Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Lace provides us with the list of potential vice-presidential candidates. Upcoming posts will deal with why Senator McCain should pick Governor Crist(my choice of the three), Governor Romney, or Governor Jindal. But I want to look at the other candidates that may be under consideration. There are some stipulations. First, the candidate cannot be a […]

Club For Growth runs ads against Huckabee in Iowa

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

See for yourself.

In light of Huckabee’s comments on taxation, its depressing to think that a person can be considered “conservative” while only fulfilling half the definition - the social half.
I thought conservativism meant more than being pro-marriage and pro-life. I thought it also meant advocating and implementing small government priorities, manifested by […]

Club for Growth on Ron Paul

Monday, November 26th, 2007

When it comes to limited government, there are few champions as steadfast and principled as Representative Ron Paul.

The Club For Growth’s White Paper on Mike Huckabee summarizes his record as Governor of Arkansas as follows:

Club For Growth on John McCain

The Club For Growth’s White Paper on Fred Thompson summarizes his voting record while in the U.S. Senate as follows:
