  • GOPe, please learn the lesson of Albuquerque: Latinos aren’t coming your way ever

    Tuesday gave us yet another reminder that chasing after the Latino vote is a self-delusional exercise for Republicans. They aren’t interested in our values and never will be. The plurality Hispanic Albuquerque New Mexico had a chance to vote down late term abortions, which are arguably the vilest of infanticides, but decided not to do so. The vote was a 55/45 landslide for death and Democrat politics of doing anything including killing babies to satisfy their depraved supporters. In a special election to determine the moral rectitude of the people of Albuquerque they decided that taking orders from their Democrat...
  • Pennsylvania's Republican Governor Signs The Second Largest Tax Hike Ever Today

    Republican Governor Tom Corbett, who announced he's running for re-election next year, likes to tell Pennsylvanians he hasn't raised taxes. He ran for office four years ago saying he wouldn't raise taxes. But that's exactly what he is doing today when he signs a "transportation funding bill" to fix roads and bridges along with subsidizing public transportation systems (especially in the Philadelphia-Pittsburgh areas). The bill replaces an out in the open 12 cent a gallon gas tax at the pump with a backroom tax on gas at its wholesale price. It also raises registration fees for vehicles in the state...

    If the Republicans can't fight wars and the Democrats stink at socializing medicine, what good are they? That would not be an altogether unreasonable question for a typical American today. No doubt spokesmen for the respective political parties would offer all sorts of objections to that summation. And many of those objections would be fair. A defender of George W. Bush's stint as commander in chief would point to the quick toppling of Saddam and the Taliban. He or she might argue that the Democrats undermined a wartime president and fomented defeatism. As for the Democrats, a partisan might...
  • Granting undocumented Democrats amnesty will bring House Republicans a pyrrhic victory

    The Merriam- Webster dictionary defines a pyrrhic victory as one which is achieved at excessive cost. It is costly to the point of negating or outweighing expected benefits. The word’s origin can be traced to a victory won by Greek King Pyrrhus over the Romans that was so costly that he ultimately won nothing. In their dangerous flirtation with granting amnesty to millions and millions of Illegal aliens, House Republicans are heading for a pyrrhic victory that will bring them not only the death of their party, but the death of America as well. The list of those willing to...

    Having lost a 17 point lead in a month, North Carolina’s Democrat Senator Kay Hagan is in big political trouble. Her blood is in the water and the sharks are closing in on her. North Carolina is swimming in the opposite direction of its neighbor Virginia. The Tar Heel State is run by Republicans and many of them are conservatives. One of them who is not a conservative is Thom Tillis and predictably he is Karl Rove’s candidate in the coming Republican primary to run against Hagan. Although he is the Speaker of North Carolina’s House, Tillis is not a...
  • Raise your hand if you believe Chris Christie’s victory over Barbara Buono was on the level

    Coach is Right ^ | 11/7/13 | Kevin "Coach" Collins
    Okay let’s get this right out: I don’t believe New Jersey Democrat Barbara Buono was a serious candidate. I believe she took one for her team. I believe she was a kamikaze who was supposed to get destroyed by Chris Christie as she did 60/40. I believe the New Jersey Democrats took a look at the landscape in the Garden State and decided even if they brought Franklin Roosevelt back to life and ran him against Christie even he would lose. Once they came to that realization they also recognized that it made little difference whether they lost to him...

    A nationwide call is going out to Americans to occupy Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, November 19, in Lafayette Park, right across from the people’s house, the White House. “Barack Hussein Obama has driven our country into the ground, and the political opposition has allowed this to happen. . .the nation is on the verge of economic, social, and strategic collapse as the people’s grievances continually are being ignored,” says organizer Larry Klayman. You can go to www.reclaimamericanow.net to read the day’s agenda and list of speakers who “have been persecuted by Obama’s Regime.” Here are just some of those you’ll...

    Coach is Right ^ | 10/23/13 | Kevin "Coach" Collins
    When you get knocked down you have two choices; see it as an excuse to feel sorry for yourself or see it as a reason to get up and fight. The only way we can survive is to stand and fight. The capitulation vote told us we may have 144 actual conservatives we can call our Soldiers of Liberty (SoL). They were the House members who voted “No” on the cave. We can argue over the purity of their motives later but for now we have to consider them SoLs. Now, we have to clearly spell out what we want...
  • Grover Norquist Hides Treason by Attacking Ted Cruz

    Shoebat ^ | 10/22/13 | Walid Shoebat
    It was once said that Politics and War make for strange bedfellows. When it comes to the Republican Party establishment, one such example is Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). Norquist’s prominence today very much includes a ride on Ronald Reagan’s coattails. The 40th President’s name is invoked in the very first sentence of Grover’s bio on ATR’s website. Like Senator John McCain (RINO-AZ), when it comes to the fight waged by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) over Obamacare recently, Norquist would rather fight Cruz than the Democrats, despite the fact that Cruz has been fighting against what...

