Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling offered his support to Gov. Kaine in his time of budgetary need.
“I applaud the Governor for his commitment to bring the budget into balance through spending reductions and not higher taxes. While we can discuss where and how these spending reductions should be made, I am committed to working with […]

[Reagan´s GOP] Sarah Palin or Sarah Connor?
Posted by Brian Kirwin in September 3rd 2008 under: Democrats, Reagan, Republican Party, Sarah Palin, aggregated, elections
Why do Democrats fear Sarah Palin? I’m convinced it’s not about November.
At least not November, 2008.
The Democrats have been absolutely foaming in their attacks on Sarah Palin, and they are still trying. They’ve run out of attacks for the time being, now repeating some of the charges they floated over the weekend. […]
[The Contemporary Conservative] I can relate
Posted by James Young in August 14th 2008 under: Alter of Freedom, Conservatism, Reagan, Republicanism, aggregated
One of the best blogs in Chesterfield county (if not the state of Virgina) is Altar of Freedom and although we don’t always agree, his insights are always well thought out and complete and always worth a read (or two.) So with that in mind, I point you to his last post call “My First Presidential” Election http://alteroffreedom.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-first-presidential-election.html since it is
Facts are facts. Reagan cut taxes from the beginning of his term of office, and his approval rating at he beginning of 1983 was the lowest of his Presidency - even lower than it would be during Iran Contra.
Three months later, Reagan signed the Social Security Reform Act and blogger Right Wing Liberal calls […]
Imagine that! Seven months into his Presidency, Reagan was getting pummeled by the press for wanting to cut taxes.
So, he went straight to the people for a summertime televised address.
The result? Calls to the White House in the first hour were 629-148 in favor of cutting taxes. The final tally was 6 […]
The 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birthday will not go unnoticed. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill establishing a commission to coordinate the 2011 celebration.
Bills are in both state and federal houses to raise money for the yearlong centennial celebration, which would feature a Reagan postage stamp and a centennial coin, […]
The move is afoot to edge closer to letting the man who almost killed President Ronald Reagan walk the streets again.
Hearings are being held to expand John Hinkley’s freedoms. “Doctors” are pushing for the man who fired away at Reagan and several others to be free and unsupervised a total of 120 days a […]

[Reagan´s GOP] Drill for oil answer is “BOTH”
Posted by Brian Kirwin in July 18th 2008 under: Democrats, Economy, Reagan, Republican Party, aggregated
House Democrats are telling oil supporters to drill on land you already have.
House Republicans are telling Democrats to lift the government bans on drilling where huge oil reserves will likely be found.
Reagan would’ve jumped at this chance. He would’ve been on prime time TV and announced his new plan that involved BOTH allowing America […]
[Reagan´s GOP] Reagan accepts nomination
Posted by Brian Kirwin in July 17th 2008 under: Barack Obama, Economy, McCain, Reagan, Republican Party, aggregated
July 17, 1980 was one of Reagan’s shining moments. When Ronald Reagan accepted the GOP nomination, no one foresaw the two huge landslides to come. Reagan, far from being the right-wing extremist that other right-wing extremists wanted him to be, set to transcend micro-targeting and went for broad consensus in his speech.
I want […]
You’d think so, by so many left-leaning pundits trying to paint the Senator so liberal he makes Ted Kennedy look moderate with the stripes of the Gipper.
Seriously, during the primaries, Obama was so left-wing that people were calling Hillary Clinton a moderate.
Now, here comes the “general election” wave of lefties angling for Reagan democrats. […]
For a President who did so remarkably well in them, and got regular reports on how he was doing in them, Reagan didn’t speak about polls much.
On July 11, 1988, he did.
He was campaigning for a Republican Senator, and he shook his head at people who religiously follow polls.
You know, it reminds me of reading […]
Here’s their editorial.
We’ve got a trivia quiz for you today, and the odds are you wouldn’t guess the correct answer in a million years.
OK, here goes. What politician said the following:
What a lead! Sounds like this post here.
Let’s remember who said this (title of Reagan’s GOP post)
Then we both quote Ronald Reagan…a snippet, […]
[Reagan´s GOP] 300+ Economists give McCain thumbs up on jobs!
Posted by Brian Kirwin in July 7th 2008 under: Barack Obama, McCain, Reagan, aggregated, elections, taxes
Sounds like it’s Reagan time all over again!
A mile-long list of notable numbercrunchers endorsed John McCain’s economic policy with the following highlights of the McCain jobs agenda:
1. Vetoing every bill with earmarks
2. A constitutionally valid line-item veto
3. One-year freeze on non-military discretionary government spending programs.
4. Stop tax increases
5. Reduce jobs taxes and accelerating […]
Micheal Reagan is launching an effort to build a monument at the sight where President Ronald Reagan spoke the famous words, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
Berlin city leaders are in talks with Reagan about a possible statue or bust to be located at Tiergarten near the Brandenburg Gate, but the final location is not […]
“When we first built our highways, we paid for them with a gas tax, a highway user fee that charged those of us who benefited most from the system. It was a fair concept then, and it is today. But that levy has not been increased in more than 23 years. And it no longer […]
Current recommendations of the hospital of John Hinkley, the man who shot President Ronald Reagan and others in order to impress Jody Foster:
* Leave of consecutive days up to 10
* Access to a driver’s license
* Permission to do community volunteer work.
Are they insane? See, Hinkley has up to five […]

Charles Kaiser might be a well-known and award-winning historian, but as a journalist, he’s strictly an amateur — and that’s being kind.Kaiser is the “author” of a feature article in Out Magazine that purports to be about gay Republicans in Washington…

It almost ended…
For all the accomplishments of Ronald Reagan - economically, politically - for all of world history that was changed by his hand, the true greatness of Reagan, I believe, is found in these words. Reagan was an admirable, good man, and his humble greatness was everything America wanted to be. -=SOURCE=-
