Commentary by Dick Young Today Gallup announced that the GOP is ahead by an 18-point margin among likely voters in a low turn out environment. My guess is that conservatives will be showing up to the polls en masse this year, while liberals will continue to wonder why the voted for Barack Obama, who has […]
Battle for the Senate
Battle for the Senate – Dick Young Americans are staring down the barrel of a serious lame-duck session of Congress coming after the November elections. Jim DeMint calls it the “Fired Congress,” and wants to bar it from hiking up the size of government. DeMint is arguing for legislation that would prohibit lame-duck Democrats and […]
Pennsylvanians to Clean House
Commentary by Dick Young John Gizzi of Human Events reports that polls of elections for six House seats held by Democrats in Pennsylvania are currently being led by Republicans. Taking those seats away from the Nancy Pelosi liberal bloc is essential for conservative success in the House. In the 11th District, Congressman Paul Kanjorski, whose […]
Tea Party Furor
Commentary by Dick Young on The Twister of 2010 by Peggy Noonan, The Wall Street Journal The president is already trying to place the blame for the Democratic disaster of 2010 on the “hippie” segment of the party.

Congress Already Took a Pledge
Commentary by E.J. Smith There isn’t any doubt the government is off course. But the GOP’s 22 page “A Pledge to America” comes off like something put together during a weekend corporate retreat. A lot of kumbaya collaboration away from the pressures of the real world. And like many a retreat the idealism quickly falls […]
Pledge to America
Commentary by Dick Young I urge you all to read the draft version of the GOP’s new Pledge to America, a redux of sorts of the Contract to America offered by the GOP in 1994. Some parts of the pledge are good, some are very good, and some things are missing from the document that […]
