Can Republicans Retake the Senate in 2010?

Posted on December 10th, 2009

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870 4240504574585921173928460.html By KARL ROVE Democrats began the year as masters of the political universe, winning the White House and increasing their majorities in Congress. But the year is ending badly for them. Their top initiative, health care, is deeply unpopular. Congress’s approval rating is 26%, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s is 28%, and Senate Majority Leader [...]

Tuesday Night Lights

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MTc2NDEyNWNmZmMyMmI5NzAyYmQ2YzQ2NDRmM2Q1ZTU= By: Robert Costa If you call your shot, you’d better make it. Like a sports movie, the health-care debate has been stuffed with platitudes. The most nauseating have come from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), who chatters endlessly about “making history” to his colleagues. It’s getting old. Reid may fancy himself a [...]

No Amnesty for Obamacare

I know the Holidays are right around the corner and most people’s finances are tight, but if [...]

A failed presidency is now unavoidable

Posted on November 19th, 2009

By: Monty Pelerin For the past couple of months I have worried about the risks of a failed presidency. No one should want this, regardless of party affiliation. It is harmful and dangerous to our economy and country. However, it appears obvious to me that the royal regime known as Obama has ended. Seth Leibsohn [...]

With this ‘victory,’ Dems might as well be whistlin’ ‘Dixie’

Posted on November 9th, 2009

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/with_this_victory_dems_ might_as_tGJPDn8DVfjGPNDklfi0YN By: Charles Hurt Inside Washington Saturday’s vote to create a massive government-run health-insurance program is to Nancy Pelosi and her Democrats what the Battle of Gettysburg was to the South.

Has the Democratic Party Just Committed Suicide?

Posted on November 8th, 2009

WASHINGTON (AP) – In a victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House narrowly passed landmark health care legislation Saturday night to expand coverage to tens of millions who lack it and place tough new restrictions on the insurance industry.

Nancy Pelosi is fast becoming a complete joke. Her faux confidence in front of the cameras belies her growing desperation to get the radioactive health care expropriation bill passed before the TEA PARTY people catch up to her. ~~John Cronin~~ House Democrats may finally be taking note of voters’ fears of ObamaCare. The Dems were [...]

Revolt in New York

Posted on November 2nd, 2009

Beltway bigs misjudged public dismay against the Democratic agenda in Washington. Saturday’s decision by Republican Dede Scozzafava to drop out of tomorrow’s special Congressional election in upstate New York is a potentially big political moment that could help to return the GOP to first principles—or could lead to internecine ruin. Much will depend on how [...]

The most spectacularly failed president since Woodrow Wilson

Posted on October 27th, 2009

This powerful essay was sent to me by someone I only know through our conversations on a chatbox on one of the political blogs I frequent. He has sent me other articles over the course of the last six months or so, one or two of which I have published as front page blogs. Due [...]
