It seems like eons ago, but actually it was only December 2008, when I examined the proposed neo-Keynesian economic agenda of the ascendant Democrats and said, “It Won’t Work.” Obamanomics is still not working and a new blog points out that, in the case of our president, persistence is more vice that virtue: Obama gave a […]

Obama Cut Your Taxes, and Other Lies Frank Rich Wants You to Believe In

You’ve got to marvel at the effrontery of the man: President Obama, the Rodney Dangerfield of 2010, gets no respect for averting another Great Depression, for saving 3.3 million jobs with stimulus spending, or for salvaging GM and Chrysler from the junkyard. And none of these good deeds, no matter how substantial, will go unpunished […]

President’s Cousin Devastates BHO’s Centerpiece Legislation

by Smitty The doctor has weighed in.

My opponent is typical. The obvious slam here is the attack on […]

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 […]

Democrat Demolition Demonstrated

by Smitty (via Dr. Melissa) Frank J. delivers the imagery: So the Democrats sucked. But not just plain old, usual politician sucked, but epic levels of suck where it’s hard to find an analogue in human history that conveys the same level of suckitude. It was sheer incompetence plus arrogance — and those things do […]
