The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Allen West’s Enemy: Mike Haridopolos?

“America is threatened by many crises, ranging from economic recession to international terrorism, but none of these threats are quite so immediate or so fundamentally hostile to our democratic form of government as the existential menace of Florida.” – Robert Stacy McCain, Sept. 30, 2011 Florida Republican politics is a Byzantine web of intrigue and [...]

When A Conversation You’ve Had Comes Out Of A Different Mouth

by Smitty A lot of this sort of talk in the air of late: “Then came 2011,” Rebecca says, and her mood clouds. “It felt like every time I turned around, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell were selling us out, hanging our Tea Party freshmen out to dry, and doing it for no apparent reason.” [...]

Tea Party Patriots Bringing It March 24th

by Smitty Via email from the Alexandria Tea Party: Tea Party Patriots has obtained permits for the rally on the East Lawn of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. for Saturday, March 24th and for the Supreme Court steps the following Monday through Wednesday when the case will be heard. Can I get a heck, yeah? [...]

Wild Bill Nails It

by Smitty I agree with this guy, his tone, and his positive outlook. The Left wants to project its nihilistic despair on you. Reject that noise. via Theo Spark Update: Nice Deb links us in a great big clip matinee.

The Tea Party Is Going To Rock 2012

by Smitty Mark Mekler makes a fine guest, making the case for the bottom-up strategy, instead of the drop-in, Ross Perot actor. The notion that the restoration of the country is a long-term project is blindingly obvious. However, my gut is that, as things neck down to the August GOP convention, the Tea Partiers are [...]

Stacy McCain Still Shines

by Smitty Marco Rubio is a GOP celebrity whose nod would be a real help in the Florida primary. Legal Insurrection points out that: Neither Romney nor Newt deserve credit for helping launch Rubio. That credit goes to the folks at Not One Red Cent and a handful of other bloggers who started backing Rubio [...]

This Patton Clip May Or May Not Be Something You Need

by Smitty In the following scene, the hard-nosed spirit of American Exceptionalism offers a bit of needed calibration to the Tea Partier: This post may not be for you, but it may be for someone you know. There seems to be a lot of angst these days about this or that candidate, and can they [...]

Election Day Tea Party Wants To Abuse Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

by Smitty It really isn’t fair to debate Ms. Wasserman Schultz on a topic of which she has no knowledge: “Today, we are challenging Ms. Wasserman Schultz to a debate on the Constitution,” said Michael Patrick Leahy, co-coordinator of Election Day Tea Party. “We think the country is ready for direct and civil discourse on [...]

Tea Party vs. GOP

by Smitty I find myself mostly agreeing with this analysis in Canada Free Press: The Tea Party is like a young boxer with great skills and a knockout punch, but with skinny legs: a seemingly unstoppable force in the early rounds, if a wily opponent can just survive his initial dynamism, it will be possible [...]

Shorter Ace: ‘Bitches Lie’

A grossly unfair oversimplification of Ace’s argument? Sure. But in a multi-candidate Republican primary campaign where everybody’s cutting each other to ribbons, who can complain – if anyone even notices – when I gratuitously play the sexism card? And isn’t Ace calling the lady a liar? Michele Bachmann lives in a strange world. People talk about “moral relativism.” [...]

SANTORUM EXPRESS SUNDAY: Conservative Gets Unexpected Endorsement by Tea Party Blogger

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum unexpectedly got a New Media boost Sunday when a top Tea Party blogger endorsed the former Pennsylvania senator. “Santorum shines bright enough above the others that I am not shy about picking him as my candidate of choice,” said Peter Ingemi, the blogger and talk radio host known as “Da [...]

An Article So Excellent You Use A Blog Post As A Sort Of Bookmark For It

by Smitty Yuval Levin at the National Review Online: But the Tea Party has been very unusual for an American populist movement.
