Next up we have John McCain, America’s most famous veteran: Since leaving the military John McCain has enjoyed the benefits of the VA, as well as the extensive coverage of his Congressional health insurance. Today John McCain has a chance to show he supports the rest of our veterans by supporting healthcare with a public […]
Just reading Eric Erickson’s post on RedState trying to spin NY-23 into a great victory, I can’t help but notice his closing: For all intents and purposes, NY-23 is a trial run for Florida. And in Florida, the conservative candidate is operating inside the GOP. If John Cornyn and the NRSC do not want to […]
It was just a year ago we kept hearing news of John McCain using famous songs for his campaign without the express written permission of the copyright holder. It seems like that practice is trickling down through the ranks of the GOP and now we have New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie as the latest […]

Barack Obama (D-Ill.) of the Democratic nomination on suspicion that he was not an American citizen. The complaint for […]
Palin gets hit with ethics complaint number 18: The latest complaint alleges she abused her office by accepting a salary and using state staff while campaigning outside Alaska for the vice presidency. It’s the third complaint filed against the Republican since she announced July 3 that she was stepping down. [SNIP] In her complaint, Andree […]
There are mixed reports on this, but CNN and FOX are both reporting that she is leaving office at the end of the month. The reason is that Palin feels she can be “more effective outside of government”. Not really sure how that would play into a 2012 run. Not only that, but the timing […]
