BAD Idea...

I'm going on record now that THIS is a VERY bad idea. Training on how to be a good Conservative candidate from the guy who backed Dede Scozzafava?!  No thanks. And, might I humbly suggest that all Tea Party Conservatives stay far away from this. This is just more big government GOP machinery attempting to hijack a REAL move toward greater liberty.

For the sake of full disclosure to newer readers:  There was a time when I would have voted for Gingrich had he run for POTUS. His true colors became clear to me over time and there's no way I could ever vote for him now. He's another big government Republican. Smarter than Huckabee or Romney but just like them in most other ways.

Dear Dawn,

American Solutions has launched a nationwide effort to train candidates and activists for the November elections.

We were in New Hampshire on Monday at the invitation of the state Republican party and the NH House Leadership PAC and trained over 200 candidates on how to organize effective campaigns, build support, deliver an effective message, and win.  We are planning to do training workshops in Iowa, California, New York, and Ohio in the coming months.

Our candidate training is based on the recently published manual Campaign Solutions: How Challenger Candidates Maximize Money, Media, Message and Management, written by veteran campaign strategist and American Solutions CEO Joe Gaylord.  Candidate training will be supplemented with regular email updates from Joe Gaylord and me.

Candidate training is just the beginning.  We've also launched the Solutions Academy, an online arsenal of policy and political information on a wide range of topics such as how to balance a government budget, reform public education, and create jobs.   To learn more about our three step plan for job creation, tune in tonight at 7:30 PM ET for a LIVE webcast of our Real Jobs Summit from St. Louis, Missouri.

We urge you to share these resources with candidates and activists alike and encourage their participation.   

Your friend,
Newt Signature
Newt Gingrich
General Chairman

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
