Morning Briefing
For February 26, 2014

The National Republican Senatorial Committee Attacks the GOP
The past two days the staff at the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) have  pushed news articles meant to tear down Milton Wolf, a doctor from Kansas and a candidate in the GOP Senate primary. You may be asking yourself why an official GOP organization is doing this, but the reason is very simple. The quickest way to find yourself the target of the NRSC’s wrath is to usurp the establishment power structure by challenging a long term incumbent.

Like many conservatives, Milton Wolf is displeased with the life long creatures of D.C. who tag an (R) behind their name then vote in unprincipled manners. Wolf did something about his displeasure, he dared to challenge a 17 year incumbent and 46 year veteran of D.C. politics in a GOP primary.


Beginning early Sunday morning and continuing through last night, Brad Dayspring, who works at the NRSC as, I kid you not, a strategist, has mentioned Milton Wolf’s name in association with the two hit pieces written about him 32 times. In that same time period Dayspring, again this guy is a strategist, directly mentioned Democrat Senators by name 16 times. That’s 2-1 ratio of attacks on a Republican Senate candidate versus attacks on any Democrat Senator or Senate candidate up for election this cycle. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

Democrats Exploiting Veterans to Grow Government
Unlike many modern-day functions of the federal government, caring for our wounded warriors is a core responsibility.  But as is the case with other government programs, liberals think that doubling down on a woefully inadequate VA system and throwing more money at the problem will improve care for veterans.  And similar to most other big government initiatives, Democrats are now using a highly-respected group of Americans as political human shields to obfuscate the harmful effects of their policies.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post


The Left goes after Mike Rowe and Wal-Mart’s dirty money
I’m a big fan of Mike Rowe, ever since his “Dirty Jobs” days.  That was my default TV show, before my present inexplicable fascination with home-remodeling programs began.  Every episode you’d see Mike throw himself into some unbelievably nasty line of work, cracking jokes as he was bathed in everything from raw sewage to bird droppings.  There will never be a show with more feces per minute of running time. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


The Great Establishment Deception on Winning Back Senate
The unambiguous strategy of the GOP establishment this year has been to avoid any and all confrontation in the hopes of gliding into a Senate majority in 2015.  To that end, they have capitulated on all of the major leverage points, passed a number of Democrat spending bills, and are in the process of pushing “small-ball” legislation in the House so as not to rock the boat before November. . . . please click here for the rest of the post
