How Exactly Will the GOP Cut $100 Billion?
By not in system - AOL NewsHouse Republicans are promising to cut $100 billion from the federal budget, but they're not quite ready to explain how just yet. What they won't cut is homeland security, the military and services for veterans -- a nice gesture after a decade of war, but one that means the other federal programs, like transportation and education, would have to be cut by about 20 percent. That could mean, for example, Pell Grants would be cut by $700 for 8 million students, 40,000 teachers and school aides would lose their jobs, and funding for research and cops would drop, to say nothing of laid-off federal ...
National Review, RedState Divided Over the GOP's 'Pledge to America'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyWhen it comes to the GOP's new "Pledge to America," which will be unveiled officially Thursday morning, the venerable National Review and the popular conservative blog RedState don't quite see eye to eye. A glowing editorial on National Review says: The inevitable question will be: Is the pledge as bold as the Contract? The answer is: The pledge is bolder. The Contract with America merely promised to hold votes on popular bills that had been bottled up during decades of Democratic control of the House. The pledge commits Republicans to working toward a broad conservative agenda that, if ...
Conservatives Divided Over Delaware Tea Party Candidate Christine O'Donnell
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyThe 2010 Republican primary elections have pleasantly provided us with many examples of conservative insurgents ousting establishment insiders. But as I noted yesterday, Tuesday's GOP primary in Delaware is different. It is the first time bona fide conservatives are sharply divided over whether to support the Tea Party candidate (Christine O'Donnell) over the establishment candidate (Rep. Mike Castle). This is not to say that O'Donnell has not received her fair share of conservative support. She has been endorsed by Sarah Palin, the NRA, and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), for example. ...
Conservatives Rally Around Shirley Sherrod
By not in system - AOL News(July 22) -- A number of high-profile conservatives are speaking out against the ousting of U.S. Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod. Sherrod's resignation was announced on Tuesday after conservative pundit Andrew Breitbart posted an edited video of her speaking at an NAACP banquet in 1986. In the video, Sherrod, who is black, admits to not doing everything she could to help a white farmer. The NAACP quickly denounced Sherrod's words, calling them "shameful" and appalling. In a statement reporting her resignation, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said, "There is zero tolerance ...
GOP Navigates Desperation Straits
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAs we approach the final week of the campaign, a palpable sense of desperation has overtaken the Republican party. John McCain seems poised to suffer an epic defeat. He has abandoned the Bill Ayers strategy in favor of Joe the Plumber. Neither seems to be doing much good. The RNC is diverting money from the presidential campaign in a last ditch hope to save congressional seats. Democrats are on the verge of taking a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and will certainly expand upon their superiority in the House. Meanwhile, GOP pundits have formed a circular firing squad, excoriating one ...
Sarah Palin, Wink, Wink
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAndrew Sullivan highlighted the following love letter from the National Review's Rich Lowry regarding Sarah Palin's debate performance:I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. Never mind that the right began this campaign complaining about Barack Obama's ...
