Year: 2007

In Arizona, they’re starting to get serious about going after businesses that are knowingly hiring illegal aliens and yet… But this year, the holiday travelers are being joined by scores of families such as Jorge and Liliana Franco, who are driving to Mexico not to visit but to stay – permanently.

Hillary Clinton is a viable candidate for President only because she is treated as delicately as fine china by the mainstream media. Yet, Howard Kurtz has written a piece echoing the Clinton line that the press has been unfairly brutalizing her. Here’s an excerpt from it, After weeks of bad news, Hillary Clinton and her […]

Former presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton today apologized to rival Barack Obama for any offense he may have taken from the way former Sen. Bob Kerry endorsed her candidacy this week. Mr. Kerrey, who ran for president in 1992, in his endorsement remarks mentioned that Sen. Obama’s middle name is Hussein and that he […]

On a semi-regular basis throughout the year, RWN has posted “Quotes of the Day.” Here are my favorite 15 “Quotes of the Day” for 2007. 15) “This is leftism’s great strength: it’s all white lies. That’s its only advantage, as far as I can tell. None of its programs actually works, after all. From statism […]

Yesterday, this story broke about Iowa, In an InsiderAdvantage poll in Iowa, Edwards leads among (977) likely voters 30-26-24 over Clinton and Obama. Edwards is also the clear second choice winner, 42-29-28 over Clinton and Obama. Later that same day, coincidentally, cough cough cough, this story broke in the National Enquirer, “The woman linked to […]

Over at the liberal feminist blog, Feministing, Samhita writes, “I have, let’s see, NO friends that don’t have sex with a guy within the first week of dating him. It is a myth that men are more into sex than women in relationships.” It’s not a myth, Samhita. I don’t know if they’re nappy headed […]

In the last hundred years, there may not have been a single candidate who has come so far, so fast, with such a minimal amount of talent for politics as Hillary Clinton. Following last week’s Democratic debate in Iowa, The Fix had the unique opportunity to sit in on focus groups conducted by The Washington […]

Mike Huckabee’s latest ad should have been the least controversial ad of the campaign. That’s because it doesn’t cover any issues and it’s just Mike Huckabee doing what he does best: being warm and personable as he says that the Christmas season should be about the birth of Christ. I’m sure this ad made for […]

File under “We Democrats will bring fiscal responsibility and restraint back to Washington.” Congressional negotiators have added scores of new earmarks to a massive 3,565-page spending bill that lawmakers had only a few hours to review before an expected vote Monday evening.

I’m putting together an article on the top stories of 2007 and I was hoping that you could help me out by giving me some suggestions in the comments section…

On Sunday, Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney was driving to his home in Massachusetts when he first heard that the LDS Church allowed black people to take the priesthood in 1978. It was such a powerful moment that he pulled to the side of the road and wept. Romney recalled the scenario on NBC’s “Meet […]

Back in May of this year, I polled bloggers on a number of questions including, “Do you believe that the wall on the border will ever actually be completed?” How did it break down? 10% of them said “yes,” the fence will be completed and 90% of them said “no,” it wouldn’t be. Well, the […]

So when does this start happening inside of an American city? The Border Patrol says its agents were attacked nearly 1,000 times during a one-year period along the Mexican border, typically by assailants hurling rocks, bottles and bricks.

“When the chips are down I think democracy is a less important goal than is the protection of the planet from the death of life, the end of life on it. This has got to be imposed on people whether they like it or not.” — Mayer Hillman, senior fellow emeritus at the Policy Studies […]

It wasn’t that long ago that people were pointing out that Drudge and Hillary seemed to be thick as thieves. For example, in the New York Times, they wrote, Mrs. Clinton is learning to play nice with the Drudge Report and the powerful, elusive and conservative-leaning man behind it. …Though liberals say the site’s ideological […]

When it comes to dirty politics, you have to go all the way back to “Tricky Dick” Nixon to find someone as adept at as the Clintons. For example, take the “Obama cocaine” flap.

From Silent No More: I was 18 and a freshman at college when I got the test results. The nurse told me it was positive. Without any hesitation, I told her I wanted to schedule an abortion. She didn’t even blink an eye. There was nothing – no counseling, no cautions, nor any medical information […]

A few days ago, I said that Huckabee reminds me of Jimmy Carter: Jimmy Carter wore his folksy, unforgiving morality on his sleeve disguised as Christianity when it was just a method to intimidate people […]

Seems odd, in fact, it seems almost un-American, to see words like this: “If the Bush administration brings forward a free-trade agreement with Colombia, I hope Congress will agree with me and say ‘Hell No,’.” Well it might seem odd until you understand who said them – Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa. Hoffa followed those […]
