RNC Chairman Priebus Statement on the Wisconsin Recall Elections
WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on the Wisconsin recall elections: “Last November, Wisconsin voters elected new leaders to get their state back on track.

Government Motors Spends Your Money
Yes, General Motors. A great example of Obama’s efforts to revitalize our economy. He bravely handed a failing industry billions of dollars of other people’s money and then planted political friends in high positions while paying off the unions with shares of the company. As recently as May of this year, people like Jen Psaki, [...]
‘Failure of Leadership.’
Fresh from the creative mind of our own Ben Howe comes this latest reminder of precisely how badly we messed up the 2008 Presidential election by picking one of the most inexperienced candidates in history (both in terms of resume, and temperament) to run the country. The entertaining part? Ben didn’t need much more besides [...]

It listed the speaker from “Palestine” [...]
Keystone XL Pipeline: Bureaucratic Hacky-Sack
Larger image below the fold. The Obama Administration continues to play bureaucratic hacky-sack with what could be a key element of our nation’s secure energy future: the Keystone XL pipeline project. The new line would increase the export capacity of the Keystone Pipeline (placed in service 2008) by 700,000 barrels of Canadian oil-sands oil per [...]
GOP Picks for Super Duper Committee Won’t Make a Difference
Well, the much anticipated picks for the debt deal Super Committee have been announced. There will be much ink spilled over who was chosen and who was rejected. However, the salient point is not the orientation of the committee, but the entire premise behind the committee itself. Many conservatives will laud the choice of Pat [...]
Looking for Big Themes in Wisconsin
Last night on twitter, I wrote “Dear GOP: don’t mimic Dem spin that this will have any relevance on 2012. It won’t.” Interestingly, the first reaction to that from Congressman Patrick McHenry’s (R-NC) Chief of Staff was that I was “officially rooting against Republicans.” Now, I don’t know this lady from Adam . . .
