This is a shame. A real shame. Talk about lost opportunity.
Ron Paul had the chance to make this election about what he’s championed most of his career - constitutionally limited government. Instead, he got off on an anti-war tangent which has completely choked off that message.
And it’s not so much […]

And as you see already in Sen. Titus’ comments, the hypocrisy and disinformation coming from opponents will be enough to choke a horse.
Here’s where we […]

About the only consolation Republicans can take from the presidential race right about now is that the Democrats are even more screwed up than they are. Some consolation.

I have a politically incorrect question to ask about race and the Barack Obama race.

Many of you already know who Manny Miranda is. He has been THE leading conservative voice in support of judicial confirmations of Bush appointees and received the Ronald Reagan Award for his efforts at CPAC a couple years back.

Conservatives have been lobbying hard for the Republican leadership (I know, a classic oxymoron) to appoint anti-earmark champion Rep. Jeff Flake to fill the position.

LIBS DON’T PUT MONEY WHERE MOUTHS ARE: “State lawmakers can rule out Virginian’s offering up more of their hard-earned money to fix the $1.4 billion budget shortfall Gov. Tim Kaine announced this week. At least that is what a peek at the so-called ‘Tax Me More Fund’ suggests. Since its inception in […]

While “John Shadegg” is certainly a household name in our house - as it is in the United States House of Representatives - others might not know him. Conservatives should. He’s one of the best, most principled Republicans in Congress today. But he might not be next year, as Rep. Shadegg announced […]
