In the mounting brouhaha over Marco Rubio’s personal expenses being charged to GOP credit cards Hot air has been fast to leap to the defense; after all the darling of the CPAC convention is a true fiscal conservative in the “Duke” Randall Cunningham and J.D. Hayworth mold…

While Tea Party groups fight for ownership of the fractured and fissured political franchise their popularity continues to plummet, and without a positive vision and direction they are not going to sway the masses.

The Proof of the Pudding is the Eating
While some in the NY Conservative party and in the Right Wing blogosphere are trying to portray Tuesday’s historic defeat in NY-23 as a victory, the proof is really in the pudding.
Immediately past the election the House Democrats and Nancy Pelosi are scrambling to clear some hot button [...]

Pyrrhic defeat for Social Conservatives in NY 23
In House District 23 Social Conservatives have just handed a whopping defeat to the GOP. They ran an out of district cypher named Douglas Hoffman under their usual fiscal conservative cloaking device as a third party candidate spoiler, and that he did.
Hoffman’s only clear stances on issues even [...]

Why I Would Never Run for Office in Kansas
I’ve pondered if I should run for office; this because I am a life-long Republican in a red state with strong political opinions and in favor of reasoned action when it comes to politics. I speak well, debate well, and have convincing authoritative voice, and I could [...]

Let’s Play “Where are the Jobs!”
A new NRCC targeted ad, simple but effective:
With the rate jump to 9.8 percent today it’s no wonder that the Dems consider this “sobering”.

60
The NRSC has launched a new Youtube ad, 60, which highlights the power the Democrats control now and how the Republican hopes of the balance voters effects coming into heavy play in the 2010 elections. With Campaign kitties low and donations to the actual party thin, expect the Republicans to focus mostly on the Senate [...]

Republicans Need a New Strategy III
In the last essay I spoke of how we are on desolate shore, our tide receded. The picture is bleaker than the allegory might initially suggest: the tide that put us so far ashore will not come back in tonight, tomorrow, or for a long time – our ship is [...]

Our tide has receded and we stand amidst wrack and drying foam upon a desolate shore. What’s next for us? Will we starve and shrink, or can we somehow pull that tide back?

“Anyone can be angry. That is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, in the right way — that is not easy.”

Open Republicanism
Is there such a thing? Will the Republicans always be run by PAC’s and pundits, or can they actually toss the tired rhetoric aside and move into this century? All good questions that I don’t have the answer for, but we must do something soon.
At a time when our Republican elected officials can only [...]

Post Barakalyptic Wasteland
Ayn Rand once wrote an essay that compared the crowd and the aftermath of the Apollo 11 Launch in 1969 to that of Woodstock. It was both acerbic and insightful, contrasting how the 1 million souls interested in science and the future at Cape Kennedy left the scene of the historic launch to how the 300,000 music and drug enthusiasts left Woodstock. I will leave it to [...]

Ringo the Gringo has a great photo essay on the anti-prop 8 demonstration at the Los Angeles civic center. The photo essay is grouped by the themes of the signs, and there were even a couple of Phelpsian counter protestors there. Please stop by to view the whole thing.

What dreams have we? What future would we build? If you look around the Republican leadership, you don’t see many answers to those questions, but they are urgently in need of answer.
In this series of essays I have challenges for different factions within the Republican base. The intent of these challenges are to get all [...]

What dreams have we? What future would we build? If you look around the Republican leadership, you don’t see many answers to those questions, but they are urgently in need of answer.
We’ve taken two wallopings in two elections, and we are headed to a last ditch defense in 2010. Those coming elections are all important because [...]

It’s very simple why I not criticizing Obama: anything said between now and the time President Elect Obama takes office is mere speculation. Obama has been somewhat of a cypher and political weather vane his entire carreer, adapting and then disavowing, and the only true actions we have seen are his cabinet appointments. Others more knowledgeable about [...]
