C. Edmund Wright - AMERICAN THINKER

While Barack Obama remains obsessed with George W. Bush , Sarah Palin hardly acknowledged his existence in Nashville at the Tea Party convention. Her "back to the future" vision for America skipped right over all the Bush years and went back to the principles of Ronald Reagan.
That was perfectly appropriate for the Tea Party convention. It is the zeitgeist of the movement.

The "kinder, gentler, compassionate conservatism" of Bushes 41 and 43 brought deeply flawed big-spending concepts that have become confusing distractions. Those twelve years of drift -- surrounding Newt Gingrich's forcing Bill Clinton to govern from the right -- have allowed liberals to blur issues and blame the failure of big government on conservatism. Ironic, isn't it? How's that new tone working out again, Mr. Rove?

"Well, now, if government planning and welfare had the answer, and they’ve had almost 30 years of it, shouldn’t we expect government to read the score to us once in a while? Shouldn’t they be telling us about the decline each year in the number of people needing help?”
(Ronald Reagan, 1964)
|
With that incisive phrase in his landmark speech on behalf of Barry Goldwater in 1964, Ronald Reagan began a remarkable career in American politics, which rejected the destructive choices of the modern elites and recast the questions about government to the benefit of his American conservative philosophy and the private citizen. It is a lesson that the Republican Party of 2010 needs to relearn if it is ever going to rephrase the argument and chart a path back to power — ironically, by giving power back to the American people.

OK..Correct me if I’m wrong (and I am sure you will).
When I was much younger and living in an entirely different world, I applied for a mortgage. As a newly minted member of the legal profession, I had no credit, no references and a small mountain of debt. My earnest and cloying “mortgage facilitator” suggested that I obtain a co-signer or guarantor. Even as a novice barrister, I didn’t understand what that entailed. I learned very quickly and, after a chorus of “no”, I signed a lease for a most comfortable apartment.
So, do I digress? Perhaps, but I think not. Fast forward to the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac crisis. What is it really about. Here’s what I think.
The folks in Congress, and out front with Barney Frank, decided that I—and you and the rest of us—were going to guarantee a bunch of mortgages.

Moderate Democrats, coping with the electoral fallout of President Barack Obama’s grand and ground-down legislative ambitions, have a message for their leaders: Stop supersizing us.
If the first year of Obama’s term was dominated by the so-called Big Bang push for enormous, politically risky initiatives — the stimulus, cap and trade and health care — Year Two is fast shaping up to be year of small ball, retrenchment and backlash.

YOUNGSTOWN — Among the five U.S. House members representing the Mahoning and Shenango valleys, Tim Ryan’s congressional campaign was the only one to spend more money than it raised last year and ended 2009 with the least amount of money on hand.
In 2009, the campaign of Ryan, of Niles, D-17th, raised $456,166, but spent $540,567.
Campaign finance reports for members of Congress and challengers who’ve raised at least $5,000 had to be filed by Sunday with the Federal Election Commission. The latest filing was for the period between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31.
As he did in every quarter but the one from July 1 to Sept. 30, Ryan spent more money in the last quarter of 2009 than he raised. Ryan raised $73,401 and spent $105,799 between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31.

April Sabo - 912 Project
A MESSAGE FROM:
Calling all Republicans that wish to take back our party and restore the Honor!
We must spread this across OH through all of the 9/12 groups, TEA Party Patriots, and any OH resident that is fed up with the Republican party and the corruption that comes along with politics.
Here is what we need to do....
There is a position, Central committeeman and committeewomen, for each congressional district in OH. There are 33 districts across OH. These positions are up for voting in May. These people control all of the money for the Republican Party on a State level, and they choose which candidates will run on the ticket.
