Reason number 76372 not to belong to the Democratic Party: They target a private citizen to silence him from using his constitutionally-protected first amendment right to free speech. It's ok to disagree with Rush Limbaugh. I happen to agree with much of what he says, and think he's a positive influence. And if you disagree, … Continue reading Another Reason Not to Be a Democrat

One Politician With Conviction
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeRepublican Judd Gregg abruptly withdraws his nomination over two irreconcilable differences with Obama. Over meaningful issues, I may add. “However, it has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census there … Continue reading One Politician With Conviction
What Did We Learn?
Obama beat McCain handily, 349 to 163 electoral votes. What we should have learned, I don't know that we did. What we should have learned is that we have principles and ideals and we should stick to them. Ronald Reagan knew it, and we gave him victories. The 1994 Republican House knew that, and we … Continue reading What Did We Learn?
The Loss of Conservatism
Image by Getty Images via DaylifeIf the major news media has succeeded today in discouraging conservatives from voting, the trifecta will be complete - Legislative, Executive, and Media. The blame for such a loss can be spread to many people. Let's start at the top. I like President Bush, and I threw my entire support … Continue reading The Loss of Conservatism
The Scariest Part of Tuesday's Election
It can be summed up in this little quote: Democrats are looking ahead to expanded power. New New Deal. Unfettered ability to impose government oversight, appoint activist judges, raise taxes, and spend whatever they want on whatever they want. I am so not looking forward to the next 4 years.
Rob from the Rich, Stiff the Poor, Too
I stared writing about "Joe the Plumber" yesterday based on a story at the New York Post. Little did I know how huge the story was about to become. John McCain launched Joe the Plumber into the national spotlight during last night's debate. My post was going to be about how Obama's strategy results in … Continue reading Rob from the Rich, Stiff the Poor, Too
One Less Bad Candidate to Vote For
I think I keep hoping for some unknown conservative candidate to suddenly appear and give me somebody to vote for. Like the ghost of Ronald Reagan, perhaps. What I want is a candidate that is socially and fiscally conservative. Socially conservative because, like it or not, the President sets an example for the morals of … Continue reading One Less Bad Candidate to Vote For
Silence!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I haven't posted much. Been really, really busy. I still owe Jennifer my answers to The Eight. I'll get to it, soon, I hope. I wanted to blog about how the Democrats are findng religion. Apparently it's ok with The Media if the Democrats talk about their faith, but if … Continue reading Silence!
Killing Immigration Reform
It's almost dead. Let's hope it keeps dying. The immigration "reform" bill which basically opens the door to a flood of illegal immigration is hitting some roadblocks. If it passes, US taxpayers will essentially be footing the healthcare and school bill for anybody that can get into the US by any means, and strip the … Continue reading Killing Immigration Reform
Free Country! Come and Get It! (ding ding ding)
My country doesn't understand me. Whether you're a liberal or a conservative, this bill should make you suspicious. It was negotiated behind closed doors for 3 months by George Bush and Ted Kennedy. Regardless of your political viewpoint, I know you don't agree with both of those guys. Nobody can. The Senate is poised to … Continue reading Free Country! Come and Get It! (ding ding ding)
Surrender
Today, the Democratic Senate will attempt to surrender to the terrorists again. This is the second attempt to surrender. Bush vetoed the first attempt, and he promises to veto the second attempt. In the meantime, funding for the troops is being held hostage by defeatists that claim to "support the troops." How they claim to … Continue reading Surrender
Flip-Flop Again
I haven't looked into the 2008 Presidential season yet, it's too early. Hillary makes me shudder, Obama doesn't have any experience, and no republicans have really stepped forward. Afterwards, while answering a question from a viewer on the program YOUR SHOW about why he chose not to run, Kerry said he had decided it wasn't … Continue reading Flip-Flop Again
Ah, to be more like the rest of the civilized world…..
Hillary is thinking big again. I thought she learned her lesson last time: She also said Democrats would focus on improving the quality and affordability of health care _ a touchy matter for the former first lady, who in 1993 led her husband's calamitous attempt to overhaul the nation's health care system. The failure of … Continue reading Ah, to be more like the rest of the civilized world…..
