Newt Calls Obama’s Trayvon Martin Comments “Disgraceful” And “Appalling”

When asked, Obama had this to say about Trayvon Martin Well, I’m the head of the executive branch, and the Attorney General reports to me so I’ve got to be careful about my statements to make sure that we’re not impairing any investigation that’s taking place right now. But obviously, this is a tragedy. I […]

Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) Terms EPA: “Employment Prevention Agency”

Hey, I like the EPA, it has a place and serves a purpose. Unfortunately, it has become entirely too political, it goes well beyond its purpose, and cares little for the people it hurts: Obama’s EPA as an Employment Prevention Agency (via Junk Science) President Barack Obama, in his recent “energy speech,” declared that a […]

Walter B. Jones Submits Obama Impeachment Bill To Congress Over Syria Remarks

Don’t get too excited one way or the other: it calls for impeachment if the Obama admin. seeks international/NATO permission to attack Syria before coming to Congress (WND) Let the president be duly warned. Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr., R-N.C., has introduced a resolution declaring that should the president use offensive military force without authorization […]

Bachmann Terms Obama A “Health Care Dictator”

I usually avoid back to back posts on our Failure In Chief, but, Michele Bachmann makes some good points in between going a bit overboard (The Hill) Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) suggested Tuesday that President Obama’s health care reform law could give the government a dangerous amount of power in individual’s health care decisions, going […]

Will Super Tuesday See Romney Rise And Not-Romney’s Drop Out?

Will Romney win big? Will Santorum win big? Will Newt win Georgia? Will Ron Paul win the militia vote and still be irrelevant? Will any contenders drop out? Questions to be answered by the end of the day (Daily Caller) It’s Super Tuesday, which means today is the busiest day yet of the 2012 Republican […]

Seven Takeaways From Arizona And Michigan

OK, so we had the primaries in those two states yesterday. Mitt won big in Arizona over Santorum, 47.3 to 26.6, and squeaked one out in Michigan, 41.1 to 37.9. The Politico provides 5 takeaways 1) A win is a win: It’s the cliche of the cycle, and we’ve found ourselves saying it to defend […]

Washington Post Provides Religious Test For Santorum

I’d be nice if some liberal somewhere actually read the Constitution now and then (WP) That Mr. Santorum believes he has the standing to declaim on the rightness of Mr. Obama’s faith, and whether it is sufficiently Bible-based, is in itself disqualifying. Funny how Obama’s religion wasn’t an issue in 2008, despite sitting in the […]

James Inhofe: Climate Realists Have Beaten Warmists On Cap And Trade

But, to my way of thinking, Realists have to keep the fight up against the Warmists, who will keep attempting to enact their legislation and regulation. I once asked Ed Morrissey, back when he was still at Captain’s Quarters, why he bothered exposing the 9/11 Truthers, since they were basically wackjobs and conspiracy nuts. He […]

Cantor And Fincher Triple Dog Dare Obama With JOBS Act

Late Monday night, an opinion piece by GOP Representatives Eric Cantor and Stephen Fincher was published at The Politico, highlighting the GOP’s JOBS Act. After a bit of background into the importance of small businesses in the jobs market, and the regulations and red tape that block them (and the pair avoid playing the Blame […]

Remember The Meme About Santorum Being “Anti-Women”?

The Politico and the Democrats, but, I repeat myself, thought that the contraception mandate issue was the perfect issue for Democrats, as they could paint Republicans, and Santorum, as “anti-women” (despite marrying one and having three daughters). How’s that working out? (Washington Post) Over the past several weeks, Republicans have watched squeamishly as presidential contender […]
