preme Court of the United States will have a number of choices in its decision on California’s hotly contested Proposition 8. The amendment, which was passed during the state elections of 2008 and added to the California Constitution, provides that “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” While [...]
The only chance the Republicans have of winning the 2012 election rests in the hands of Mitt Romney, and Republican voters need to take note. With Rick Santorum emerging as the primary competition, the Republican Party needs to select the candidate who can best campaign against Obama and his rising approval rating, and that choice [...]
While it would be a miracle for the United States Senate to pass anything right now in its current gridlocked stalemate, there is one bill that both parties should be eagerly embracing. The Student Aid and Responsibility Act, passed by the House of Representatives last September but currently stalled in the Senate, could become a [...]
All that’s missing from George Joyce’s American Thinker column yesterday is an invisible jet for Miss California so she can lasso everybody up onto one wing and fly the GOP out of the wilderness. “What can Carrie Prejean do for America and the GOP? For starters, she can drive a very deep wedge into the [...]
I knew from her Twitter post last night that today’s Daily Beast column was going to be a doozy. No real surprises here, just Ms. McCain making an argument that Republican values are compatible with gay rights values. Perhaps there’s an argument to be made here, but unfortunately, she never makes it. Instead, we get [...]
Uh-oh. I honestly meant it in the metaphorical sense; I wonder if she should be trying to take on the GOP establishment so readily. I don’t want to be misunderstood and told to “kiss her fat ass.” Seriously, though, this newfound love for Meghan McCain as a voice for the Republican Party is not endearing [...]
Like everyone else in the right-wing blogosphere, I’m going to take the last stand on this whole “I hope he fails” business with Rush. Katherine and I have made our positions pretty clear here at Vandy Right. Patterico, Jeff Goldstein, Gabriel Malor and Ace have all had their say on this, and I encourage you to [...]
There’s some great discussion going on in the right-wing blogosphere about Rush Limbaugh, Michael Steele, and the movement. In the wake of CPAC and Rush’s energizing speech, Steele’s basically been playing it down, trying to distance the GOP and the RNC from Rush. Rush responded today on his show, and it’s worth a listen. Ace [...]
Okay, so the second group’s a joke, but the RNC chairman’s own from an interview with the Washington Times. Basically, Steele says the party needs to be attracting younger black and Hispanic from urban and suburban areas. Normally I abhor this kind of racial identity politics, but he hits the nail on the head with [...]
I’ll file this under “reasons why I am glad George W. Bush won a second term.” Interestingly, this is from Sen. Jim DeMint’s YouTube channel. Are we seeing a new trend in politicians using social media to directly engage in arguments and conversation with and about their colleagues? I think it’s a great move for [...]
