No Message Dems

From the Washington Post: We're not sure which is more comment-worthy: the exploitativeness or the incoherence of the Democrats' new Internet video, "America Needs a New Direction." Two things are clear: To judge by this video, Democrats don't think much of their audience, and they don't have a message beyond, "Vote for us, we're the […]

Democrats Urge Blurring Separation Of Powers

Remember when the Democrats were up in arms (a few Republicans too, like Hastert) over the search of William Jeffersons (D-La) office, claiming that it was an abuse of the Separation of Powers? Seems that they don't mind violating said separation when looking the other way Senior Democrats called on Sunday for a broader review […]

Former Rented Dem VP Candidate Calls For War On Poverty

Breck Girl makes a reappearence (sorry, couldn't resist this political story): Former vice presidential candidate John Edwards, who is mulling over a run for the presidency in 2008, called for withdrawal from Iraq within the next 18 months, and for the U.S. government to launch another war _ on poverty _ in a speech Friday […]

Still All Nance

WTW: No Flag Amendment, Needed One Vote

Hey, y'all Jebediah here on a beautiful White Trash Wednesday. Finally might see some Sun here in the Carolinas. Now y'all in them Blue States in the North East get a taste. Bwahahahahaha! Anyhow, looks like the Flag Amendment vote failed again, and, of course the Drive By Media shows their true colors The narrow […]

Everyone Knew It

Just a general thought: if everyone knew that USA and the Treasury Department were investigating where the terrorist money is, where it came from, and where it is going, then how come the NY Slimes had to splash it all over the front page? We all know that the weather is going to do something. […]

McKinney Allows Racist Comments

Via CNS News: Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.), who charged last March that the Capitol Police harassed her because she is "a female black Congresswoman," allows posters on her re-election website to use racial slurs, a conservative black leader says.

NY Times: Let’s Burn The Flag

In a typical Times editorial, the paper is taking the position that a Constitutional amendment would be, well, unconstitutional. With the Fourth of July fast approaching, Senate Republicans are holding a barbecue. Unfortunately, instead of grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, they are trying to torch a hole in the First Amendment's free speech guarantee by […]

"The public is very happy about the fact that we have not been attacked since 9/11," Sen. Mitch McConnell, the second-ranking Senate Republican, said, even though polls show […]
