The rankings in parentheses are based on the net score of each candidate in the latest blogger poll. #1) Fred Thompson (80.5): Fred Thompson is generating enormous grassroots enthusiasm on the right, which is a pretty good trick given that conservatives in general seem to be dispirited and angry. In other words, Fred is the […]

Last Friday, I wrote a column that slammed the Daily Kos, among other things, for being virulently anti-military and what do you know, a soldier in uniform was shouted down at the Daily Kos convention this week-end for pointing out that the surge is working (but, but, but….I thought that they supported the troops?). Now, […]

Over at the Boston Globe, they’re actually pimping, “Poems from Guantánamo: The Detainees Speak,” a book of poetry by the terrorists who’re locked up at Gitmo. After painting these guys as innocent victims, the Boston Globe posted poems like this, Take my blood. Take my death shroud and The remnants of my body. Take photographs […]

Sounds like a quagmire to me, US forces said they had killed the top Al Qaida leader in Salahuddin province, Haitham Al Badri, whom they blamed for a pivotal 2006 attack on a Shi’ite shrine in the city of Samarra that was a turning point in the country’s sectarian conflict. They also said a week-long […]

“I wouldn’t want to be a senator or congressman. I’m able to influence politics much more effectively doing what I do. Now I can shape the national political debate. The only way I could exert more influence would be if I were president. But I’d never want that guy’s job. Never.” — Markos Moulitsas Zuniga […]

Here’s part of what I said about the Minneapolis bridge disaster yesterday, “Of course, given that it’s August — which is a s-l-o-w news month — and given the ideological leanings of the mainstream media, I’m sure we’ll soon find out that a Republican is responsible for this whole catastrophe. Either Governor Tim Pawlenty will […]

We might as well take $30 billion and drop it into a live volcano as waste it on this ridiculous anti-poverty program Bono is pushing, The Republican National Committee yesterday took the first step toward endorsing a proposal by Irish rock star Bono to spend an estimated $30 billion in U.S. taxes to eliminate global […]

This would be almost funny if half the things in my house weren’t cheap trinkets from China that I bought at Wal-Mart (emphasis mine), “In the face of a growing crisis of confidence in Chinese goods, Bo Xilai, commerce minister, said that “over 99 per cent of China’s export products are good and safe”. In […]

I’ll buy into this when I see Jim DeMint, Tom Coburn, or Jeff Sessions sign on to it, “Republican presidential hopeful John McCain on Thursday backed a scaled-down proposal that imposes strict rules to end illegal immigration but doesn’t include a path to citizenship. The move away from a comprehensive measure is an about-face for […]

President Bush calls the Democrat-controlled congress out on their spending gone wild. Congress’ “budget calls for nearly $22 billion more in discretionary spending next year alone. … Yesterday one called this increase — and I quote — ‘a very small difference’ from what I proposed. Only in Washington can $22 billion be called a very […]

Technically, it was a teleconference with Jim DeMint & Tom Coburn. Coburn was on the call, but he hardly said anything and had to leave early. So, this was pretty much Jim DeMint’s show. I got in maybe a minute late, so I believe I just caught the tail end of DeMint’s opening statement which […]

Today, via doubleplusundead & Hot Air we get to look at the ultimate culmination of the Left’s hatred of America: a liberal blogger wishing and fantasizing that the British had won the Revolutionary War. From a post called “Was the American Revolution Bad for America?” at Alterdestiny, “I have been thinking about some of the […]

As I am sure all of you have heard, a bridge in Minneapolis has collapsed. Of course, given that it’s August — which is a s-l-o-w news month — and given the ideological leanings of the mainstream media, I’m sure we’ll soon find out that a Republican is responsible for this whole catastrophe. Either Governor […]

Judges below the Supreme Court level don’t get that much attention and so it wouldn’t be a surprise if you haven’t heard the name Leslie Southwick. Southwick is a judge who was first nominated more than a year ago, in June 2006. He’s eminently qualified for the position he’s up for on the 5th Circuit […]

You’ve got to be kidding. When Spec. Pat Tillman was killed, here is how liberals reacted: Saying comments about the death of Pat Tillman had become “disruptive,” an anti-globalist website linked to Teresa Heinz Kerry has removed a hate-filled thread assaulting the memory of the ex-NFL player who became an Army Ranger. The Portland, Ore., […]

Almost 6 years after Bush read a story about a little girl to his pet goat, New York has once again fallen victim to an unspeakable act of terror. This time, the dark forces of hate and intolerance have struck the quiet campus of Pace University, where a paperback copy of the Holy Quran was […]

Let’s face it. The Hill’s list of the top 50 Most Beautiful People just wasn’t that good this year and skewed heavily Democratic. I tried to make a list of the top ten best looking Republicans on the Hill and came up short. John asked me repeatedly to put in one rightwinger in booty shorts […]

If you’re wondering why I had guest bloggers for the last couple of days, it was because my time with the Duncan Hunter campaign was winding down and I wanted to take a little extra time to get the loose ends sewed up before I left. Also, it’s worth noting that it was a friendly, […]

If you look into Hillary Clinton’s religion, you will find article after article after article describing her as a “lifelong Methodist.” For example, from CBNnews, “Senator Clinton is a lifelong Methodist who has always said she takes her faith very seriously.” From ABPnews, “Clinton, a lifelong Methodist, has become more open in recent years about […]

All throughout this campaign season….scratch that….since Reagan left office, conservatives have been looking for the next Reagan. Every presidential candidate is compared to Reagan and if you listen to them, they’ll explain to you why they have more in common with Ronald Reagan than any of the other candidates. However, great Presidents like Ronald Reagan […]

The Democrats have been working to undercut the war in Iraq for months with one goal: getting enough blue state Republicans to go along with them in September of this year to put a timeline on the war. The idea was supposed to be that David Petraeus would come in, give a talk to Congress, […]

From USA Today, “A U.S. plan to expand fences along the Mexican border to stem illegal immigration is an insult to all Latin Americans, Argentine President Nestor Kirchner said Tuesday during a visit to Mexico. “It’s not just an insult to our sister nation of Mexico, but to all the nations of Latin America and […]
