Calling those of you who are young and give a damn

If you’re under the age of 40 and have yet to become jaded by the ineffectiveness of the listless leadership of the Cuyahoga County Republican Party, take note - you’re presence is requested (and will be greatly appreciated) at the next meeting of the CuyCo Young Republicans:
The Greater Cleveland Young Republicans will be holding the […]

Is McCain back?

My initial thoughts from tonight’s first post-Labor Day presidential GOP debate is that John McCain looked and sounded better than he has in years (and thus was the winner, hands down).  The senator from Arizona had the spark that made him so attractive in 2000.  Maybe it was the New Hampshire audience, maybe it was […]

One step closer to a run for the Senate

Showing that he’s serious about seeking the U.S. Senate seat for Virginia being vacated by John Warner at the end of this term, former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore took another step toward his campaign to assume Warner’s seat - today Gilmore launched his new website - the Gilmore Patriots Committee. 
From the site’s welcome message:
“The Gilmore Patriots […]

Gilmore waits as Warner wanes

My man Jim Gilmore has kept himself busy since his wise decision to step out of the GOP presidential nomination race earlier this summer.  He’s been blogging at the VirginiaPatriot and criss-crossing his home state gathering support and feedback as he considers mounting a campaign should long-time Senator John Warner join many incumbent Republicans who […]

New GOP Straw Poll

Time for the latest GOP presidential straw poll - good luck finding someone worthy of your vote… (BTW - note the GOP Bloggers‘ afterword regarding the Ron Paul campaign)

Some of you may be wondering about the absence of Ron Paul from this months straw poll. Let me explain. After my decision to include Ron Paul […]

With deference to a certain soon to be former US Senator from the state of Idaho…
For the record, so there is no doubt, I occasionally use profane terms and have been known to be sexually unchaste (at least in my misspent youth).
Thus ends my confession.
But how an weak individual is that unnamed Senator from Idaho for not […]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

… Oh Lord.
So said Phil Collins back in the day when Sussudio was something that we thought made sense.  But just like Sussudio was just gibberish leading nowhere, so is the current state of the local CuyCo GOP leadership and today Ralph King has hit it on the head.  Here’s an excerpt from today’s worthy post talking […]

My man Gilmore - still running for president?

The former governor of Virginia Jim Gilmore graciously bowed out of the Republican presidential horse race for nomination over a month ago, but that doesn’t stop liberals from trying to to bash his campaign… nice job Dr. Susan Blumenthal at the Huffington Post for including a link to his new post-campaign blog Virginia Patriot while trashing GOP […]

Rove says so long

Well, the inevitable happened - Karl Rove has tendered (interesting word “tender”) his resignation from the White House, and the sharks in the media both mainstream and otherwise are circling looking for some trace of blood upon which to strike.  According to the Wall Street Journal, Rove will leave his 1600 Pennsylvannia Avenue gig by […]
