RICHARD VIGUERIE — Ann Coulter is wrong -- and I say that, having been involved in the leadership of the national conservative movement for over 50 years, not as a "Johnny-come-lately conservative purist." I am frequently asked if Obama will be re-elected in 2012 and my answer is "not if Republicans nominate a principled, small government constitutional conservative for President"... (more)

GARY BAUER — The Republican presidential nomination battle has had its share of "oops" moments--gaffes, mental lapses and verbal miscues. Not surprisingly, they've become the defining narrative about the GOP for a media desperate to distract the public from the Obama administration's failures... (more)

GLENN BECK — I am a huge fan of Minnesota, but apparently some of the voters there are spending too much time in the 10,000 lakes and not enough researching candidates. Gov. Jesse Ventura? Sen. Al Franken? And, if those two aren't enough, Minnesota is the only state that voted for Walter Mondale​ instead of President Reagan in 1984... (more)

TIMOTHY P. CARNEY — When Newt Gingrich says he never lobbied, he's not telling the truth. When he was a paid consultant for the drug-industry's lobby group, Gingrich worked hard to persuade Republican congressmen to vote for the Medicare drug subsidy that the industry favored. To deny Gingrich was a lobbyist requires an Obama-like word parsing over who is and who isn't a lobbyist... (more)

NATIONAL JOURNAL — President Obama should abandon his run for a second term and turn over the reins of the Democratic Party to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, two one-time Democratic pollsters wrote in Monday's Wall Street Journal, which appeared online Sunday... (more)

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER — In 2008, the slogan was "Yes We Can." For 2011-12, it's "We Can't Wait." What happened in between? Candidate Obama, the vessel into which myriad dreams were poured, met the reality of governance. His near-$1 trillion stimulus begat a stagnant economy with 9 percent unemployment. His attempt at Wall Street reform left in place a still-too-big-to-fail financial system, as vulnerable today as when he came into office... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — This time, Republicans may have to wait till spring -- or later -- to learn who in their party will challenge President Obama next fall. In 2008, the GOP presidential nomination battle was effectively over by February, when the revived campaign of Sen. John McCain triumphed over the moneyed war machine of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney... (more)

DAVID LIMBAUGH — It is open season for the liberal media on any GOP presidential candidate who displays the audacity to surge in the polls, the latest targets being Herman Cain​ and Newt Gingrich​. A reasonable case can be made for some of these criticisms, and conservatives often concede the weaknesses, but there is no justification for this same media's ongoing cover-up for the current White House occupant...

WASHINGTON TIMES — Top Republican senators said late Friday the Justice Department has been stonewalling their request for more information on Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, and said her previous work as solicitor general "may satisfy both requirements for recusal" from the upcoming health-care case...

JOSEPH FARAH — I should have known better. Despite all I have witnessed in watching Newt Gingrich over the many years he has been in public life, I starting softening to him -- largely on the basis of his debate performances. I began to think I could live with this guy as president -- which is almost understandable given the current squatter in the White House... (more)

JOHN HAYWARD — The United States government officially passed the $15 trillion debt milestone on Tuesday. The Republican National Committee produced a little video to commemorate the occasion, and remind us of the bygone days when Barack Obama​ stridently declared $9 trillion in debt was too much, and he'd cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term...
