In a special election to pick a new congressman to represent South Carolina’s first congressional district, Mark Sanford soundly defeated the sister of Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert, Elizabeth Colbert-Busch. In the process, he gave the GOP establishment a smack down that should bring joy to the hearts of Conservatives everywhere. When Sanford’s sordid affair as governor became the primary weapon of attack by Cobert-Busch in their only debate, and his ex-wife accused him of violating the guidelines of their divorce just days before the election (which has been settled), Sanford found himself abandoned by much of the South Carolina congressional delegation. He was also abandoned by the National Republican Congressional Committee,…

Lindsey Graham Enshrined In The G.O.P. Hall Of Shame
Have you heard that scientists are going to start using lawyers and politicians instead of rats for laboratory experiments? Apparently, this keeps the scientists from becoming too attached to their subjects . . . and there are simply some things even a rat won’t do. While it’s true that every member of The Strident Conservative G.O.P. Hall of Shame is worse than a rat when it comes to standing up for Conservative values, our newest member—who happens to be a lawyer and a politician—proves that he is second to none. First elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002, Lindsey Graham (R-ino SC) has a history of playing…
Gun Control Means Disarming America And Killing The Constitution
Liberals tell us that new gun control laws are needed to protect citizens from being a victim of gun violence—as we all know, criminals follow the law when they commit a crime—or, at the very least, they are needed to reduce the likelihood of being a victim. They will tell you that they “respect” the rights of hunters and how these new laws won’t interfere with “legitimate” gun rights. Of course, they are wrong. Conservatives will say that new gun control laws aren’t about protecting citizens at all—apparently, criminals really don’t follow the law when they commit a crime—but instead, serve to disarm legal gun owners. They will tell…
Mitch McConnell Enshrined In The G.O.P. Hall Of Shame
As 2012 wound to a close, the lame duck Congress was faced with coming up with a solution to the self-inflicted financial crisis known as the “fiscal cliff.“ Self-inflicted because it was created by the same gutless politicians during the debt ceiling negotiations in 2011 who were now wringing their hands in search of a solution. One of the gutless politicians involved in those 2011 negotiations was Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell—a position McConnell must really enjoy since Republicans have remained the minority party since he was elected party leader in 2007. Unfortunately for American taxpayers, his gutlessness continued when he abandoned his No New Taxes promise after negotiating with Vice…
John McCain Enshrined In The G.O.P. Hall Of Shame
As the Republicans continue their post-mortem of the November, 2012 election, an ever-growing chorus of voices—from members who call themselves Conservatives—are calling for drastic changes in how the party should operate in order to win in the future. Sadly, it isn’t the “batten down the hatches, full speed ahead” type of call you would expect from principled-politicians—isn’t that an oxymoron?—who actually stand for the things that earned them the support of Conservatives and organizations such as the T.E.A. Party. Instead, we are hearing calls of retreat and compromise, if not total abandonment. Enter John McCain, the next member of the Gutless On Principle Hall of…
