Instead of looking at themselves, the right continues their path of projection in blaming everyone else for their rapid fall from power. Here is John Hawkins blogging at Pajamas Media: Too often today, liberals are using below-the-belt tactics against conservatives and paying no price whatsoever. Meanwhile, those on the right like to pat themselves on […]
Joe “the Plumber” tells a room full of media-bashing conservatives that he is “horny”. It looks like it wasn’t taken very well either: It seemed that all of those who were gathered in the ballroom of Washington’s Grand Hyatt hotel for the Media Research Center’s annual “DisHonors Awards” ceremony designed to bash the dreaded liberal […]
Why don’t the conservatives embrace John McCain? I thought the very base of the conservative movement was fiscal conservatism. Well John McCain went off yesterday about the recent earmarks, like the $250 million David Vitter won, or the $114 Richard Shelby won, or even the $86 million Kit Bond won, but conservatives will rush to […]

I was watching Morning Joe this morning and in utter amazement at the dialogue going on. For a moment I thought FOX had taken over the show. Here’s a clip caught by Think Progress: As Think Progress points out: What’s more, as Center for American Progress Action Fund President John Podesta pointed out to Scarborough […]
James Pethokoukis is scared that Daschle means the end of conservatism: The GOP strategist had been joking about the upcoming presidential election and giving his humorous assessments of the candidates.
