Hood from Walter Reed Hospital. He was a psychiatrist and a soldier.

Perhaps all those voters in Virginia and New Jersey didn't receive the memo. The demise of the Republican party has been greatly exaggerated. The Republican candidates in Virginia and New Jersey took the governorships. The Lt Governorship went Republican in Virginia as did the Attorney General. And, in districts across the map, Republicans are winning elections where Democrats have held power for years. Westchester county, New York is an example of an electoral surprise. Liberals with blinder... Read Full Story

The guest speaker for the monthly meeting of Memorial West Republican Women was Debra Medina, GOP candidate for Governor of Texas. She is running against Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchison in March's Republican primary. Sometimes a person feels the call to public office and acts. "Do the good that is before you to do." That is Medina's call to action. As she received encouragement from family and friends, she began to understand the need of fresh faces and new ideas in public service. A... Read Full Story

“I am so pleased. I respect the former Vice President so much. We’ve worked together. He knows my record as a conservative in the Senate.” That was the quote released by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison upon the endorsement of former Vice President Cheney of her bid for Texas governor.Some may say this is no big deal. The fact is, it is. Former VP Cheney is a respected conservative and strong proponent of the Republican party. "He knows her and he knows she's a true conservative leader." That quo...

Another pre-election day, another full mailbox. Campaign brochures galore. Some are glossy, and quite professionally created. Others, more on the attack mode and less sophisticated. Let's take a look at the bounty from yesterday:Two jumbo postcards with the same message - anti Annise Parker and Gene Locke paid for by 'Peter Brown for Mayor'. These fall into the attack mode category. One jumbo postcard from the George Foulard Campaign, running for City Council District G. A simple messag... Read Full Story
What is going on with Republicans in Harris County? Reading a blog post written by Mary Benton at http://2onthebeat.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/gene-locke-the-coalition-candidate/, I see a list of Republicans supporting the candidacy of Gene Locke for Houston mayor. To say this is absurd is an understatement.With a conservative candidate running for the office of mayor, against three Democrats, isn't it in the best interests of Republicans to support a conservative? What would Republicans have i... Read Full Story
