We Are Republicans

This video was shown at a closed meeting in DC at the Google Headquarters by members of rebuild the party. There was no advance notice of this meeting, and I hope that it does not signal that Rebuild the Party has been captured by the elite Washington insiders.Note: The commentary provided by me, Mohican32, does not necessarily reflect that of the owner of this blog, Thunder pig. Since he gave me the keys and said, " Go to it."So I am. And I am asking if we will have full video and audio feeds from that meeting? I am very mistrustful...

Civitas Institute Finds Burr, Challengers Relatively Unknown in North Carolina

Here are the take-away numbers:“While Senator Burr enjoys a slightly higher overall favorable rating than the other two, none of the three potential candidates are widely known among the electorate,” said Francis De Luca, executive director of the Civitas Institute. “Congressman Shuler is a virtual unknown outside of his district in Western N.C.”Current N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper and US Congressman Heath Shuler are among the two most publicly...

Rush Limbaugh Fills GOP's Leadership Void; Obama Knows It, As Do Conservatives: Let's Make It Official

Brian Maloney, of Radio Equalizer, has an interesting piece on the emerging war of words that President Obama has launched on the chief proponent of conservatism in America today, radio host, Rush Limbaugh. Why should President Obama single out Rush Limbaugh as Public Enemy Number One of his administration? Because there is no coherent leadership in the current crop of elected US Senate or US House of Representatives. Nor, sadly enough, in the RNC Leadership as currently elected. Rush Limbaugh also has more influence on the conservative...

Republican Senators Under Suspicion

Republicans senators voting for Geitner's confirmation were; Bob Corker (Tennessee), John Cornyn (Texas), Mike Crapo (Idaho), John Ensign (Nevada), Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), Judd Gregg (New Hampshire), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Richard Shelby (Alabama), Olympia Snowe (Maine), and George Voinovich (Ohio).These are among the chief suspects when Senate Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid wants to secure a filibuster-proof vote. I am very surprised that Senator John McCain was not in their number...The grassroots in the Republican party have a long...

Anonymous Attack On RNC Chair Candidate Uses Fake Newspaper Cover

“RNC Chooses Whites Only Chairman,” the headline blares. The subheds: “White House Rejoices With GOP Selection.” And: “GOP Leaders and Independent Voters Upset.” The “front page” does specify that it’s a “parody.” The idea, obviously, is to hit Dawson by pointing out that electing someone who was a member of a whites only club as the new public face of the GOP won’t exactly help the party counter charges that it’s become a southern regional party...
