Onslaught of Union Funded Attack Ads Hit Gov. Walker! . The public employee unions have pledged to spent $60 million on their RECALL effort to viciously attack Gov.

Scott Walker is Under Attack by a Barrage of Negative Union Ads and Needs our Support Today . With the June 5th RECALL election just around the corner, we need your support to defend Gov. Walker and combat the well-funded mudslinging from the...

New Tone: Union Rally Speaker Tells Scott Walker 'We Cut Your Head Off' Tuesday, over 2000 union protesters rolled into Springfield, IL, to protest Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, speaking at the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. Once again they came to chant and sing, and chant and sing they did. It was a typical sea of matching t-shirts—a favored strategy of intimidation—along with their placards of “solidarity” and profane signs. They scattered four giant inflatable rats throughout the crowd, with a gargantuan cardboard cut out of Governor Scott Walker standing out, as well.Presidents of the AFL-CIO, Michael T. Carrigan of Illinois...

NEGROES WITH GUNSApril 18, 2012 Liberals have leapt on the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida to push for the repeal of "stand your ground" laws and to demand tighter gun control. (MSNBC'S Karen Finney blamed "the same people who stymied gun regulation at every point.") This would be like demanding more funding for the General Services Administration after seeing how its employees blew taxpayer money on a party weekend in Las Vegas. We don't know the facts yet, but let's assume the conclusion MSNBC is leaping to is accurate: George Zimmerman stalked a small black child and...

Actual title: The Wisconsin Education Association Council (the largest labor union in Wisconsin) has been caught HIDING survey data that proves Gov. Walker’s leadership and reforms are working. . My Friend,   I received this email from one of the activists in our office and had to share it with you immediately.  The Wisconsin Education Association Council (the largest labor union in Wisconsin) has been caught HIDING survey data that proves Gov. Walker’s leadership and reforms are working.   If we don’t do something to help Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin right now, these labor unions are going to steal...

FIGHTING THE LAST WAR April 11, 2012 In a fast-changing world, a common mistake is to keep fighting the last war. For example, why would Republicans support sending more troops to Afghanistan, when that war was long over, or helping topple Moammar Gadhafi, who had become an ally in the war on terrorism? Some Republicans seem to support all military deployments just out of habit. For years after the 9/11 terrorist attack on America, Democrats hysterically bemoaned any military action, especially in Iraq. They claimed to have many precious objections, but the truth was, they thought we deserved the...

CodePink on Michelle Obama’s message to them in SF: “Keep up the great work”      First Lady Michelle Obama, accepting an anti-war petition at a fundraiser in San Francisco last week, told the CodePink member who presented her with 20,000 signatures,  ”Keep up the great work,” the  organization’s co-founders say.      CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin wrote a blogpost today about the First Lady’s visit. In it, she related what she said happened behind the scenes when Kristin Hull, a CodePink supporter – one who paid to get into  the $500 a head fundraiser – personally met up with Michelle Obama at the California Academy of Sciences last Friday.      After Hull handed Mrs. Obama a...

'POST-RACIAL' LYNCH MOBMarch 28, 2012 Even after the Duke lacrosse case, Texaco executives allegedly using the N-word in private meetings -- which turned out to be "St. Nicholas" -- the Tawana Brawley case, not to mention virtual hailstorms of racist graffiti and nooses materializing on college campuses, all of which invariably end up having been put there by the alleged victims, the Non-Fox Media (NFM) didn't even pause before conjuring a racist plot in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida last month. Like Captain Ahab searching for the Great White Whale, the NFM is constantly on the hunt...

Hands Off My Healthcare Rally The battle against Obamacare and its obvious disregard of the U.S. Constitution has finally reached the U.S. Supreme Court. The Tea Party Express, along with constitutional conservatives across the nation have opposed this legislation from its inception, and whether it be by judicial rule or congressional repeal, we are determined to fight until it is no more. This is why it is so important for you to join us in support of the Hands Off My Health Care Rally at Upper Senate Park on March 27th at 1:00PM. We are teaming up with Americans...

