Leader of the Opposition
Whilst most elected Republicans are still preoccupied in pledging to work with (or for) the Obama administration, Sarah Palin isn’t having any of it. This is significant criticism, because it is vitally important that a Republican leader emerges who can … Continue reading

Athens into Persepolis
Rasmussen has polled the public on whether they agreed with President Bush’s characterization of capitalism as the “highway to the American Dream.” Only 44% voiced support for capitalism, 33% were undecided and 22% expressed opposition. A grim finding. Only Republicans … Continue reading

Sarah Palin in 2012
Rasmussen reports today that Sarah Palin is the choice of 64% of Republicans for the 2012 Republican nomination, and that a staggering 91% of Republicans have a favorable impression of her (equally remarkable, 65% rate their view as ‘highly favorable’). … Continue reading

We are led by little men and women
I was not in favor of the Paulson plan if you haven’t caught that yet. Still, the pitiful display from our congress today set a recent low. First, faced with an unpopular and contentious bill which she feels for the … Continue reading

Bush Mentions at the Convention
According to ThinkProgress’ count President Bush went completely unmentioned last night at the convention. Rather sad and rather weak. There are plenty of defensible polices of the administration (if there seem to be an equal number of indefensible ones). Avoiding … Continue reading
Pennsylvania Palinism
RightWingNation has some good photographs from the Pennsylvania McCain/Palin rally. Evidently the crowd kept drowning Sarah out with adulatory chants.

Bobby Begins
Rumors have it that Bobby Jindal will deliver the keynote address at the RNCC. Shlok Vaidya thinks the GOP intends to position Jindal for 2012, the way the Democrats managed Obama in 2004. Interesting and possible, although such things are … Continue reading

Marriage Defenders Unite!
It is telling that some of the most outspoken anti-gay Republicans out there, who attach their name to anti-gay marriage amendments no less, are tranny bottoms, cruisy sluts, and whore-mongers. Not that there is anything fundamental to Republican Christian conservatism … Continue reading

Beneath the Surface
Most people believe that liberals and Democrats are more sympathetic to gay interests than conservatives and Republicans. Count me among those who think this is accurate. But, not all is what it seems on the surface. Some Republicans – some … Continue reading

The Peevish Pastor
Huckabee was interviewed on MSNBC on the day Fred Thompson withdrew. The liberation theologist took the opportunity to further ridicule and attack Fred and his supporters for supposedly injuring his campaign in South Carolina. Smart move Huck, really should endear … Continue reading

Take Two
Earlier in the day, you might have been wondering how much of your assets might melt away, as markets around the world gyrated with perceived increasingly negative news. Later, on political blogs everywhere, reports that Fred Thompson was ending a … Continue reading

Hatred on the Homefront for McCain
The Maricopa County Republicans (McCain’s home county) held a meeting and had a straw poll on the primaries. McCain was voted “Most Unacceptable,” ahead of even Ron Paul. Fred Thompson won the “Most Acceptable” vote, but then lost to Romney … Continue reading

Megan McCardle calls the Democrats bluff
I don’t want to hear any more about how the Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility; none of them are planning to close the current deficit, much less deal with the now-seriously-it-really-is-looming entitlement problem. Their tax code changes will … Continue reading

I think this is true
At least the last sentence, my emphasis: First he has no chance whatever of being elected President of the United States of America. He is a rich kid, yes so is George Bush as well – but George Bush gives … Continue reading
Retreat to the Fringe
Social conservatives and particularly crypto-socialist social conservatives (or “populists” if you prefer), are inevitably going to be a minority faction within the GOP. But to their great credit they themselves recognize this. The implications of that self-awareness are dire for … Continue reading

Frontrunnerless
Some people are very happy about the Michigan results: media firms. As Ken Wheaton points out in Advertising Age, with there still being no clear frontrunner for the GOP nom, spending on advertising is about to go through the roof.

God’s Own Constitution
Video clip of Mike Huckabee arguing that “what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards.” Hmm. Is that really in accord with anyone’s notion of Founders intent? I know committed social conservatives who … Continue reading

The Green Party and National Security: An Interview with Alan Augustson
A few weeks back I posted a facile little rebuke aimed at the national security implications of Green Party presidential candidate Alan Augustson‘s political platform. Alan responded to this in such a way that I realized I had little idea … Continue reading
