The general consensus, and one to which I subscribed, was that Senator Ted Cruz would pick up the evangelical support of Ben Carson as the doctor’s campaign declined. That is not, however, what the polls are telling us. I was astonished to look at the trends in the latest Georgia Primary poll, released by WSBTV, […]

The 36 members of the House Freedom Caucus have created a great deal of turmoil in our nations’ capital. While they are too few to control Congresses legislative agenda, they do have enough members to influence the race for Speaker of the House. Many are accusing the Freedom Caucus of trying to hijack the agenda, […]

This week’s question:Can the Republican Party come back, or will a new party emerge? The Glittering Eye:Of course the Republican Party can come back. Right now its major problems […]

Another Virginia Congressman has turned his back on the Conservatives who put him into office. Congressman Scott Rigell is now the latest to justify expanding government through tax increases. And he has even adopted the Progressive’s “code word” for tax hikes calling them “revenue enhancements” to blur the truth. Rigell’s approach is to take away deductions […]

Progressives had hoped that a bitterly contested primary on the Republican side pitting TEA Party activists against Republicans would serve to drive a wedge between the groups and open the doors for more of the Progressive brand of Socialist Neo-Marxist One World Governance for which they stand. Sorry Harry, Nancy and Barack – not to […]

Each state has the right to select three representatives to the Republican National Committee (Yes, the one that condemned and exposed Agenda 21!) and one must be a male and one must be female. The female one is the National Committeewoman. (I think the party chair also sits on the RNC.) I am pleased to […]

Dear Virginians: It is a shame when after years of pro-life steadfastness, Governor McDonnell’s commitment gets severely blurred by the sweet wine of Vice Presidential ambition. Intoxicating and crippling, his drunken desire to play fiddle with Massachusetts Moderation dulls his senses and infuriates his supporters. Thank goodness for sober Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli who fearlessly […]

Finally. Finally. Finally. Speaker John Boehner gave a speech a few minutes ago and called out the Democrats and the President for being absent in this debate. We have been holding his feet to the fire, screaming from the mountain top for Boehner to go after the failed leadership of President Obama and Harry Reid. […]

You really don’t need to be related to Nostradamus to see what is about to happen. The debt ceiling bill proposed by Speaker John Boehner that the Republicans are going to pass today will boost Obama’s sagging poll numbers and give the president a much needed boost in his re-election efforts. And it will once […]

The Congressional Budget Office has had a look at the Boehner Plan, and guess what? What we have been saying about Speaker Boehner all along is true! Remember the Continuing Resolution fight a few months back where Boehner and the Republican Leadership promised $100 Billion in cuts, and settled for a plan that cut $40 […]

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.

When Democrats lie, they tend to be whoppers. The headlines are overflowing with Democrats doing despicable things and trying to blame Republicans. No, Democrats. We all know you were not “hacked”. You are simply being dishonest… again! It is the ‘Culture of Deception’ and is the new reality for the Hanover, Virginia Democratic Committee. While […]

The Constitution was read out loud in the well of the House of Representatives today and the liberals were flummoxed!

Thanks to Rep. Goodlatte’s (VA-06) idea with some help from our VA A.G. Cuccinelli (according to his press release), Republican are starting to walk the talk. Is this a result of the “shellacking”?
