In sending in this link, a reader offered, &#8220;I&#8217;m becoming more and more convinced that Frank believes he&#8217;s vulnerable which is why he&#8217;s behaving the way he has been lately ie Saying Fannie and Freddie should be abolished, etc.&#8221;  Just over a week ago, Jim Geraghty cited a poll from the Bay State indicating that &#8220;54% of registered voters inMassachusetts are either somewhat or very likely to vote against their incumbent Democratic ...]]></description>

. . . if Biden and Palin were both to be interviewed on Fox News, I think you’d see the same difference in treatment (i.e., Fox would gun for Biden much more than they would gun for Palin)
Now, I don&#8217;t know how familiar that reader is with FoxNews, but the network features a variety of anchors, reporters and commentators &#8212; who have a great ...]]></description>

Today’s report shows our teachers, police officers, firefighters, and nurses are still feeling the worst of the Bush recession — while Republican leaders demean them as ‘special interests’ and try to block legislation that will grow our economy,

The fallout continues for the laughingstock John Kerry and his woes over the good ship SS 1040. Or maybe to use his own words we should call it the Botched Joke. Ironically by running to his favorite newspaper to try and control the damage he&#8217;s just kept the story alive.

Born in Tampico, Illinois, Ronald Wilson never lost faith in the American nation &#8212; or the American people.
Or, as the Gipper himself might put it, he always have faith in the American nation and the American people.  He kept his optimism even when times were tough.  When, before his economic policies kicked in and ...]]></description>

When then-president Bush did not speak out, it was deemed a sign of his indifference, evidence that the recently reelected president was out of touch.

		<description><![CDATA[As we celebrate today the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Empire, let us take a moment to remember the bitter legacy of Communism, based on an ideology drawn up not by men who studied human nature, but by an intellectual who studied law and philosophy and surrounded himself by other radicals.
Marx had little (if any) contact with the working classes for whom he claimed to speak and little (if any) experience with the actual creation of wealth.  He largely ...]]></description>

Now that Steve Driehaus, who currently represents the Queen City, voted in favor of HR 3962, he has all but guaranteed that Steve Chabot, the man he  ousted in 2008 by clinging to Obama&#8217;s coattails, will win his old seat back.  And Chabot won&#8217;t be the only Republican ousting a Democratic incumbent next fall.

The effort in involved the White House Chief of Staff, New York State&#8217;s senior senator, the Speaker of the New York Assembly, the chair of the state Democratic Party and other heavy hitters.  They even dispatched a Long Island Democratic Congressman to the district to meet with the one-time Republican candidate.

The safe bet though would be for an Owens victory.  The one certainty now is that Scozzafava will not be serving the remainder of McHugh&#8217;s term.

One of President Obama&#8217;s top advisers said Sunday the Bush administration failed to ask critical questions about the war in Afghanistan, leaving the Obama administration starting from scratch &#8212; and leaving the war &#8220;adrift.&#8221;

In this era of multiple sources of news, we&#8217;re pleased to see them out there.  They may give our critics greater voice, but, that just gives us a greater opportunity to expose the flaws in their arguments and so make a better case for our policies.

Funny how both of these networks found a quote that happened to be useful in bludgeoning a prominent conservative too good to check. I wonder when was the last time they got the same fact wrong when reporting a political story.

They probably thought that by picking a social liberal, they could appeal to more moderate voters, as if the entirety of the party&#8217;s problems were related to its backing of social conservative causes and candidates.

