Fiscal Cliff Deal: $1 in Spending Cuts for Every $41 in Tax Increases
Looks like we get screwed again. The Republican “leadership” in the House of Representatives is a joke. They gave up everything, and got nothing. I read somewhere that only one VA congressman voted for it – don’t know who it is yet. Cantor voted against it. Interestingly, Paul Ryan voted FOR it. According to the [...]
Fiscal Discipline
New ad features Crazy Uncle Joe laughing his way through Paul Ryan’s description of the serious financial problems we face.
Mittstache: Some of the Funniest Stuff You’ve Seen
I stumbled across this Tumblr called Mittstache, which procaims that Mitt Romney needs a mustache, and gives him one in many photos, along with awesome captions, like these: Go there. Laugh. Mittstache
Staring at Fading Obama Posters…
“College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life.” – Paul Ryan (H/T The Write Side of My Brain)
Big Surprise – Obama Campaign Says Paul Ryan’s Speech was “Factually Challenged”
Update: That little gem about the Janesville GM plant closing in 2008, under George Bush, is a lie: the plant was idled in 2009, after finishing production of trucks. They just can’t help themselves. I subscribe to emails from the Obama campaign to get a feel for what those folks are thinking. This morning I’m [...]
Paul Ryan’s Path to Prosperity: A Way Forward
The Claremont Institute published this analysis by William Voegeli of Paul Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity” back in September of 2010. I don’t know what, if any of it, has changed, but it’s certainly full of bold proposals to bring us back to financial solvency. Like he said at the time:”I’m just trying to get this [...]
No, No, Sarah Palin. Leave Choo-Choo Joe ON the Democratic Ticket!
Sarah Palin did an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, and (rightly) called Joe Biden’s “back in chains” remark in Danville, VA, disgusting. She went on to say how Biden is “bringing that ticket down” and how the Dems should replace Biden with Hillary Clinton. (Politico) Sarah Palin said Tuesday that Vice President Joe [...]
I Can’t Wait for the Ryan/Biden VP Debate
Even liberal news commentator Martha Raddatz won’t be able to shield Sheriff Joe from goofy stuff like he displayed today: In Danville, Virginia, Biden gave us this gem: In the same appearance, he charmingly imitates the sign language interpreter:
Why Paul Ryan is Obama’s Nightmare
David Burge -also known as Iowahawk- tweeted this weekend: “Paul Ryan represents Obama’s most horrifying nightmare: Math.” Erick Erickson explains why Paul Ryan as VP is a stroke of genius for the Romney campaign. Let me break the math down for you. If Barack Obama gets his way and raises taxes on everyone making $250,000.00 [...]
Presidential Debate Moderators a Diversity of…Liberals
Roger Simon comments on the slate of moderators chosen by the Commission on Presidential Debates. Commenter Marc Posner nailed it: “Debate moderators were chosen for diversity – a network liberal, a cable liberal, a PBS liberal and a female liberal.” I was appalled, although not surprised, to read the just announced list of moderators for [...]
Who Will Romney Pick for VP? Check Wikipedia for a Good Guess
This is very interesting. Folks that watch this sort of thing say the best way to figure out who Mitt Romney will pick for VP is by watching how many times their Wikipedia page has been updated recently. From Tech President: The Romney campaign wants you to download its mobile app to be among the first to [...]
The Petulant Boy-King Achieves the Pinnacle of Success: Complete Bipartisan Agreement!
Unfortunately for Wile E. Obama, CEO of the ACME Economic Destruction Co., complete agreement comes in the form of a 409 – 0 vote AGAINST his budget proposal. Better luck next time, ace. (H/T Weasel Zippers)
The Path to Prosperity: We Still Have a Chance to Change Course
In advance of the formal release of the House GOP’s budget proposal, Paul Ryan makes another pitch for the path to prosperity. Sure, it’lll pass the House, but with Harry Reid calling the shots in the Senate (and since the Dems haven’t bothered to propose a budget in three years), it won’t get far.
Geithner to House Budget Committee: “We Don’t Have a Plan to Solve the Debt Crisis, But We Know We Don’t Like Yours”
That’s a paraphrase, but it’s essentially what Treasury Secretary and noted tax-cheat Timmy Geithner said to House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan in testimony. James Pethokoukis of The Enterprise Blog provides the details: Testifying before the House Budget Committee today, U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told Chairman Paul Ryan the following: “We’re not coming before you to [...]
Compared to Paul Ryan, Obama is a Child-Like Presence
That is the conclusion of John Hinderaker, who blogs at PowerLine. He attended the Claremont Institute’s annual Churchill Dinner, and heard Ryan speak. Here’s an excerpt from that speech: Instead of changing his failed policies, the President has turned to the politics of division. Instead of appealing to the hope and optimism that were hallmarks [...]
Obama Keeps Blaming GOP for Not Passing His Jobs (new taxes) Bill, But…
You’ve heard it again and again on TV as the President travels around the country to campaign for 2012 sell his “jobs” bill: the Republicans are to blame for not passing it “right now.” (zero)bama even went all patronizing, and said he’d “break it down into smaller pieces, so the Republicans could understand it.” They [...]
House Budget Committee Chairman Likes Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan, Too
Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan got another endorsement today, from the House Budget Committee Chairman: House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan says he “loves” presidential candidate Herman Cain’s signature “9-9-9″ tax plan. Ryan told The Daily Caller in an exclusive interview that Cain’s plan is a good starting point for debate, and shows the GOP presidential campaign [...]
The Path to Prosperity, Part 2: Saving Medicare
Paul Ryan lays out the reasons why Medicare costs are skyrocketing (take a guess: it has something to do with the government). He also explains what we can do to save the program for current seniors, and strengthen it for future generations. I don’t know how anyone can listen to this and say the Republicans [...]
What Republicans Need in a Candidate for President: A Man Who Can Lead
Paul A. Rahe at Ricochet.com has been writing a series of articles on men (and women) who would make good Republican candidates for president. He continues his series with a piece that identifies another good one: Paul Ryan. The current President, as I argued in detail in the piece linked above, perfectly exemplifies what it [...]
Tax the Rich! Make ‘em Pay Their Fair Share! The Numbers Don’t Add Up
President Obama (*DfOaLG) responded last week to the GOP’s Path to Prosperity budget plan with a plan of his own. Obama’s plan would make some “adjustments” in Medicare and Medicaid, and would basically wallop the “rich” with some more taxes to help cover the difference. Get that? Don’t really do anything on the spending side [...]
