Possible 2016 Presidential contender Ted Cruz to headline S.C. GOP’s Silver Elephant dinner
By Albert N. Milliron Already being eyed by some Republicans as a potential 2016 presidential contender, Texas Senator Ted Cruz will be in the Palmetto state on the same day that Vice-President Joe Biden will be hosting the Democrats main event on May 3rd, 2013. Cruz is reportedly going to be the keynote speaker at the Republicans Silver Elephant Dinner in Columbia. Columbia is a major testing state for potential GOP candidates for the presidency as South Carolina is the first in the south primary in 2016. The capital city will be the center of the 2016 presidential universe on May 3. With South Carolina Democrats already landing possible presidential contender Vice President Joe Biden for the party’s May 3 fundraising dinner, a source close to the state GOP confirmed this [...]
5 Ways Reince Priebus Is Channeling George W. Bush and Bill Clinton
Thirteen months before his first presidential election, George W. Bush was on a California campaign swing with a single reporter. The news in Washington was a House GOP plan to slash federal spending, and his spokeswoman, Karen Hughes, encouraged me to ask Bush about it. “We shouldn’t balance the budget on the backs of the poor,” the Texas governor told me. And so began Bush's successful rebranding of the Republican Party: He separated himself from unpopular congressional Republicans and rode “compassionate conservatism” to the White House. Iraq and Hurricane Katrina undermined Bush’s credibility early in his second term, and the war paved way for the election of Barack Obama. Now Republicans are at a crossroads more perilous than what Bush addressed in 1999 — for a [...]
GOP must Chart a Path to Win back Urban America
By Kevin Williams The 168 members of the Republican National Committee (RNC) have officially started their winter meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they will elect the party's chairman and co-chairman. Indeed, many Republicans and conservatives around the country are sure to be nervously glued to C-SPAN or their desktop computers over the next two days, hoping for clear indications of the party's future. While many of their fellow Americans may be tuned out or turned off from politics after our past election, those of us who continue to pay close attention to national politics realize that this RNC chairman election will be important to the country's political future. Why? Because while the RNC's winter meeting will be full of politicking for positions, prestige and [...]

Open Letter From a Black Republican Women to the GOP
Dear Reince Priebus: I was raised as an agnostic socialist. I became conservative as an adult after I had a unique opportunity to see how the policies I had supported all my life actually worked when applied. Black Republican Women Kira Davis writes a letter to RNC Head. (Media Credit: The Independent Journal) I read the whole Constitution for the first time and I fell in love with this country. I researched and reasoned. I believe our path as a nation has been ordained and blessed by God. The success of American values has drawn freedom-seeking immigrants from across the globe in hopes of finding some measure of personal success. As I always say, America doesn’t owe anyone an opportunity, America IS the opportunity. Lately, we have seen that opportunity being maligned and [...]

The Angry Democrat
This week the show ‘Hannity’ on Fox News has made national attention for a very “lively” interview gone wrong. The interview did not go wrong on Hannitys part but it took a viscous nose dive as soon as Representative Keith Ellison (D) began a spontaneous and surprising tirade upon Sean Hannity. Inviting Rep. Ellison as a guest on ‘Hannity’ to give a Democrats point of view on the Sequester; Ellison ignored his professionalism and the purpose of the interview, to degrade Hannity calling him “the worst excuse for a journalist” he has seen and accusing Hannity of using yellow journalism. This firestorm of an interview re-ignited an obvious problem in regards to the politics Democrats and Liberals use. Their politics are largely based on their uncontrolled anger for the [...]
Sequestration should be allowed to Happen
By Doc Vega As the President continues to posture over a supposed painful and catastrophic sequester, Obama publicly pressures Republican governors to stop reacting to one crisis after another and start governing. Is this an irony or what when the President himself who has helped manufacture those very crises that have forced US governors to react rather than govern is the very source of hardship with his flawed leadership? President Obama continues pressuring Republicans to allow the continued expansion of government with fear mongering and exaggerations. It is the very actions of the federal government that continue to force the American people and their governors to suffer the consequences, not the other way around. President Obama has intentionally manipulated the [...]
