Here Is An Argument For The GOP To Articulate

by Smitty Irrespective of the details of the ObamaCare legislation, the ugliness, the kickbacks, the foul propaganda directed against citizens, there is the fact that the spirit of the Constitution has been trampled. Somebody, say, Fred Thompson, needs to cut a brief ad describing how legitimate legislation works, and how this monstrosity has played out. […]

Senator DeMint Invokes John Paul Jones

by Smitty The Battle of Flamborough Head is an important one for partiots in this dark hour, 231 years later. Serapis was the Royal Navy vessel, and the Bonhomme Richard was captained by Jones. Commodore Jones, accepting that if he could not use the 18-pounders he could not win a gun-fight, quickly adopted a policy […]

Repeal And Replace: Balancing Tactics And Strategy

by Smitty ‘Smart Politics‘ claims the carnivorous conservative: Being the party of pointing out problems, without solutions, or simply the party of No is not enough. The GOP has got to bring more to the table than that if they hope to win the health care debate. ‘Oh Boy,’ replies Ace of Spades: The problem […]

So, all of us become […]

They Should’ve Listened to Rush

How Republicans helped Democrats sell ObamaCare: Some Republicans will point the President Obama’s Blair House health care meeting with Republicans as the event that enabled Democrats to get to a point where the Senate health care bill could pass. During the event and immediately afterward, some Republicans were given credit for standing up to the […]

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 […]

‘Kill The Bill’ Live Chat Event

UPDATE: The chat is lots of fun. Stephen Green at VodkaPundit says, “It’s Like Group Therapy for Angry Racist Tea***gers.” He means that as a compliment. UPDATE II: Well, it’s over now, and I’d like to express thanks to our friends at Ui2 for setting this up, to Smitty for his technical work, and to all […]