    CHICAGO SUN-TIMES ^ | October 11, 2013 | Elias Isquith
    For nearly 150 years, there was something in America called the Republican Party. It was far from perfect. It made mistakes. But it was predictable; when it was in power, you knew, for the most part, what you were getting. Cut to now and things look mighty different. The Republican Party today is, as political scholars Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein put it, “an insurgent outlier in American politics . . . ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.” But, to borrow...

    (CNSNews.com) - Fifty-two percent of Republicans say that America needs a third party, according to a newly released Gallup poll. Forty-nine percent of Democrats say the same thing. "In fact,' said Gallup in its analysis of the poll, "this marks the first time that a majority of either party's supporters have said a third party is needed." The Gallup survey, which interviewed 1,028 adults (18 and over) nationwide, asked: 'In your view, do the Republican and Democratic parties do an adequate job of representing the American people, or do they do such a poor job that a third major party...

    As we watch Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz fighting to make the Senate live up to its responsiblities to us as their bosses, and being attacked by lowlifes like John McCain and Harry Reid as he does, keep some of these facts in mind. The Democrats in the House and the Senate think Obamacare is so good for us that they are refusing to reverse Barack Obama’s bribe offer to exempt them from the “People’s Medical Paradise” known as Obamacare. Records show that recently we paid $4,005,900 of our hard earned tax dollars to support the average Senator’s personal and...

    Political Realities ^ | 09/26/13 | LD Jackson
    I've never been someone who constantly calls for a third-party in our political system. I have long-held the opinion that a third-party would be able to get very little done, simply because the Democrats and Republicans are so entrenched in the system. I'm still not there yet, but there is something that I need to get off my chest. Why does our party insist on eating its own? Would it be so hard for the Republican establishment to admit that Senator Ted Cruz is doing something good in his attempt to alert and inform Americans about the dangers that are...

    Remember the terrible shooting and killing at the Washington Navy Yard? That was what, two weeks ago yet it has been deeply buried by the same people who enable Barack Obama and his Party to lie to us with impunity. We don’t hear much talk about the shooter using a Muslim name on his internet social media account, do we? Remember the smug predictions from Chuck “Uncle Democrat” Schumer that amnesty would sail through the Republican House because he “knew” so many Republicans were just itching to vote away the life of America and...

    The ideological divide between the “ruling Class” and the rest of us has rarely been wider according to a new USA Today Pew poll. What it is reporting is not good news for King Barack. His subjects are not eager to shut up and get in line. Pew spoke to over 1500 adults and found that, in spite of all the King’s efforts, like enlisting luminaries like Bubba, the Hip Hop world and even the Baltimore Ravens Obamacare has lost support since its passage. The opposition to Obamacare is at an all-time high of 53% and support for it is...

    On PBS’s “NewsHour” on Friday night, New York Times columnist David Brooks warned that Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and similar legislators’ rise to prominence threatens the traditional Republican Party. Brooks insists the motives of Cruz are less about legislation and policy and more about the politics of undermining the Republican establishment. “What’s going on in the House, and a bit in the Senate, too, is what you might call the rise of Ted Cruz-ism,” Brooks said. “And Ted Cruz, the senator from Canada through Texas, is basically not a legislator in the normal sense, doesn’t have an idea that...

    Cockroaches and Colonoscopies are rated higher than Congress in the minds of average citizens according to a recent poll. (1) The 113th Congress is regarded little better than the 112th because “82% of Americans already disapprove.” (2) What’s worse, evidence is surfacing that our elected leaders actually spend about a three hour block of time on our needs, visits or concerns. “Only 3-4 hours a day for the actual work of being a member of Congress” is an insult to Americans! This data is from a power point presentation given to freshman Democrats...

    World Tribune ^ | August 23, 2013 | Grace Vuoto
    It is time for Christians, and those of other faiths who value this nation’s unique character, to leave the Republican Party and start their very own political organization. For decades, the Christian alliance with the GOP has failed to roll back or even mildly halt the relentless advance of liberalism. We have lost the culture, lost the traditional underpinnings of the nation and no longer have a national character we can take pride in. The Republican Party is useless for all those who are serious about upholding traditional Judeo-Christian morality.
