Grijalva’s Constituents Are Getting Restless
Arizona’s Congressional District 7 is run as a fiefdom by Raul (formerly Ralph) Grijalva, a militant moonbat who has actually called on the rest of the country to boycott his own state for attempting to enforce federal immigration law with SB1070. Grijalva presides over an extensive political machine, which with the help of Tucson’s wacky [...]
Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) Dead at 92
Get ready for the mother of all narrative struggles: the left will be eager to whitewash Byrd’s horrific legacy, which includes a stint in the KKK, filibustering the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and opposing both Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas
Welcome to East Germany on the Potomac
Newsweek, owned by the Washington Post, famously screamed on a cover story early last year that "We Are All Socialists Now." In contrast, the conservative Hot Air blog recently noted the correlation between the leviathan socialist state virtually all Beltway journalists begged for when they endorsed Obama in 2008, and the state of journalism itself. You wanted East Germany on the Potomac, MSM? The paranoia over who leaked faux-conservative Dave Weigel's incendiary emails on the Journolist goes hand in that hand with that big of a government
Sen. Harkin Promises Return to Card Check
The Hill is reporting that Iowa’s leading Democrat, Senator Tom Harkin, is promising that the lame-duck Senate will again take up Big Labor’s favored Employee Free Choice Act, (EFCA), the famous card check act that is neither good for employees nor one that facilitates “free choice” of any kind.
Apparently, what’s bad for the nation is [...]
Talk about Biting the Hand that Fed You: Obama’s Attack on America’s Students
Whether we like to actually admit it, the youth of our nation voted en masse for President Barack Obama. Exit polls indicate he won as much as 66% of voters under 30 years old. Enchanted by the word “change” entering into the prospective definition of their future, Obama calmed this worried, young sector of [...]
A Tuesday Full Of Awesome: Mike Lee, Tim Scott, And Nikki Haley All Win!
Yesterday was a great day for conservatives.
Nikki Haley, who’s a strong conservative, easily won a run-off race for governor in South Carolina. If she wins the general election, she’ll be the first female Indian-American governor in the country. The latest poll I’ve seen has Haley up by roughly 20 points over Democratic candidate Vincent Sheheen.
Another [...]
Video: Drama, Corruption, Comedy, It’s ‘Obama’s Chicago Network’
The Republican National Committee has a new video out. Rather amusing in a grave sort of way, I think.

The AP: Using Emotional Descriptives to Demean the GOP
One of the best ways to cajole a reader into accepting a point of view is to use emotional descriptives in writing. It is the difference between opinion style editorials — like what I write — and straight news — like what a wire service like the Associated Press is supposed to be writing. Unfortunately, [...]
Obama Knew all and did Nothing….
From day one of the spill, we have seen that it has left more than tragedy and waste in its path but also a magnifying of exactly what our White House holds: Zero real leadership and continuous degradation of the U.S. Constitution. While many political experts have said time and time again that our Commander [...]
Samuel T. Cogley, Come On Down!
Meet Texas' surprise Democratic primary winner, congressional nominee Kesha Rogers. What could go wrong?
Aide to Alexi ‘Mob Banker’ Giannoulias Manhandles Videographer
OK, OK, this one has been making the rounds all last week. It shows one of Illinois Democratic Senate candidate Alexi “The Mob Banker” Giannoulias’ staffers pushing around a videographer who was trying to get a look at who was attending a private fundraiser.
Yeah its uncomfortable to watch, but I have to come down on [...]
Barton’s Short Lived Gift to the DNC
Yesterday, Representative Joe Barton issued an apology, first on behalf of the nation and then of himself and called the recent acceptance of the Obama Administration’s orders for BP to pay $20 billion dollars in order to compensate for damage from the spill a “shakedown”. This apology was a horrid utterance by a man who [...]
America Deserves the Apology…Not BP
BP is deserving of no apology; the real apology, should be to the American people. What is the real “shakedown” are the actions taken by the Obama Administration in order to milk whatever they can get from the BP spill aftermath. While they are happily having speeches cloaked in actions toward BP when in reality [...]
In New York: Whites Get One Vote, ‘Hispanics’ Get 6 Each
To pile onto the story Van talked about the other day… Well, a federal judge has “fixed” Port Chester, New York’s “broken” electoral system by giving every Hispanic voter six votes to each white voter’s one. See. Isn’t that much better? It’s wonderful when the feds can come into a community and make everything all [...]

