    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864

    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

“Lipstick On A Pig” Was An Intentional, Coordinated Slur Against Sarah Palin

Posted on September 10, 2008 by Riley

Hey, if you can’t believe the DNC’s own website, who CAN you believe?

(The requisite screen shot in case the Dems try to get smart and hide this evidence.)
Busted!
They’ve been building to this for nearly 2 weeks now.  And that photo at the bottom of the page with the pig wearing lipstick, eyeglasses and pearls?  Let’s [...]

Rally Wrap-up

Posted on September 10, 2008 by Hirons

Thanks to Riley for updating with my tweets during today’s McCain/Palin Rally.  The rally exceeded expectations.  It really energized Northern Virginia.  I had some concerns going in, considering the attitude and lack of enthusiasm for Republicans in Northern Virginia.  However today’s rally turned all that around.  The crowd was huge and enthusiastic.  McCain and Palin [...]

Drill, Baby, Drill!

Posted on September 10, 2008 by conservativefembot

Believe it or not, I got this from Newt Gingrich and the good people at Human Events today.  Click on this link for the lyrics of a new song by Aaron Tippin called “Drill Here, Drill Now” that you will be, at the very least, amused by.  At most, you will sling back a Pabst and [...]

Yesterday it was a pig. Today? Pontius Pilate

Posted on September 10, 2008 by Riley

From an NRCC press release:
The Democrats have lost their minds – and all sense of moral decency. Today, on the floor of the House of Representatives, Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen (Memphis) equated Barack Obama to Jesus, thereby furthering liberals’ absurd belief that Obama is the Chosen One sent to save the world. Then, Cohen outrageously [...]

Mark Warner: “No debates! No questions!”

Posted on September 10, 2008 by Riley

The WashPo is starting to hit Marky Mark.  First up, they highlight how he is refusing to answer questions and take stands on actual issues.
But there are risks in [Mark] Warner’s efforts to build a broad coalition that spans ideological lines. On Monday, Warner declined to take a firm position on whether he supports the [...]

Boy George Records Pro-Obama Song

Posted on September 10, 2008 by Riley

As if 2008 couldn’t get any weirder, Boy George has recorded a pro-Obama song and released a music video for it.  Many are saying this must be some sort of insidious plot by John McCain to make Barry Obama look bad.  Watch it and decide for yourself.

Wahhhhhhhh!!! Baby Barry Crying “ENOUGH!!!”

Posted on September 10, 2008 by Riley

Welcome to Macacaville, Barry Obama.
You know, I’m sure that Sen. George Allen would love to have had those 10 seconds back that happened in 2006, but he can’t.  You don’t get yours back, either.
And as far as this being a “made-up” controversy?  That just doesn’t fly.  Not with your campaign surrogates also using similar phrases [...]
