Hello VA CRs!  If you are in the area, I urge you stop by George Mason University on October 14th and and October 21st. We’ll be hosting two special guests.

Rep. Jeb Hensarling has proposed a new free-market based plan.  This story, reported by my CNSNews.com colleague Josiah Ryan this morning, is welcome news to those of us who feel that socialist command economics are are not the answer.  The plan would, in short, allow floundering financial institutions to purchase insurance on their troubled mortgage-backed […]

Once again, the Democratic Party has demonstrated that it does not understand economics.  It seems to think that crafting politically advantageous policies is good, no matter what those policies are.  Case in point: the recent Christmas tree bailout legislation.

I’ve been writing about this issue extensively, and will continue to do so, at my new job at CNSNews.com.  But in the meantime, check this out, it does an excellent job of suming it all up. Read More

For anyone who hasn’t heard, there was a rally for Barack Obama at the University of Mary Washington on Saturday. I wasn’t close enough to hear the speech so I can’t comment on how the rally went, but Mr. Obama certainly got to see the UMW CRs on his way to campus. Read More

John McCain seems to be winning the ad wars lately.

24,000.  That’s the number of people officially in attendance at today’s McCain-Palin rally at Van Dyck Park in Fairfax.  Some media estimates went as high as 30,000 all told, which would triple the number of people Barack Obama managed to “inspire” after nearly a week of advertising. 

Let’s just admit it, Sarah Palin doesn’t have much experience in government, at any level.  Trying to argue that her scant experience is more substantive than Barack Obama’s is a non-starter and a loser of an argument for the GOP.  Why?  Because with a brilliant speech last night, Sarah Palin changed this election.

Now that The One has announced that he will announce his VP choice this weekend, I felt it was time to offer my two cents on who McCain’s choice should be.  Mitt Romney should get the nod.  I know, I bashed Romney pretty hard during the primaries, calling him a fraud and a charlatan.  I […]

Barack Obama’s infamous habit of merely voting ‘present’ while an Illinois State Senator is well known, yet what may be more infamous are the issues Obama deemed worthy of actually voting on.  One such issue, the Induced Birth Infant Liability Act, a bill that gave full legal protection to children who survive partial-birth abortions, received the thumbs down […]

Rush Limbaugh, the #1 nationally syndicated radio talk show host, has recently signed a $400 million dollar contract that will keep him on the air until 2016. He is currently celebrating his 20th anniversary of being on the air! Read More

Two recent articles in the WaPo, one today by Brent Bozell and one Sunday by Greg Anrig of the Century Foundation give two equally wrong answers to the same question: why does John McCain’s presidential campaign seem to be spinning its wheels while the Obama campaign seems to be floating on a cloud?