Renee Ellmers Vs. Bob Etheridge: The Campaign Video
I have to admit: I’m starting to take a real shine to Renee Ellmers. That’s not just because she’s a NC candidate or because her opponent, Bob Etheridge, comes across like a violent lunatic. It’s not even because she did a guest post for RWN back in May and gave her first written response to [...]

Exclusive To Right Wing News: Bob Etheridge’s Opponent, Renee Ellmers, Responds To His Assault On A Student Film Crew
As many of you are no doubt aware, Democratic Congressman Bob Etheridge is in the news for assaulting a student who asked him a question. Here’s the video of the incident that’s turning up all over the place.
Etheridge has already issued an apology for his odd and violent behavior.
I have seen the video posted on [...]
Our ‘Unions are Bad for America’ Theme is Resonating
For those of you that have come to the blog often, there is a constant theme: unions are antithetical to good government. We’ve been saying this here for years, of course, but over this campaign season I think that meme is beginning to gain real traction because stories echoing this sentiment are everywhere these days.
Jay [...]
McConnell for Colorado: He Loves Guns and The U.S.A…. not so big on the U.N. (Video)
I have to say, I find it somewhat amazing to see the sort of campaign videos we’ve been seeing of late. They are hard-nosed, straight-forward, REAL American styled campaign spots. I can’t imagine any time in our past when such hard-core American sentiment would have been evident in campaign commercials like this.
Here is one for [...]
Black SC pol: Greene May Have Won Dem Primary ‘Because He Is Black’
The clueless SC Democrat machine continues to try and make excuses for how the unknown Alvin Greene got chosen as their US Senate nominee, in spite of the fact that Greene didn’t have any campaign contributions and did no campaigning:
What also mystified Democrats across the state is how Greene managed to win without campaigning.

A Rundown Of Yesterday’s Big Election Results.
First off, in California, it was not a great day for conservatives although happily, down the ticket, birther queen Orly Taitz was trounced by Damon Dunn for Secretary of State. That’s the good news.
On the other hand, Meg Whitman soundly beat Steve Poizner for governor of California, 64% to 27%. I really don’t like Meg [...]
‘Party of the People’ Hides from Them
Remember those hoary days of yesteryear, those days when Democrats puffed themselves up as “the party of the people,” of that “party of the common man”? Flash forward to 2010 and we find that those stalwart homespun congressmen, born of the people have set a policy to avoid those “people,” the voters, at all costs. [...]

We Need Less Partisanship? Bah, We Need MORE of it!
Last weekend I attended a townhall meeting held by my congressman. During the question and answer period one theme came to the fore that is all too common in America today. That theme was that we need less “partisanship” in Washington D.C., there is too much choosing of sides, too much party politics. Blah, blah, [...]

New NC Union-Based Political Party Fails to Get Enough Petition Signatures
Back in April we reported that unions in North Carolina banded together to try and start their own political party (as if the Democrats weren’t in thrall to them anyway). Well we are happy to report that the new North Carolina Families First Party failed to get the required number of petition signatures to authorize [...]
Barber Makes AL-2 GOP Runoff
Tea Party candidate Rick Barber was outspent 7-to-1 by the GOP establishment’s choice Martha Roby in Alabama’s 2nd District Republican primary but was able to force the Montgomery councilwoman to a runoff.
Roby got 48 percent in Tuesday’s primary — less than the majority needed to avoid a July 13 runoff — while Barber got 28 [...]

