    Video Description: Fox News Sunday's 2nd segment of their "All-Star Panel" -- they talked about the debt ceiling/tax cuts issues. Liz Cheney goes after John Podesta and Juan Williams (I love that gal!). I include the "Panel Plus" portion as well (panel plus is the conversation online after the show).
  • Crowd more interesting than speeches at Republican Lobsterfest

    The Palm Beach County Republican Party’s annual Lobsterfest extravaganza was another big success, with 271 tickets sold and attendees dining on succulent South African lobster tails at The Beach Club on Palm Beach on Thursday. Those in the crowd seemed more interested in talking to one another than listening to the perfunctory speeches given by candidates and elected officials, none of whom offered any truly memorable moments in their largely boilerplate comments. That’s par for the course for an off-year political event held three days after the Fourth of July, but it was a pleasant evening nonetheless. In the Republican...

    And why hasn't Obama denounced Anthony Weiner For "Presenting His Little Friend" to strange women on the net? Now that Obama is beyond embarrassed because of the "Small Weiner Incident",what is he going to do? Why not hold a "Weiner-Summit"? Using the same White House Picnic Table,and let's have Obama,Biden,Barney Frank&His Boyfriend "Anthony Weiner" all sit there,munching on Hot-Dogs,Chips,Fries&Soda,and they can all discuss why "It Wouldn't Be Prudent" to expose your smallest body part on the web!

    Roll Call ^ | June 2, 2011 | Shira Toeplitz
    The Club for Growth has endorsed former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz (R), becoming the second national conservative organization this week to back him in the crowded GOP primary for retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's (R) seat. "Ted Cruz will fight for economic liberty and will be a stalwart defender of the U.S. Constitution," Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said in a Thursday statement. "He will be an ally for other pro-growth Senators and Texans will be proud to have him representing them in Congress. Club Members will do everything they can to see that Ted Cruz is elected...
  • Analyst: Palin In Ariz. For More Than Kyl's Seat

    KPHO-TV ^ | May 31, 2011
    PHOENIX -- One of the Valley's leading political analysts said he believes Republican Sarah Palin is setting up a national base in Arizona, but is not planning to run for Jon Kyl’s vacating U.S. Senate seat. Jaime Molera, founding partner of the Molera Alvarez Group, who has held a variety of high-level state positions, said he thinks Palin’s plans are bigger than just running for the U.S. Senate. “I think she’s thinking about running for the presidency,” Molera said. “At the end of the day, being one of 100 senators versus being the leading contender for U.S. President; I think...

    On May 30, 2011 we are called to remember the soldiers who have selflessly fought and died for the cause of freedom. It's also a day to honor brave men and women like Lance Cpl. Thomas Parker whose life was changed forever in the blink of an eye. In December, Tomy's unit was given the location of three IEDs by a local Mullah in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. Even though four other Marines from their unit were maimed by IED blasts that week, they overcame the fear, and hiked to the area. After successfully detonating three IED's they came...

    The Phoenix New Times ^ | May 11, 2011 | James King
    As first reported by New Times, there are rumors that the Tea Party's number-one ding-bat, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, is considering a run for the Senate seat getting vacated by Senator Jon Kyl -- and according to a recently released poll, if she does run, there's a pretty good chance she'd win. The poll, conducted by left-leaning pollsters at Public Policy Polling, finds that Republican voters nationwide don't want Palin to be president. However, Arizona Republicans say "you betchya!" to the idea of Palin being the state's next senator. Palin tops the list of potential GOP candidates with 35...

    The Wilkes-Barre Times Leader ^ | May 2, 2011 | Peter Jackson
    One drawback for the GOP is that the few Republicans who are household names in Pennsylvania are either not interested in running — former Govs. Tom Ridge and Mark Schweiker — or are preoccupied with other endeavors. Santorum recently set up a fundraising committee that allows him to take the first steps toward a presidential bid next year. At the other end of the spectrum is Harrisburg lawyer Mark Scaringi, a former Santorum aide who is the only declared candidate. Scaringi, who has not previously run for public office, has been traveling across the state to drum up support from...

    Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele has a message for Republicans complaining that they have no traction and bemoaning the way that Donald Trump is dominating 2012 news: Blame yourselves. "You want to be president, get out there and stake your claim--make your mark," Steele said on ABC's "Top Line" Monday. "If you want to let Donald Trump take all the oxygen out of the room, then that's on the guys and gals who let him do that. You can't blame Donald Trump, because he's figured out a way to keep himself in the forefront of the discussion, regardless...

    ABC News ^ | April 14, 2011 | George Stephanopoulos
    In my exclusive interview with President Barack Obama, the president acknowledged that Democrats are going to bear the "burden" of extending the national debt limit later this spring – and he explained for the first time that only when he became president did he understand why his 2006 Senate vote against raising the debt limit was wrong: George Stephanopoulos: You’ve got to extend the debt limit by May. And it seems like you made up the job-- your job is a lot tougher because of your vote in the Senate against extending the debt limit…When did you realize that vote...

    American Thinker ^ | April 12, 2011 | Stuart Schwartz
    Call him the little metrosexual that could. The fussy, fastidious, and pampered senator from South Carolina just keeps chugging along supremely impressed with the face looking out from the mirror in his posh Senate office and his status as the Beltway insiders' favorite Republican. "I'm [...] at the front of the line" for Barack Obama on Capitol Hill, he brags to the New York Times, which describes his "delight" in letting "people know" how important he is. After all, he is Lindsey Graham and he is Washington, nestled among the Beltway's palace courtiers like a flea on a Carolina Dog....
  • Sen. Rubio On Donald Trump’s Birtherism: ‘Why Are We Talking About This?’

    Meiaite ^ | April 9, 2011 | Frances Martel
    While the media is reveling in Donald Trump’s newfound status as Republican presidential candidate, not everyone on the right seems to understand why Trump has chosen President Barack Obama’s nationality as a battlefront. One voice opposed to spotlighting the “birther” issue is Sen. Marco Rubio, who wondered aloud this week how President Obama’s birthplace has become a legitimate campaign issue. Speaking to the Daily Caller’s Matt Lewis, Sen. Rubio appeared genuinely puzzled that the President’s birthplace is still an issue so many years later. “There are more important things facing our country,” he noted. “What does that have to do...

    Well it would seem that Republicans in Congress blinked agreeing to a last minute deal where they compromised everything and Democrats gave nothing. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is doing a victory lap, and President Obama was thankful that funding Planned Parenthood was avoided. "We protected the investments we need to win the future. At the same time, we also made sure at the end of the day this was a debate about spending cuts — not social issues like women’s health and the protection of our air and water. These are important issues that deserve discussion, just not during...
  • General Trump – Leading The Charge Against Dishonoring Our Constitution

    04/09/2011 4:02:41 PM PDT · by TLittlefella · 110 replies
    There can be no doubt that Trump is the 21st century George Patton in civilian clothes. General Trump has stepped forward to lead the charge against an apparent nationwide conspiracy by the brain dead cabbage patch to dishonor and defraud our constitution by accepting and endorsing a fraudulent president of our United States. General Trump has amassed huge support from those Americans who long ago recognized the indefensible fraud perpetrated against America in the 2008 presidential election. Many Americans previously gave little thought about allegations Obama was ineligible for the presidency, now those Americans have come to the realization they...

    Like Nero who fiddled while Rome burned, our Republican and Democrat congressional leadership, aided and abetted by the often-absent leadership of President Obama, continue to argue about politics and pennies instead of making an honest attempt to reduce the size, scope, and cost of the federal government. Last November, the American people sent a clear message to Congress – get serious about reducing government spending and the deficit, but inside the beltway it is business as usual.

    I’ve always believed, put your money where your mouth is and affix your name to the claim. I’m ready to put my money up and my mouth is now saying Obama does not fulfill the requirements of a “natural born” citizen therefore is not qualified to be POTUS. My wife has been telling me for the last four years there is an awful lot of creditable evidence supporting his ineligibility, I paid little attention to the matter, thinking it was all sour grapes. For the last two days my ears have opened and my mind a willing recipient of the...