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. … Continue reading They Just Hurt Themselves
Character Counts
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 … Continue reading Character Counts
So Much Liberal Media Today
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 … Continue reading So Much Liberal Media Today
What Is Your Opinion?
Has it really been a week since I posted? I think the cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel is a mistake. I think Pat Buchanan's new book that western civilization is inflammatory but has a lot of truth. I think scientist that predicted a very active hurricane season ought to be brought to prime-time television, admit … Continue reading What Is Your Opinion?
Catch and Release
Do any liberals read this? I honestly would like to understand why the Democrats would oppose this. Right now, the Border Patrol arrests illegal aliens and then... releases them. Sometimes they're scheduled to attend a hearing later, but most of them don't show. I don't know why we bother arresting them in the first place … Continue reading Catch and Release
RINOs in Texas Raise Taxes
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 … Continue reading RINOs in Texas Raise Taxes
No Longer Googling
No longer googling. From Google's leftist leanings (98% of their contributions go to Democrats) to their support of Chinese censorship, I need a new search engine. I've switched to A9.com. It's owned by Amazon.com, you can earn credit on Amazon stuff, and it's easier to type.
Mainstream Media Sour Grapes
Amazing. The mainstream media criticized Dick Cheney for not releasing information on this weekend's shooting fast enough (even though it appears quick enough to me), then criticized him when the news was released to a local Texas newspaper instead of the gaggle of Washington reporters. Now they're critical of him because he chose to release … Continue reading Mainstream Media Sour Grapes
Put On a Happy Face
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 … Continue reading Put On a Happy Face
Democrats Misplay "God Card"
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, … Continue reading Democrats Misplay "God Card"
U.S. Politics Manipulated by Liberal Media
A three year old story hits the front page of the NY Times. The NSA started doing eavesdopping samplings after 9/11 to track down those "sleeper cells" we Americans were concerned about. Would there be another terrorist attack? Note that this story is an old story around since 2002. Also... The Senate considers filibustering an … Continue reading U.S. Politics Manipulated by Liberal Media
The Left Hates Inequality
On the surface, that doesn't sound so bad. The Left hates inequality. Nobody need be better or worse than anybody else. Trouble is, enforced equality is socialism, communism. Instead of bringing people up from the bottom, equality is enforced by shackling the achievers. When you see a special tax on oil profits, opposition to school … Continue reading The Left Hates Inequality
Why Are You Here?
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 … Continue reading Why Are You Here?
Iraq Withdrawal Vote Fails 403-3
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, … Continue reading Iraq Withdrawal Vote Fails 403-3
Democrats Still Stunned
The Democrats have that "deer in the headlights" look. The Whitehouse has started publishing "corrections" to the Washington Post and New York Times when they say Bush led us like a lone cowboy into war. Then that awesome video of Clinton, Albright and others in their own words from 1998 saying that Saddam was a … Continue reading Democrats Still Stunned
Disgruntled Conservatives
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 … Continue reading Disgruntled Conservatives
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 … Continue reading Liberals Taking Credit for Conservative Ideas
Mid-Week Linkage
Linkfest for Wednesday: Michelle Malkin sheds light on how the anti-war bias of the liberal left newspapers is showing again. The NY Times uses selected quotes from a deceased serviceman's letter to his girlfriend to make you think he's regretting being in combat, while completely leaving out his pride in protecting America. Here's what the … Continue reading Mid-Week Linkage
Too Busy Today
