Bloodbath Leading to Obama’s Re-election?
This presidential campaign is the most disappointing since McCain became the GOP nominee in 2008. Hardcore conservatives do not have an acceptable candidate in the race, but reality dictates that we will have to vote against Obama by voting for the nominee, like it or not! For the grassroots newcomers, this will not be an easy thing to do. Posted under:

Sometimes it is difficult to recollect what events had an impact on our lives. Your list of the most important events of 2011 may Posted under:

Conservatives on my mind
Even Erick Erickson of Red State says he’s ready to go “none of the above.” But “none of the above” won’t cut it this year. We are fighting an incumbent that is almost guaranteed Posted under:
Now That We Know The GOP Presidential Candidates Are Flawed...Who Is Your Pick?
Now that the Liberal mainstream media has decided what we should think about our GOP candidates, it may be time we take a good hard look at them through their eyes. Posted under:
Character, How Important Is It For A President?No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States. - George Washington
There is nothing more critical, more pressing than to have a person in the White House we can trust. We should be so afraid to elect someone to the office of President who does not have any moral fiber. Posted under:

As we all know, many states’ primaries, and the Electoral College system (which preserves a semblance of states’ rights) operate on a “winner-take-all” basis. The winner, even if it is only by a small handful or even a single vote, gets all of the delegates or electors. (The GOP is changing some of this, but that will be saved for a future article.) 
Republican Candidates are Turning out to be Obama’s best asset!
Rick Santorum had a huge victory in the Iowa Caucus. He came within 8 votes of beating Romney out for first place. This 25% tie (almost a win) will give Santorum the media attention he needs to compete in future Primaries and Caucuses. Romney and Santorum share the delegates from Iowa with Romney getting 13 and Santorum getting 12. It really is a joke to think that these early primaries and caucuses can carry so much weight. The winner only gets 13 delegates! It takes over 1000 delegates to win the nomination!
The ongoing election leaves us all, at least the Patriots on the conservative end in somewhat of a quandary. Most importantly, where in the heck are we to put our precious and single vote. We get to choose our candidate to run against the current incumbent and we get to vote for the one of those two that we like best. It seems simple on the surface but in reality, it gets more and more complicated everyday.
Conservatives understand that we shouldn’t make the perfect the enemy of the good. Personally, I’m reluctant to criticize Republican candidates before even one vote is cast in the Primaries. But Conservatives also know that if we ignore our principles for expediency, we risk losing both. if we learned anything in 2008, that is.
This election is the idea election, and it is an election in which political parties are changing as liberalism and conservatism are being redefined for the 21st century. The Tea Party has driven the Republican agenda and Occupy Wall Street protesters are the street activists for the hard left that dominate the Democratic Party apparatus.