Gay Blogger Claims Mark Kirk (R, IL) Told Him He’s Gay
Michael Rogers has made an unsavory name for himself “outing” gay politicians. Today he has targeted for his next “outing” operation GOP Illinois Senate candidate Congressman Mark Kirk. It’s something Rogers says he’s known since 2004.
Why has Rogers waited some six years to “out” Kirk? Because, Rogers says, Kirk recently announced his support for [...]
The Generic Ballot Numbers Point To Democratic Devastation In November
Typically, if you ask the public whether they’d prefer a Democrat or Republican in office, they tend to say they prefer Democrats. Now, those numbers don’t quite translate at the polls because Republican voters are more likely to vote. That’s why, for example, a poll of adults always looks several points better for the Democrats [...]
Bubba Playing the Anti-Union Card?
Could it be? Could Bill Clinton be supporting a candidate because that candidate is not the union choice? Well, apparently Hell hath frozen over because your favorite lip-biting president and mine… OK, not our favorite, but you know… appeared at a fund raising event for Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln and said he supports her because [...]
IRS Asked to Review Unions’ Political Donations
The Washington Times is reporting that the Landmark Legal Foundation is requesting that the Internal Revenue Service review all the millions being spent by Big Labor on Democrat political campaigns during the 2010 midterm elections.
As we discussed earlier this week, Big Labor is spending at least $100 million on the upcoming elections — actually even [...]
Tea Party Pushes Idaho Dark Horse Republican to a Primary Win?
State lawmaker Raul Labrador beat party establishment pick Vaughn Ward to win the Republican nomination for U.S. Representative for Idaho’s 1st District this week. While Ward was supported by the national party, Labrador received the support of Idaho’s largest Tea Party Group, Tea Party Boise. The question that immediately comes to mind is just what [...]
SBA List Will Back Fiorina in California
The powerful pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List has just announced a $215,000 independent expenditure campaign “highlighting the strong pro-life stance of California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina.” The campaign leading up to the June 8 California primary will involve “aggressive online advertising and e-mail campaign, targeted calls to 600,000 registered voters and direct fundraising from [...]
A Very Quick & Cursory Competitive Senate Seat Rundown For The Dems: 13 Seats In Play?
As the year has gone by it’s amazing how many Democratic seats have legitimately moved into play.
Joe Biden’s seat in Delaware looks like a goner. So does Byron Dorgan’s seat in North Dakota. Harry Reid is in a lot of trouble in Nevada. Blanche Lincoln’s seat is deeply endangered. Evan Bayh’s seat, which would have [...]
Rep. Jesse Jackson Endorsing Republican Mark Kirk?
The final answer is, “no,” Chicago-based Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. is not endorsing a Republican to take Barack Obama’s old Illinois U.S. Senate seat. But Jackson is making news by seeming to be toying with the idea of abandoning the troubled Democrat candidate, Alexi Giannoulias.
And, in the end, that’s all this is. It’s Jesse Jackson, [...]
A Tale of Two Book Banners: Palin Ripped, Kagan Excused
Comparisons are always a great way to show how differently the Old Media treats conservative and leftist politicians in America today and Obama’s nomination of the Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court gives us another opportunity to see the Old Media’s penchant to excoriate a Republican’s actions while soft peddling and excusing away similar [...]
Old Media: Democrats = Moderate, Republicans = Extremist
It is interesting to see how the Old Media constantly spins American politics, but one thing underlies the media’s conception about current events. The Old Media’s base assumption is that the left is “moderate” but all on the right are “far right.” This concept serves as the benchmark for almost every single analysis of American [...]
VIDEO: A Mosque at Ground Zero?
Another great ad from Alabama, this one from 2nd District Republican candidate Rick Barber:
Excerpts:

Obama’s Hawaii Home Now Represented by a Republican
For the first time in nearly 20 years, Hawaii’s First Congressional District will be represented by a Republican. Charles Djou has won the special election to take the seat that lies in the same district in which President Obama’s Hawaiian home sits.

