After President Obama spent weeks campaigning against the sequester and demanding that Republicans agree to tax hikes to prevent it, the sequester has gone ahead and many observers are declaring it a setback for the White House spin machine. Roll Call writes today, “It wasn’t supposed to be like this for the White House […]

Last week, The Washington Post reported, “President Obama is prepared to veto legislation to block year-end tax hikes and spending cuts, collectively known as the ‘fiscal cliff,’ unless Republicans bow to his demand to raise tax rates for the wealthy, administration officials said. Freed from the political and economic constraints that have tied his hands in the past, […]

Donna Holt’s campaign for National Committeewoman has gained momentum with three key endorsements, including John Tate! Voting for Donna Holt would certainly be a step in the right direction. Donna will be a unifying force for the Party, and electing her will show pro-liberty youth that the Republican Party welcomes their passion and their energy. […]

Yesterday’s chain of events has Republicans buzzing. First, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who has become a folk hero among Conservatives had a bombshell of an announcement when it was disclosed (somewhat prematurely) that he plans to run for Governor of Virginia in 2013. Word is, he planned to make the announcement next week, but the […]

Is Vegas taking bets on what time the Republicans will cave on the debt deal? If not, they should. Everyting is lining up for a massive cave in by the Republican leadership and the Conservative outcry for Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s head on a platter (figuratively, of course) is mounting.

Despite the strong words from Republican Leaders on not raising taxes, true fiscal Conservatives are dubious. And for good reason. We have all heard these promises to cut, not raise taxes and hold the line only to see the smoke and mirrors results of last minute, under the gun negotiations give the Democrats everything they […]

Here’s an awesome paragraph from the Esquire article I cited in the last blog: The Republican leaders who are putting on this show have been as startled as the rest of the country at the sudden potency of once marginal ideas. But to the kids, it’s obvious. This is Ron Paul’s moment. He’s been warning […]

Last evening, President Obama announced a framework for an agreement with Republican Congressional negotiators on preventing tax increases next year. What’s striking about this agreement, though, is how far Obama moved toward the Republican position and how much frustration this has generated among liberal Democrats. The Wall Street Journal outlines the deal. “President Barack Obama […]

I have read this article by the Richmond Libertarian Examiner, Igor Prohorov, on Cong. Paul. It is well written example of good solid editorial writing. Paul is slated to become the chairman of the House subcommittee that oversees the Federal Reserve. Now, there are soundings that GOP leaders are being “asked” to prevent that event […]

During the House hearings designed to allow Congressmen to each have a photo-op on record of them taking potshots at top BP Executives for the Gulf drilling accident, Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX) seems to have missed the memo. Instead of blaming BP for the entire mess, spewing threats and issuing severe tongue lashings, (none of […]

Democrats are likely to lose at least 15 seats in the House of Representatives in 2010 and their losses could go as high as 30-40 seats. The Senate looks more promising for Democrats because there are as many Republican as Democratic seats up for election next year but a loss of 3-4 seats is entirely […]

Bob McDonnell and Virginia Republicans are now completely vindicated for turning down the $125 million in Federal stimulus money to expand unemployment benefits. Taking the Federal dollars required states to increase the unemployment benefits paid out weekly, extend the length of time one may draw benefits from 26 weeks to 59 weeks. It also added […]
