The question isn’t why Sarah Palin is helping John McCain. The question is: What are you doing to stop him from cementing his Big Government Republican legacy?

Good morning, readers. Hope you didn’t party too hard last night. If you went to bed early (as opposed to those of us who never went to sleep!), you can catch up on all the election live-blogging fun here. My syndicated column today dissects the twin meltdowns of Bay State and Beltway Democrats. But even [...]

How ya like these red apples?

(h/t Mary Katharine Ham)
January 19 was an amazing day for grass-roots conservatism. But the Beltway GOP should be warned against unjustified triumphalism. They were late to the game. Activists still haven’t, and won’t, forget the massive amounts of money Washington, D.C. Republicans wasted on Dede Scozzafava. And Scott Brown quite [...]

The shot heard ’round the world.

Oh, dear. The Democrats need a collective anti-depressant. On the eve of President Obama’s one-year anniversary in office, euphoria has turned to ennui.
Check out this afternoon’s headlines:
Gibbs: Obama ‘not pleased’ by closeness of Mass. election
Hoyer: Voters upset about GOP obstructionism, not Dem agenda
Barney Frank: ‘God Didn’t Create the Filibuster’
To all of my Tea Party friends: [...]

On Sunday night, Public Policy Polling (swing state specialists) released the latest stunning numbers in the Massachusetts Senate race. Martha Antoinette Coakley is hemorrhaging independents and the enthusiasm gap is widening as the Bay State heads into the January [...]

Harry Reid thinks you’re a racist for opposing the government health care takeover. He’s using your money to pay off Demcare wobblers. Nevadans are getting sick and tired of him. His fellow Democrats are dropping like flies.
And tomorrow, Dingy Harry will be in Las Vegas for a health care event. Organizing for America is [...]

New York Times columnist David Brooks will never let an opportunity pass to remind you that he is an intellectual and you are a grimy member of the unwashed masses. His column today pays a back-handed tribute to the success of the Tea Party movement…while bemoaning the decline of influence among the [...]

I’ll be spotlighting best-of images and stories of 2009 throughout the day.
First-up: One of my favorite Tea Party signs sent in by a reader in Raleigh, NC:

Let’s make it an operating slogan of 2010.

I listened to Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell on Sean Hannity’s radio show yesterday.
He sounded tired and barely able to rally the troops against the Democrats’ government health care takeover.
He told Sean’s guest host at the end of an obligatory-sounding critique of Harry Reid that, and I quote, “We’re going to fight ‘em all the [...]

Memo to GOP candidates: Do not call yourself the “Tea Party backed candidate” if, in fact, Tea Party groups aren’t backing you.
Embarrassing details here: Ugh.
Where’s that head-banging-against-the-wall graphic?
Ah, there:

Turkeys of the year

As we gather ‘round the Thanksgiving table, bow our heads in prayer, and feast on the holiday bird, it is only fitting to take a moment to fete the unforgettable turkeys of 2009.
1. The stimulus. Back in February, I wrote that if the trillion-dollar stimulus plan were a [...]

I’ve linked in previous years to the word of the year announcement by Oxford University Press. It’s usually good fun and water cooler-worthy.
Today, OUP unveiled 2009’s word of the year: “Unfriend.”
But it was one of the runner-up words that caught my eye:
“Teabagger.”
Yes, they chose “teabagger” and defined it thusly:
teabagger -a person, who protests President Obama’s [...]

The Tea Party movement is going strong from the reddest of red states to the bluest corners of the country. In the Bay Area, limited government activists have held several large protests since the beginning of the year. Over the weekend, they gathered for a “sick-in” in San Francisco to protest the House health care [...]

GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann has put out a call for a march on Washington DC at noon this Thursday to stop the government health care takeover.
Meet her on the steps of the Capitol.

The most prominent GOP endorser of radical leftist NY-23 congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava is openly musing about running for president in 2012.
No, thanks:
Callista and I are going to think about this in February 2011. And we are going to reach out to all of our friends around the country. And we’ll decide, if there’s a [...]

Call them out.

Plus: Reuters punked. And a Balloon-Boy/media conspiracy?

“It’s time for conservatives to show the Republican establishment who’s in charge.”

What up?!

We chuckled the other day about the San Francisco Chronicle item on the White House angst over possible protests during President Obama’s visit yesterday.
Well, the protesters came out in full force — on the left AND the right.
The City Square has photos of the eclectic Tea Party — which won’t be featured on the White [...]

Yes, it’s time for the upside-down elephant. The Stupid Party is at it again. The subject of today’s column: An abomination in the NY23 special congressional race to replace former GOP Rep. John McHugh, who accepted President Obama’s Army Secretary position. Way to go, Beltway GOP establishment. Grass-roots fiscal conservatives are fired up over ACORN, [...]

My friends in the Tea Party movement have launched a new project inviting all Americans to help develop a list of top ten unanswered health care questions for President Obama.

I’m in Nashville today for the inaugural Smart Girl Politics summit.
These ladies were instrumental in the Tea Party movement and are organizing limited government activists across the country at the local and state level. It’s an incredible story — and you’ll never hear/read about it in the Washington Post Style section or on The View.

All wee wee’d up.

I can’t make it to Washington DC today for the national 9/12 march, but I’m with all the marchers in spirit.
It’s been an unprecedented year for limited government activism. It would never have been possible without the early initiative of grass-roots leaders in the #tcot community on [...]

Good morning, all.
Woke up early to talk about Communist-whitewashing Rep. Diane Watson on Fox and Friends.
A few quick hits while I get my kids ready for school:

I already gave out one Cone of Shame award today. Officer Wesley Cheeks just needs a Bozo the Clown mask. Watch as he tells a town hall protester in Reston, Virginia, that he can “charge [him] with whatever I want to” because the protester is holding up a sign he doesn’t like.
When the protester [...]

Today is the nationwide grass-roots recess rally against socialized medicine. Folks across the country will be gathering at congressional offices to make their voices heard.
Don’t tone it down.
Crank it up.