Good stuff today - Democrats throw a tantrum and close the Senate for a day, Tom DeLay gets a new trial judge, people realize the Scooter Libby thing doesn't touch Karl Rove (and in fact, Scooter wasn't charged with the charge Demcrats has hoped for, only for obstructing the investigation), and if that wasn't enough, … Continue reading Too Busy Today
Tom DeLay's Smile
Tom DeLay isn't cooperating with the Democrats. They wanted a media circus yesterday, complete with mugshots they could use for their upcoming campaigns. Instead, Tom DeLay turned himself in in Houston and smiled a big cheesy grin for the camera. The November elections will be over before DeLay's trial begins - which was the whole … Continue reading Tom DeLay's Smile
No Longer Giving Bush the Benefit of the Doubt
I have to admit that after nearly 5 years of being a Bush supporter, I'm having trouble recently continuing to support him. Until 9/11, I though Bush was mostly ineffectual, stymied by the Democrats whenever he tried to accomplish anything. Bush was still a far better choice than Al "Mr. Internet" Gore, though. 9/11 changed … Continue reading No Longer Giving Bush the Benefit of the Doubt

Didn't Change Mind; Still Dislike the Left
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. I threw a penalty flag in my … Continue reading Didn't Change Mind; Still Dislike the Left
John Roberts Replaces Karl Rove
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. There was no meat to them, no substance, just media frenzy looking for something to damage Bush. The … Continue reading John Roberts Replaces Karl Rove
A Liberal Media
I have trouble sympathizing with Bill Clinton. 😛 WASHINGTON (AP) - Former President Clinton, defending his senator-wife's statements on abortion, said Wednesday that Democrats are held to a double standard. The comment came during remarks to Campus Progress, a left-leaning student group. He said young people in his party should speak directly to conservative voters. … Continue reading A Liberal Media
The Roe Effect
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, … Continue reading The Roe Effect
Let the Political Fighting Begin
A vacancy on the Supreme Court: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman on the U.S. Supreme Court and a moderate conservative who often cast the key decisive vote, announced her retirement on Friday, setting the stage for a major political battle over her successor. The battle lines have been drawn for … Continue reading Let the Political Fighting Begin
What Would Kerry Do?
Seeing as how the Democrats are currently hoping the Iraq War fails: For a while last week, the Democrats were doing better at framing the issues. The poll numbers showed that Bush's approval rating was down, that around 60% of the voters had turned against the Iraq War, that support for Bush on his handling … Continue reading What Would Kerry Do?
Regularly Scheduled Programming Resumes
I'm back; let the fun and games continue. 🙂 Yes, I had a wonderful honeymoon at home. We swam in the pool, caught some movies, started moving Diane's clothes and furniture in. And this morning, I had a wonderful fruit and yogurt breakfast waiting for me when I woke up. I see y'all have been … Continue reading Regularly Scheduled Programming Resumes
Seeing Red
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 … Continue reading Seeing Red
Military Ruins Memorial Day for Everyone
BlameBush is on a roll; it's the funniest piece I've read in a long time. The fact is that with the exception of military recruiters, military leadership, military policy, military bases, military parades, military bands, military ships, military weapons, military uniforms, military haircuts, and all forms of military symbolism, it is the left that truly … Continue reading Military Ruins Memorial Day for Everyone
Anger at McCain over Judges
First off, let's be clear about what happened yesterday. There was no "compromise." The Republicans gave in, the Democrats won. Judicial nominees, by US Constitution, are nominimated by the President and the Senate is supposed to "advise and consent." In other words, vote. The "compromise" lets the Republicans vote on 3 judges, Priscilla Owen, Janice … Continue reading Anger at McCain over Judges
Call a Thing By Its Name
