The National Republican Senatorial Committee (the NRSC) sent me an email with the loaded question “Are You Still a Republican?” as the subject. Well, I’m certainly not a Democrat. That much I know for sure. And there was a time that a Republican could have been considered the opposite of a Democrat. Democrats want […]

The scandal involving IRS discrimination against conservative groups is growing. In one case LifeNews has profiled, a pro-life group was told it had to promote abortion. Now, the Thomas More Society is speaking out about blatant bias by the supposedly apolitical tax-collection agency. The pro-life legal group informed LifeNews today that cases it handled support […]

Speaking on the Senate floor this morning, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell again made the case that now is the time for Congress to tackle our out-of-control federal spending. “A few weeks ago, President Obama reportedly said that America doesn’t have a spending problem. Well, he’s wrong. This is completely at odds with what independent experts tell […]

Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results. And by that definition Republicans have suffered from insanity for the past two election cycles. John McCain was a horribly liberal candidate and Barack Obama handed him his head on a platter by being the bold colors to McCain’s pastel shades of Liberalism. […]

This is no surprise. Obama wasting taxpayer money. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The agency responsible for watching over your money is now getting its own finances examined.

If there is not enough money in the coffers, how do you deal with that? Lower spending like American Families would do? Well, to normal people. But Tim Kaine is not a normal person. He is a big government Progressive and the answer is always the same. Raise taxes. And if that’s not enough, raise […]

This blog entry from Daniel J. Mitchell, from the Cato Institute, in Forbes Magazine, perhaps not surprisingly, came out on the side of Estonia, not Prof. Krugman! Here’s a couple of highlights: I have great fondness for Estonia, in part because it was the first post-communist nation to adopt the flat tax, but also because […]

Governor Jindal of Louisiana was just reelected on Saturday; here is the Virginia Right report on the election. Jindal is determined to end the Huey Long era in Louisiana and I strongly support him in that regard.

Henrico, VA– As Chairman Kaine and President Obama double down on the same failed stimulus policies that left Americans with 9% unemployment and massive debt, a new Bloomberg poll shows that an overwhelming 72% of Americans think the economy is headed in the wrong direction.

If you missed the big speech President Obama has been promising to deliver on jobs, let me give you the short version: Tax, tax tax. Spend, spend, spend.
