Last week, I said the following, “If this bill passes the Senate, I’m going to organize multiple Googlebombs that target every Republican in the Senate who is up for reelection in 2008 and votes for this amnesty bill. I’m going to find the worst, most damaging hit pieces on the entire world wide web and […]

“President Bush attacked opponents of an immigration deal Tuesday, suggesting they “don’t want to do what’s right for America.” — Associated Press

This is just the latest reminder of why we shouldn’t want 10% of a moderately hostile neighboring country residing within our borders as guest workers/Z Visa holders, “The Mexico audience at the Miss Universe competition was not kind to Miss USA Rachel Smith as they actually booed the Tennessee beauty. Hostess Vanessa Minillo finally had […]

Peter Suderman over at National Review mentioned me in a column on Ron Paul, “John Hawkins, who runs RightWingNews and is an adviser to Duncan Hunter, another Republican-primary candidate, recently told the antiwar American Conservative, “Ron Paul’s people spam these polls… Paul’s our Dennis Kucinich. He’s not a conservative. He’s a libertarian. He’s a kook, […]

You better sit down, because if you haven’t heard this before, it’ll knock the wind right out of you, “The federal government recorded a $1.3 trillion loss last year — far more than the official $248 billion deficit — when corporate-style accounting standards are used, a USA TODAY analysis shows. The loss reflects a continued […]

Democrats always complain when Republicans happen to mention the middle name of presidential candidate, B. Hussein Obama, but apparently they don’t have a problem with playing the same sort of name games with Bobby Jindal in Louisiana, “Mention the name “Bobby” in Louisiana political circles these days and most everyone will assume you are talking […]

Over at the Daily Kos, Cindy Sheehan has written a post called “Good Riddance Attention Whore,” in which she declares that she’s quitting the Democratic Party and the anti-war movement so she can go home. This is fun stuff, so let’s take a few paragraphs out of Sheehan’s piece and analyze them. First of all, […]

While I was on vacation, our mediocre leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, who happily (because we may have a chance to get rid of him) is up for reelection in 2008, had this to say about the Senate’s immigration bill, “I don’t think there’s a single member of either party next year who is […]

I’ve steadily praised Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.) since he became the Senate Republican leader (here, here and here). But news reports today have left me questioning McConnell’s leadership. McConnell told Bloomberg he will likely vote for the amnesty deal negotiated by Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D-Mass.) and the White House. (Hat tip to California Yankee at […]

Does anyone care about Rosie? No? Too bad, it was just announced she won’t be returning to The View after her on-air fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday. Ironically, close to a month ago — ever the bard — Rosie wrote this on her personal website Rosie.com: “On the view u have seen my last […]

I don’t expect that much from my elected officials. As a small-government conservative, I’m really just looking for our leaders to take care of the big things like defense and security. Turns out, our elected officials are too bogged down with important things like banning online poker (a pet peeve of mine despite the fact […]

Good news, everyone: there is no such thing as the War on Terror! Well, at least not according to John Edwards: “We need a post-Bush, post-9/11, post-Iraq military that is mission focused on protecting Americans from 21st century threats, not misused for discredited ideological purposes,” Edwards said in remarks prepared for delivery. “By framing this […]

As the Senate was voting on important amendments to the immigration bill yesterday, long-shot presidential candidate Sam Brownback was off on the campaign trail taking a “whirlwind tour of Iowa.” Brownback’s absence meant he could avoid a vote on stripping the bill of its amnesty section — the most contentious aspect of the legislation. Brownback’s […]

Rep. Eric Cantor has made his NO AMNESTY petition easy to embed on Right Wing News. John encouraged you to sign it yesterday. I’ll make the same plea today.

Rep. Eric Cantor has made the petition that John mentioned yesterday easy to embed. If you haven’t already signed it, please consider doing so.

It should come as no surprise that the Wall Street Journal editorial page favors a massive influx of low-skilled immigrants. The Journal’s pro-business mantra suits its readership. However, yesterday’s editorial attacking “restrictionists on the right” was not only misleading, it also failed to accurately critique a new study on the massive public burden these immigrants […]

What to do if you are having a hot, homosexual affair with an illegal alien? Presidential hopeful John Edwards could help you get amnesty for that steamy Latino lover of yours. It appears that Edwards, who has said before he was personally opposed to gay marriage, indicated on questionnaire from the Human Rights Campaign, would […]

The vote was 80-14: Courting the anti-war constituency, Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama both voted against legislation that pays for the Iraq war but lacks a timeline for troop withdrawal. “I fully support our troops” but the measure “fails to compel the president to give our troops a new strategy in […]
