  • Byron York: Immigration reform, gay marriage could divide GOP

    Byron York

    Published: Mon, Mar 18, 2013

    Inside the Republican National Committee, the group assigned to review the GOP's 2012 defeats was known informally as the "autopsy committee." At some point, the RNC's image-makers realized the name, even if entirely accurate, didn't convey a particularly positive message about the party. So the...

  • RNC: Republicans should ‘embrace and champion’ immigration reform

    Byron York

    Published: Mon, Mar 18, 2013

    At the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting in Charlotte in January, members of the so-called “Growth and Opportunity Project” — the group assigned to perform an autopsy on the party’s 2012 losses — insisted that their job was not to set policy for the GOP.  Their...

  • In defense of GOP consultants: It’s the candidates’ fault

    Byron York

    Updated: Sun, Mar 17, 2013

    If there was any villain at the just-completed Conservative Political Action Conference, it was the generic figure of the Republican political consultant.  Overpaid, unprincipled, always on the lookout for the next client — or easy mark — the consultants, to listen to a number of CPAC...

  • At CPAC, conservative activist slams Karl Rove

    Byron York

    Published: Fri, Mar 15, 2013

    It’s probably fair to say that Karl Rove, the former top Bush White House official, is not particularly popular among the Tea Party and other conservative activists gathered at the Conservative Political Action Conference.  Rove’s recently-announced Conservative Victory Project to find...

  • Romney at CPAC: Many thanks, some advice, no apologies

    Byron York

    Published: Fri, Mar 15, 2013

    There was plenty of speculation about how Mitt Romney would be received at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday.  Of course conservatives would be respectful and polite.  But how enthusiastic would they be about the man who led the Republican Party to defeat last...

  • What will Mitt say at CPAC?

    Byron York

    Published: Fri, Mar 15, 2013

    Mitt Romney, the man who used the word “conservative” 25 times in his 2012 speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, will address the group again this afternoon.  According to sources in RomneyWorld, anyone looking for deep self-reflection into Romney’s loss to Barack...

  • Byron York: Will GOP's new vision be shaped by Paul or Rubio?

    Byron York

    Published: Thu, Mar 14, 2013

    The backdrop to the giant stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference meeting featured somewhat ghostly images of Ronald Reagan, who was born in 1911; Barry Goldwater, born 1909; Jesse Helms, born 1921; and William F. Buckley, born 1925. Above the pictures of those now-departed leaders...

  • Obama: Don’t blame me for closing White House tours

    Byron York

    Published: Wed, Mar 13, 2013

    In his interview with ABC News, President Obama claimed that the move to shut down White House tours as part of sequestration cuts “was not a decision that went up to the White House.”  Obama appeared to blame the Secret Service for the decision — and ignored the question of whether...

  • The GOP congressman who destroyed Obama’s sequester scare story

    Byron York

    Published: Tue, Mar 12, 2013

    The Obama administration has employed a variety of tactics to frighten the public about the possible consequences of sequestration.  Air-traffic control towers will be shuttered.  Children will be thrown off Head Start.  The nation’s guard against terrorism will be lowered....

  • Byron York: Ted Cruz pushes for vote to stop funding for Obamacare

    Byron York

    Published: Mon, Mar 11, 2013

    "Some senators may choose to hurl insults and personal attacks," says new Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. "That's their prerogative. I have no intention of reciprocating." Cruz wouldn't name names, but clearly "some senators" includes John McCain, the Republican Party's 2008 presidential candidate...
