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 John [...]
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 [...]
jetBlue Sponsors DailyKOS
16 July 2007I’ve been a fan of jetBlue for some time. They’ve driven the cost of commercial air travel down and that’s a good thing. Like Wal-Mart, they’ve been a huge benefit to consumers. But all that has changed for me now.
It seems that jetBlue is a sponsor of the yearly KOS convention. You know, the web [...]
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 [...]
Bipartisan BS
22 May 2007I can’t begin to describe my emotions upon hearing the collective stream of BS coming from the Senate Floor. Senator after Senator took the floor to describe their wonderful immigrant ancestors. The message was clear. All of us who oppose the rising tide of illegal immigrants remaining here legally are actually opposed to ALL immigration. [...]
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 [...]
Giuliani on Judges
5 April 2007Rudy Giuliani has given conservatives more ammunition. In an interview on CNN Giuliani expressed his view of “strict constructionist” judges.

As you can see, Giuliani’s idea of strict constructionist doesn’t exactly match up with most conservatives. In his view, as with so many others on the court today, stare decisis trumps the Constitution! So bad law [...]
