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 [...]
Surrender is not an Option
8 December 2006This from the executive summary of the Iraq Study Group Report. “Given the ability of Iran and Syria to influence events within Iraq and their interest in avoiding chaos in Iraq, the United States should try to engage them constructively.” So Hamilton, Baker, et. al., actually believe that Iran and Syria have an interest in [...]
America’s Victory ’08
22 November 2006While ’08 seems a long way off, it isn’t really so far. And the sooner we get to work, the better change we’ll have of moving the Republican Party back to conservatism and electing real conservatives in ’08. We could even retake Congress and hold the White House. Slip on over to America’s Victory ’08 [...]
The Right Lessons
17 November 2006Liberals across the media seem determined to interpret the election for Republicans. There are a plethora of interesting quotes to choose from. For example: “The country is sending a signal to both parties: We want you guys to work together to solve problems. You’ve got Republicans running from the far right much more toward the [...]
What Lies Ahead
9 November 2006The elections are over. For politicians it’s time to start working on ’08. But what about the rest of us? What do we do now? ’08 is a long way off. I don’t know about you but I’m not prepared to spend two years in campaign mode. While the ’08 elections are important, there is [...]
Why Did the GOP Lose?
8 November 2006The general wisdom is that Iraq has cost the Republican Party control of the House and perhaps the Senate. I don’t buy it. Sorry but the pundits are simply wrong. While Iraq is part of the equation, it is not the reason for this loss and Republicans will be in deep trouble come ’08 if [...]
The Measure of a Man II: Democrat Defense
1 November 2006Yesterday I wrote about John Kerry’s ignorant remarks about the troops serving in Iraq and his subsequent refusal to apologize for those remarks, choosing instead to blame Republicans and the President for “twisting” his words. Amazingly Kerry actually believes he can convince people beyond the rabid left that what he said meant something other than [...]
A Glimmer of Hope
17 October 2006Over the last several weeks I have struggled with the likely results of the upcoming election. I have endeavored to remain optimistic in the face of what appears to be increasingly bad news for conservatives. Every poll, every news cast, virtually everything you see or hear today indicates that Democrats will take control of the [...]
A Failure of Diplomacy?
11 October 2006Any aggressive action by a foreign enemy is always characterized by Democrats as a failure of diplomacy in general and specifically, a failure of the Bush administration’s diplomatic policy. That leads to an obvious question. Do the Democrats believe that every problem around the world has a diplomatic solution? Conversely, do they believe that there [...]
It’s About Survival Stupid
11 October 2006On Townhall.com, Cal Thomas has a column that makes an astounding statement. “This election isn’t about House pages; it’s about survival” said Thomas. He’s exactly right. When Clinton defeated Bush 41, the Democrat tag line was “it’s the economy, stupid.” Today’s Republican tag line ought to be, “it’s about survival, stupid.” Thomas says that congressional [...]