Buried deep within the bowels of Chasing the Wind are the comments section, where most of the time it seems to be the place where you can disagree with me. Sometimes y'all agree with me, sometimes you don't. On a recent post, I made the observation that the view toward abortion has become more commonplace, … Continue reading Call a Thing By Its Name
Howard Dean on DeLay, Bin Laden
Howard Dean, Dec 19, 2003 on Osama bin Laden: "I've resisted pronouncing a sentence before guilt is found," Dean said. "I still have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge … Continue reading Howard Dean on DeLay, Bin Laden
Monday Linkfest
The busy weekend is over. Whew. Friday was a visit to the county clerk to sign up for a marriage license. The clerk looked at our drivers licenses suspiciously. "You have the same last name," she said. Bah, let her wonder. 😛 Saturday was the Spring Fling (I posted a picture over the weekend). Diane … Continue reading Monday Linkfest
Working Class
Slate.com questions whether Bush supporters are insane. They point out that the wealth of the working class is shrinking. While the Democrats run on platforms that say they will help, the working class votes Republican anyway. The working class's refusal to synchronize its politics with its economic interests is one of the enduring puzzles of … Continue reading Working Class
Justice Sunday
The news was agog over faith and politics mixing this weekend on "Justice Sunday." I sort of heard it was coming, but I paid little attention. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist was scheduled to speak, and the news media dredged up every voice they could find to say that it was wrong to mix religion … Continue reading Justice Sunday
Campaigning for Fred Hill's Defeat
Texas Representative Fred Hill, R-Richardson, has killed the Appraisal Cap bill HJR-35 today before the debate even began. "The time to kill a snake is when you've got the hoe in your hand," said Rep. Fred Hill, R-Richardson, who has ardently opposed the measure to reduce the limit on how much property tax values can … Continue reading Campaigning for Fred Hill's Defeat
Tom Delay's Ethics
The New York Times and Washington Post have been relentless on attacking Tom DeLay lately on a variety of ethics charges. Now, I'm all in favor of removing unethical politicians when their heads get too big, but is that what's happening here? The National Review gives a rundown on the charges and asks if they're … Continue reading Tom Delay's Ethics
Choosing Topics
Gotta choose my topics carefully otherwise I'll blog full time. 😛 Interesting topics I'm *not* blogging about today: MSN Spaces is out of beta. This is a new blogging site and Microsoft claims 4.5 million bloggers already. 80% of Americans believed that starving Terri Schiavo to death was wrong. Kansas becomes the 18th state to … Continue reading Choosing Topics
Alone in a Crowd
I saw a car the other night on the way to church. On the left side of the car was a bumper sticker, "I am a Pro-Life Democrat, http://www.democratsforlife.org ." On the right side of the car was a yellow ribbon with the words "Support Our Troops, Freedom Isn't Free." And I'm looking at this … Continue reading Alone in a Crowd
Restricting Senate Filibusters
NY Times, January 1, 1995 NY Times, March 6, 2005 In the last session of Congress, the Republican minority invoked an endless string of filibusters to frustrate the will of the majority. This relentless abuse of a time-honored Senate tradition so disgusted Senator Tom Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa, that he is now willing to … Continue reading Restricting Senate Filibusters
Rolling Stone on MoveOn.org
Rolling Stone points out the MoveOn.org's far left agenda hurts the Democrats more than it helps: They signed up 500,000 supporters with an Internet petition -- but Bill Clinton still got impeached. They organized 6,000 candlelight vigils worldwide -- but the U.S. still invaded Iraq. They raised $60 million from 500,000 donors to air countless … Continue reading Rolling Stone on MoveOn.org
What Do the Democrats Stand For?
OpinionJournal today asks, "What do the Democrats stand for?" Then proceeds to eloquently trash the heart of liberalism and what is stands for. Excellent reading today; while applauding the heart behind liberalism, once you recognize that liberalism has a cost, you next have to ask, "how much cost is too much?" And as soon as … Continue reading What Do the Democrats Stand For?
