The Other McCain

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

When Hope Is the Hardest Thing

When you really get your butt kicked, the way we got our butt kicked last night, the post-defeat depression is very real. Having spent the past week blogging almost non-stop about this ObamaCare cramdown, I’m as bummed out as anybody. And yet good came out of it, because truth was revealed. I hope no conservative henceforth […]

RAMMING SPEED! Democrats Prepare for ‘Really Stupid and Futile Gesture’

From my latest American Spectator column: Does anyone else remember what happened Jan. 19? Did anyone else watch the confetti fly and hear the band play in the ballroom of Boston’s Park Plaza Hotel two months ago? Or was the election of a Republican to the Senate seat held for more than four decades by […]

‘Money, Money, Money’

From my latest American Spectator column:  A perception that the GOP establishment routinely rigs primaries in favor of the well-financed and well-connected is widespread among grassroots conservatives. Disillusioned by the political equivalent of insider trading, some idealistic Republicans are tempted to walk away from active participation in GOP politics, which would leave the party infrastructure […]

Who Is Jon Scott Ashjian?

We know that he owes $200,000 in back taxes. We know that his “Tea Party” candidacy is Harry Reid’s only hope for re-election. There are many questions being asked in Nevada: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is facing Republican accusations that he’s behind the emergence of a third-party Tea Party candidate on the ballot who […]

Perry said his win should send a message to Washington. “Quit spending all the […]

The Manchurian Maverick: John McCain Claims Bailout ‘Brainwash’ Victimhood

“Barbara Espinosa must be doing a victory lap right now,” Da Tech Guy writes in reporting on how MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” battered John McCain today for claiming former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke  “misled” him into supporting the 2008 Wall Street bailout. Remember that on Sept. 24, 2008 — the day Crazy […]

Charlie Crist Opens Mouth, Inserts Foot

Again. The headline says it all: Crist says he would not scrap Dem health care reform, can’t identify part worth keeping Trying to turn “bipartisan” and “moderate” into a matter of political principle is a losing game, because it means that voters are never really sure where you stand. Crist’s GOP primary opponent Marco Rubio […]

Arizona’s New Motto: The Birther State

Remember last week when John McCain attacked J.D. Hayworth with an ad accusing Hayworth of being a birther? That may actually help Hayworth in the GOP primary, as Paul Craft explains: McCain has vocally opposed the birther movement since his 2008 presidential bid. His renewed criticism of the movement may endear McCain to Arizona moderates […]
