Sen. Russ Feingold's censure resolution for President Bush isn't getting much support from other people who actually have to win elections. Of course, it's a hit at the moonbat-left blogosphere, but stupid, futile gestures are the norm there. As Texas Sen. John Cornyn notes, Feingold's play for attention distracts from the serious issues: Democrat co-sponsors […]
Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold has been mentioned as a possible Democrat contender for the presidency in 2008 -- if only for the fact that just about every senator looks in the mirror each morning and sees a future president. If that's the case, Feingold must've been attempting to woo the Bush Derangement Syndrome-suffering base of […]
The Campaign to Defend the Constitution (except that whole freedom of religion thing) -- a liberal "grassroots" group is taking out ads linking Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, Ralph Reed and Traditioanl Values Coalition Chairman Rev. Lou Sheldon to convicted felon Jack Abramoff. "We're trying to get the message out that things […]
My main criteria for convicted Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham's successor is twofold: I want him/her to keep their trousers buckled and keep their hands in their own pockets. I've been getting a plethora of campaign mailers over the past month and hae been mostly disinterested in them. Many candidates are running either on their biography […]
The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments today on the Tom DeLay-orchestrated Texas redistricting plan that gave Republicans a majority of congressional seats in that state for the first time in decades. Democrats and their liberal allies are, predictably, crying foul because the new plan effectively ensured Republican control of the House for the […]
Well, it looks like the Progress for America Voter Fund has gotten the Minnesota Democratic Party in full outrage mode. The conservative advocacy group is running a series of support-the-troops/support-the-Iraq-war spots that have the Dems questioning their own patriotism. The Minneapolis Star Tribune has more tonight. They report on KSTP television's refusal to run the […]
I usually agree with George Will, but today's column isn't one of them. Will argues that the NSA surveillance program is "monarchical." The next time a president asks Congress to pass something akin to what Congress passed on Sept. 14, 2001 -- the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) -- the resulting legislation might […]
San Francisco Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, a Democrat, was on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes" last night to talk about his opposition to having the USS Iowa turned into a museum on the San Francisco bayfront. Of course, it didn't take long for Sandoval to show how completely insane he is -- he wants the U.S. […]
It's days like today that you've got to be thankful for the utter incompetence of Florida voters. Had more of them been able to actually cast the vote they meant to cast for Vice President Al Gore, we would've had this nutcase in charge of our response to terrorism. Al Gore told a mainly Saudi […]
When Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone died several years ago, his funeral was not about him, it was about Democrat politics. A genial guy who was liked by even his political opponents was used to paint Republicans as evil. When it came to deciding whether to remember Wellstone or attack Republicans, too often attack Republicans won […]
