You can say whatever you like about Republicans– it’s certainly true that they chose a far superior animal symbol than the Democrats did. Can there be any question that elephants win out over donkeys, every time? Tags: elephant, donkey, Republican, Democrat, elephant painting

Revolutions are long-term projects.” — Congressman Ron Paul Ron Paul has now said he is focused on continuing to further the message of liberty rather than continuing his presidential campaign (although he will continue to contest primaries and collect delegates).

The UNC School of Journalism reports statistics from a study that examined how the media handles stories related to prescription drugs. From 132 newscasts aired on ABC, NBC, and CBS, the Business & Media Institute found that 80% of the stories excluded the industry perspective altogether, not even asking the company for a statement on [...]

I recently received a survey from the “Republican Senate Leadership” with an enclosed letter from Senator John Ensign which says that I, as a “loyal grassroots Republican,” have been selected as a “representative of ALL REPUBLICANS living in your voting district” and the survey– of which only limited numbers were sent out– must be accounted [...]

Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson gave an interview for the December issue of Texas Monthly in which she decried independent journalists and bloggers in response to the question, “What are the chances that the Republicans will keep the White House?”: “It will be a close race, and the purple states are the states that will [...]

“Libertarianism is the heart and soul of conservatism.” That quote becomes more interesting when you find out that Ronald Reagan said it in 1975. Today would have been Reagan’s birthday. Why not sit back and listen to a vintage Reagan speech and decide which candidate is most like him among today’s GOP candidates (I’ll give [...]

For a few months (since the beginning of my site), I’ve had a page in the sidebar warning America (and the world, for that matter) about “Rudy Giuliani, Tax and Spend Liberal.” I’m glad to say that the T&SL has dropped out of the race– he was by far the worst candidate running, and I’m [...]

I was reading a fringe blogger today, who called Congressman Ron Paul “a fringe candidate” without mentioning him by name. That’s really amazing that a “fringe candidate” could come 3% away from placing 3rd in the first two major primaries of the election season.