Election Fraud
There are a lot of news stories about the Democrats challenging poll results in Ohio lately, even though Bush won that state by 118,000 votes. Although I think the Democrats are just doing political grandstanding on the issue and it won't change anything, making sure the elections are fair is a noble enough cause. Go … Continue reading Election Fraud
As Long as Democrats Think That, Republicans Will Win
Peggy Noonan has a great article about how the faith and politics today. It's too bad she only writes on Thursdays. The first example she had was when reporters questioned President Bush's speechwriter, Michael Gerson. The reporters wanted to know when the president refers to his "belief" whether he is speaking in "code" to evangelicals. … Continue reading As Long as Democrats Think That, Republicans Will Win

Faking God
Kathleen Parker writes a fantastic article about how religion didn't "work" for the Democrats during this election. Through their post-election soul-searching, Democratic leaders claim to have seen the light. The reason they lost - and the way to win - is God. It was precisely this sort of insight for which God created Monday mornings. … Continue reading Faking God
A Sad American
Thanks to a tip from Spritzy, I read this article from A Sad American. Absolutely amazing article about why this average middle of the road American didn't really want to vote for Bush, but the Democratic party alienated her so bad she couldn't vote for Kerry. Highly recommended reading for both conservative and liberal people. … Continue reading A Sad American
Jesusland Flavored Kool-Aid
At A Small Victory in an article called Jesusland Flavored Kool-Aid, Michelle can't help but notice that the left (the far left fringe *and* the middle left) think this country is turning into a theocracy: If you read them correctly - and I'm not just talking about the fringe elements here, but your everyday journalists, … Continue reading Jesusland Flavored Kool-Aid
One Day at a Time
I never intended to blog politically, but that's sort of the way it turned out over the last few months. I guess that's normal, given the elections. As I get older, I get more opinionated. I read many of my favorite blogs the last couple of days; some are gloating, others are purposefully not gloating. … Continue reading One Day at a Time
All My Horses Were Winners
I only stayed up till midnight last night watching the returns. It was sort of like watching a baseball game, except there were no pitchers or batters or a baseball field. Ok, it wasn't at all like a baseball game except for the numbers going up on a scoreboard. I headed to bed when it … Continue reading All My Horses Were Winners
Crazy Democrat Hijinks
Those crazy Democrats! Besides 10,000 lawyers ready to sue over the election and the vandalism they're doing to GOP campaign headquarters, now they're committing aggravated assault against Republican U.S. Representatives. Ha ha! What will those crazy Democrats think up next? MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida motorist was arrested on Wednesday on charges of trying to … Continue reading Crazy Democrat Hijinks
Democrat Tricks Again
Did you know the Democrats have already filed 9 lawsuits in Florida over the election results, and we haven't even voted yet? Or that the Democrats have a horde of lawyers standing by for even more election shenanigans? Democrats have trained more than 10,000 lawyers for action, if needed, in Florida and other swing states. … Continue reading Democrat Tricks Again
Eliminating Provisional Ballot Chaos
Whew. The goofiest ruling in this election season was in the swing state of Ohio. Ohio is shaping up to be the 2004 version of Florida - whoever wins Ohio next week is likely to be President. U.S. District Judge James Carr issued a ruling a couple of weeks back: if you show up at … Continue reading Eliminating Provisional Ballot Chaos
Bush Nepotism! Horrors!
From a Reuters news story today, it appears that the Democrats worst fears have been realized. Yes - the Bush brothers are helping each other! What is this world coming to? Brothers helping each other? Laws must be passed to stop this sort of fraternal aid. Here's what the Democrats are accusing George Bush and … Continue reading Bush Nepotism! Horrors!

September 19, Columbus Ohio, attacking … Continue reading What the Liberals are Stooping to Now
Democrats Vote Against Their Own Draft Bill
As I mentioned previously, the Democrats introduced a draft bill almost 2 years ago and have been trying ever since to pretend it's Bush and the Republicans that want to draft citizens. That's a completely false rumor - the only 2 bills pending on reinstituting the draft and both were introduced by Democrats. The House … Continue reading Democrats Vote Against Their Own Draft Bill
See BS Snooze: Bogus Draft Story
CBS tries to float another bogus story Tuesday night, this time about a woman who fears her son is going to be drafted, just days after John Kerry says that it is "possible" George Bush will institute a draft. Dan Rather implied that the woman was just an average voter who normally votes for Bush … Continue reading See BS Snooze: Bogus Draft Story
Kerry is Proposing a Draft?
According to an Associated Press story, John Kerry says that a "military draft could be reinstated if voters re-elect President Bush." Then he immediately flip flops and says Kerry would not bring back the draft. I suppose he's trying to do that fear-monger thing, making people think George Bush would reinstate the draft, but George … Continue reading Kerry is Proposing a Draft?
Latest Democrat Missile Misses Target. Again.
If for no other reason, you ought to vote for George Bush because the Democrats have shown themselves to be completely inept. According to the Drudge Report, John Kerry has launched a new campaign today, claiming Bush lied. The latest claim is that campaign literature from 1978 says George Bush claimed to have been in … Continue reading Latest Democrat Missile Misses Target. Again.
