Iowa Caucus Predictions

2 January 2008

To voters in primary states the Iowa Caucus is not well understood.  That’s because a caucus doesn’t work the way a primary works.  In a primary everyone comes out and votes for their candidate and the one with the most votes wins.  In some states if no one gets a majority of votes there may [...]

Under the Bill

26 June 2007

If 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 [...]

Immigration Reform

13 June 2007

What is the deal with immigration reform? If you have followed the debate and the actions in the Senate you may have wondered what is going on. Democrats clearly want immigration reform, yet Harry Reid pulled it from consideration after two unsuccessful attempts at cloture. He could have kept the debate going at least until [...]

For President Bush, Loyalty is a One Way Street

5 June 2007

If there is one thing President Bush has placed a premium on it is loyalty. He expects those in his administration to be loyal to him. And he has expected the rank and file of the Republican Party to be loyal to him. The problem is, he doesn’t see the need to return that loyalty.
Conservatives [...]

Bipartisan BS

22 May 2007

I 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 2007

President 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 [...]

GOP Debate Analysis – Round 1

3 May 2007

The first GOP Presidential Debate is tonight and I’m blogging it as it happens. Unfortunately the debate is on MSNBC which completely befuddles me. I think the GOP should have demanded FOX News since the Dems refused to debate on that network. And, unfortunately, Hardball boob, Chris Mathews, is the moderator for this debate. Is [...]

Lindsey Graham is Toast in 2008

14 September 2006

I live in South Carolina and four years ago I was an active campaigner for Lindsey Graham. I made phone calls, walked precincts, went to campaign events, put out campaign signs and generally spent my spare time working to elect Lindsey Graham.
There are few things in my life that I regret more.
Lindsey Graham has been [...]
