Democrat Jack Conway Uses Racist Tyler Clay Collins to Smear Rand Paul

Democrat and Jack Conway supporter Tyler Clay Collins went to the Kentucky Fancy Farm Picnic this past weekend (a big deal in Kentucky) and began mouthing off some vile and offensive racist sentiments.

Tyler Clay Collins also held up a sign disparaging immigrants to the country. Tyler Clay Collins wanted everyone to know how much he hates non-white immigrants to the United States. Tyler Clay Collins is a HUGE Jack Conway supporter. Conway is the Democrats' Senate nominee for Kentucky...

Worlds Are Colliding

During a school trip to Washington a group of students were ordered by a park service security guard standing watch over the Lincoln Memorial to stop singing the national anthem.

And word came late last night that Republicans have a serious shot at something once thought impossible — taking back the United States Senate.

It took the GOP 40 years to take back Congress and 12 years to lose it again. The Democrats look on course to lose the whole thing after only 4 years thanks to Barack Obama.

Wh...

That's about the only thing

Bill White, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Texas, fled Austin today to make sure there was no chance he would run into Barack Obama.

The other day, Roy Barnes, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Georgia, fled Atlanta to make sure there was no chance he would run into Barack Obama.

In Austin, TX today, Obama said:

In reference to the upcoming November congressional elections, Obama said: "Well, we can politick for three months. They forgot I'm pretty good at politicking."

There is ...

Barack Obama's Endless Summer

As Barack Obama heads out to do some fundraisers today, the NRSC has prepared a pretty solid video highlighting Obama's pattern of frivolous behavior.

Bind Them From Mischief With the Chains of the Constitution

Convinced beyond reason and data that the American people find delicious the sandwich of socialism being force fed down their throats, the left does not understand what is happening in this country and what is coming.

In fact, the media does not understand what is happening either. Largely socializing with the same elites and liberals who are fomenting unrest in the country, the media is missing warning signs that revolutionary conduct amongst middle class conservative and independent voters ...

Is Karen Diebel Really A Big Taxer?

I haven't really jumped into FL-24 race other than to raise some concerns I had with Karen Diebel that everyone assures me are actually not big issues.

But one thing that has jumped out at me is some of the attacks on Diebel about her voting for tax increases on the Winter Park City Council in Florida.

Here are some of the tax increases she's being beaten up about:

* Voted for an increased fee schedule in 2007 that included a $15 fee to process a business certificate, a 2% increase in garbage ...

Bob Bennett: Sore Loser

We've commented here a number of times recently that Bob Bennett has gone out of this way to trash the tea party movement since they defeated him for re-election. I guess that is understandable.

Well, today we're getting word that Bob Bennet's son is now working for the Democrats in Utah.

How fitting.

Jim Bennett, the son of Sen. Bob Bennett who ran his father's campaign for a fourth term this year, has begun working as a volunteer on the Senate campaign of Democrat Sam Granato, who hopes to...

Handel vs. Deal

In my newspaper column today I make clear I am sticking with Karen Handel in the Georgia GOP gubernatorial primary.

This is the silliest thing. It is virtually unheard of for a candidate going into a runoff with a greater than ten point lead to lose the runoff. Nathan Deal, in the midst of a federal grand jury investigation of his business conduct, is throwing everything he can at Karen Handel and she is doing it back to him. But Deal is the one crying like a baby over it, denying he is...
