Make sure to tune in.

Make it Flake

Anti-earmark Rep. Jeff Flake is running for a seat on the House Appropriations Committee.

There's info at his site detailing how you can help him.  Why should you help?  Because helping Flake now will personalize the pain and resentment you feel toward the GOP leadership when they choose some pork-addicted Congressman for the spot instead.

Congressional sleepover

After running a completely debt-free campaign, Congressman-elect Jason Chaffetz is planning on foregoing an apartment in DC for a cot in his office.

His political director says that she's been getting all kinds of calls from national media wanting to interview him about this.  Oh, and that he was elected unanimously to represent the freshman class in the Republican Policy Committee. 

P.S. - Keep those fingers crossed.

Rebuild the Party ideas needed

Especially if you're not a Paulbot, as they seem to have gravitated to that site. 

Sad.

1975 Redux

To paraphrase President Reagan, it's bold colors vs. pale pastels corner all over again. 

In the bold colors corner we have Gov. Palin!, in the pale pastels corner we have Govs. Charlie Crist and Tim Pawlenty. 

May the best woman (yeah, woman) win!

Now, I must go off and bravely eat sushi in...Kentucky.

No crap.

Alternately titled: "Why I love Sen. Jim DeMint":

South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint on Friday became one of the first high-profile Republicans to publicly criticize John McCain following his electoral defeat, blaming the Arizona senator for betraying conservative principles in his quest for the White House.

[...]

"McCain, who is proponent of campaign finance reform that weakened party organizations and basically put George Soros in the driver's seat," DeMint said. "His proposal for amnesty for illegals. His support of global warming, cap-and-trade programs that will put another burden on our economy. And of course, his embrace of the bailout right before the election was probably the nail in our coffin this last election. And he has been an opponent of drilling in ANWR, at a time when energy is so important. It really didn't fit the label, but he was our package."

But lest we forget, this is the model for winning elections, so we've been told.  As we move forward, we need to ignore the fact that a squishy moderate nearly got served up a Mondale-sized landslide defeat and continue nominating squishy moderates.  We need more strong, principled leaders like David Brooks and Christie Todd Whitman.

Send Sarah a Letter

The National Federation of Republican Women has declared Monday, November 24, Sarah Palin Appreciation Day.  For some reason, this isn't published on the publicly accessible portion of their website, but it's bopping around the internet enough that I don't think it's a secret.  You can send her a letter thanking her for leadership at:

Governor Sarah Palin
P.O. Box 110001
Juneau, AK 99811

No sticky, gooey, vodka-stained, hobo-corpse-smelling fantasy fanfic please.  This is a lady we're talking about.  A lady who probably handles a shotgun much better than you.

In case you didn't notice...

Karol caught a bit of the Hopenchange Fevuh (but in a good, hilarious, spiteful way).

'Cuda Attack!

I still have some lingering...well...a lot...of Palinmania!, and this interview she did with an Alaska radio station yesterday leaves me with little doubt that she isn't going to shy away from the national stage.  She's relaxed, and sounds even more normal and composed than usual.  Just chit-chatting it up.

Part 1.

Part 2.

Part 3.

Part 4. 

Highlights?  The 'Cuda discussing the anonymous attacks and calling them "flippin' bizarre."  She talks about what a national campaign under her direction would look like.  (Note that her ideas are very different than the McCain model.)  The hosts calling up Hollis French (yes, that Hollis French) so the two of them could hug it out at the end of the show. 

She's not going anywhere.  With a 91% positive approval ratings within the GOP, why should she.  (Let's face it, those other 9% live in DC and NYC anyways, so their votes won't matter to the GOP.)

Bonus:  They also interviewed Piper Palin, but I have yet to listen to that.

Tell McCain to stand up for Palin

There is a link on his campaign site where you can send your thanks to John McCain.  I thanked him for his service to our country, and suggested he defend Gov. Palin against spiteful staffers.

Operation Leper

RedState is going to be working to find out who the smacktards that are smearing Gov. Palin are, keeping an eye on them, and when elections roll around, crush them and the candidates they're working with.

And we'll definitely be supporting RedState in that venture.  This won't go unpunished.

Damn straight

Attention New Hampshire "Republicans," I need you to read this:

First, and absolutely foremost, we can not allow anyone like John McCain to ever be our candidate ever again. Republicans win when they act like Republicans, not when they do some 'reaching across the aisle' nonsense. Oh, John McCain was popular with Democrats? How wonderful for him. When Democrats got a choice between voting for a Democrat and voting for their favorite Republican who sometimes acted like a Democrat, they chose the Democrat. Mindblowing, I know.

And this comes from a woman who knew (much to her dismay) that John McCain would be the nominee when everyone else thought he was dead in the water. 

Make sure you read the whole thing (because it's smart, not necessarily becuase I get a shout out in it).
