The Boston Herald notices the sexism inherent in the treatment of Bachman and Palin GOP mega-stars U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin — both top Republicans who buck the status quo — have been unfairly mocked and broadsided with loaded, gender-biased questions, prominent women from both parties told the Herald yesterday. “You have two […]

While I prefer Michele Bachmann to be the GOP presidential candidate, I’m under no illusion that our candidate will probably be Mitt Romney, even if Rick Perry jumps in (you’d be wise to pick Bachmann as your running mate, Mitt). He’s a good, middle of the road Republican who will appeal to the moderates and […]

It’s so terrible There’s a narrative gaining traction in Washington as a debt crisis looms: House Republican hard-liners might soften their stance once they’ve gotten a vote on their Cut, Cap and Balance proposal. But if that’s the case, the conservatives aren’t in on the plan. Well, that’s pretty much it for a story by […]

So says the Politico in a wonder article that could have been written by the DNC or the uber politicized White Democrat House Turning right with a vengeance, Republicans will bring to the House floor Tuesday a newly revised debt-ceiling bill that is remarkable for its total absence of compromise at this late date, two […]

So says NRO’s Andrew McCarthy There is a dismaying symmetry about the debt-limit controversy. Today’s Left creates phony crises to rationalize action on its radically transformative program; today’s Right creates phony rationalizations to avoid addressing actual crises. Incrementally, yesterday’s radicalism becomes today’s norm. The Right talks a good game about small government, constitutional government. But […]

Funny how this news was lost in the shuffle Friday, and I had to go to a British newspaper to find out Republicans claimed to have struck a blow for freedom on Friday when the House of Representatives voted to strip all funding from government programmes promoting energy-saving lightbulbs. The measure, brought as an amendment […]

I’m not a big fan of a balanced budget amendment, it would be better to just stop spending so damned much, rather than peg spending to no more than 18% of GDP. You know government will always attempt to hit that 18%, rather than be frugal with the money they take at the barrel of […]

I’m so glad they can take on this issue, after being dragged in kicking and screaming to the Jeremiah Wright controversy after Sean Hannity revealed it a year prior. Of course, all the writers at The Atlantic gave Obama a free pass after sitting for 20 years in the pews listening to an anti-American and […]

Unfortunately, he stopped at 50% loading, and didn’t mention that Obama has no spine In a meeting with a small group of reporters in his Capitol Hill office this morning, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, criticized President Obama and White House officials for their lack of resolve in negotiations. “Dealing with them the last couple […]

Wait, what? Well, that’s a new one, comparing Bachmann to a porn star. Of course, in reality, someone forgot to fix that portion of the story, and failed to replace the xxx with the actual numbers According to the new IowaRepublican.com poll, Bachmann has built a four point lead over Romney, 25-21. Former Gov. Tim […]
