Misc Commentary For Nov 10, 2004

— “Alberto Gonzales looks to be W’s choice to replace John Ashcroft and personally, I think it’s a great pick. Gonzales is a Bush loyalist with a reputation for being tough on terror and plenty of legal experience that shows he’s up to the job. Some people aren’t all that high on him because they […]

 

You Don’t Have To Be A Social Conservative To Be A Republican

Michele Catalano over at A Small Victory is one those “security moms” we’ve heard so much about. While Michele isn’t comfortable with everything in the conservative agenda, particularly the social issues, she is concerned about national security and she’s repulsed by the bile spewing Michael Moore element of the Democratic Party. I think that’s a […]

 

In My World: Window Shopping By Frank J.

“Time to spend that political capital, people,” Bush told his staff, “That’s why I called all of you who ain’t resigned yet together. First off, I’d like to thank Rover for this great victory.” Karl Rove emerged from the shadows. “My evil power grows. Muh ha ha ha!” “That’s super,” Bush remarked, and looked back […]

 

RWN’s Favorite Quotes From Joe Scarborough’s ‘Rome Wasn’t Burnt In A Day’

Joe Scarborough’s “Rome Wasn’t Burnt In A Day” is a fantastic book for political junkies. Joe Scarborough, who most people know through his show on MSNBC, “Scarborough Country,” originally made a name for himself as a freshmen congressman back in 1994. Because of a huge backlash against Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America, […]

 

I Love Jet Noise On Choice & Personal Responsibility

Cassandra from I Love Jet Noise punched up a superb response to a Michael Kinsley’s whinging about the values issue (Free LA Times Subscription Required To Read). Although the main thrust of the piece was supposed to be about values, Cassandra did a masterful job of explaining how libs & conservatives differ on personal responsibility, […]

 

My Advice For The Republican Party

This last election was a sweet, sweet, victory for the Party. We get four more years of Bush, we have 55 Senators now, a lock on the House at least until 2010, and a majority of governorships. And let’s face it, things are trending our way and have been at least since Ronald Reagan came […]

 

My Advice For The Democratic Party

(Note: For the purposes of the post, I am setting ideology aside and giving my best, most honest, advice to the Democrats about what they need to do to revive their political fortunes. If any of the conservatives reading RWN are worried about that — don’t — they’ll never listen to a conservative). This is […]

 


Misc Commentary For 11/08/04

— Hey, it sounds like that old monster Arafat is going to get about the most appropriate resting place for his corpse outside of a pig pen…. “Unkempt, ankle deep in rubbish and the air thick with flies from the stinking market next door, the Arafat family plot could not be a more inauspicious burial […]

 



An Open Letter To American And European Liberals From A Red State Republican

Since George W. Bush was reelected there has been a lot of very angry talk from the left about “Red State Americans”. Since then, those of us in the red states have been called “greedy,” “sister marryin’,” “slow learners” & “fascists” who live in “Jesusland”. Well, I’m a “Redstate Republican” from the South and I […]

Misc Commentary For 11/05/04

— So Arafat’s about to kick the bucket? Suits me just fine. I only regret that terrorist vermin is going to die in a bed instead of violently like so many of his victims. I know some people worry about what will happen after Arafat dies, but face it, Arafat is just about the worst […]

The Ultimate Third Party Candidate

Had this third party candidate had the money to run more commercials, he might have siphoned enough votes away from George Bush and his GI Joe allies to throw the race to Kerry. And an interesting question: Had GI Joe launched a missile at this guy’s campaign HQ, would it have been a violation of […]

Will There Be Major Litigation?

I tend to doubt it because the margins are too big. It’s one thing to try to go to court in a state like Florida when there’s a 1000 vote spread and you’ve won the popular vote, but I don’t see Kerry trying to steal a win in a situation like this. For one thing, […]
