They Just Hurt Themselves
While I expected the Democrats to make inroads, I’m shocked at how big they are. The Democrats didn’t have any real coherent position except “We’re against everything Bush.” It worked with the help of media – I saw one survey this week that said only 12% of news stories last week were favorable to Republicans. [...]

I’m fascinated when a poll turns up distinct differences between groups of people A UPI-Zogby poll asked participants to rank their top requirements in a candidate. The interesting difference is that Republicans (63.2%) said that “values, morals and character” were the most important consideration in choosing a candidate. The Democrats? 42.3% said “opposition to the [...]

I’ve never seen so many news stories trumpeting the Democrats winning one or both seats of congress. Tonight, CNN was saying how great it was to have a divided Congress, or a President in one party and the Congress in another. The media is trying to brainwash the American people into believing this is a [...]

Not enough of you called last night. Texas RINOs raised taxes last night. Not satisfied with squeezing out homeowners or the $8 billion or more surplus, RINOs wanted more. What’s most disappointing is that Republicans said that it was a bipartisan bill. Yes, the RINOs needed the help of Democrats to raise taxes. Do we [...]

I don’t think it’s any surprise that Republicans are happier than Democrats, what with the “angry left” vitriol I read in the news. What is surprising to me that Republicans have been happier than Democrats by such a wide margin every year since the Pew Research Center started polling in 1972. Also no surprise: conservatives [...]

I wrote last July that I fully expected the liberal Democrat party to try and claim Christianity for themselves under the name of “progressive Christianity.” A prime example is in USAToday recently that tries to show that “playing the God card” isn’t working for George Bush and the Republicans. Even if, as the author admits, [...]

Some good reading links for today: Michelle Malkin finds a liberal on television that thinks conservatives are hateful and angry. Then gives examples of the angry left that are hard to top. Accessorized by a permanent scowl (hard to believe she was once considered a comedienne), Ms. Garofalo accused conservatives of having “an anger management [...]

I haven’t done this in a while – what brings people to Chasing the Wind? Here’s a list of searches people use. By the way, this list is always up to date in my sidebar, down near the bottom where it says “Referral Links.” Some days, that the most fun part of blogging. Democrats vs. [...]

That had to be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen our circus in Washington do. Democrats call for a pullout from Iraq, Republicans say, “We can vote on that” and Democrats say, “It’s a trick!” and vote against it. Nobody wants troops in Iraq any longer than necessary. Any attempt to schedule a withdrawal though, [...]

When Bush pushed for Harriet Miers, I balked. The Republicans are not only not acting like the majority party, but the few battles they win seem like they’re for the other side. The size of government balloons. From the lack of social security reform to the nomonation of Harriet Miers, I’m done giving Bush the [...]
