We all know about Mr. Crist and his decision to COMPLETELY re-neg on his conservative stances over the years.
Marco Rubio has been running an uphill battle for some time, and as soon as it looked to, to Chuck and pollsters everywhere, that Rubio was going to beat him? Well, let’s just say the I, which [...]

Laura Bush, on “Good Morning America”, said that she didn’t think that Obama should be blamed for the worst oil spill in American history.
And I happen to agree with her.
I understand the thought that Obama should be doing more to help stop the spill, but really, it kind of proves what conservatives say all the [...]

“The number of voters who say they will vote GOP has jumped to 49 percent, compared with 43 percent for Democrats.”

That’s me, meeting my beautiful son Gage for the first time a little over a year ago. It was the first time that my life went from “should do’s”, and “can do’s”…and was replaced by a slew of “have to’s”. It’s a part of becoming an adult. Becoming a man. Not an older child, but [...]

Probably not very much.
I’m more than willing to be fair here. I know very little about Rand. However if he tows the exact same lines as his dad, I’ll tell you right now, I’m probably not going to be a fan. The fact that he won so big over the establishments pick is largely a [...]

Patrick Leahy…the names enough to make you say, “Go f*ck yourself”.
Senator Leahy, who is one of the most progressive and incompetent (I know, I know…redundant) Senators in Congress, has a tough election in front of him. Len Britton, a conservative Republican Vermont businessman is running (so far) unopposed against Leahy in a year when [...]
