By Steve McGough / November 2, 2009 /

All politics, are no longer local. With the coming of the information age, broadband internet and online credit card processing, we’ve entered into the blood sport of manipulating United States House and Senate races in far-away states and districts of which we have never been, nor will likely visit in the future. Is this a…

TEA Party efforts – conservative disorganization

By Steve McGough / April 19, 2009 /

There has been quite a bit of discussion about who attended the TEA Parties, and questions like ‘what do you want?’ have been pretty popular. When you have a true grass roots effort – like this one – there are bound to be different, sometimes disorganized messages. Hey, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, and…

We are not looking for the conservative Barack Obama

By Steve McGough / November 5, 2010 /

Dana Loesch at Big Government makes an important point this morning as conservatives soon head back to Washington with more skin in the game. Although conservatives do need leaders and mentors across the United States, we are in no way in need of a figurehead for a “new” movement. I’m fine with our Founding Fathers…

Matthews: Conservatives watch football don’t they?

By Jim Vicevich / October 13, 2009 /

Come on … he’s joking right? Chris Matthews debating whether Rush Limbaugh should be allowed to purchase the St Louis Rams, complete with past Rush quotes that even Matthews points out were not racist. But the conversation veers way off course right after sports commentator Kevin Blackistone says the NFL is doing very well without…

Polls: From The Left, From The Right

By Jim Vicevich / February 24, 2009 /

I have said before I do not like polls. Not only are they snapshots of an America that seems consumed with the latest and greatest or whatever the crowd finds most appealing that day or that week. But I have always viewed pollsters with a certain amount of skepticism, especially when it comes to weighting…

Gingrich suggests third party rebellion in 2012

By Steve McGough / April 2, 2009 /

Can the American political system handle third party? It’s pretty clear voters have been split between Republicans and Democrats during the past 10 years. Obama won by 7 percent, and Bush won by 3 percent in 2004, but we are defined as a split nation when it comes to national politics. Close races are, well,…

Palin could be next national conservative leader

By Steve McGough / November 7, 2008 /

I have no idea who will step up as the leader of conservatives during the next two years. Quite honestly, I’m not sure if anyone will step up as a national leader for conservatives. But we do need a leader. Could it be Gov. Palin? One thing seems for certain, if we held a national…
