While Ted Cruz has been mostly silent on criticism of Donald Trump, the same cannot be said about his supporters. There are a lot of people bashing Trump these days but none more vociferous than the Cruzers. And for the record, I am not blaming Cruz for the actions of his supporters. And the Trump […]

I’ve heard it said that the secret to breaking the back of the Republican Establishment is to find ourselves an outsider, like Donald Trump or Carly Fiorina, to destroy the RNC from the inside. I’m told that this is how we defeat the GOP establishment once and for all. Smart people have listened to this […]

If you would have asked me in April, what the top 5 issues of the Republican Primary would be, I’d have said, without blinking, “Obamacare, Spending, Debt, a sputtering economy, and ISIS”. I would have been wrong on all counts. The Republican Primary isn’t about any of those things. It’s about Donald Trump, The Donald, […]

Most of the patriots I know who serve as the life-blood of the Republican Grassroots movement in Virginia, will never compromise with the Republican Establishment in this State. I can’t think of a single argument I could use to coax them toward compromise. Every compromise they’ve ever made has backfired and blown up in their […]

Over the last month, the grassroots have embraced a strange form of hysteria. They have wrapped their arms around the President, around John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, in opposition to the ground-up pursuit of sanity by the American People, requesting their State Governments to do what their Federal Government will […]

The GOP has a lot of internal obstacles as this national political party tries to appease the Big Business establishment types, conservatives, and constitutionalists. Those three groups often cannot find middle ground. The Establishment runs the party, are focused on operating the government as it is, and while they try to appease their base (largely […]

Yesterday, June 24th, the Republican Establishment revealed just how far they were willing to go to accomplish Mitch McConnell’s dream of “crushing the TEA Party”. If you’ve been checking Drudge and Breitbart, you already know the story. The subject matter of this article isn’t what happened, but rather what we are going to do about […]

Rand Paul thinks the TEA Party will rally around Mitch McConnell U.S. Sen. Rand Paul said yesterday that he believes members of the tea party movement who backed Louisville businessman Matt Bevin in the Republican primary will quickly coalesce behind Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. And he said he plans to do everything McConnell asks […]

Our political establishments derive their seeming invincibility from their positions of power in Washington DC and from the wealth derived by virtue of holding those positions. They have a lot of institutional support within the business community, within the lobbying empire, and within the bureaucracy itself. This makes the mission of any freedom movement intrinsically […]

What a historic weekend! The Virginia Republican Convention of 2013 is one for the history books! Four years ago, after suffering a most humiliating defeat in 2008 that saw Democrats grab both houses of Congress and the White House, Conservatives, the newly formed TEA Party groups and Patriot groups, Libertarians and anyone else who saw […]

There was some good news coming out of CPAC this year. The younger, more Libertarian leaning Republicans rose to the moment and gave some stirring speeches. At least a few are trying to buck the trend of the RINO Republican Establishment Machine. But the Machine is fighting back. In a big way. The Old Guard […]

Virginian’s only have two choices in tomorrow’s primary. And that is an absolute shame. The “establishment” Democrats and Republicans have stacked the deck to give the best possible chance to the “anointed” candidate of either party and make the bar nearly impossible for anyone else. If Virginia Republicans had their way, Mitt Romney would be […]

If there was any doubt that Virginia’s Republican Establishment Anointed Candidate Mitt Romney was not a big spending liberal, take a look at the Daily Caller where Romney is quoted as saying: “If you just cut, if all you’re thinking about doing is cutting spending, as you cut spending you’ll slow down the economy,” he […]

Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has been lucky. He has escaped the big guns of the media for the most part in this, the 5th year of his Presidential Campaign of 2008 2012.
