RedState Briefing 12/05/2012


Morning Briefing
For December 5, 2012



1. Conservatives Actually Suck at This
John Boehner can do whatever the heck he wants to. The GOP could be making the argument that the White House has offered nothing on spending and the American people want spending cuts as much as they are okay with tax increases, but instead John Boehner will publicly negotiate with himself.

And he can. He can throw conservatives off fiscal committees without consequence.

Conservatives can complain, moan, wail, and scream all they want. They can call for third parties or no parties or sit at home.

It doesn’t really matter. Conservatives suck at this and the leadership knows it. . . . please click here for the rest of the post 


2. Even an Ugly Cat Knows This
When you come to RedState, you aren’t charged. The Morning Briefing is free. You want a RedState account? You got one. You want to comment? Okay.

We’re free.

Like listening to the radio, you don’t have to pay. We make our money off of ads. It’s simple.

But you guys complain. Some of the ads are annoying. Okay — some of the ads are damn annoying. When I see my face pop up on my own screen, I just pretend I’m playing that old Ninetendo duck shooting game and click to make it go away. You should too.

What’s the point?

Well, even an ugly cat knows you can’t get something for nothing.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post 

3.  The Members Behind the Purge of Conservatives
Yesterday, we noted that not only did House leadership select moderates to fill vacant spots on the top congressional committees, they made the unprecedented decision to banish conservatives already sitting on some important committees.  All of the decisions related to committee assignments are decided by a Steering Committee.  At present, the Steering Committee is comprised of 31 members, most of who are either members of leadership or pushed onto the committee by leadership.  These are the men and women behind the decision to throw conservatives under the bus. . . . please click here for the rest of the post 

4.  Workplace Freedom States Soared While Ohio and Michigan Economies Crashed
Job creation in Ohio lagged far behind all 22 workplace freedom states from 1991 to 2011, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) records. Without cherry-picking data as union bosses must in order to defend forced unionism, total seasonally adjusted non-farm employment growth shows a huge advantage for residents of right to work states.

With the exception of Indiana, which passed a right to work law in February 2012, Ohio and each of its neighbors – Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky – allow unions to force workers to pay dues as a condition of employment.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post
