House Republican Leadership

By Holly Robichaud | 11/07/08

The Republican brand and identity among voters continues to be at its lowest level since 1932 and the height of the Great Depression. To compare the Party's standing even to the depth of Watergate or the debacle of 1964 is to mitigate the current situation of the Republican Party. In 1974, following the resignation of Richard Nixon, while the Republican Party was demoralized and the Democrats made key gains, the voting public was... read more »

The Nation Has Gone Massachusetts

By Holly Robichaud | 11/06/08

52% of our nation's voters have caught moonbatitis. Oh no! I hope it can be cured. Hopefully it will only take 100 days of the Obama administration to do it. Certainly yesterday's 500 drop in the stock market might have started the process.Let me explain why we may only need 100 days before voters are wishing there was a national recall system in place.Here in Massachusetts our Governor, who got elected on the same hope message... read more »

By Holly Robichaud | 11/04/08

Barack Obama's Tax Calculator

By Holly Robichaud | 10/30/08

We here at Red County have fixed the ubiquitous Obama Tax Refund Calculator to reflect the Democrats' spread-the-wealth convictions: Every taxpayer will experience change if he is elected President. Change is what will be left over in people's wallets after Obama enacts his tax policy.Two years ago in Massachusetts we elected Deval Patrick Governor. He was swept into office on the same message that Barack is now selling... read more »

New Republican Leadership

By Holly Robichaud | 10/24/08

It is clear that in 2006 we, the Republican Party, did not do enough to clean our house and now we are going to pay a huge price on November 4th with the loss of numerous Congressional seats. Our failure is going to result in Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Leader Harry Reid being able to run amok! So how can our Republican Party rebuild? Clearly we need new leadership at the Republican National Committee. Our next... read more »

Can the Media Be More Biased?

By Holly Robichaud | 10/23/08

As a Republican I am gagging over the media bias and there seems to be no end in sight.Last weekend the New York Times decided to launch an attack on Cindy McCain who 25 years ago had a problem with pain killers. They were more focused on this problem than her years of charity work. That's what she gets for being married to a Republican. Yesterday Sarah Palin was exposed for spending money on clothes. Oh the shame of it. ... read more »

Profile in Cowardness

By Holly Robichaud | 10/22/08

Joe Biden has suggested that if Barack Obama is elected President of the United States, he is going to be tested within the first 6 months. Isn't that a scary thought? Biden further suggested that Barack's response would not seem appropriate and that we will need to "stick with them." Oooow. Really we should trust Barack with our national security? I would suggest that he is not a profile in courage but rather a profile in... read more »

Colin Powell is Just a Rino

By Holly Robichaud | 10/21/08

Are you impressed that Colin Powell stuck his finger in the air to figure out which way the wind is blowing in the Presidential race? I am not!Colin Powell suggested that he was concerned about who Senator McCain would appoint to the United States Supreme Court. The former General does not want two more conservatives on the bench. Hmmmm. What does that statement actually mean??? Colin was actually saying that he could not have... read more »

Greetings from liberal Massachusetts. Let me first answer the obvious question: Are there Republicans in the Commonwealth? Yes, we are a hardy group full of how for the future.Now for the warning... In 2006 Massachusetts voters foolishly elected Deval Patrick Governor and he has been a disaster from the beginning.
