Sean Bielat: ‘Hey, Thanks. I Guess You Want Me To Build You a Robot, Too?’

Barney Frank must be so disappointed. He did his darnedest to try to win Sarah Palin’s endorsement, but . . . Remember what it was like in January 2010 when Massachusetts shocked the political world?  It’s that time again.  Sean Beilat is running against a Democrat incumbent who has been in government office for over 30 years.  […]

Barney Frank Makes Me Nervous

“[In March 1987], the ABCC [Alien Border Control Committee] had its first notable success. The CIA tipped off the FBI to a group of suspected Palestinian terrorists in Los Angeles. The Bureau arrested eight men. But instead of being lauded, the Bureau and the Agency came under harsh attack from civil liberties groups who argued […]

Nikki Haley Update: Good Fight Worthwhile

by Smitty Jesse Hathaway offers an excellent overview of one of the more sordid examples of Lefty character assassination this campaign season. If it isn’t Sarah Palin it’s Nikki Haley, or Sharron Angle, or Christine O’Donnell, or Carly Fiorina, or Meg Whitman. Thankfully free of a suspicious nature, I’m somehow capable of avoiding the conclusion […]

Please Take Your Poll Numbers and Stick Them Where the Sun Don’t Shine

Having previously discussed combat psychology, let me extend the discussion by saying this: Stop telling me about damned poll numbers! One of the basic things about fighting is, once the fight starts, you forget about the odds of victory. If the odds are in your favor, paying too much attention to poll numbers will only encourage hubristic overconfidence. […]

Staff: The Tea Party Express Bus Tour Is Veering North Of Us This Time
Patrick Murray: Then We Do Our Own

by Smitty The Tea Party Express is rolling through some of the bluest Congressional districts on its fourth trek leading up to the election. What a great job they’ve done the last couple of years, keeping the Tea Party spirit alive. They can’t make it everywhere, though, and let’s face it: Beltway traffic around DC […]

Basic Rule of Politics: Never Lose a Friend By Trying to Placate Your Enemies

When it comes to a fight, the only true measure of a friend is, “Will they fight?” Befriending cowardly punks is a waste of time. Say what you will about Pamela Geller, she has never backed away from a fight. Two weeks ago, the New York Times did a hit piece on Geller that I ignored […]
