bloated stimulus package — badly cloaked as a jobs ‘creation’ bill?
sure. he’s better then ‘marsha’ coakley or any democrat these days - however he is [...]

everyone knows what a big bush family fan i am. W, jeb, barbara, laura and most certainly 41. apparently bushisms were not exclusive to bush 43 — george herbert walker bush had a fair number of them himself. here are a few of my favorites:
“Ozone Man, Ozone. He’s crazy, way out, [...]

with the big wins in virginia and new jersey governor races, gop’ers were beginning to really hope that change might be coming in 2010. and then hell froze over when scott brown won ted kennedy’s seat in massachusetts.
with that incredible senate race, coupled with the now widespread populace opinion that obama’s policies suck, (R)’s [...]

a ‘wicked political pivot’ does comes this way. make no mistake. the win in massachusetts, and virginia and new jersey before that, were wins for conservative principles. conservatism isn’t a ‘regional party’ and conservatives are not destined to wander in the wilderness for a generation like many said after the obama win [...]
