The title says it all and explains why I could never back Foley with any kind of passion. Foley announced today he would concede the election, even as the Republican Party told the state it would fight on for the integrity of the system. Foley wanted to be Governor and it doesn’t surprise me fighting…

Obama: We can spend your money better than you can

By Jim Vicevich | November 8, 2010 |

It’s a revival of, “It’s not your money”. Obama made it clear to Steve Croft on 60 Minutes last night that his philosophy of “spread the wealth around” was alive and well. “There are more efficient ways out there to recirculate money.”

Outgoing Rep. Grayson: We were not progressive enough

By Steve McGough | November 5, 2010 |

The whack-job used the word ‘appeasement” concerning Democrat’s willing to buckle to the pressure of the almighty Republicans in Congress. That’s just friggin’ hilarious since the Executive Branch and Congress was willing to bypass normal rules to mandate what they could during the past two years.

Boehner and Paul: Courage of conviction

By Jim Vicevich | November 3, 2010 |

Two videos for you who feel a bit wishy washy today. Understandable, especially if you live in New England, eh? The first is John Boehner in his victory speech. Inspiring. The second from Rand Paul, defining American exceptionalism.

McMahon closing fast … aide says it all depends on turnout now

By Jim Vicevich | November 1, 2010 |

There you go. It depends on the little “mobsters”. Can’t say I am surprised. The latest Rasmussen poll demonstrates a dramatic turnaround for Republican Senate Candidate Linda McMahon especially with independents. Details below the fold.

We’re doomed. Doomed, I tell you. College students explain why they’re voting Democrat this year

Instapundit, Hot Air, and others have pointed out the juicy irony that Jon Stewart invited Cat Stevens, aka, Yusuf Islam to the “Restore Sanity” rally. If you’re not familiar with Islam, you can read all about it here. But what struck me most about the “Sanity” rally wasn’t the man who approved of a Fatwa…

When Erick Erickson is on your case … case closed. A magnificent post from one of the most respected bloggers on the Internet. Thanks Erick.

The federal government is too BIG – hands out $1 BILLION to dead people

By Steve McGough | October 29, 2010 |

They don’t just see dead people, they give them cash, and lots of cash.

Medicare even paid $92 million for treatments prescribed by dead physicians.
