Newt Rips Gore

An older video but, pretty funny. I ran across this again tonight so I figured I would post it.

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend.

Message From Crowder

I love Steven Crowder and this latest video is very touching so, I wanted to go ahead and post it.

Rick Perry Running For President

AP- File

Rick Perry has now announced he is officially running for president.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is running for president, a spokesman confirmed Thursday, a move certain to shake up the race for the GOP nomination much to the delight of conservatives looking for a candidate to embrace.

Click title of post for full story.

But Perry also has never run a national campaign before, and it's unclear whether his Texas swagger and sometimes unorthodox policy positions will sit well with GOP primary voters outside his state. Another open question is whether he can raise the money necessary to mount a strong campaign against those who have been in the race for months or more.

Well, most people have not run a national campaign before. So what? Is this the brightest observation they can find? Really?

Personally, I'm not sure if Perry is the answer The Right is looking for but, I'm positive it's not Romney. I don't want 2012 to be like the last election. We had real, solid conservatives running and we ended up nominating the most liberal pile of crap to represent the Republicans.

The problem stems from the states that have more electoral votes seem to be run by extreme liberals. They pick the candidates, as we witnessed in 2008. The states that McCain won were NOT states that Republicans would win in the presidential election. It was Huckabee that swept the Southern states and he was a far better candidate, and would have had a much greater chance of beating Obama.

Even if you want to give Obama the benefit of the doubt, this administration has been nothing short of an utter failure. Blaming Bush for everything under the sun just is no longer going to cut it. If the democrats are so much better then they had plenty of time to fix things and build the economy. They have done nothing but make our situation worse, whining and crying the entire time. Had they focused on solutions and not pointing blame, maybe they would have accomplished something.

What do you think of Perry? Is this move positive for the conservative movement? Comment below. Have a great weekend, my beautiful babies.

Crazed Bachmann

Michele Bachmann's Newsweek cover leaves a lot to be desired -- like sanity.

What on earth is this?

Yahoo! News

Seriously? Why do these people even bother? Don't we all think it's about time the media just come out and say they are a bunch of commies?

Who on earth does this to a person? I don't know if it's sexist as much as it is them being against conservatives. They always resort to these childish tactics of trying to make someone look bad but that's because they can't fight us on the level of logical discussion. Why not challenge her and her ideas instead?

Mind you, I don't think this is the most important story of the day. I just thought I would comment because some of these other stories are just a little bit "heavy" for me today.
