  Will Generation Y Redefine What it means to be Conservative or Liberal? Conservatism, Ideology, Liberalism |

  In Yesterday’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Concordia University Professor and former Republican Congressional candidate, Jim Burkee, had an interesting op-ed discussing role “Generation Y” could play in re-shaping American politics. From the article: In the first few months of his presidency, Obama has continued his full-court press for young voters, breaking protocol by giving Queen Elizabeth a loaded iPod, appearing on television and radio and expanding the White House's Internet presence. But the political loyalties of that coveted demographic are not yet decided. While they seem to lean to the left, they're actually more libertarian than liberal, a fact that will reshape the ...

  Just how popular is TaxDayTeaParty.com? Across the US, Activism, Barack Obama, Campaign '08, Economy, Issues, News, Party Politics, Spending, Taxes |

  There have been many on the left who have been diligently trying to discredit the rapidly growing Tea Party Movement as nothing more than a few angry activists. Well, I guess in terms of web traffic, these few angry activists are more energized than the ever-so-famous Barack Obama army. What this link shows is the increase in traffic rank, as calculated by Alexa.com. Of course, any computer geek will quickly rush in and discredit Alexa's ranking system. However, if you look at some of the other metrics presented here, TaxDayTeaParty.com comes up strong in every category, bringing to question the real power of ...

  Rob Portman’s War chest Tops $3,000,000 Congress, Conservatism, Ideology, News, Party Politics, campaign 2010 |

  Of the 2010 Senate races, I knew that Ohio was going to be one that I'd follow closely. However, at no time did I ever imagine that I'd be receiving emails in April 2009 letting me know that the Republican candidate already has a war chest of $3million. From Rob Portman: Dear Friend, I am truly humbled by your support for my campaign for the U.S. Senate. As a close supporter I want you to be one of the first to hear about our campaign's most recent success. Today we announced our fundraising total of $3,178,476 for the first quarter 2009.