NPR Tries to Cast Rand Paul as KKK Sympathizer
On the day after his historic primary win, National Public Radio rabidly went after Rand Paul, newly minted GOP nominee for Kentucky Senator, trying to make him out to be a KKK sympathizer or perhaps a racist that would have agreed to keep Jim Crow alive and well in 1964. This rabid, left-wing attack is [...]
Black Panther Thug on Philadelphia Ballot
Philadelphia voters had better get used to the intimidating presence of Black Panther goon Jerry Jackson Jr. at the polls. Here he is with his colleague King Samir Shabazz in 2008:
Via Big Government, here’s his name on the ballot for the Ward Executive Committee (in the Democrat column, of course):
Jackson and Shabazz were indicted for [...]
Pundits Missed that Illinois Started Tea Party/Anti-Establishment Primary Revolt
Political pundits and poll watchers all across the nation are abuzz with the “tea party win” of Rand Paul, winner of the Kentucky primary for U.S. Senator. Mr. Paul was not the party favored candidate but was supported by Kentucky’s Tea Party movement and this is being hailed as something of a first, an example [...]
Media Lets Conn. Dem Slide on Vietnam Lies for Three Decades
Ahead of multiple ethics violations Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd is retiring from his long-time Democrat held seat. The Conn. Democrat Party is keen to keep that seat and has proffered Conn. Attorney General Richard Blumenthal as the man to do it for them. But, Blumenthal has a tiny little problem: for three decades he’s told [...]
Fake Mich. ‘Tea Party’: Another Example of How Democrats Fight Dirty
Every Democrat I know likes to act as if it were the GOP that fights dirty. Of course, every time I ask them for an example they just stare back blankly at me — I know, it’s their normal state, but this question gets particular blankness. On the other hand, I can give reams of [...]
Report: May 12, 2010 Sarah Palin In Chicago
In the deep blue sea of the People’s Republic of Chicagoland, Sarah Palin shined like a light of liberty among the darkness of Mayor Richard “King” Daley’s perverse domain. Palin brought hope into the home of President Obama’s cynical “Chicago Way” style of politics, and I was there to witness the May 12 show.
Sarah Palin [...]
4 Reasons Why Crist Will Lose
It’s always dangerous to get close to a backstabber. The news that Charlie Crist won’t refund contributions he received from Republican donors inspired me to explain why Crist’s independent campaign is doomed:
Crist will get no more Republican money. Fundraising is crucial to politics, and there are no direct-mail lists of “raging moderates” who will donate [...]
Republican Leads to Take Obama’s Old Senate Seat, Could ALL The Dem Leaders Fall?
Rasmussen is reporting that GOP candidate Mark Kirk is currently leading Democrat Alexi “the Mob Banker” Giannoulias in the race for Barack Obama’s Illinois Senate seat but his isn’t the only one.
Kirk now attracts 46% support in Illinois’ race for the U.S. Senate, up from 41% in early April. Support for Giannoulias is at 38%, [...]
David Obey Drops Out of Re-Election Race; Hoping for His 72 Virgins?
And yet another Democrat, who threw himself on the proverbial grenade by voting for the health care bill, drops out. David Obey (D-WI) is the latest health care suicide bomber to call it quits. I just hope he’s not expecting 72 virgins. This is particularly painful for the Democrats, since Obey’s [...]

