Four Conservatives Making Waves (and one to keep an eye on)

By

Whether 2016 or 2020, there is a great list of potential conservative candidates building.  In fact, conservatism is undergoing a bit of a renaissance spurred on by back to back establishment losses.  Some conservatives are starting to show a little bit of fight, and others are carrying the same banner they have been for years.  In recent weeks four conservative GOP figures have made a splash and the result is some fresh excitement in a party that could use a shot in the arm. Marco Rubio The backlash has already…

Tearing Into Romney’s Critics

By

For many disappointed Republicans the name of the game is blame, and who better to blame for Barack Obama’s reelection than Mitt Romney? That was the topic of Bill O’Reilly’s talking point memo featured in this video. Many Republicans are piling on Mitt for a myriad of reasons.  One self appointed T.E.A. Party leader, Jenny Beth Martin of The TEA Party Patriots,  slammed Mitt Romney, calling his defeat ”a catastrophic loss” that was the result of him being a “weak moderate”.  Martin added that Romney was “handpicked’’ by the Washington’s GOP establishment. According to Martin;…

TEA Party’s New Mission

TEA Party’s New Mission

John Roberts, what were you thinking.  If this question went through your mind at about 10:30am on June 28th, that puts you in good company.  In fact, the whole ruling on the healthcare law frankly seems odd.  First they ruled that it wasn’t a tax so that they could proceed with deciding if it was constitutional or not.  Then they ruled that it was a tax so that they could say it is constitutional.  Then, in a twist of irony after Obama’s recent decision to stop enforcing immigration laws, the…

The VP Matrix

The VP Matrix

Excitement continues to brew about who Mitt Romney might choose as his Vice President.  Today a story hit the news circulation that Marco Rubio is not being vetted, but Tim Pawlenty is being given serious consideration.  Romney found himself on the defensive this evening.  But before you get too excited about a Marco Rubio candidacy, or too upset about it, you may want to take a breather and consider who Romney is and what kind of campaign he is running.  Flash and splash are not the orders of the day.…

Fundraising Apples and Oranges

By

The media is shocked to see the pronounced dead TEA Party raking in cash.  They shouldn’t be.  At the same time, the media is making hay out of Obama contributions compared to Romney’s.  This is a false comparison.  Romney fundraising compared to Obama fundraising is apples and oranges.  Here’s why: Romney has not positioned himself as an inspiring political figure.  He hasn’t made the election about himself.  He has made it about Obama’s record.  In fact, it should be no surprise at all at all that TEA Party conservatives who…

Establishment Turns On Tea Party Again

By

If you need another reason why the conservative movement must insist on purging every last establishment Republican from office, I give you Indiana. It’s Richard Lugar versus Richard Mourdock, the incumbent versus the challenger — RINO versus conservative. If you missed it, over the weekend, Tea party backed candidate Richard Mourdock collected a Palin power endorsement which means, of course, establishment-man Lugar didn’t. Almost immediately after Palin’s endorsement Mourdock also capitalized big on some sweet national exposure with an interview by Breibart.com. Lugar didn’t. Polls as recent as last week…

In The Conservative Crosshairs: Richard Lugar

By

Richard Lugar is a longtime senator from Indiana but hasn’t owned a home there since 1977. And it is this type of paradox, a political career’s worth, that has Sen. Luger in the conservative’s cross-hairs. Sen. Lugar was born and raised in Indiana and graduated first in his class at Shortridge High School in 1950. He attended Denison University and went on to obtain a second Bachelors degree and a MA from Pembroke College, Oxford, England. He was also a Rhodes Scholar. He did a stint in the United States…

Tea Party Must Push For Voter ID

By

In this country you need to show an ID to purchase cigarettes or alcohol, buy a gun and enter certain buildings. Oh and you need an ID to apply for welfare and food stamps. Yet, in many places in America you don’t need an ID to vote. How can this be? A new video seemingly shows just how easy it is to perpetrate voter fraud in this country. Citizen reporter and activist James O’Keefe has released a video showing a man enter a polling station and stating he is Eric…
