The Right Hook

I’ve been quiet for the past two weeks, and this is why.  Your regularly scheduled blogging will resume Monday, October 19th.

Krogh: Right Hook new way of reaching out

Bobby Jindal Hearts…ObamaCare?

1 10 2009

It’s funny, for a while it seemed like I was blogging aboot Bobby Jindal every other day, yet hasn’t had anything to say aboot him since March. After that disastrous performance giving the response to the Presidents SOTU (yes, I can call id disastrous and still be a conservative), he seemed to have stayed out of the spotlight since then.

That’s disappointing because his is a voice we as conservatives definitely need as part of the health care reform debate. His entire background revolves around medicine and the medical industry. He is to Republicans for health care what Mitt Romney is to the economy and Sarah Palin is to jobs. So when he finally spoke up aboot health care, I was excited.

I wasn’t quite expecting this though…

Where’s Rudy?

1 10 2009

I’ve always been a big fan of Rudy Giuliani’s, but I’m starting to lose patience. While other states already have their Senate and/or Gubernatorial candidates in place (in some states more than one), we keep hearing from Rudy that he’s “thinking aboot it” and that he’ll, at least in theory, make up his mind after this set of elections. He was also the only top New York Republican who wasn’t at this week’s convention that election Ed Cox as our new state party chair.

It could be because Cox want Rudy to run for Senate more than he does Governor. It makes sense. The popular rumour (which granted, changes daily) has Andrew Cuomo not wanting to primary current Governor David Patterson, and is only considering doing so if Rudy gets in. But also, Kristen Gillibrand should be a ripe target to pick off with the right candidate.

So sayeth The Hill

Marco Rubio is a Big, Fat RiNO

1 10 2009

Of course he isn’t, don’t be ridiculous. This is what we in the blogging hustle call a “bait and switch,” where we give you a crazy headline to grab your attention. We’re still going to talk aboot Rubio and RiNO’s, but he’s not the RiNO himself as much as he is the hunter.

The reason I took interest in the Florida race is because I thought it was a great example of the debate we need to have as a party nationwide. I’m not much of a “RiNO Hunter” myself. The two from the Maine, they’re the best we’re going to get up there. But in the case of Florida we had one candidate who checks off ALL the boxes (Rubio) against on who is nothing more than a younger, tanner Arlen Specter (current FL Gov. Charlie Crist).

The Republican Party NEEDS Marco Rubio, and for further examples why, I give you the far left liberal rag “Human Events….”

Sarah Palin is Bigger than Jesus

30 09 2009

Sarah Palin’s memoirs come out in November entitled, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” which will be awesomely awesome because we’ll be able to kick of the 2010 campaign season with a Palin inspired media frenzy, especially the parts of the book that, “…describe Ms. Palin’s frustration over her treatment by the staffers she inherited from the McCain campaign after her surprise pick as the GOP vice presidential nominee last year.”

Though while the media will be outraged and anonymous “strategists” will criticize without having the balls to do so publically, there is still a huge pro-Palin contingent in the country. Now, that doesn’t mean they want her to ever run again. I consider myself to be pro-Palin, but wouldn’t vote for her for President…at least not in 2012. But out in America, the folks love themselves some Sarah.

So sayeth Politico

Mike Huckabee = Ronald Reagan v2.0

30 09 2009

This will drive some folks in the blogosphere nuts.

Ever since he dropped out of the 2008 race, most people have said Mitt Romney was the “next Reagan,” drawing a parallel between Ronald Reagan’s first failed run for the nomination against Gerald Ford in 1976. Romney has the look of a President, plus the economic and business background to help deliver us from a failed Jimmy Carter presidency.

But what if it isn’t Romney who fulfills the “Ronald Reagan” role in the upcoming Presidential elections? What if there’s another former Governor who is making all the same moves as Reagan did, albeit without as much as the coverage? The American Thinker makes the case that there is someone, and he’s just a small town boy from a place called Hope. Mike Huckabee.

Before the hatemail and flaming starts, the man does make a good point…

Obama Hates His Job

30 09 2009

I walked into the boss’s office the other day. We both see eye to eye politically and spend a fair share of time in the same echo chamber, so our biases are evident. But we still both has to shrug our shoulders because while there’s trouble brewing (again) in Iran, a war going on in Afghanistan, a health care debate going on that the President likes to use the politics of fear with saying that people are going to die if his bill isn’t passed, and an economy that’s still in the crapper…yet the President is going to Brussels just to argue for Chicago to get the Olympics in 2016. Really Sparky?

As a side, imagine the news outrage if George Bush did the same to bring the Olympics to Houston. Just saying.

The President seems to not like to stay home and/or go to work, or at least make it look like it which is just as important. Now, admitting that I spend a fair share of time in the echo chamber, I have been known not to be fair, but even cats from his own side of the aisle are starting to call him out on it. Richard Cohen, the floor is yours…
