Another Democrat politician attempted -- again -- to give new impetus to the left-wing loonies who are obsessed with the possibility of a draft. Sen. Daniel Inouye, the Democrat from Hawaii, said, "For the first time in many years the Army and Marine Corps are not meeting their recruiting targets. There are some who are […]
Earlier this week, when I wished Vermont's Jim Jeffords well in his post-legislative career, a commenter suggested that we need more moderates/centrists in the Senate. That got me to thinking. Let's list some Republican moderates/centrists/"mavericks" in the Senate: Lincoln Chafee, R.I. John McCain, Ariz. Olympia Snowe, Maine Susan Collins, Maine Arlen Specter, Pa. If you […]
Over at National Review's "The Corner" there are a plethora of posts on the John Bolton nomination. It appears that the more Melody Townsel's (of Mothers Opposing Bush) charges against Bolton come into public view, the more apparent it is that she's a big, fat liar.
Yesterday's "Best of the Web Today" over at OpinionJournal.com had an item called "Give Me That Old Time Derision." Liberal Democrats are opposed to religion in politics, except when they're for it. "We need to kick the money changers out of the temple and restore moral values to America," Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean […]
The Democrats "Social Security Calculator" is rigged. Democrats, however, aren't pulling them down.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a man whose dishonesty on Fox News Sunday a couple of years back provided this site with its best traffic day ever, was on NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday and proved that times may change, but his dishonesty remains the same. From The Wall Street Journal editorial page [link for subscribers only]: […]
I started hearing radio ads several weeks ago decrying Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's anti-gerrymandering initiative. It should be noted that out of more than 100 races for the state legislature -- both Assembly and Senate -- not a single seat changed parties. The gerrymandering insures that there is little room in either the Democrat or Republican […]
According to Newsweek's Michael Isikoff, in an interview on Fox News' "Special Report," the President Clinton's bumbling National Security Adviser Sandy Berger did not destroy any unique documents as a result of his pilferage. Berger only had access to copies -- though Isikoff noted that it was unclear that Berger was aware they were only […]
Clinton administration national security adviser Sandy Berger will plead guilty to a misdemeanor for taking classified documents out of the National Archives in his pants. Good. However, I think if some analyst or middle-manager at the CIA had done the exact same thing, they'd be facing a felony. The articles don't quote any experts on […]
Today's Wall Street Journal has an editorial that would cause Democrats to squeal like stuck pigs. For those of you who don't have a Journal subscription, the thrust of the piece is that Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia -- the crazy old uncle in the Senate -- pointed out that there is nothing in […]
