You know, because a week will make a big difference Senate Democrats are considering a plan that could delay a committee vote on Samuel Alito’s Supreme Court nomination for at least a week, slowing what could have been a quick confirmation for President Bush’s pick to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

It’s not really true that the Democrats have no plans. They do. They have two types. The first being the ones that they refuse to actually push except by accident. Those are their core beliefs. Weak on National Security and Defense, abortion on demand, high taxation, BIG gov’t, huge social programs, and control of what […]

Found over at the website for the Democratic House Leader, the wonderful Nancy "kill the Ca. Tiger Salamander" Pelosi: Democrats are working hard to protect America from domestic terrorism by helping local police and firefighters, and increasing security at ports, power plants, roads, and bridges.
