  • Fred Thompson’s Appeal?

    Can someone please explain to me what appeal Fred Thompson has to conservatives? I’ve heard some people out there salivating at the idea of Fred running for president, and I don’t really see anything about him that appeals to me. My impression is that he’s a cookie-cutter conservative Republican, in Ronald Regan sense, but I […]

  • Ron Paul Has More Money Than McCain

    I can’t believe what little coverage Ron Paul is getting in the “mainstream press”. Running for political office seems to be a chicken and egg game, where the media ends up deciding who is viable. Think about it: The press only cover “viable” candidates. Viable candidates are those who poll well. Candidates can only poll […]

  • Ron Paul Chester County Meetup

    A meetup group has been formed in Chester County to support Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. The Chester County Meetup Group currently has 20 members, and is growing pretty quickly. The neat thing about the meetups is that they’re totally grassroots in their organization. People in different areas start their own groups, to get the word […]

  • The Mess of Pottage

    Ron Paul aside, next year’s presidential election looks like it’s shaping up to be a extremely pathetic in terms of who will be on the ballot. From the RINO to the suit, from the semi-liberal to the actor, it’s shaping up to be real circus. What really scares me, though, is not the parade of […]

  • Ron Paul Lawn Signs

    I’m seriously considering putting in an order for Ron Paul Signs, (you can see them on display here). However, they’re running for $165 for a lot of 100 on Ebay, so I may need to wait until I get my allowance next month. Once I do pick them up, I’ll let you all know, so […]

  • Ron Paul on Bill Mahar

    I know, I know. I just got back from a Tokyo, spent a day soaking in an onsen, watched the sun come up in a shouchu bar, and watched the yokozuna get beat during the summer sumo tournament in Ryogoku, and here I am posting more Ron Paul videos. Apparently, while I was gone, Ron […]

  • Ron Paul Invited to Next Debate!

    The NH Institute of Politics announces that the Republican presidential debate will take place on June 5, 2007, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. “Sponsored by CNN, WMUR-TV and the New Hampshire Union Leader, the debate will include every major republican candidate currently running for president: former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, U.S. Sens. John […]

  • Ron Paul Clips

    Here’s a youtube video produced by the Ron Paul folks that show some highlights from the recent debate on MSNBC, plus some endorsements from folks like Pat Buchanan. And here’s the comments from the McLaughlin group:

  • Giuliani’s Ferret Fetish

    You need to listen to these comments by presidential hopeful, Rudolph Giuliani, to a New York ferret advocate. Worse than displaying his sheer idiocy, his rant shows how this guy thinks. In 1999, Mr. Giuliani passed a law banning ferrets in New York City. Now, I’m not really an animal guy. However, as long as […]

  • Republican Debate Tonight on MSNBC

    A debate between the Republican presidential candidates will be shown on MSNBC tonight. Here’s the list of candidates who will be participating tonight: Sam Brownback Jim Gilmore Rudy Giuliani Mike Huckabee Duncan Hunter John McCain Ron Paul Mitt Romney Tom Tancredo Tommy Thompson There’s rumors that seven of the ten candidates are in danger of […]

  • Did Gun Control Help?

    I hate to be opportunistic regarding the recent massacre (there really isn’t a better word) at Virginia Tech yesterday, but since the gun control crowd has already started beating their drums, I thought that it would appropriate to point out that this tragedy proves exactly why gun control is a bad thing.

  • Ron Paul for President

    I realize it’s early in the election campaign, but I’m already throwing in my endorsement. Actually, my endorsement was given before Ron Paul even announced his candidacy. The Congressman from Texas is an oddity amongst his Republican peers, since he actually votes according to the conservative, libertarian values that those aforementioned peers merely give lip […]

  • Republicans are Losing Libertarians

    The Washington Post has written up an article confirming my earlier prognostication… the Republican Party is losing the vote of the libertarians, and the libertarians are growing. Libertarians usually vote for Republicans, who promise to hold down taxes, spending and regulation. But in the past six years of Republican control in Washington, federal spending has […]

  • Blaming Congress for the War

    One thing I forgot to mention yesterday. When Specter was on the radio pitching for Santorum, he was lamenting the fact that the people of Pennsylvania are punishing Santorum over an unpopular war. He ridiculed this idea, since the Senate wasn’t to blame for the war… it was Bush and the rest of the executive […]

  • Conservative? Really??

    It’s very difficult for us real conservatives nowadays. I was listening to Senators Rick Santorum and Arlen Spector on the radio the other day. Santorum is in a tough fight right now with Bob Casey, and Casey has taken a rather large lead in the polls. Now, personally, I have little reason to believe that […]
