Texas will play little or no roll in the GOP primary.....

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- A federal judge has told Republican leaders in Texas to plan as though the state's primary will be May 29 because the long-running dispute over redistricting likely won't allow for it to be held any earlier.

U.S. Circuit Court Judge Jerry Smith on Wednesday did not officially set that as the new primary date. But the judge's guidance virtually extinguishes any chance of Texas holding an April primary.

A primary in May or later risks making Texas irrelevant in choosing the Republican presidential nominee.

Texas had been scheduled to take part in March's Super Tuesday, but the state's ongoing battle over voting maps derailed that.

Earlier Wednesday, the sides announced a deal on a temporary map for the disputed state Senate boundaries, leaving unresolved the state House and congressional maps.

Think Rick Santorum is your guy? Consider this......

Rick Santorum is anything but a conservative.  Just consider his record, which includes:
  • Padding his own wallet as a corporate lobbyist at the expense of taxpayers;
  • Voting to RAISE the debt ceiling five times;
  • Voting to DOUBLE the federal Department of Education;
  • Voting with liberals like Ted Kennedy on multiple occasions in support of Big Labor's radical agenda;
  • Urging more federal involvement in housing with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;
  • Voting to create a brand new, unfunded entitlement, Medicare Part D, the largest expansion of entitlement spending since President Lyndon Johnson - creating $16 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities;

CNN flip flops on property rights

Yes..I know...we're all surprised. But why not point it out again. CNN has continuously blasted Dr. Paul on his stance of property rights and how private businesses should be able to choose whom they serve. Yet, 'amazingly' CNN applauded a restaurant who refused to serve a customer who was anti-gay.

“I Like George Washington Except on Foreign Policy”

“I Like George Washington Except on Foreign Policy”

Ron Paul’s philosophy is that of the Founding Fathers. For Paul, the Constitution is the law of the land, not a mere rhetorical tool. For Paul, maintaining limited government means “eternal vigilance,” to borrow Thomas Jefferson’s phrase, against political leaders’ tendency to empower themselves at the expense of the people. One of the ways government has historically empowered itself is through constant war.
Like the Founding Fathers, Ron Paul believes in a strong national defense. Also like the Founders, Paul fears adopting an irrational offense. Our first President George Washington expressed this fear on September 17, 1796 when he delivered his farewell address.

Santorum may have helped a friend cover up his affair....

By Doug Thompson May 16, 2011 " The sex and hush-money scandal that brought down former Nev. Senator John Ensign is spreading across the Republican party  like a permanent stain, stripping bare the party’s hypocrisy on family values. Caught in the ever-widening scandal is former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, a presidential candidate and tea party favorite (really??...I would disagree) who touts family values but  tried to bury the Ensign scandal by alerting the Nevada Senator that the husband of his mistress was going  public." http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/40865

The "Conservative Zone"


Only way to beat Obama is to nominate Dr. Ron Paul

 The GOP is in a serious dilemma. It has two warring factions. On one side are the traditional Republican voters. They will vote for any candidate with an R behind his name. They have one goal: Defeat Obama.

On the other side are the Ron Paul voters. A growing minority, they present both a threat and a promise to the GOP. A threat, because they won’t vote for the Republican establishment’s candidates no matter what. A promise, because they inject new blood in a party that has grown so old that its party rallies resemble the Soviet Politburo in the 1980s: a gerontocracy that doesn’t even remember what it is there after. These young Ron Paul voters have one goal: Elect Ron Paul.
