Has Obama's Health Care Win Driven Conservatives Crazy?
By David Corn - Politics DailyNot all progressives have been enthusiastic about President Barack Obama's health care overhaul from a policy perspective. It cedes a lot of control to private insurance companies; there is no public option. But they have at least one good reason to love the package: it has driven conservatives crazy. Case in Point No. 1: Thomas Sowell. He's a prominent conservative intellectual, with an impressive right-wing pedigree. He's currently the Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He has taught at UCLA, Amherst, Brandeis, and Cornell. He's written ...
David Frum Attacks Me (Now I Can Die a Happy Man)
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyThe debate over the heart and soul of conservatism continues, and the latest skirmish is apparently between neoconservative David Frum and yours truly. Frum, it seems, was offended by my recent comments about conservatism on Bloggingheads, an online talk show where bloggers debate the issues of the day. My intent was to respond to an e-mailer, who had asked me my definition of what constitutes a conservative. Interestingly, I don't think I even mentioned Frum in this particular segment, though I have certainly mentioned him in the past. For those unfamiliar with Bloggingheads, it should be ...
GOP's Crist Endorsements Anger Conservatives
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyThere has long been tension between Republican leaders and movement conservatives, but efforts to elect Republicans in 2010 are doing nothing to bring the sides together.When Senator Arlen Specter switched parties, several prominent Republican leaders immediately urged Governor Tom Ridge, a Republican moderate, to run.

Even now, many Republicans are searching for a moderate who is capable of winning the primary. Despite polling that shows him competitive -- and the fact ...
Top 10 Most Annoying Republicans
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyAll this talk about Sen. Arlen Specter's defection -- and the instant karma that ensued -- got me fantasizing about other Republicans who ought to follow him out the door. The following list is by no means comprehensive -- and I do reserve the right to amend it -- but for now, these are the 10 Republicans who annoy me most ... 1. Kathleen Parker - If you've heard of Kathleen Parker, it is probably because of her now-famous early criticisms of Sarah Palin. The defining column came in September 2008, when she condescendingly wrote: "Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she ...
David Frum Says the Unthinkable: Rush Limbaugh is Wrong
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWriting in Newsweek, conservative thinker and former Bush speech writer David Frum lays out the straight-forward case as to why Rush Limbaugh is, pure and simple, political "kryptonite":And for the leader of the Republicans? A man [Limbaugh] who is aggressive and bombastic, cutting and sarcastic, dismisses the concerned citizens in network news focus groups as "losers." With his private plane and cigars, his history of drug dependency and his personal bulk, not to mention his tangled marital history, Rush is a walking stereotype of self-indulgence--exactly the image that Barack Obama most ...
