America needs bigger people, which means smaller government; more honesty, which means less political rhetoric; more property, which requires less collectivism; and more liberty, which demands less compulsion, not better-hidden compulsion. A greater burden of law and bigger political initiatives means more of us will be redefined as criminals and losers, and we can’t afford that.
Former Texas Governor Rick Perry, currently preparing for a second presidential campaign, had a hard-hitting op-ed in the New Hampshire Union Leader on Friday, with a sharp critique of America’s current foreign policy aimed not just at President Barack Obama, but at Congressional leaders from both parties.
Recent suicides by two Missouri state politicians have raised questions on state ethics, according to an NPR report Thursday.
The exact number of agents working for the IRS is not relevant to either the joke Cruz was making, or the serious and legitimate point underlying it: the same government that pronounces itself utterly helpless to keep track of immigration scofflaws, or secure the border, is very aggressive about keeping tabs on law-abiding taxpayers.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) welcomes Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) into the race for the Republican nomination. “I am glad to welcome my friend Rand Paul into the 2016 GOP primary,” Cruz, the first in the 2016 presidential cycle to announce his bid for the White House, said in a statement.
Ahead of his campaign’s launch this week, Rand Paul released a viral video teasing his presidential campaign. People will expect the “different kind of Republican” presented in this video to have an enormous digital footprint.
Senate Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid has some decent things to say about the likely 2016 GOP presidential contenders. He appears to be personally fond of Sens. Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham, but says he wants former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to lose more than any of them.
There’s nothing ironic about Ted Cruz and his family enrolling in ObamaCare — it’s the law. And complying with laws you oppose is a universal American experience. Even Barack Obama had to comply with a few laws he opposed, until he seized dictatorial powers to rewrite them, and he hasn’t rewritten all of them yet.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) may have accidentally admitted that it’s worried about a Cruz GOP presidential campaign—noting in an email to supporters that his announcement “sent shivers down” their spines.
The next election will be won by an extraordinary conservative candidate, not one who strives to make himself acceptable to some vague mass of “moderates” that never actually shows up on Election Day.
If Politico’s bizarre hit piece on Marco Rubio is an example of Rubio’s “problems,” he’s in fantastic shape for a presidential run.
Despite what some writers may attempt to claim, Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is unlike anything else happening with any other political figure, now or in the past. It’s a unique attempt to avoid scrutiny, manipulate official correspondence and thus control the historical narrative.
Will Vice President Joe Biden launch a presidential bid? He’s had his troubles with women, of course. But now one of his supporters is rubbing a bit of salt in Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s email wounds.
Sometimes a newspaper misses the news. Rudy Giuliani’s “Obama doesn’t love America” comments aren’t especially controversial; Scott Walker’s aides thinking such comments could be made “off the record” is the real controversy.
Former South Carolina Senator, Jim DeMint, appearing on Breitbart News Sunday explained that he wouldn’t have left the U.S. senate for any other organization other than The Heritage Foundation. “They are the flagship of the conservative movement. People all over the country listen to our policy ideas,” he proudly stated.
The editors of the Wall Street Journal greeted the possibility of a third Mitt Romney bid for the Presidency in 2016 with a piece entitled “Romney Recycled.” They’re not big fans of this sort of recycling, and for good reasons. Romney may argue that he’s learned his lesson and improved his pitch, but it’s difficult to revise the strong impressions created during his presidential campaigns.
