THE GRAND OLD POSEURS

In today’s American Spectator, I vent my spleen on John Boehner and Mitch McConnell for their empty posturing regarding IPAB: Last week, Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell ostentatiously announced their intention to fight implementation of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). They sent a letter to the President [...]

SEBELIUS THROWS AIDE UNDER THE BUS TO ESCAPE HATCH ACT SKULLDUGGERY

We all know that HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius violated the Hatch Act by campaigning for Obama using taxpayers money, but now it looks like the whoppers she told to save her own skin has an HHS aide in legal trouble: The DNC … reimbursed HHS (rather than the Treasury Department) and reclassified it as travel, [...]

A GUN RIGHTS PROVISION IN OBAMACARE?

This has to be the weirdest of ObamaCare’s provisions. The CNN “reporter” calls it a gift for the gun lobby, but it’s about as innocuous as anything in that egregious law. The only real question is how it got in a health care reform bill. Apparently, it went in to keep the NRA in Harry [...]

THE FIVE STAGES OF A CONSERVATIVE’S GRIEF

In today’s American Spectator I chronicle the five stages of grief endured by a conservative (i.e. yours truly) who has witnessed 61 million voters get fooled … again: Last Tuesday evening I went to bed in denial … I declined to believe that a majority of the voters were stupid enough to re-elect a President [...]

IS IT CHURLISH TO SAY “I TOLD YOU SO”?

I January I wrote a column titled, “The Thelma & Louise Party,” in which I said that a Romney nomination spelled doom. I said that he was Obama’s preferred opponent, and many Dems said so as well: As former DNC Chair Donna Brazile admitted after a recent Republican debate, and Peter Ferrara reiterated on Wednesday, [...]

VIDEO: LUNTZ FOCUS GROUP OF FORMER OBAMA VOTERS SAYS ECONOMY TRUMPS FOREIGN POLICY

Pollster Frank Luntz spoke to another group of former Obama voters after Monday’s final debate, and the results boiled down to this: America cannot have a strong foreign policy without a strong economy—-and they thought Romney beat Obama on the latter issue:

KRAUTHAMMER: ROMNEY WON THIRD DEBATE

Krauthammer declares Romney the winner strategically and tactically, says Romney went big-picture while Obama went shockingly small. Romney seemed Presidential and Obama did not. Krauthammer believes Romney may have won the election tonight:

VIDEO: CROWLEY COMES CLEAN ABOUT THE BENGHAZI ATTACK AND OBAMA’S COVER-UP

Candy Crowley, who interrupted Tuesday night’s presidential debate to validate Obama’s lie about what he said on September 12 concerning the attack on our Benghazi consulate, is now featured in an anti-Obama ad in which she is shown saying: They spent two weeks telling us this was about a tape and that there was this [...]

WHAT IF CROWLEY AND HER ACCOMPLICES SUCCEED?

My column in today’s American Spectator contemplates what it means for the republic if the President’s media pimps dupe the voters into re-electing him: Shortly after ObamaCare was passed and signed by the President, Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute noted a sudden plethora of articles that had begun to appear in a wide variety [...]

AARP STANDS BY AS OBAMA GETS MUGGED BY REALITY

In today’s American Spectator, I discuss the perfidy of AARP. Having betrayed its members by supporting the President and the Democrats on ObamaCare, it is pretending to be nonpartisan again now that Obama looks like he’s in trouble with the voters: During last week’s presidential debate, realizing that he was taking a beating on the [...]
