Honey, I Shrunk the Government! »
(Chuck Muth) -It’s not that we can’t shrink the government a lot more. It’s that legislators don’t want to….and are hiding behind children and old people and the mentally ill to fool the public into believing they can’t. Which is why it’s so important to take tax and fee hikes completely off the table.

Gibbons’ Comeback Cut Short »
(Josh Goodman) – I was all set to write a blog post that said, “Jim Gibbons still has a chance!” But, recent events haven’t been kind to Nevada’s embattled governor.

They tell us that our nation is headed in the wrong direction and must be turned around. I agree, but with a difference.
The difference is that I speak from results, not just easy campaign rhetoric. As with so many [...]
Lambikin Media Gives Their Hero Obama a Big Fat Pass »
(Ron Futrell) – Isn’t this special? The leftist activist media boobs (LAMBS) are talking about how transparent President Barack Obama is by televising Thursday’s “Made for TV HealthCare Event.” The media has doubled down on the charade by saying that Obama was fulfilling a “campaign promise of transparency.”
What? Have the LAMBS not been paying attention for the last year? Transparency is happening now only because Democrats got their trash handed to ‘em.
Let’s provide a [...]

Harry Reid not only believes Republican challenger Sue Lowden is going to win the GOP primary, but is the Republican they most fear, as well, the Readites issued a scathing press release yesterday slamming Lowden’s husband over his compensation last year.
“According to her company’s (Archon Corporation) annual report,” said Team Reid, “which she just got around to filing this week, (Sue) Lowden gave her [...]
