The GOP had an opportunity to fix the immigration problem twice under Bush. Once when they still ran Congress and once this year when they could redeem themselves. But no, the amnesty hypochondriacs had to start bashing everyone in the conservative coalition who disagreed with them and starting a sit-home protest to teach everyone, especially […]

Found this bit of bad news while perusing Memeorandum on the latest news stories out in the blogoshpere. It seems the nights of endless phone solicitations at home are about to come roaring back because someone in Congress did not make the registration process for not being harassed at night a permanent thing: When you […]

You would think the GOP would appreciate the fact that democracies are formed by the people being governed, not by outside egotists playing God. But it seems some of the GOP senators have been infected with the same brain-draining, ego-boosting disease that makes every liberal in Congress an expert on everything for everyone else on […]

Update: OK, assuming one needs a modicum of an IQ to go to MIT it is now argued the ‘fake bomb’ is only a bizarre fashion statement (and given the battery and what rain does to batter casings I would add “dysfunctional”). Sorry, someone who lives in Hawaii must have done a trip through airport […]

You think slandering the military and those who serve to defend this great country is only an America Leftwing thing? Sadly it is a global problem: A senior figure in the Australian Government was under pressure to resign yesterday after comparing a political opponent to a concentration camp guard.

Possibly – but it definitely will help them, and biodiversity as well: Climate change may lead to lush growth rather than catastrophic tree loss in the Amazonian forests, researchers from the US and Brazil have found. A study, in the journal Science, found that reduced rainfall had led […]

What happens when some far right hot heads go off half cocked against the leader of their party and call him a traitor, or give him names like El Presidente Jorge Bush? The moderate middle, which determines who wins elections, dumps the GOP as too unstable and untrustworthy to be an ally: Dozens of corporate […]

What destroyed al-Qaeda in Iraq was their blind ruthlessness and willingness to do anything for power. In al-Qaeda case that is a very brutal and bloody distance they are willing to go. But in the end it did not matter how far they were willing to go (the passion of a martyr knows few bounds, […]

Want to know how powerful MoveOn.org is with Democrats? MoveOn provides the life blood – money – of any political campaign. And it has tons of money (thanks to loop hole in election laws) from a few fringe liberals (Soros to name one) which means it can throw out opposition ads with wild abandon. This […]

I just wanted to add some more thoughts to the post I started below on how the GOP will still lose Congress no matter how bad the Democrats perform because of their over-the-top stance (from a vocal minority) on immigration. For those of us who have allied with the conservative coalition since Reagan’s glorious two […]
