RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Statement on Democrats’ Failure to Reach a Supercommittee Deal

ICYMI: Why There’s a Debt Stalemate
Excerpts from The Washington Post By Robert J. Samuelson November 20, 2011 “We haven’t had the robust democratic debate about the role of government that lies at the heart of America’s budget stalemate… “Contrary to much press coverage, the committee’s Republicans opened the door to compromise by abandoning — as they should have — [...]
This Is What Democracy Looks Like to State Senator Lena Taylor
In an exclusive story broken by Media Trackers (www.MediaTrackers.org), Wisconsin Democrat state Senator Lena Taylor, an outspoken critic of Governor Scott Walker, appears to be closely associated with voter fraud that took place during the spring elections in April of this year.

Obama Administration and EPA Use Clean Water Act for New Overreach
Just as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has used the Clean Air Act to broaden the scope of their authority way beyond its original intention with rules like MACT and CSAPR, the Clean Water Act is becoming a tool of overreach by the out of control agency. Barack Obama and the EPA’s Lisa Jackson have [...]
Become A Force Multiplier: Five simple tasks for American Activists
Some background to the presentation below: After observing the trends on the Left for many years, in early February 2009, during a meeting with a friend familiar with the “hydra” that the Left had built, we lamented on how there was nothing on the Right to combat the behemoth that had been built by unions, [...]

My baseline Senate projection for 2012
It’s that time again, when we start looking at the Congressional elections of this cycle. The House is a mess to project thanks to redistricting, so let’s start with the Senate this year. It’s early though, so I’m calling my initial projection a “naive” projection, because I don’t know who the candidates are going to [...]
Sex scandals: partisan poison at the polls?
Some unsolicited, un-paid for, and probably unwelcome advice to the Democrats: if it is true – again, if, if, if, if, if, if – that Dale Kildee is in fact guilty of the sexual molestation charges made against him, it will be in the Democratic party’s best interests to force Kildee to resign now. Consider [...]

The 2012 Standard: Holding President Obama Accountable
President Obama did voters a favor. During the 2008 campaign and early in his administration, he laid out the standards by which he should be judged. He made it perfectly clear under what conditions he would deserve re-election. And by his own standard he doesn’t deserve a second term. In February 2009, when employment was [...]
