Human Events.comWhen the Establishment Hates a Right Wing Candidate

Approximately once every four years, the media establishment and certain “moderates” in the Republican Party decide to destroy a conservative candidate. They sharpen their blades and their tongues and they go into action, armed with the conviction that the vitriol of their pens will wither away the candidate’s reputation and potential. …

Bob-Ainsworth_1502650c[1]Britain Attacks Obama’s War Delay

Bob Ainsworth, the defence secretary, has blamed Barack Obama and the United States for the decline in British public support for the war in Afghanistan.

Mr Ainsworth took the unprecedented step of publicly criticising the US President and his delays in sending more troops to bolster the mission against the Taliban.

A “period of hiatus” in Washington – and a lack of clear direction – had made it harder for ministers to persuade the British public to go on backing the Afghan mission in the face of a rising death toll, he said.

Senior British Government sources have become increasingly frustrated with Mr Obama’s “dithering” on Afghanistan, the Daily Telegraph disclosed earlier this month, with several former British defence chiefs echoing the concerns….

Video: Yes We Can – Re-Establish Conservatism

Newt Gingrich vs Palin, Santorum and LimbaughRe-Establish Conservatism

Real Conservatives who hold true to their values like Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum and Rush Limbaugh are endorsing the Independent/Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman in New York’s 23 district, while Republican rinos like Newt Gingrich are endorsing the liberal (ACORN endorsed) Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava.

Doug Hoffman -- The Real Republican

Rick Santorum:

[...]

“Never in a general election have I endorsed the candidate who ran against the party’s nominee, but in this race, Doug Hoffman is the real Republican and more in line with the Republican Party of the district,” said Senator Santorum. “Unfortunately, the endorsed Republican has flip flopped with regularity on high profile issues and is well outside the mainstream of even the moderate wing of our party. But what impacted my decision the most was on the question of who could best hold that seat at this critical time where every vote in the House will make a difference on issues like healthcare, global warming and EFCA. There is no question – that is Doug Hoffman”

Sarah Palin:

[...]

I am very pleased to announce my support for Doug Hoffman in his fight to be the next Representative from New York’s 23rd Congressional district….

[...]

And best of all, Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine.

Doug Hoffman stands for the principles that all Republicans should share: smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to individual liberty.

Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of “blurring the lines” between parties was not an appropriate way to win elections. Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. This is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party’s ticket.

Republicans and conservatives around the country are sending an important message to the Republican establishment in their outstanding grassroots support for Doug Hoffman:
[...]

Glenn Beck Radio

Glenn Beck on his radio show said that the Democrat in this race has been endorsed by SEIU while the Republican Dede Scozzafava has been endorsed by, hold on to your seat,  ACORN.

Newt Gingrich’s Pathetic Explanation
vs Rush Limbaugh’s Response

In the video below is Newt’s pathetic explanation of his endorsement for Dede followed with Rush Limbaugh’s response.

Here Gingrich snarks that conservatives who object to backing radical leftists don’t think Reagan was conservative enough. There he goes again:

It’s war!

GOP establishment prepares for battle against grassroots base.
Hoffman Leads by 5 Points

Doug Hoffman leads by 5 Points

The UN-winnable conservative Doug Hoffman is now winning.

I thought Newt said Hoffman couldn’t win and that a vote for Hoffman would be a vote for the Democrat???  I guess principles and values do matter to America.
Working Families - ACORN Front Group

Audacious Scheme To Violate The Law

Newt Gingrich-endorsed radical leftist Dede Scozzafava has embraced on multiple occasions The Working Families Party, an ACORN front group now engaged in “an audacious scheme to violate the law” and help the party’s favored political candidates get elected.

A Better Plan

Posted by Chuck in Economy, ObamaCare on August 7, 2009

Following from Townhall:

charleskrauthammerIn 1986, Ronald Reagan and Bill Bradley created a legislative miracle. They fashioned a tax reform that stripped loopholes, political favors, payoffs, patronage and other corruptions out of the tax system. With the resulting savings, they lowered tax rates across the board. Those reductions, combined with the elimination of the enormous inefficiencies and perverse incentives that go into tax sheltering, helped propel a 20-year economic boom.

In overhauling any segment of our economy, the 1986 tax reform should be the model. Yet today’s ruling Democrats propose to fix our extremely high quality (but inefficient and therefore expensive) health care system with 1,000 pages of additional curlicued complexity — employer mandates, individual mandates, insurance company mandates, allocation formulas, political payoffs and myriad other conjured regulations and interventions — with the promise that this massive concoction will lower costs.

This is all quite mad. It creates a Rube Goldberg system that simply multiplies the current inefficiencies and arbitrariness, thus producing staggering deficits with less choice and lower-quality care. That’s why the administration can’t sell Obamacare.

Americans becoming more conservative

Posted by Chuck in News on July 31, 2009

From Gallup Poll:

“Despite the results of the 2008 presidential election, Americans, by a 2-to-1 margin, say their political views in recent years have become more conservative rather than more liberal, 39% to 18%, with 42% saying they have not changed. While independents and Democrats most often say their views haven’t changed, more members of all three major partisan groups indicate that their views have shifted to the right rather than to the left.”

And The Award Goes To Foxnews

Posted by Chuck in News on November 9, 2008

Sarah Palin displays her savvy

As media outlets across the country scrambled to get the first interview with Sarah Palin since the campaign — by accepting offers from Foxnews she once again out maneuvers the dimwitted McCain who couldn’t figure out his friends from his enemies.  I doubt we will ever see Sarah Palin slapping conservatives in the face as has been McCain’s favorite pastime.

 FOX News’ Van Susteren Scores First Post-Election Interview With Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin will sit down for her first post-election interview with FOX News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren.

Van Susteren will be traveling to Alaska for an extensive interview with the state’s governor, which will air Monday at 10 p.m. ET on the FOX News Channel.

Fox News beat out several other networks to be the first to talk with Palin after her failed vice presidential bid, including requests by Barbara Walters, Oprah Winfrey, Larry King and others.

Palin is coming off a whirlwind nine weeks of almost nonstop travel and campaigning since becoming  John McCain’s running mate in late August. The governor has returned to her home state, where she said she is looking forward to getting back to her day job.  

In recent days, she has been facing a hail of criticism from some former McCain campaign staffers who say that she was misinformed about several foreign affairs issues and was at odds with McCain strategists.
