Erickson Must Be Relatively Less Cynical Than Me

by Smitty Erick Erickson seems shocked, SHOCKED! that that GOP is ceding the tempo on the debt ceiling: Now the Democrats want to increase the limit on the national credit card instead of paying down the bill. They want a free pass to more spending. Instead, the Republicans should accept the fact that no matter [...]

Conservatives: Relax About Boehner

by Smitty I’m totally with Red State on this one. No, they shouldn’t. I think John Boehner is more conservative than Eric Cantor, who’d most likely replace him, but Boehner’s leadership has been crap lately. This deal that got us $38.5 billion in cuts, turns out to not only have gotten us $14 billion in [...]

Radiohead State

by Smitty Red State has a rocking good time: For those who don’t get the reference music, it’s Radiohead’s Creep, a song to which I fell in love in 1993 (and out to Metallica “Sad But True” in 1994, to your loss, S). Is the President a creep? No, just the icing on a statist [...]

A Post That Is Not About Net Neutrality

At BlogCon Friday, we went to the Newseum in D.C. for a panel discussion that was supposed to be about politics.

‘Just One Tweet’: Conservative New Media Get Results in Georgia 4th District Story

Readers may remember the headline here Wednesday morning: Obama-Endorsed Rep. Hank Johnson to Participate in Segregated Forum? It was Dan Riehl who tipped me to that story, which originated with a Facebook post from Republican congressional candidate Liz Carter, who had been excluded from an Atlanta political event, the Newsmakers Live forum. Da Tech Guy jumped on the story [...]

Blogging and Incentives, Left and Right

Baseball Crank writes that he has been blogging about politics since 2002 — “RedState wouldn’t be founded until the summer of 2004″ — and relates some history of the ‘sphere: If you have been reading or writing blogs for some time, you may recall the early, heady days of the blogosphere back around 2002-03 . .

Red State’s Erick Erickson Endorses
Rick Barber in AL2 House Race

The Tea Party-backed candidate is added to Erickson’s “Candidates I’m Supporting” list, and Barber’s Web site quotes his statement: “Rick has the support of the grassroots in the district, which we are seeing more and more is going to make the difference in a close race.  It’s not that his opponent is the establishment person.  It’s [...]

Well, At Least I Never Called Justice Souter a ‘Goat-F***ing Child Molester’

NTTAWWT. But the news that Red State is in charge of the Blogger’s Lounge at CPAC inspired a memorable reaction from the unlinkable Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs: RedState.com is in Charge of Bloggers at CPAC Blogosphere | Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 5:29:49 pm PST Redstate.com, home to some of the most extreme [...]