That’s what happens when you run as an “NPA” (No Party Affiliation). Via CNN (h/t: @mattklewis):
According to the Florida Secretary of State’s office, the order that candidates are listed on the state’s ballot is predetermined by law. The winner of the Republican primary will receive top billing, followed by the winner of the Democratic [...]
PA12: Republican Tim Burns Fights the Pork-Barrel Political Legacy of Jack Murtha
There’s a special election May 18 in Pennsylvania’s 12th District for a House seat formerly held by the late Jack Murtha. Republican Tim Burns is in a neck-and-neck fight with Democrat Mark Critz, a Murtha aide who specializes in pork-barrel earmarks. Charlie Cook recently switched this race from “toss-up” to “lean Republican.” Burns has been [...]
Recession Will Soon Hit Home for Dems
There is some justice in the world. The economic slump is going to be putting a few more people out of work in November — namely the Democrats who caused it by forcing banks to make race-based loans and resisting Republican attempts to rein in Fanny & Freddy until the entire housing market had [...]
Republican Governors Association Video: Remember November
I was going to submit this without comment, because the video speaks for itself. However, it appears that the video is even more effective than I first thought. Allahpundit at Hot Air notes that Time Magazine (I know. I was surprised to learn that it’s still in publication, too) is already [...]
Special Report: A Briefing On All The Key Republican Senate Primaries
This year there is a surprising number of competitive Republican primaries. All in all, that’s a good thing because it gets more Republicans involved, it makes the establishment Republicans respect the base, and it encourages Republicans in D.C. to pay close attention to their constituents.
That being said, at the end of the day, if we’re [...]
Those Delusional ‘Coffee Party’ Lefties
The self-delusional world in which liberals wallow truly is amazing. It takes an Olympic gymnast’s level of agility to warp your logic enough to think like one of them and a recent report on the left-wing blather site Newsvine is yet one more example of the backbreaking contortions that liberals must indulge to make themselves [...]
A “Take Murtha’s Seat” Moneybomb
The biggest race in America next month is going be Tim Burns (R) vs. Mark Critz (D) for “John Murtha’s seat.” Burns is a solid conservative who’s come out in favor of repealing Obama’s health care reform.
It’s also worth noting that he’s winning. The latest numbers from Public Policy Polling look good:
Buoyed by an electorate [...]
Rahm Emanuel: ‘I Would Like to Run for Mayor of Chicago’
On PBS’ Charlie Rose show, Rahm Emanuel finally admitted what has been rumored in hushed voices throughout the city of Chicago: He wants to run for Mayor.
Emanuel told host Rose that if Mayor Daley decides not to run again, he would like to throw his own hat in the ring and run for the big [...]

Kerry Picket of the Washington Times found two amusing videos of California Senator Barbara Boxer, one in 2009 and one from this month, that shows the sad state of affairs in which Democrats find themselves politically these days.
In 2009, Boxer was warning about those dangerous “well dressed” angry mobs that make up the tea [...]

Mitt Romney Wrote the Obamacare Book
It looks like Mitt Romney is trying to be the GOP front runner for 2012. But he is one of the main influences for Obama’s socialist takeover of America’s healthcare system. Watch this video and remind yourself why we need to eliminate Mitt Romney from any possibility for being the GOP nominee for President in [...]
Sam Adams, Andrew Breitbart, and Me: The Third Annual Sammies Awards, a Report
The Sam Adams Alliance, a free-market think tank that specializes in encouraging new media, held its third annual Sammies awards in beautiful downtown Chicago last Friday, April 16. This year the event hosted a visit by the Wall Street Journal’s John Fund and featured a keynote address by media maven Andrew Breitbart. And somewhere in [...]
First It Was “Kennedy’s Seat.” Is “Murtha’s Seat” Next?
Things are looking up for Tim Burns, whom I interviewed a couple of weeks ago.
As you may remember, Tim Burns is going up against Mark Critz, John Murtha’s former Chief of Staff, in a May 18th special election.
Murtha’s old district is +5 Democratic, but that’s a bit deceptive since the Democrats there are fairly middle-of-the-road. [...]
Partying Like It’s 1994—Or 1946?
Restoring the economic growth of 1994 through 2006 and ending “The Great Recession” — an economy being dragged to a sclerotic halt by “the New New Deal” and its myriad of wasteful spending and top-down government controls, can and should be one of the goals of the next Congress, if indeed, the map is painted red in November.
Indiana Right to Life Realizes No Such Thing As a Pro-Life Democrat
Indiana Right to Life PAC just announced that they are now barring the endorsement of Democratic candidates.

GOProud: A Press Release That Conservatives Can Believe In
I’ve been a supporter of GOProud, the group for gay conservatives that broke off from the bogus Log Cabin Republicans.

