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.

NY Young Republicans announce talk show

Krogh: Right Hook new way of reaching out

Lynn Krogh, Chair of the New York State Young Republicans, today announced the premiere of “The Right Hook,” a new production from the country’s largest young republican organization.

“Internet radio is the newest rage and newest way to reach out to the public,” said Krogh.  “This program will discuss hot news items, upcoming YR events, and ways for people to get involved.”

Th-Hers-Day: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

Bobby Jindal Hearts…ObamaCare?

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?

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

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….”
