Liberals Taking Credit for Conservative Ideas
I find this story in the Houston Chronicle amusing: Republican Gov. Rick Perry rallied his evangelical, socially conservative base on the issue, but political analysts said Proposition 2′s success doesn’t necessarily predict future success for individual politicians. “I don’t see how it can be useful for a party or a candidate because this so transcends [...]

Cindy Sheehan for President? I think most people think Hillary Clinton will take the Democratic nomination for President in 2008. Since Hillary won’t take the looney-left-oppose-the-war-at-all-costs position, the anti-war left is looking for somebody to oppose her. If Cindy’s campaign gets some resonance, then Hillary has to take a position, and either way, she alienates [...]

Will Hurricane Katrina spell the end of George Bush’s Presidency? Almost certainly yes, with a few caveats. As the full horror of Hurricane Katrina sinks in, thousands of desperate columnists are asking if this is the end of George Bush’s presidency.

A recent visitor took umbrage with with my Religious Linkage for Monday post last week. Part of that post was a Worldnet article called “10 Reasons I’ve Grown to Despise the Left.” The visitor disagreed with the post and cited all sorts of things wrong with right wingers.

What happened to all the Karl Rove stories? Karl Rove go *poof* as the news media gears up to oppose John Roberts for the Supreme Court. The Karl Rove stories were just like the Tom DeLay stories.

OpinionJournal points out how the issue of abortion has given Republicans winning elections ever since Roe v Wade. After that decision, the Republicans took the pro-life side in 1980, and the Democrats took the pro-choice side. Every presidential and vice-presidential nomination since then has voted their party line. Since then, Republican have taken the Senate, [...]

Peggy Noonan has a great article today – how recent comments from Howard Dean and Hillary Clinton alienate Americans. Peggy points out that throughout America, Republicans are friends with Democrats and Democrats are friends with Republicans, and while they differ on issues, they often are polite and respectful to each other. In Washington, though, they [...]