Ohio’s Rep. Kaptur: Coward of The County (Vote Rich Iott)
Ohio Representative Marcy Kaptur voted yes on the socialist take over of our nation’s helathcare system. She then proudly announced that she’d hold a healthcare townhall back home in Ohio over the break.
But then she canceled it. Why? Because she got wind of the fact that a few tea party folks from her district didn’t [...]
Illinois Rep. Halvorson: Tea Partiers are ‘Fringe’
Attention citizens of Illinois 11th Congressional District. If you have attended a Tea Party event or are inclined to support them YOU are a “fringe” element according to your Representative, Debbie Halvorson.
Halvosron’s office told CBS News Channel 2 in Chicago, “The voters in the 11th District are not easily influenced by the rhetoric of fringe [...]
In The Future, Everyone Will Be A Klansman For 15 Minutes
In 2008, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) was smeared as a Klansman by his opponent. That didn't stop Cohen for dusting off the smear this past week -- along with namedropping Kristallnacht -- against the Tea Partiers.
The New Ill. Dem. Lt. Gov. Candidate’s Anti-Catholic Song
For those of you still wondering what sort of tangled mess that is Obama’s Illinois… On March 27, Jeff Finley of the Pioneer Press made an interesting discovery when looking up info on the Democrat’s new pick for Lt. Governor, Sheila Simon. Apparently Sheila’s 5-piece, all-girl band named the Loose Gravel Girls has an anti-Catholic, [...]

Most Awesome Billboard: Obama Worse Than Carter
Image courtesy of storyballoon.org
Poor Jimmy Carter, bless his bitter, old, anti-semitic heart. President Barack Obama has totally stolen his thunder. First, Obama had to horn in on Carter’s “I received a completely unwarranted Nobel Peace Prize” mantle. Now, this! What does Carter have left now? A few rancid cases of Billy Beer?

Senator Tom Coburn Kicks You Know What
I’ll say he kicks “arse” so as to make it fancy pants, as befitting one who is made totally of awesome.
Switch your vote in exchange for some cushy appointment, as is the Chicago Way? Guess again. The Oklahoma Way will stop you.
“I want to send a couple messages to my colleagues in the [...]
Does The ‘Shell’ Health Care Bill Have Any Teeth? Dead Sister’s or Otherwise?
(Originally posted at RedState)
The short answer is: Do not trust. And verify.
Upon the release of the ’shell’ 2,300 page reconciliation health care bill, which includes a public option, immediately some started issuing calls to calm down, that it’s a shell bill that will allegedly be stripped by [...]

3rd Annual AFP Defending the Amer. Dream Summit, Wisconsin – Opening Festivities
I am here in Beautiful Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin for the AFP Defending the American Dream Summit… or I assume it’ll be beautiful once the drab days of Winter are over, anyway. I haven’t been to the Dells since about 1973, so things have changed a tad since I was last here.

Nancy Pelosi’s ‘Tell’
Nancy Pelosi proves that it is possible to give “tells”, even if your face can’t move and you are an accomplished liar. First, the “she made an utter fool of herself” part, because any chance to point and snicker at Pelosi is A-Okay with me. While giving a speech to the [...]

If Harry Reid’s Ivory Tower isn’t padded, it should be, because he is cuckoo pants. I submit as exhibit A:

Illinois Rep. Halvorson’s $60,000 of Dirty Rangel Money
First-term Democratic Congressman Debbie Halvorson (Ill., 14th District) was the recipient of $60,000 in political donations from the ethically compromised New York Representative Charlie Rangel, recently deposed Chairmen of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Rangel was found guilty of multiple violations of House ethics rules that have gone on for decades and because of the [...]
Tea Party ‘Extremists’ Take Center Stage
The liberal media’s newest meme is to claim that the tea party movement is made up exclusively of John Birchers, militia types, racists, and “birthers.” Politico, for instance, had an extensive story about how legitimate conservatives are coming to realize that they’ll have to conduct a Buckley styled purge of the extremists if they expect [...]
Rangel Wrangling
Some news outlets are reporting that the ever corrupt Charlie Rangel (D-NY) will be stepping down as chairman of the Ways and Means committee.

AP: Unions Stymied Under Obama?

The American Spectator’s Florida-based correspondent Larry Thornberry:
TAMPA – “Moderate” Florida governor Charlie Crist’s Senate campaign is circling the drain. And it’s mostly his own fault.

One-time adviser to President Jimmy Carter and longtime political strategist for the left, Caddell isn’t someone you throw off a campaign easily.
