Thoughts on New Hampshire
12 January 2008After the New Hampshire primary I got to thinking. Everyone has their theories about what happened. McCain much bigger than expected and Hillary won when Obama was supposed to win big. What happened? I think it was a combination of two things. Remember in 2000, many Democrats crossed over to Republican primaries to vote for [...]
Early Iowa Observations
3 January 2008It’s late on caucus night and I’m about to go to bed. I’ll have more to say tomorrow but I didn’t want to close the evening without a few comments about the Iowa caucus and my predictions. I nailed Huckabee. He won with a significant margin. I was off on Romney and McCain. McCain didn’t [...]
Happy New Year!
1 January 2008Happy New Year to you all. It’s 2008, election year. Last year saw this blog really slow down in terms of posts. I hope to change that this year with the primaries looming and the elections in November. I even got a little flack from my dad today for my lack of posting. So I’m [...]
Any Reason to Bash Bush
24 October 2007Regular readers of this blog know that I am no fan of President Bush. But the extent to which some on the left will go to Bash him is beyond ridiculous. The fires in Southern California are a case in point. While people are still losing their homes, the left is busy politicizing the situation. [...]
Reed Follows in Daschle’s Footsteps
22 October 2007When I spoke to Mark May [sic-Mays], he and I thought this probably wouldn’t make much money-a letter, written by Democrat Senators, complaining about something…[T]he [final] bid [was] more than two million for this… Never did we think that this letter would bring money of this nature… I don’t know what we could do more [...]
Under the Bill
26 June 2007If I hear the phrase “under the bill” one more time regarding “comprehensive immigration reform” I think I will throw up. I was listening to Chertoff on Cavuto this afternoon and every time Cavuto brought up conservative objections, Chertoff’s response was “under the bill…” I’m convinced they are being intentionally obtuse. We’ve repeated over and [...]
Amnesty by Any Other Name Still Screws America
18 May 2007President Bush, along with RINOs Lindsey Graham and John McCain and Democrat Ted Kennedy, have reached a “compromise” for comprehensive immigration reform. That phrase, “comprehensive immigration reform” is code for amnesty. President Bush announced that the plan does not grant amnesty but any bill that allows aliens currently in this country illegally to pay a [...]
Reid Between the Lines
21 April 2007Sorry but I stole that headline from Family Research Council. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has said the decision by the Supreme Court to uphold the federal partial birth abortion ban should have included O’Connor instead of Alito. The clear implication is that it would have been decided the other way under such circumstances. But [...]
Co-Equal Branches of Government
6 February 2007Much is being said in the halls of Congress these days about the “fact” that Congress is a co-equal branch of government. As such, the argument goes, Congress has the authority to reign in the President’s plans with respect to the Iraq war. There have even been plans floated to limit the number of troops [...]
We Must Fight to Win!
10 January 2007For well over a year there have been calls from Democrats to increase troop strength to deal with the “insurgency” in Iraq. Speaker Pelosi herself said more than a year ago that’s what she would do. Now, President Bush has basically admitted that he made a mistake in not sending enough troops to secure Iraq [...]
