Operation RINO Hunt
The Clark County Republican Party took a HUGE step in the “right” direction last Tuesday evening when it overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution censuring six Republican state legislators who voted for SB 249 – a bill to raise sales and payroll taxes by $781 million. For the record and by popular demand, those […]
Time for Elected Republicans to Pay Franchise Fee
In California, state Republican legislators who run on the GOP’s name, use GOP resources, use GOP volunteers and owe their elections to the core of GOP voters living in their districts contribute 10 percent of the money they raise to the state Republican Party to help underwrite party operations. A similar “tithing” system ought to […]
Close the Tax-Hike Loophole
In the winter of 2008, the teachers union put a gun to gaming’s head and demanded that they do something to pump more money into teachers’ pockets “voluntarily” or they would gather the signatures needed to put a gaming tax hike on the ballot. Three gaming companies blinked and gave in to the extortion. Thus, […]
Liberal Paper Embraces Vouchers?
The Las Vegas Sun’s liberal editorial page on Thursday endorsed a congressional proposal to give people “vouchers of up to $4,500 to replace” an old, out-dated product with one that gets better performance. The paper encourages Congress “to send a voucher bill to President Obama quickly.”
GOP Foot-Soldiers Leading Conservative Uprising
As kids we were taught that actions have consequences. But for years now moderate Republican elected officials in Nevada have been getting away with violating the party’s core principles on fiscal conservatism with impunity. Those days are now over.
The Further Misadventures of Li’l Nate
The following is a combined report on Nathan Taylor and last night’s special meeting of the Clark County Central Committee at which Li’l Nate showed up and made an ass of himself…yet again.
The Love Connection with Li’l Nate
Sometimes I get into email fights with irrelevant bozos just for the pure, sadistic sport of it. So it is with a has-been yet still wet-behind-the-ears yahoo named Nathan Taylor who has elevated the childish rant to a new level in his blog, concluding his most recent post with: “Good luck Chuckie….your political influence is […]
A Paultard Crawls Out from His Rock
Speaking of irrelevant yahoos, Robert Holloway – a Paultard’s Paultard (and I’m speaking of the wacko fringe of Ron Paul’s legions, not the rational rank-and-file) – is back in the swing of things, taking issue with the Clark County GOP for holding a special meeting tonight to consider a resolution criticizing Republicans in the Legislature […]
Anybody Butt Harry
The big news this week was the release of a list of prominent Nevada Republicans who have signed onto the Harry Reid campaign for another six, long years in the United States Senate. I’m was neither impressed nor discouraged.
Ol’ McHorsford Had a Farm…EIEIO
In a Las Vegas Sun cover story in today’s paper, Democrat Senate Minority Leader Steven Horsford “lamented the failure to pass his education reform bill, which would have brought sweeping change to the education bureaucracy while introducing merit pay and other reforms.” The Majority Leader told the paper that “the state’s flagging education system is […]
Welcome to the Grand Delusion
Gov. Jim Gibbons is still governing in denial, telling anybody who will listen that he was the taxpayers’ savior this session and that without him the Billion Dollar Tax Hike would have been much worse. In a word…. Bull.
Revenge of the RINOs
The battle for the soul of the Republican Party rages on, with the latest skirmish popping up in Arizona. The following letter was sent yesterday to the Arizona Republican Party chairman by our good friend and taxpayer champion Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform…
Political Pimple on a RINO’s Butt
There’s a long overdue battle brewing right now between conservatives and moderates in the Republican Party – both at the state and national level. The moderates have been running the show in Congress and the Nevada Legislature for at least the last decade, and by constantly selling out the party’s principles on fiscal conservatism – […]
Limp-Noodle Republicans v. Senora Sotomayor
Picture Gen. Lee’s army in full battle retreat, bugles blaring, white flags blowing wildly in the wind, hound dogs barking and yelping among the thundering hooves of panicked horses running for their lives with pots and pans clanging loudly as they’re dragged through the dirt, kicking up giant clouds of dust.
Revenge of the Raggio Republicans
Here’s something most folks probably don’t know about how our Legislature operates….other than how the government doesn’t crash under its own weight thanks to all the boobs we’ve elected to “represent” us.
Gov’t Gets Gold, Biz Gets Shaft
There are three things businessmen need know about the 2009 session of the Legislature:
Finally…the Finale
Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford (D-Mining/Gaming/Big Labor) wrapped up the 2009 session yesterday with a floor speech that included the following: “We did what the people of Nevada wanted us to do.” The people of Nevada wanted a billion dollar tax hike? I….don’t….think….so.
