Godfather Of Conservatism Calls On Newt To Drop Out Of Race »
(Roger Stone/The Stone Zone) – When the history of American Conservatives is written, it should be noted the second most influential man in terms of the Conservative Movement and country after Ronald Reagan, is direct communication wizard and conservative activist Richard A. Viguerie. If William F. Buckley Jr. is the Godfather of the modern Conservative Movement, Richard Viguerie has been it’s communications and fundraising spark-plug. Viguerie developed sophisticated direct mail techniques, which, in a day [...]
Newt: I Will Be The Nominee »
(Rich Galen/Mullings.com) – We can say this about our friend Newt Gingrich: He has never suffered from public self-doubt. On the strength of a string of polls showing the GOP conservative base has fallen in love with him Newt told ABC News’ Jake Tapper: “I’m going to be the nominee. It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee.” A [...]
Gingrich Has Winning Stance On Immigration Issue »
(Jim Clark) – At the last GOP presidential candidate debate, Newt Gingrich dealt with the subject of immigration thusly: “I don’t see how a party that says it’s the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families which have been here a quarter century. I’m prepared to take the heat for saying let’s be humane in enforcing the law.” Politically speaking, that was quite a bombshell considering that Mitt [...]
Gingrich and New Hampshire Endorsement »
(Rich Galen/Mullings.com) – The New Hampshire Union-Leader (neé Manchester Union-Leader) endorsed Speaker Newt Gingrich for President in the Republican primary which will be held there on January 10, 2012. This is no small deal for Gingrich because it is a legitimate endorsement from the daily newspaper of the largest city in the state. As I tweeted yesterday (follow me at @richgalen): Newspaper endorsements are like polls & poker: Winners whoop & holler. Losers say “Shut [...]
Gingrich, The Fed, And A Balanced Budget Amendment »
Gingrich is certainly smart – but nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is. As is the case with Obama, Perry, and so many other candidates, he suffers from what Hayek called the fatal conceit. This is the belief that he is smarter than the marketplace and that he can allocate other peoples’ money more productively than they could do it themselves. Gingrich, like Obama, has great plans for investing your tax money and [...]
First Quarter Grades In For Republican Presidential Candidates »
(Jim Clark) – The Patriot Post (www.patriotpost.us) is an e-newsletter published by a non-partisan group, which is committed to restoration of Constitutional government, defending liberty and opposing economic collectivism as represented by President Obama and his leftist allies. As the GOP presidential debates continue there are, and will continue to be, bickering and unpleasant claims and charges between candidates. This has been, and will continue to be, followed by media stories trumpeting the discord. So [...]
“Experts” Just Don’t Get Cain’s Appeal »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – You know who doesn’t want to see Herman Cain win the GOP nomination? The “experts” on both sides. They just don’t like it when someone who hasn’t been “vetted” by them and might lack the proper “gravitas” to ascend to the Presidency, actually looks like he’s got a shot. I’ve watched everybody from Bill O’Reilly to Britt Hume poo poo Cain’s improbable move to the top of the GOP list. [...]

WSJ More Liberal Than New York Times »
(Jim Clark) – In a routine announcement, ABC Nightly News recently told viewers: “The Administration’s jobs plan includes massive spending on infrastructure which, as hundreds of economists have confirmed, will create jobs and spur consumer spending.” WHAT? What was all the folderol about voting to raise the debt ceiling last month? If the first billion dollar stimulus plus the Federal Reserve’s wild spending to bolster government bond sales didn’t move unemployment off the 9 + [...]
