There's been a lot of discussion about the latest Bush tax cut plan and whether it's wise to give so much back to "the rich." But a chart on Page 35 of this week's Time magazine has me confused about the less-talked about Democratic plan. Entitled "For Richer or Poorer," the chart compares the "estimated […]
From the op-ed pages of The New York Times is a piece which details, as Bill and Hillary Clinton say, what the Republican party does "on the back roads every day."
In the wake of the "Trent Lott Stupidity," there was a landslide of denunciations from both conservative and liberal columnists -- as there should have been. There's a discussion that needs to take place in America regarding race. In the nearly 40 years since the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, America has come […]
Steven Hayward over at National Review Online has a piece defending former president Ronald Reagan from the false and frivolous racism charges with which some race-baiters have tried to tar as many Republicans as they can. To be sure, it is difficult to imagine that Reagan was oblivious to the historical baggage of the phrase […]
Except for the New York Times editorial page. Specifically, columnist Bob Herbert. Look, Lott said something very stupid.

Bush's GOP party victory in Tuesday's elections, saying that it was a repudiation of the American "cowboy" president's unpopularity. Saddam noted that the GOP had a slim majority in its Senate and House -- whereas the Iraqi democracy showed that Hussein had the […]
Final results are in and it looks like it will be an interesting four years in the Grossmont Union High School District. The three nutcases won. I'm not sure how much credit/blame to give the local Republican party, but they're going to have egg on their face. *ON A RELATED NOTE* It appears that the […]
Evidence of this fact for the Democratic Party was last week's memorial pep rally for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone. Evidence of this fact for the GOP, locally at least, comes in the form of a door-hanger the San Diego County Republican Party was handing out last week. It's what you would expect from any […]
National Review's Deroy Murdock gives you the rest of the story when it comes to which major political party profits from the labor of American workers. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and his ilk on the left crow about Halliburton, Harken Energy and shady dealings by prominent Republicans that have resulted in financial loss […]