The Democrat Party of the Rich Elite
I've noticed the liberal media has dried up on a topic they covered in detail earlier this year. Aghast that George Bush was going to drastically outspend their opponent of choice, the news overflowed with the vast amounts of wealth George Bush had compared the pitiful pauper John Kerry. Now that John Kerry has raised … Continue reading The Democrat Party of the Rich Elite
Zell Miller, Patriotic Democrat
Zell Miller gave a rousing patriotic speech last night to explain why he's switching party lines to vote for George Bush. His heart and mind is his conscience, and he's proudly stated something that's important to me. I am not necessarily a Republican. I don't hold certain ideals because Republicans tell me to; I am … Continue reading Zell Miller, Patriotic Democrat
Vending Machine Wars, Part III
First they forced me to buy sunflower seeds against my will. Then they developed chemical weapons and forced me to buy pink sissy lemonade. Today, though, I declare a victory in the battle against vending machines! The Coke machine here is an odd one - it has a clear glass front with faux icicles to … Continue reading Vending Machine Wars, Part III
Keeping Your Guard Up
Yesterday, the terror alert level was raised in New York, New Jersey and Washington, citing intelligence information that showed financial institutions such as Citibank, Prudential, and the World Bank were possible targets.

Liberal Media Bias Yet Again
Here's the headline: Some Republicans Defect to Kerry's Camp followed by sample stories to justify the headline. Then comes this confession toward the end: Clay Richards, assistant director of the Polling Institute at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, says Kerry is getting about 11 or 12 percent of the Republican vote in Pennsylvania and New Jersey … Continue reading Liberal Media Bias Yet Again
Democrats vs Republicans
SondaK knows exactly what is wrong with the Democrats. Question: How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans and Southern Republicans?

Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes … Continue reading Democrats vs Republicans
USAToday: "I DON'T GET IT"
USAToday tried to think outside the box, but it didn't last long. They hired right-winger Ann Coulter to cover the Democrats, and Michael Moore *shudder* to cover the Democrats. Ann Coulter went first, wrote a scathing, sarcastic, classic Coulter article. USA Today basically said, "I DON'T GET IT IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY" and … Continue reading USAToday: "I DON'T GET IT"
Democratic National Convention
This just in: John Kerry plans to accept the nomination. *zzzzz* I've barely discussed the Democratic National Convention. And do you know why? That's right. It's B-O-R-I-N-G. The only thing remotely interesting was Teresa Heinz telling a reporter to shove it. I was hoping for something interesting to happen: John Kerry announces a new "Principles … Continue reading Democratic National Convention
California Girlie Men

He's trying to do it by compromising up the middle - floating some bonds and cutting some programs. His problem is that … Continue reading California Girlie Men
Houston Chronicle, Worthless Rag
The local Houston Chronicle is a worthless left-wing news rag. There, I said it. They intentionally skip stories about C.L.O.U.T. homeowners protesting their way-out-of-sight property taxes, yet they happily publish this worthless article about Republican Governor Rick Perry: AUSTIN -- Prompted by recent controversies nipping at Gov. Rick Perry, several members of the Texas House … Continue reading Houston Chronicle, Worthless Rag

Bush Won in 2000 Due to "Missing Voters"
An interesting article at the Wall Street Journal this morning calculates the number of "Missing Voters" due to abortions since 1972. Then, armed with surveys and statistics, show that a) Democrats are 30% more likely than Republicans to have an abortion and b) children usually exhibit the voting characteristics of their parents. They then calculate … Continue reading Bush Won in 2000 Due to "Missing Voters"
Coalition of the Wild-Eyed
New Video at George Bush's Campaign Headquarters, Coalition of the Wild-Eyed, makes the point that George Bush is steady leadership.

Democrats are expected to see how silly … Continue reading Coalition of the Wild-Eyed

Voting Games
Apparently, Kerry's guest appearance wasn't as warmly received as he would like today. Senator Bill Frist tossed a couple of barbs at Kerry for missing 80% of the votes this year, then announced the vote would slip a day. Kerry had to leave, so apparently he won't be voting on this issue after all. Raspberries … Continue reading Voting Games
