Town Hall reported on a speech by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on what the Republicans must do going forward if they expect to win the confidence of voters. I feel it is worth repeating here:So let me suggest an alternative course: opportunity conservatism. Republicans should conceptualize and articulate every domestic policy with a single-minded focus on easing the ascent up the economic

Budget negotiations--whose responsibility?

2012-12-14T15:43:00.000-06:00

President Obama has been going around saying it is up to the Republicans to come up with a budget solution that avoids going off the so-called fiscal cliff. But the Republicans control only the House, not the Presidency. So what's wrong with this picture? Here's what's wrong: The responsibilities of the Members of the House and Senate rest with their districts and their States, respectively

Fiscal cliff--who's fault if we go over?

2012-11-29T15:58:00.001-06:00

The President is on the campaign trail yet again beating the drums for a job-killing tax increase on the wealthy while warning of dire consequences if we go over the cliff. But, doesn't the legislation now exist which avoids the cliff? [A] bipartisan majority in the Republican-held House of Representatives passed a package of measures to solve the fiscal cliff back in August. The legislation

ALLEN WEST CONCEDES AFTER PRELIMINARY RECOUNTAllen West has conceded the election to Democrat Murphy. But, it seems to me, it was more the idea that the recount was such a fiasco West simply gave up rather than the recount showed who really won. Then there is Gertrude Walker, the 32-year-veteran election supervisor of St. Lucie County, who has spent much of the last two weeks explaining why her

What went down in Cuyahoga County on election day?

First St. Lucie County, Florida now Cuyahoga County, Ohio. According to news reports Obama got more than 99% of the vote in over 100 Cuyahoga County precincts. Sixteen precincts reported zero votes for Romney, 24 precincts reported exactly one vote, and so on.Considering how important the swing state of Ohio was to the national election, one would think that such improbable results would

Killing Energy, Killing Jobs, Killing America America has been under attack since Barack Obama took the oath of office on January 20, 2009. The primary target has been the nation’s ability to generate energy for electricity and transportation, without which this nation will slide into Third World status and economic decline. This appears to be the goal of this administration from the President

Dirty Tricks?

Mark Block: 'Herman Cain Never Sexually Harassed Anybody' “First of all, Herman Cain never sexually harassed anybody,” Block said. “Period. End of story.” Block said the only people who spoke publicly in the article are the ones who were in the best position to know and that every negative story regarding Cain has been attributed to unnamed, anonymous sources. Sounds like dirty tricks to me.

Do we need any more proof Huntsman is not qualified to be President? Huntsman has been attacking Gov. Perry for being a global warming skeptic:“When we take a position that isn’t willing to embrace evolution, when we take a position that basically runs counter to what 98 of 100 climate scientists have said, what the National Academy of Science has said about what is causing climate change and

The debt debate commentary

2011-07-30T12:11:00.000-05:00

It seems all the commentary about the debt debate in the popular media is focused on the Republicans in Congress, especially the "teapartiers"; that they are obstructionist, endangering our credit rating in the name of principle, and so on. What is absent from the commentary is Democrat intransigence; they digging in their heels to protect their spending programs. Bill Clinton even urged the

Should we be wary of Jon Huntsman? Yes. Here's why. Townhall columnist Byron York mentions Huntsman's support for cap and trade and civil unions as troublesome for fiscal and social conservatives. But, so does Mitt Romney, one of the early frontrunners for the GOP. What's different about Huntsman? York points to the company Huntsman keeps: Huntsman's top campaign aide is John Weaver, who was

You've probably seen the television ad by the AARP accusing Congress of funding a treadmill for shrimp while cutting Medicare. Even Social Security. Well, it seems the ad is a little loose with the facts. The shrimp treadmill was funded by the National Science Foundation—an agency in the Executive branch—and not by Congress. It's ironic that the very people that accuse the Republicans of

The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been pushing an international regulation variously known as the Firearms Protocol or the Small Arms Treaty. The stated purpose of the Protocol is reducing the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms.

That would be a catastrophe. Here's why:(Reuters) - Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney broke with Republican orthodoxy on Friday by saying he believes that humans are responsible, at least to some extent, for climate change. "I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Netanyahu immediately rejected that call yesterday and rejected it again in front of the world today. “Israel cannot go back to 1967 lines,” Netanyahu said. “We can’t go back to the indefensible lines.”
