Congressman Brat’s official position in his own words on Paul Ryan as Speaker: Not so fast, Paul Ryan The Washington elites, who have missed every major call of this political season, are now informing us that the speaker’s race is just inside baseball. They could not be more wrong. They should try answering my office […]

After some inquiry, I find it impossible to believe that the Freedom Caucus would arbitrarily cave to the ascendancy of Paul Ryan without specific preconditions. No one was more surprised than I at the news that the HFC (House Freedom Caucus) was intending to back Ryan for Speaker, but as I reflect upon the nature […]

These are amazing times. It is a rare thing that within just a few hours of writing an article I am given cause to retract it. Earlier today I wrote an article praising the Freedom Caucus for their strong principled stand for an open process and a principled, transparent, and deliberative House of Representatives. Whether […]

Several weeks ago, there was a commercial from the Obama campaign that used quotes from AARP citing it as “non-partisan”. Here’s the video from Youtube. Here’s the non-partisan AARP booing Paul Ryan at their convention! Let me tell you. I’ll never join AARP. Never. I have pitched their stuff into the trash can ever since […]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aboUHApz4TE&feature=player_embedded Boston, MA – Today, Romney for President released a new web video, “Another Broken Promise.” The Obama campaign is busy attacking Paul Ryan to distract from President Obama’s broken promises. Four years ago, President Obama promised twice to bring prosperity back to Janesville, Wisconsin and retool its GM plant. Today, that plant still stands […]

I was amazed by this article in the progressive Mother Jones magazine about VP nominee Paul Ryan. Here’s the conclusion: The problem here is simple: there is no silver bullet liberal response to Ryan’s Medicare charges. This is because, rhetorical excesses aside, his charges are basically correct. Why would Mother Jones concede the most contentious […]

While the Democrats feverishly work to make up stuff about Paul Ryan, most do not believe their over-hyped “sky is falling” screams. They have gone to the well far too often to cry wolf – or race card as suits their needs. But the Ryan pick by Mitt Roment has already closed the race to dead even in […]

“Three years ago, President Obama warned of politicians trying to ‘scare the heck out of folks’ with ‘bogeymen’ in an effort to maintain the status quo. With the economy in a slump and unemployment at a five-month high, the Obama campaign and its allies have resorted to the same shameful attacks they used to decry. […]
