A new George Washington University poll shows that an overwhelming number of Americans believe that the economy is on the wrong track. The poll, conducted in partnership with The Tarrance Group and Lake Research Partners, found that the economy weighs more heavily on the minds of American voters than gridlock in Washington. Twenty-four percent of […]
Justin Amash Thumps the War Dogs
Congratulations to Michigan libertarian, small government, non-intervention champion Justin Amash. Justin powered his way to a 57%-43% victory in his West Michigan primary race. Establishment War Dogs like John Boehner are a little less enthusiastic about Justin’s victory than are Debbie and I and our friends at the small government, non-intervention-based Cato Institute. Justin Amash actually […]
In Support of Justin Amash
The reserved foreign policy stance of Michigan Rep. Justin Amash is anathema to the War Dogs. And in Tuesday’s Michigan primaries, the WDs are out to sink the Amash ship. Michigan voters look ready to give the WDs a good old-fashion whupping. Americans nation wide have awoken to the failed foreign policies of the neocon/interventionists. […]
I Support Justin Amash Rep. Michigan
John Boehner and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, lap dogs of the military industrial complex, want no part of small-government-centric Justin Amash. Justin was the featured speaker/guest at a recent high level Cato Institute conclave. I thought Justin did a wonderful job, as did everyone at Cato. Michigan voters are fortunate to be able to […]
Join the Jihad
Yup, that is just what Barack Obama proposes for America. Has the man learned nothing over his two failed terms in office? Syria poses no threat to America. Syria has not attacked America. And Obama wants to print up $500 million to ostensibly arm and train rebels. Who are the rebels? As Pat Buchanan rightly […]
Did the Establishment GOP Die Last Night?
Debbie and I received this letter from Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks, last night. In it, Kibbe outlines the outrageous behavior of the GOP establishment. Dick and Debbie, Did the establishment GOP die last night? I think so. Let me explain: by now you have already read about the craven tactics employed by self-described “Republican” […]
Establishment Gunning for Amash
Establishment GOP groups are aiming to reverse the Tea Party tide by ousting Rep. Justin Amash in his Grand Rapids, Michigan primary in August. The Wall Street Journal reports that Amash’s constituents are more than happy with the Congressman, but he is up against powerful interests who don’t like his brand of conservative/libertarian politics. Justin […]
Earthquake in Virginia
Despite a huge financial advantage, Eric Cantor lost to David Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College, in the Republican primary for Virginia’s seventh congressional district. Yes, Mr. Brat’s focus was on immigration, but he also hammered away at Eric Cantor on Mr. Cantor’s support of increasing centralization in education (Common Core), crony capitalism, and […]
Cantor Dumped, Boehner Next?
Tea party rebels easily succeeded in ridding the House of Eric Cantor for the coming term. Cantor was squashed in the Virginia primary by little-known tea party-backed college professor David Brat. Let’s hope the tea party can be equally successful this fall in grabbing the House leadership role from corporate crony lackey John Boehner. The […]
Rick Scott for Florida
I have met Governor Scott a couple of times at Cato Institute conclaves. Rick Scott came into office with the goal of helping to bring business to Florida. The governor has absolutely delivered on his promise and in the Florida gubernatorial race is the hands down choice against the insipid, party hopping Charlie Christ. As a […]