		<description><![CDATA[While my Congressman has, to his credit, never taken an earmark to benefit our district, he has also never held a job in the sector he so delights in regulating.  He doesn&#8217;t understand how money is made, innovation fostered and jobs created.   For over forty years, Henry Waxman has served in government, six years in the California Assembly in Sacramento before being elected to Congress in 1974.
Together with his Bay State colleague Ed Markey, who has spent nearly as long as his California elder in elective office ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is incredible how prescient was the nineteenth century novelist George Eliot (née Mary Anne Evans), who died approximately one century before Iran&#8217;s Islamic &#8220;Revolution, was about the driving force of this tyranny.
As Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashes out at President Obama for interfering in Iranian affairs, it becomes increasingly clear to all but the most narrow-minded ideologues that nothing the United States can do or say, no matter how our leaders abase themselves before the mullahs, will change their attitude towards us.  For they &#8220;need&#8221; to demonize us. ...]]></description>

Michael Dukakis tried to make the 1988 election about competency instead of ideology, but George H.W. Bush made it about Ronald Reagan and Michael Dukakis.   The Gipper&#8217;s Vice President won forty states that year.  Had that Bush remembered the Gipper, he might have held his own four years later against Bill Clinton who, understanding the appeal of the Fortieth President, promised a middle ...]]></description>

If Bill Clinton entered a room with one hundred people, ninety-nine of them loving him, but one opposed to him, he would spend his entire time trying to persuade that one to like him, to appreciate his qualities and recognize his accomplishments.

The President had to react to the former Vice President&#8217;s; the Vice President merely wanted to set the record straight.
Whereas Obama is &#8220;uncomfortable with dissenting voices being heard without a rebuttal,&#8221; Cheney has no interest in winning a popularity contest.  He could care less about the media warming to him.  Yet, even pundits and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was something about Barack Obama I liked in the first part of last year&#8217;s presidential campaign.  Perhaps it was just the contrast between him and Hillary Clinton, his chief rival for the Democratic nomination.  He spoke well, he looked good.  For a while, it seemed that this charismatic (relatively) young man could really unite the nation.
He showed respect for conservatives and our ideas.  He appreciate the greatness of the Gipper.
But, as the campaign wore on, it became increasingly apparent that there wasn&#8217;t much novelty behind ...]]></description>

If the President truly wishes to change the tone in our nation&#8217;s capital, he&#8217;s going to have to do two things, first, refrain from blaming his predecessor for the nation&#8217;s problems (and otherwise fault Republican motives) and second, dare to take his own party and other critics of Republicans to ...]]></description>

Earlier today, when reading a book by a man trained in Jungian analysis, Robert Johnson, I had a notion about the psychological projections of a large number of our fellow Americans.  Now, the stuff I was reading did not ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday when &#8220;climbing&#8221; the Stairmaster, they had MSNBC on at my gym.  I had quite a laugh watching Chris Matthews.  He was talking about the President&#8217;s European trip.  And while he didn&#8217;t quite get a thrill up his leg, I was wondering if they kept drool buckets on hand at MSNBC.
He reported the trip much as Soviet television must have reported a Brezhnev trip to North America back in Communism&#8217;s heyday.  Matthews just couldn&#8217;t praise him enough.  And then he brought on two panelists to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems to be the standard Democratic practice now to blame the economic crisis on George W. Bush as if Democrats&#8217; hands were perfectly clean and they had done everything possible to prevent this from happening.  Last month, the President said he &#8220;inherited&#8221; the budget deficit at the same time he was making plans to leave his successor an even bigger deficit.
Now, his fellow Democrat Harry Reid has called the recent Senate passage of the president&#8217;s budget is &#8220;a critical step&#8221; in the direction of cleaning &#8220;up the mess ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in 1989, shortly after I moved to Washington, D.C., news broke that Barney Frank&#8217;s housemate (lover, in some accounts) Stephen Gobie was running a prostitution ring out of the Massachusetts Congressman&#8217;s Washington, D.C. home.  Not just that, Frank used his congressional privilege to fix Gobie&#8217;s parking tickets and intervened on his behalf with Virginia probation officials.
What struck me at the time was the Democrat&#8217;s rather cavalier attitude toward his wrongdoing.  Newsweek ran a cover study which made it seem the challenges of being a closeted gay Congressman ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In commenting on an editorial in the Economist wondering where President Obama went wrong, the ever insightful Jennifer Rubin summarizes how this supposedly post-partisan leader has governed.
His mode of governance &#8212; denigrate the opposition, engage in ad hominem attacks, refuse to compromise on substantive policy, disguise radical policy intentions with a haze of meaningless rhetoric &#8212; bespeaks someone supremely confident in his ideological views and undaunted by fears (which are slowly creeping up on his Red state colleagues) of having overshot his mandate.
Her words call to mind a thought I ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the ideas behind this post have been kicking around in my head for some time now, it was an e-mail exchange with John (Hawkins) which prompted me to write it.  I have cross-posted it at my blog, GayPatriot.  I responded to John&#8217;s commentary on Andrew in this post, The MSM&#8217;s 9 Favorite Republican Hating Republican Pundits: A Guide and he indicated my explanation for Andrew&#8217;s hard left turn would be a good topic to blog on, so here it is, with gratitude for John&#8217;s encouragement.

