RNC Releases New Year’s Resolution Cards
WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) launched www.ObamaResolutions.com with New Year’s Resolution cards featuring President Obama and his liberal buddies: “As Americans celebrate the holidays with their friends and families, they will have a chance to reflect on 2011—most notably the failed leadership and reckless economic policies under President Obama and his Democrat friends,” [...]
Tuesday night open thread
Leon’s OT from yesterday went to good use, so I’l start up another one tonight. One little story I found amusing: apparently, voters in the city of Los Angeles will be asked to vote on whether porn stars should be using condoms. To be blunt, I don’t know why I’d care if porn stars give [...]
Ron Paul is Crazy, Part 4,018,663
Know what I’m curious about? I’m curious as to whether there is any video out there of some citizen journalist shoving a microphone in Ron Paul’s face and asking him about some conspiracy theory – any conspiracy theory at all – and Paul just flatly tells the person asking the question that he’s being ridiculous. [...]
VA AG Ken Cuccinelli calls for primary ballot reform, write-in option.
This just keeps getting better and better for the Virginia GOP, doesn’t it? Via Ballot Access News, first we get the Attorney General for Virginia pointing out that the requirements for ballot access are far too restrictive: I would throw out for consideration that we should lower our requirements to 100 legitimate signatures per congressional [...]
The Chickens of Debt Ceiling Deal Have Come Home to Roost
Today, the Treasury Department has announced that Obama will ask for another $1.2 trillion increase in the debt ceiling, carrying our national debt to $16.394 trillion by next year. This will bring Obama’s total share of the debt to $5.77 trillion by the end of his tenure, far more than any other president. Unfortunately, there [...]
Ron Paul is the Real Warmonger
In the last few weeks I’ve been called a neo-con, a Zionist, and a warmonger in various online forums. All by “liberty” supporting Ron Paul fans who insist that history is calling Ron Paul to step forward and rescue America from itself. While I’ve always been on the right I was at one time a [...]
Ron Paul’s Base of Support: Not Republican
Via Ben Domenech’s Transom comes perhaps the least surprising news of the month. That news is that almost exactly half of all Ron Paul supporters in Iowa and New Hampshire self-identity as non-Republican. Without the support of these Democrats and Independents, Paul pulls roughly the same trivial level of support he got in 2008. This [...]
The Façade in DC
In the Old West, buildings were often built with “false fronts”, or façades, that hid the fact that the actual building behind them was much less than it appeared on the surface. The word “façade” is defined as “a superficial appearance or illusion of something”. Now many are probably not aware that the White House [...]
What, If Anything, Could Convince a Ronulan Not to Vote for Ron Paul?
The latest Ron Paul revelation of the day is that, apparently, he would not have sent American troops to Europe in World War II to stop the Holocaust. I mean, we’re getting to the point where this sort of thing isn’t even surprising anymore. To me, the key passage in this particular story is this: [...]
