RedState Message 11/25/2013

Good Morning, Just wanted to check in with you now that I’m back from London.  I must confess I don't feel guilty for oversleeping and just now getting this out the door. Christy and I got back from London late yesterday and basically have been asleep since. I realize I told you that I wouldn't be sending the Morning Briefing this week, but there are some notes worth highlighting this morning. It seems I have missed little. Apparently, every reporter in America felt compelled last week to write accounts of where they were when John F. Kennedy died. Those reporters not yet born, revised history enough to make it work.  It's like the press has finally realize Barack Obama is no longer qualified to be secular Jesus, so they've gone back to JFK. Mitch McConnell hates Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and conservatives. Interestingly, when a donor claimed McConnell said something disparagingly about Cruz and Lee at a Crossroads event, Crossroads let a reporter listen to the call, but would not give the reporter an unedited copy. And while the reporter did not hear specific mentions of Lee and Cruz, he did hear McConnell attack conservative groups, plural, not just the Senate Conservatives Fund. That plural means you and me. Harry Reid blew up the filibuster, which will allow Republicans to pack the courts should they take back the White House and Senate in 2016. If Iran likes its bomb, it can keep its bomb. Seriously people — I’m all about “trust but verify,” but when the media is even reporting the deal requires less inspections than the IAEA thinks are reasonable to ensure Iran isn’t building a bomb, it’s only a matter of time before Israel attacks Iran and Saudi Arabia starts using its oil money to buy nukes from Pakistan. Oh, and a majority finally realize Barack Obama is a liar. Today, though, I see the New Republic is attacking Mike Needham using quotes from anonymous Republicans. Now, first, please understand the New Republic is a liberal publication that does not like conservatives. Second, read just the first few paragraphs and you’ll discover the New Republic’s entire article is premised on anonymous attacks by Republicans. That Republicans too scared to use their name on the record are running off to a liberal publication to attack Heritage Action for America and Mike Needham speaks volumes. What’s more, as Barack Obama’s polling collapses and Americans realize Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and the Republicans clearly defined themselves as fully opposed to Obamacare and the Democrats were willing to shut down the government to keep it going, these anonymous Republicans are choosing to re-litigate the shutdown fight in a liberal publication. You can read the rest of this here and I do hope you will. >> Today's Sponsor Sincerely yours, Erick Erickson Editor-in-Chief, RedState Forward This Email to a Friend Take me to RedState
