Free Republic

It is time for a new conservative party. I am tired of the Republican Party because it represents keeping the status quo in D.C. The truth is the D.C. establishment consists of both republicans and democrats whose goal is to keep our money flowing into D.C. thereby making everyone beholden to the federal government.

Every few years we talk about winning the next election and then taking back the government; however, that never happens because our so-called representatives...

Writing for Forbes, Bruce Bartlett puts forth an interesting hypothesis that healthcare legislation could have been made better (hopefully he meant to write “less destructive”) if the GOP had been willing to compromise with Democrats: Democrats desperately wanted a bipartisan bill and would have given a lot to get a few Republicans on board. This undoubtedly would have led to enactment of a better health bill than the one we are likely to get. But Republicans never put forward an alternative health proposal.

Wiley, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed a major broadcasting restriction, the Fairness Doctrine. There were howls of protest from conservatives who did not understand the effect this action would have upon the broadcast industry. Some even pleaded for the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine.

ARMEY’S CALL TO ACTION: Support the President’s Agenda to Strengthen America’s Economy! The President has proposed a specific agenda to increase the momentum of our economic recovery. But my sources in Washington, D.C. have told me that President Bush’s bold plan to speed up his 2001 tax cuts and stimulate the American economy faces an uphill battle in Congress – particularly when it comes to ending the double taxation of dividends.
