Good Primary Day for Conservatives
2008-06-05 01:37:00 No. Not in New Jersey. But in California and New Mexico, the establishment hand-picked candidates lost to the more principled, conservative candidate.

Conservatives Mistreating Bush & the McClellan Betrayal
2008-05-30 05:14:00 IT WILL HAUNT THEMI think one of the saddest things I’ve seen in quite awhile is this book by Scott McClellan. It is tragic. There is no happy ending for this story, none. Scott McClellan, unless he becomes a vast left wing nut, is finished. He has betrayed people who were good and decent to him. He’s burned his Republican bridges, but from what I hear from Michael Medved’s broadcasts, his mother detests GWB and the GOP, has gone third party. His father is a disbarred Texas attorney. I am sick and tired of Republicans Bush-bashing. Once again we ...

Non Republican Conservatives Are Causing Problems for the GOP
2008-05-19 21:26:00 THE INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY OF THE FAR RIGHTThis is yet another in the series I am doing on how non Republican conservatives are destroying the GOP. The past part looked at the sources of the problem. Today we examine how pervasive the problem is. This is another of those pieces where I've been working on for several weeks. The most important lesson we can take to the ballot box this political season is the fact that there is an energized conservative movement that is completely independent of the GOP. They are made up of several factions I will detail below. ...
Conservatives - 20 point lead in Sunday Times YouGov Poll
2008-05-17 18:09:00 From the Sunday Times: The latest YouGov poll for the Sunday Times makes depressing reading for Gordon Brown ahead of the coming week?s key by-election test in Crewe & Nantwich. The Tories have a 20-point national poll lead, up from 16 a month ago. Labour is on just 25% of the vote (down 2), with the Tories at 45% (up 2) and the Liberal Democrats on 18%, also up 2. David Cameron is beginning to move towards the kind of poll leads that Tony Blair enjoyed before his landslide victory in 1997. What I'm pleased to see from this Poll is that Gordon Brown's tax bribe failed to come off - 47% say it was a cynical ploy ahead of the by-election. 69% of voters say Brown is not up to the job and 59% say he should step down before the next election. Any of the cheering Labour MPs at Darling's tax announcement last week will not be too happy today. The people have seen through them.

Why I Am Annoyed with Conservatives

My conservative values have NEVER changed – except for my views on capital punishment. I was for it, but then when I really began thinking about the pro-life implications, I cannot support it. I do not believe in taking a person’s life – no matter who. My only exception is for treason and then just shoot ‘em where they stand. This is the only thing about my conservative views that has changed. I want ...

Proving Hard Core Conservatives Wrong on Hispanics
2008-05-09 00:44:00 THE HISPANIC REPUBLICAN VOTERubin Navarrette has a PJ Media piece about the Mexican flag. There is a double standard. Anything Mexican is bad – evil, evidently. “…The point is, a lot of Americans look at anyone who waves a Mexican flag as secretly planning to take over the Southwest and hand it to Mexico. But they don’t suggest that anyone waving the Israeli flag - or the Irish flag, or the Italian flag or whatever - has something similar up his sleeve. In those cases, most people are likely to think that the display is harmless and that all ...

Last night, in Louisiana, Republican turned Independent, Ashley Casey, cost the Republicans yet another house seat. If her votes had gone to GOP candidate, Woody Jenkins, Jenkins would have had 50,459 votes to Democrat default winner, "Don" Cazayoux, who had an unofficial 49,702. I don't know if the 757 vote difference would have been enough to avoid a run-off, but it is enough to determine these outcast conservatives can do serious damage to the GOP. There's more: Randall T. Hayes, who received 402 votes is ...
Stealth Conservatives, Not Republican, Against the GOP
2008-05-04 06:21:00 THEY BETRAY THEIR “CONSERVATIVE” IDEALSI think there is this false perception that I do not like conservatives, and have something against them. In a way that is true. I am conservative. The only change I’ve been through in about 20 years of political evolution is the fact that I am now against the death penalty simply because I am so staunchly pro-life. It is rather ludicrous to be against abortion, but yet want to put criminals to death. It just doesn’t work. Other than that, I am as conservative (maybe a little more) as I was when Reagan was ...
