Call to Arms: Will You Support a “Jack Bauer” Republican? »
(Ilario Pantano) – My name is Ilario Pantano, and I’m a combat veteran of two wars, a constitutional conservative and running for Congress. Since announcing my candidacy I’ve been attacked by liberals from across the United States. The liberal blog Daily Kos even called me a “Jack Bauer Republican.”
In defense of Sharron Angle »
(Steve Sebelius/Slash Politics) – Ian Millhiser, writing on the liberal blog Think Progress, accuses Sharron Angle of “…fighting against the Nevada Constitution’s requirement that all children have the opportunity to obtain a public education” back in 2003, when then-Assemblywoman Angle voted against a tax package that would have funded schools.
But that’s not what happened in Carson City that year.
Regular readers know the scenario: The Legislature passed every budget except the one that funds K-12 education, [...]
Harry Reid Hops on Gravy Train to Re-election »
(Debbie Landis/Action is Brewing) – Rumors have Harry Reid running around like crazy campaigning to allow Native Americans to build casinos on any property anywhere. Another little birdie has him campaigning to make internet gaming legal.

The Right “Angle” is Chile’s Retirement System »
(Jim Clark) – For about a month after Sharron Angle’s convincing win in the GOP primary election for US Senate she was hammered by Democratic Senator Harry Reid’s relentless negative advertising. His tactic of taking Sharron’s statements out of context cost her dearly in the polls.
She had a post election lead of 9 points according to the Rasmussen poll which flipped to a 7 point deficit by mid July as a result [...]
Elena’s Nanny State »
(Michael Tanner/Cato Institute) – Suppose that the federal government, in its infinite wisdom, decided that it would deal with the obesity crisis and improve the health and welfare of the American people — by mandating that every American eat three helpings of vegetables and three helpings of fruit every day. Anyone caught failing to eat the required food would be subject to a fine or tax. Would such a law be constitutional?
Rory Reid Says Dad Wrong, Yucca Mountain is Safe »
Most of what Harry Reid says about safety concerns over the Yucca Mountain project is pure, unadulterated political flapdoodle. It’s interesting to discover that his son apparently feels the same way.
