Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who many Republicans have been pushing to run for governor in 2010, is instead leaning more toward a run for U.S. Senate
Because Rudy is a leader and America needs his brand of conservatism in the era of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. [...]
Interesting trend to watch as Palinpalooza wends it's way through America: How Republicans react to her. The ones who want to cuddle up to conservatives and the Tea Par-tayers will sing her...? The UC fee hikes went final. A sad day' [...]
Redistricting in Louisiana in 2011 is likely going to be an ugly partisan fight between Democrats and Republicans in the state legislature as well as the Republican Governor Bob Jindal. Because of Hurricane Katrina the demographics of the state have changed, and the population has gone down since 2000, likely [...]
Remember when Bush was president and those nasty, obstructive Democrats sometimes conducted filibusters against his judicial nominees, which would have forced them to get 60 votes? AL Sen. Jeff Sessions was especially outraged back then, calling it “really wrong” to indulge in such “unprecedented, obstructive tactics.”
Well, there’s a Democrat in [...]
There simply can't be any member of Congress who now doesn't know what's coming when they're interviewed by Stephen Colbert.
The comically conservative late night host has made mincemeat of both Republicans and Democrats in his now infamous "Better Know A District" segment, in which he randomly picks a' [...]
Republicans are responsible, by and large for all of the tax abatements that are given by states. So states are going broke. There is a conservative principle behind this principle of 'no new taxes' and it is a fundamental and righteous principle. That principle is the defunding of the welfare [...]
Yahoo! currently leads with a story supposedly fact-checking Sarah Palin’s new book, with a headline contending Palin’s book goes rogue on some facts. Because it’s the AP, I use the adverb “supposedly.” When it comes to “fact-checking” Republicans, most of their “facts” tend to be liberal talking points. And [...]
The California GOP is hitting Jerry Brown hard over his office's self-investigation into its secret taping scandal -- with a just-released online ad. Just in time for the "New Moon" movie ...
Politico has an interesting story about “base” activists — hard-left liberals for the Dems and hard-right conservatives for the Republicans — are urging supporters not to make donations through the respective parties’ national committees to protest what they see as insufficient ideological purity. Dems are upset that an anti-abortion [...]
Last night at the SLDN fundraiser, I did my utmost to stay silent when various participants maligned Republicans and “the right.” Though when one person suggested the Club for Growth had an anti-gay agenda, I blurt out that just wasn’t so. Just one look at their web page [...]
Not sayin’ all of them need it but…
Clearly some of them do:
Ya think? Some of them may need some work on The Pledge of
Allegiance, as well:
H/T to ctblogger at MLN for the Boehner and Akin videos. And just a quick note to say thanks to Bob for inviting [...]
“The bill is framed in terms of Republican attacks on the Democratic bill, not in terms of its own aims or methods. Which is fine, and to be expected. If I were a Republican, I wouldn’t spend my time crafting a health-care reform plan, either. Republicans don’t have the votes [...]
The election of a Democrat in NY’s 23rd CD has been generally attributed to the intraparty squabbling among Republicans over a candidate who might have been acceptable to the district but was seen as too liberal by many in the “base.” This NYT piece by Carl Hulse throws a [...]
Usually candidates for office need to worry most about raising money to wage their campaigns. For the two Republicans who want to take on Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer next year, their first job is to get Republicans to recognize their names.
Chuck DeVore and Carly [...]
President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, key House and Senate Democratic and Republicans, and most importantly the major pharmaceuticals and private insurers know one thing, and they've known it from the start of the health care debate. And that's that the senate not the' [...]
From Powerline:
The basic asymmetry of American politics is that there are more conservatives than there are Republicans, while there are more Democrats than there are liberals. This is why Nancy Pelosi wasn't able to persuade anything like a unified caucus to vote for her government takeover of health care, and why Democratic [...]
In trying to spin the results of this week’s elections to fit the Democratic/media narrative that Republicans are a dying species, Administration officials dwell on the results in NY-23 as if the White House were indifferent to the races in New Jersey and Virginia. And anyway, the Democratic candidate in [...]
(This originally appeared in the Capitol Morning Report)
Last week's announcement by freshman Central Valley Assemblymember Danny Gilmore that he likely won't seek re-election is a another headache for Legislative Republicans, who hoped to improve their numbers in the 2010 election, both in the Assembly and the Senate.
A new review of' [...]
It seems some conservative bloggers are so devoted to defeat the more establishment Republicans in the race that they assume all contests on the right are between a “stimulus” supporters like Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio or Dede Scozzafava and Doug Hoffman. Here, in the Golden State, some of my [...]
