Chris Christie is a Disgusting, Filthy RINO

More than a few of us, while being thrilled to death that Paul Ryan is giving the response to the State of the Union, was hoping for it to be Chris Christie. More shocking than it not being him was the fact that it was offered to him and he turned it down. This, after turning down CPAC this year. What the hell dude?

The discussion on the blogs and the Twitters is all aboot why he wouldn’t want to do this, and yes, does this make him a “RINO.” Personally speaking, maybe he just doesn’t want the national spotlight? Anytime he gives an interview, it turns into seeing how many different ways he can be asked if he’s running for President.

Plus, you saw what happened with Sarah Palin when it was too much, too soon for her. It had started to happen to Christie. There was a national outrage because he went to Disneyworld while it snowed in New Jersey. The streets were plowed, but for two weeks all you heard was how the “rising star in the Republican party” was under fire, and how the “rising star of the Republican party” dropped the ball, and what does this mean for the “rising star of the Republican party” rising star of the Republican Party.

We love Chris Christie because he’s bringing fiscal conservatism to a deep blue state like New Jersey. We love Chris Christie because he’s blunt and cuts right to the point. We love Chris Christie because he’s showing the conservative policy can work in the Northeast.

How aboot we let him do his current job as Governor and turn some of those policies and rhetoric into results?

Marco Rubio is a Filthy, Disgusting RINO

EDITORS NOTE: I forgot to link to The Shark Tank, which is where the news originally broke from.  Click the link for the full interview Rubio gave them.

No, I don’t actually think that at all. However there are those that, when you show the slightest disagreement with the “tea party,” go apeshit and throw around labels like the R-word. I never even consider Rubio a tea partier in the first place. Cats like him and Pat Toomey I always considered…what’s the word? Oh yeah, conservative.

For whatever reason, there is concern as to if Sen. Rubio is going to join the “Tea Party Caucus” in the Senate. As for today, he’s not. And if you’re wondering as to what the point of a TP Caucus us, so is Marco Rubio…

“Why do we need something in addition to the steering committee?…My concern is that politicians all of a sudden start co-opting the mantle of “Tea Party”. If all of a sudden being in the Tea Party is not something that is happening in Main Street, but rather something that’s happening in Washington D.C., the “Tea Party” all of a sudden becomes some sort of movement run by politicians…it’s gonna lose its effectiveness and I’m concerned about that. I think that the real power of the Tea Party comes from its ability to drive the debate and the issues from the grassroots up, as opposed to from the politicians down.”

Rational, intellegent, and cuts right to the point. This is why he’s the future of our party. ‘Nuff said.

Real Naked Blog: GSP vs Anderson, Brian Stann vs Wanderlai, and more…

Whenever there’s a UFC even at President Dana White does Q&A, there’s always a ton of news that comes out of it and this past “Tribute to the Troops” was no exception. Most of this has been interpolated from MMAJunkie.com

GSP vs. Anderson Silva - According to Dana, providing they beat their next opponents (Jake Shields and Vitor Belfort) not only are we getting this match, we’re getting it this year. The deal is that St. Pierre would move up to 185 permanently, which would vacate the 170 title. The way I see it, the UFC gets one to three fights out of the two of them. If Silva wins, that’s it and he probably goes to 205. If GSP wins, Silva gets a rematch…and possibly the fans get a trilogy. Either way, boo Shields and boo Belfort, I hope you both lose.

Brian Stann vs. Wanderlai Silva - This fight is the one I’m most looking forward too, because I’m a huge fan of Brian Stann, who after beating Chris Leben last month called out Wanderlai. The UFC is working on making it happen, and depending on what happens with the GSP/Anderson fight, could there possibly be title implications? A Silva vs. Silva fight would be sick.

[VIDEO] Meet the Future of the NY GOP: Lee Zeldin and Greg Ball

I criticize the New York GOP as much as anyone who doesn’t have to rely on party patronage to support himself. It can get awkward sometimes, what with me being the new media director of the NYS Young Republicans and the host of our weekly podcast “The Right Hook.” I guess you can call me anti-establishment, but that would require there to be an establishment in the first place (but at least we aren’t as bad as California).

That said, one of the benefits of hosting “The Right Hook” is that it allows me to talk to various candidates and other elected officials throughout the state…and I’ve had the pleasure of being introduced to more than a few cats who, as jaded as I can be sometimes, really to represent the best we have and are not only the future of the state party, but the country as well. Two of them were just elected to the state senate: Lee Zeldin and Greg Ball.

Neither of whom wasted anytime in getting right to work. Sen. Zeldin introduced a bill calling for a New York State constitutional amendment which will require a two-thirds “super majority” vote in both the Senate and the Assembly to increase taxes and fees, moved out of committee and onto the floor of the Senate for a vote. It passed the senate 41-19:
