demint to obama: you’ve got mail
Have I mentioned lately how much I love Senator DeMint?
Senator Jim DeMint writes to Obama requesting hearings on Afghanistan(pdf here — h/t Sister Toldjah):
Dear Senator Obama,
In the coming days, I understand you will travel to Afghanistan for the first time and visit with a few of our European partners. Like my travels to these regions, [...]
tony snow
Tony Snow has died today due to complications from his colon cancer, Fox News is reporting. This is a sad day for conservatives — who are losing one of the most passionate defenders for conservatism that we could ever have. He was never a politician, even though he worked for Bush 41 and 43. He [...]
congratulations mr. chairman
Get to know the guy in this picture. He’s gonna be a star.
The smiling face you are looking at is the chairman of the York County GOP in South Carolina, Glenn McCall. (My apologies for the quality of the picture.) He was elected on Saturday at the state convention to represent South Carolina Republicans as [...]
go right not left
Believe it or not, there is a Republican left with some credibility on fighting wasteful spending by our Congress — Senator Tom Coburn. Senator Coburn has been consistent in this area, but unfortunately many of his colleagues have refused to follow his lead, and that of other senators like SC’s Jim DeMint. There aren’t enough [...]
this is not good
House Republicans are voting in favor of entitlements and earmarks, and not even trying to resist all these new spending proposals by Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. So says Bob Novak. Maybe it’s fair to blame the Republican leadership for this, although I’m not sure how much they can do, because it’s clear that the [...]
conservative cred
My favorite senator Jim DeMint has it, and he’s willing to help out John McCain. Senator DeMint is the kind of conservative that McCain should pick for VP. We need DeMint where he is now, but someone like him would be awesome as second in line to McCain.
Here he is defending McCain’s health [...]
leave mitt alone
Some social conservatives can’t accept victory. Mitt Romney will not be our next President. They got what they wanted. They won. Seems to me they can’t take yes for an answer. Thanks to their support of anyone but Romney, we are now stuck with McCain. Now a small vocal [...]
mark sanford is now on the record
Mark Sanford, also known as the libertarian/conservative governor of South Carolina, tells conservatives why we should support John McCain in November and work to get him elected. The article is notable in what it doesn’t say. Sanford, like other South Carolina conservatives, has serious problems with McCain’s failed immigration plan, and shares most of the other concerns we have with John [...]
fred is done
Kathryn Lopez writes the obit:
What his campaign may have lacked in organizational luster and ambition it made up for in authenticity and charm. You knew his greatest dream in life wasn’t to be president. You knew he’d be happy living life with his family, advising those who wanted his opinion and expertise, talking federalism with [...]
thanks fred
Huckabee and his people are blaming Fred Thompson for their second-place finish in South Carolina.
Anyone else notice that we aren’t seeing much of that smiley positive Huck lately? Fred took quite a few votes from Huck, and I’m proud to say that I contributed to that effort. It wasn’t enough votes to get into the [...]
