Morning Briefing
For February 3, 2014
Time to Change. Time to Choose.
When
the White House and Congress of the United States of America were
controlled by Republicans, the nation found itself at war. It was a war
not asked for by America, but one we were dragged into by terrorists who
wished us dead. Some tried to blame America. Some claimed it was
because of the cycle of poverty and violence our enemies suffered. They
ignored facts. But George W. Bush kept us safe. His foreign policy was
not perfect, but far better than the present blundering of Barack Obama.
Unfortunately,
while George W. Bush focused on keeping us safe, his party waged war on
thrift and small government domestically. Hiding behind war spending,
the Republicans in Congress, with the President’s blessing, destroyed
any sense of reasonableness to the size and scope of the federal
government. They passed Medicare Part D, expanding entitlements. They
passed No Child Left Behind, expanding the federal government’s
incursion into state run public schools and setting the stage for Common
Core. When the GOP, finally fat and corrupt with members of Congress
being carted off to jail, was removed from control of Congress, the GOP
continued. They helped pass TARP. Senate Republican Leader Mitch
McConnell called it one of the finest days ever in the history of the
Senate. They passed the General Motors bail out.
When
President Bush left office and Barack Obama came in, the GOP faltered.
They, once back in control of the House, refused to do everything they
said they would do to kill Obamacare. They caved and surrendered more
often than the French in the face of mice. They started spending again.
They held to sequestration until they had cover to let it go. They
raised taxes hiding behind Paul Ryan’s charm. And now, again, when the
nation continues its fury about Obamacare, the Republicans plan to
divide their own side with a fight over immigration.

Barry Loudermilk in GA-11
Barry Loudermilk is a candidate for Congress
in Georgia’s 11th Congressional District. The incumbent, Phil Gingrey,
is leaving his seat to run for the U.S. Senate.
Barry
is running against some fine and decent people. But as I have said
repeatedly, conservatives this time need to find some good disruptive
candidates who will go to Washington and be willing to tell their own
side no. I know that Barry will and I know that his opponents are less
like to do so than him. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
The GOP Pulls Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory Because They Can
As
incredible as it may sound, both major political parties have decided to
throw in the towel on the 2014 elections. Both parties made their
announcements true to their traditions. The Democrats did it in their
typically coy way, having their plutocrat masters hint that no money
would be forthcoming for House races. The Republicans did it by calling
their base racist and telling it . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Obama Spills the Beans on the Citizenship Fig Leaf
Based
on the statements from most House GOP leaders, it appears that the
major fig leaf in the latest push for open borders will be “legalization
without citizenship.” Let’s
put aside for a moment the fact that the Dream Act will directly or
indirectly grant citizenship and bring in millions of illegal immigrants
without any other amnesty legislation. The broad notion of a permanent or long-term legal status without citizenship is preposterous. Look no further than Obama’s response to . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
DCCC Resorts to Desperate Contradictory Memos About Lobbyists and Party-Switchers
If
you actually read through some of the paper that the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee is putting out, you’ll start to get the
impression that the Democrats have stopped trying to take back the
House this year. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
