Newt and Geeks

I’ve been busy, so not a lot of posting lately. Ok, no posts. Part of this was the Primaries have caught my attention, and I don’t like any of the candidates. Mostly though, I really have been busy. It turns out I have a company to run. Who knew? However, with Newt’s recent upset in South Carolina, I began to see some hope in the race. Ever since Fred Thompson, I have been waiting for a candidate willing to fight for conservative principles. I was not happy about McCain, but when he selected Sarah Palin, I was ecstatic, hoping finally for a campaign of ideas. A fight. Unfortunately, McCain shut the Palin camp up, and eventually lost while trying to be the nice guy. It is not that conservatives think Newt is our spokesman. He blew that over the past several years with his lack of knowledge on Global Warming, one of the touchstones we use to determine who is really a conservative. I could list other examples, but the point is that Newt has not be ...

Sorry for the lack of recent posts… Work and family come first.

Dancing with the one that brought you.

Many fine folks are peeved with Palin over her announced support for McCain’s reelection campaign. I'm not. McCain brought her to the national spotlight, and dancing with the one that brought you is a sign of a good character. My suggestion for those of you who are upset with Palin over this is to send a donation to both JD Hayworth and to SarahPAC. McCain is already targeting Hayworth with an email blast to his supporters: Unfortunately, J.D. Hayworth has a record of talking like a conservative, but voting like a liberal on fiscal issues. If he had only been half as tough in criticizing Obama, he might have actually won.

Bipartisan Democrats are Extinct

The left is so partisan they can’t even compromise with themselves on their own health bill. Pelosi announced today that: "In its present form without any changes I don't think it's possible to pass the Senate bill in the House, I don't see the votes for it at this time." At the same time, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters there have been White House meetings focusing on a scenario that “merges the House and Senate products.” Pelosi’s Democrats can’t accept the health bill by Reid’s Democrats, and vice versa. My question is, how are Republicans supposed to cut a bipartisan compromise with Democrats when the Democrats can’t even work out a partisan compromise amongst themselves? Remember this the next time a Dem squeals about wanting the GOP to act in a bipartisan manner. It isn’t about compromise for Democrats, its about power. A final thought. What is the difference between the Republican threat to use the Nuclear Option and Democrats making the same threat? ...