THE VAGINA DIATRIBESMarch 14, 2012 Did I miss the deadline for alternative opinions on Sandra Fluke? What with liberal women constantly talking about their vaginas suddenly pretending to be offended by the word "slut," and conservatives pretending to be as pussified as liberals about the nasty names they've been called, I never got an answer to the most pressing question about Sandra Fluke: Who are you again? Was Fluke dragged out of obscurity after the women of America took a vote and chose her as our spokeswoman? Please, Sandra, we know how deeply private, publicity-shy and terribly busy with...

There is some good news for Gov. Walker and our campaign coming out of Wisconsin today! According to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Wisconsin's unemployment rate dropped to 6.9%, the lowest since December of 2008 and remains well below the the national rate!Not only that, but spurred on by the leadership and reforms of Gov. Scott Walker, Wisconsin added 15,700 private-sector jobs in December and January. What makes these numbers even more impressive is that they happened DESPITE the union led recall against him which has instilled uncertainty in the Wisconsin economy and political system. Imagine all that...

ROMNEY CAMPAIGN DRAGGED DOWN BY BIG BOATLOAD OF DELEGATESRead More » March 7, 2012   Mitt Romney won more than twice as many delegates on Super Tuesday as Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum. The Non-Fox Media's take-away is that Romney suffered a major setback Tuesday night.      No matter what happens, Barack Obama's boosters in the NFM portray it as a debilitating blow to Romney. On Nov. 7, The New York Times' headline will be: "Romney ekes out narrow electoral victory, leaving race uncertain."      To explain the widening gulf in delegates won by Romney compared to the others...

AS SEEN ON TV – THE “SO?” SHIRTPosted by Gavin • 03.05.12 11:50 pm Andrew Breitbart leaves behind a widow and four children. I wrote an obit for him here but the crux of it is… When I was on Greg’s show Red Eye with Breitbart we were asked what we thought of Trump sponsoring a GOP debate. Greg and I had the knee-jerk reaction of scoffing at the whole thing. When Breitbart asked us what was so funny we said, “Well, it’s obviously just some rich guy showboating.” Then he taught me a word I never really paid attention...

<p>We had an eventful day in Wisconsin between braving an old fashioned mid-west snow storm and debating Wisconsin Democratic Party communications director Graeme Zalinski.</p> <p>Between the two, we are still trying to figure out which one blew the most air.</p>

Rest in Peace Andrew Breitbart Posted on March 1, 2012 The conservative movement lost one of its most courageous leaders in Andrew Breitbart. He was an ardent supporter of the tea party movement, frequently appearing at rallies and encouraging Americans to take our country back. When Andrew joined us in the Tea Party Express III kick-off rally in Searchlight, Nevada in 2010 with Governor Sarah Palin, not only did he speak eloquently, but he confronted the liberal demonstrators with his signature aplomb. He was amused when their only intellectual response was to assault him and the Tea Party Express...

THE PROBLEM WITH SANTORUMFebruary 29, 2012 Even when I agree with Rick Santorum, listening to him argue the point almost makes me change my mind. I also wonder why he's running for president, rather than governor, when the issues closest to his heart are family-oriented matters about which the federal government can, and should, do very little. It's strange that Santorum doesn't seem to understand the crucial state-federal divide bequeathed to us by the framers of our Constitution, inasmuch as it is precisely that difference that underlies his own point that states could ban contraception. Of course they can. States...

WHAT'S THEIR PROBLEM WITH ROMNEY?February 22, 2012 As governor of one of the most liberal states in the union, Mitt Romney did something even Ronald Reagan didn't do as governor of California: He balanced the budget without raising taxes. Romney became deeply pro-life as governor of the aforementioned liberal state and vetoed an embryonic stem cell bill. (Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich lobbied President George W. Bush to allow embryonic stem cell research.) Romney's approach to illegal immigration in Massachusetts resembled what Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona is doing today, making her a right-wing heroine. Romney pushed the conservative alternative to...
