It appears that Democrat presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark had better position himself as being the kind of military guy liberals who hate the military can vote for, because he isn't going to get the military vote. From the Los Altos Town Crier report on an appearance by former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of […]
Sen. Orrin Hatch calls the New York Times editorial page on its hypocrisy. You make a plea for "straight talk on judicial nominees" (editorial, Sept. 10), though your own talk has not always been consistent. On Jan. 1, 1995, an editorial proclaimed, "Time to Retire the Filibuster." Yet on Feb. 13 of this year, you […]

But by projecting all evil onto Republicans, Democrats spread the same political disease: the notion that you don't have to be wary of lying or cheating unless the other side is doing it. Lying […]
NOW president Kim Gandy has written a letter to The New York Times defending her organization's decision to trivialize itself by endorsing Carol Moseley-Braun for president. If Braun ever started polling in double digits, the media would be forced to stop ignoring her corrupt past. She would then plunge once more into the depths of […]
Presidential hopeful and AWOL legislator Dick Gephardt appeared on Fox News Sunday and demonstrated unequivocally that he should never set foot anywhere near the White House. In the first segment of the show, Secretary of State Colin Powell revealed that the French would like to have a solid date for turning over complete control of […]
I'm dumbfounded by what I've been hearing during the debates and in interviews with prominent Democrats following President Bush's Sunday speech requesting $87 billion for the military and the reconstruction of Iraq.
