Why Latinos vote for Democrats »
(Steve Sebelius/Slash Politics) – The Review-Journal today carried a big piece about the impact of the Hispanic vote in Nevada’s election, and how Democrats capitalized on Latino turnout to win. And in that piece, failed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle demonstrated once more why she was, and is, not a person the GOP ever wants to see in another statewide race. Commentator Ruben Navarette told R-J reporter Ben Spillman that Angle drove a wedge [...]
Clark: DREAM Act a Nightmare »
(Jim Clark) – Last week I advised readers that the broad consensus at the recent Nevada GOP Central Committee meeting held in Fallon was that Sharron Angle’s campaign faltered on election day because of her media ads describing Harry Reid as being the “illegal aliens’ best friend”. Reid was able to muster otherwise unenthusiastic Latinos and get them to the polls in sufficient numbers to move the election result by 8 or 9 points in [...]
‘Don’t Tread on Me’ License Plates Become a Growing Trend in the U.S. »
(FOX News) – Nevada Assemblyman Ed Goedhart isn’t so sure that his proposal to bring the Gadsden flag plate to his home state will pass, but he said he plans to do whatever he can to make it happen.
Getz: What would you cut? »
(George Getz) – I have been watching “talking head shows” in shock and horror as Tea Party leaders, Republican officeholders and prominent conservatives were unable to come up with an answer to this question: “What would you cut?” Incredibly, most couldn’t think of a single thing. Even one supposedly conservative Republican governor whose name has been floated as a likely presidential candidate! For a libertarian conservative like me, there’s a better question than “What would [...]
Coburn: Food Safety Bill Won’t Make Food Safer »
(NN&V Staff) – U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) released the following statement today after the Senate passed a flawed food safety bill and rejected his alternative plan. “The bill the Senate passed today will grow the government, increase food prices, and drive small producers out of business without making our food any safer. America has the safest food supply in the world – and it has been getting safer – because the free market [...]
Successful economic development comes from low taxes and free enterprise »
(Geoffrey Lawrence/NPRI) – Leftist pundits love to point out that Nevada, with what they perceive as a low-tax and business-friendly regulatory environment, leads the nation in unemployment — as if this provides conclusive evidence that high taxes and government spending are somehow requisite for prosperity. They view the Silver State as an experiment in limited government that, over the past two years, has demonstrated the folly of the entire system. Little recognition is given to [...]
What Happens If the Bush Tax Cuts Expire »
(Peter Roff/US News) – The folks at Americans for Tax Reform, a non-partisan coalition of taxpayers and taxpayer groups who oppose all tax increases, released Tuesday a helpful reminder of just what is at stake in the debate over extending the current tax rates, which are set to expire at year’s end. “If Congress doesn’t act, everyone who pays taxes will see a tax hike in their first paycheck of the year,” ATR says. “The [...]
Conservative Leaders Call on Congress to Consider Defense Spending Cuts »
(NN&V Staff) — Today, Americans for Tax Reform, joined by strong coalition of organizations and individuals, released a joint letter calling on Republican leaders in Congress to consider all areas of the federal budget in their efforts to cut spending. The letter states that leadership on spending reform requires lawmakers to reject the sanctimonious pardoning of Department of Defense waste, and consider military spending cuts when confronting government profligacy. In part, the letter states: Defense [...]
Al Gore’s Gas-Based Admission »
(Paul Jacob/Common Sense) – Al Gore gives the impression of someone never willing to acknowledge error if said error happens to be self-serving. This impression is wrong. If I have ever suggested that Gore never admits self-serving mistakes, I hereby rescind and repudiate that suggestion. He appears more than willing to retire a dishonest assertion . . . so long as he has another dishonest assertion to replace it with. Ed Morrissey tells the tale [...]
Union Agitator Calls for End of Capitalism »
(Warner Todd Huston/The Union Label) – Calling for civil unrest and the end to private property rights, Sharon Black of the Baltimore All-Peoples Congress, tried desperately to rouse communists and socialists everywhere at the Workers World Party’s annual conference on November 13th and 14th in New York City. Black — whose name is a fitting one for her dark agenda — wants an end to capitalism and the United States of America and yearns for [...]
