Failed Policy: Supreme Court Rejects ‘Death’ for Rape of a Child
What do you know!– It was a 5-4 decision. Kind of predictable don’t you think? Nonetheless, the Supreme Court (namely the 5 liberal judges) in all its infamous wisdom decided that Louisiana’s law allowing the death penalty to be imposed against such offenders violates the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. Tell that to […]

Georgia voters view Obama “unfavorably”
Georgia has recently surfaced on the pundit radars as being an ‘open’ state. They argue that Obama’s appeal and undeniable support among the black population in the state, plus the potential Bob Barr factor, has put the state in jeopardy for McCain. A perfect storm, so to speak, was rising out of the Southern state […]

Despite best efforts, Gov Jindal is leading the VP ticket
The Crown Prince of Louisiana, the boy Governor, the conservative crusader, the policy nerd with a giant personality perfectly suited for big time politics, just can’t shake this VP talk.

Many think that Jindal (if his first term continues to go well and his re-election is a lock) Jindal will be a future presidential candidate for the Republican Party. He is needed […]

Mississippi Burning; Does the GOP have a solution
For the second time in May the GOP loses two Deep South House seats to Democrats who should not have had a chance. First, Louisiana loses a conservative (Republican-leaning) district and this week Mississippi sent a Democrat to Washington in similiar fashion. If the GOP doesn’t have a solution maybe Newt Gingrich’s will do until then.
