I’ve made it no secret that I’m a big fan of Paul Ryan. I haven’t agreed with him on some of his recent votes (and thought his excuse for voting for the 90% AIG tax was cockamamie), but he still remains the young, fresh face that’s chock full of ideas the party needs. I even [...]

House GOP, “Can We Get a Mulligan?”
Posted: February 25, 2009 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: house gop, stimulus
It’s been driving me INSANE listening to people claim that “oh well, the Republican’s opposed to stimulus but didn’t present a plan of their own.” I actually yelled at Mika Bernenski this morning when she said that to Michael Steele (and her I actually like). Never mind the hearings Eric Cantor held or the twenty-five [...]
The GOP is Bringing the Nineties Back
Posted: February 24, 2009 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: healthcare, house gop, rnc
Few people don’t enjoy themselves a good throwback. I still roll to old school Van Halen, Motley Crue, and Kiss. My preference has always been pinball machines to shoot ‘em up games. And while I do enjoy a lot of the Judd Apatow movies, my heart still lies with Mel Brooks and “the Cannonball Run.” [...]
The House GOP has Their Mind on Your Money
Posted: February 20, 2009 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: house gop, stimulus
A few days ago I mentioned the balance that Republicans need to strike between saying no to an agenda they feel is harmful to the future of America, and simply being the “Party of No.” My feeling is that if we’re on the side of fiscal responsibility (yes, contrary to the Bush years) we’re on [...]
House GOP or “House of No?”

“Standing on principle and doing the right things for the right reasons, on behalf of your constituents, will never get you in trouble.” Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) With Barack Obama set to announce his $50 Billion housing bailout out today, the day after signing his $1.5 TRILLION spending package, there’s a debate going on amongst [...]
Fiscal Suicide: The House GOP Is Back-ish
Posted: February 13, 2009 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: eric cantor, fiscal suicide, house gop, stimulus
The passage of the crap sandwich known as the Great Fiscal Suicide Act of 2009 (aka “stimulus“) worries me as it does most of you (except for the few trolls who are going to read this and cut and paste a comment in 5…4…3…2…1…). I say buck up, little campers. We’ll ski the K-12 together [...]
[VIDEO]: Yes I Cantor!

So yeah, in case you haven’t caught on, much like you and everyone who considers themselves to be a Republican and/or a conservative, I’m rapidly becoming a HUGE fan of Eric Cantor. Yes, even huger than the last time I said I’m becoming a huge fan. It’s close to a man crush, he’s that cool. [...]
Mitt Romney Sucks
Posted: January 30, 2009 by John Brodigan in 2012 Watch, Mitt Romney, Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2012, house gop, mitt romney
No, my man Mitt most definitely does not suck. But since I already used “Mitt Romney Announces His Run for Presidency” as a headline, “Mitt Romney Sucks” is next line for my “bait and switch” series. Yeah, I can be a dick like that. Actually, the one aboot Mitt announcing his run for President would [...]