		<description><![CDATA[Beyond being a Saturday guest poster on this blog, I blog regularly at GayPatriot, one of the leading gay conservative blogs.  Being a gay conservative blogger has afforded me a unique perspective into the changing attitudes of conservatives toward gays and the seemingly stultified ones of all too many on the left.
While some of our readers on the left have showed great respect for our ideas, frequently using the comments section to raise valid criticism of our ideas, all too many would rather dismiss us as hypocrites than respond ...]]></description>

First the psychiatrist treated the pessimist. Trying to brighten his outlook, the psychiatrist took him to a room piled to the ceiling with brand-new toys. . . . the little boy burst into tears. &#8220;What&#8217;s the matter?&#8221; the psychiatrist asked, baffled. &#8220;Don&#8217;t you want to play with any of the toys?&#8221; &#8220;Yes,&#8221; the ...]]></description>

Maybe it&#8217;s because I had just read Jim Hoft&#8217;s post on how Obama groupie Chris Matthews followed the example of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs in attacking Rick Santelli, the latest individual to gain popular acclaim for taking on the president&#8217;s policies, that I saw the similarity between the two situations.
In the celebrated Frank Capra cinema classic, as soon as Senator Smith (James Stewart) make clear ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember how so many critics of former President George W. Bush called the Texan &#8220;divisive&#8221;?  One columnist contended that the Republican used &#8220;scare tactics&#8221; to &#8220;demean politics and voters.&#8221;  They faulted him for deriding his opponents.
Now, I have a challenge for those who continue to berate Bush.  Can you find anything in his speeches or other remarks, particularly in his first few weeks (even months) in office, when he derided his political opponents as much as his successor has in the past two days?
Did Bush ever accuse ...]]></description>

As we celebrate Reagan&#8217;s birthday during the Administration of the first of his successors trying to repudiate his ideas, it&#8217;s important that we remember what those ideas were.  He provided a nice summary in his 1964 speech ...]]></description>

Finding that &#8220;Bush hatred and Obama euphoria . . . tend to reveal more about those who feel them than the men at which they are directed,&#8221; Berkowitz, like just as Leah did when commenting at my blog, calls the two seemingly different phenomena, &#8220;opposite sides of the same ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his campaign for the White House, Barack Obama did talk at great length about the need to fix our economy, but he did not make a multi-hundred billion dollar &#8220;stimulus&#8221; the centerpiece of his economic plan.  With the federal government having just shelled out $700 billion in the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), the bailout, one would think that responsible stewards of the federal Treasury would not seek an even greater amount in additional government spending.
But, they are, even as the federal deficit reaches record levels, both in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I find most annoying about the coverage of President Obama&#8217;s inauguration was how certain Democrats compared the good will shown and national unity expressed to the previous two inaugurals, both of George W. Bush.
It&#8217;s as if that Republican created the contention of those two ceremonies,  But, the then-president wasn&#8217;t the one organizing the protests against his swearing-in.  Those who make that comparison, while meaning to slight the former president, unwittingly end up slighting his attackers.
It just seems that some people, a class of people ...]]></description>
