MoveOn Targets Pro-Surge Democrat

There are enough of these incidents now that I’ve actually created a “blue-on-blue” category to keep up with them all, Rep.

On Wednesday, liberal group MoveOn.org announced an ad campaign against the congressman in his own district. […]

 

GOP Straw Poll Analysis

The GOP Straw Polls are my favorite online polls because of the cross tabs, the wide cross section of conservative blogs that participate, and because they allow people to pick their top choices and their “acceptable choices.” Here’s a breakdown of the results of the latest poll, First Choice Gilmore (0.1%) Brownback (1%) McCain (1.4%) […]

If you want to see how simultaneously overreaching and simultaneously toothless our campaign finance laws are, this article does a good job of showing you, The Federal Election Commission has fined one of the last cycle’s biggest liberal political action committees $775,000 for using unregulated soft money to boost John Kerry and other Democratic candidates […]

Amazingly, Larry Craig’s arrest has prompted more than a few people to come out and imply or outright say that you should be able to legally use public bathrooms like a gay pick-up bar. For example, here’s Garance Franke-Ruta A lot of people are asking, “Is solicitation a crime?” That is: Was there anything criminal […]

 


The Democratic Underground Thread Of The Day: Why Do People Join The Military?

Over at the Democratic Underground Forums, there’s a thread asking, “Why are people still joining the military?” Now, not every response ripped on the troops, but I think you’ll find that there were several responses that confirm the worst stereotypes about liberal attitudes towards the military. For example, here’s why some of the libs at […]

Larry Craig’s Comfort Room Cruising

Every time I read about a Republican politician like David Vitter, Mark Foley, Jack Ryan, & now Larry Craig letting his libido endanger his career, I just scratch my head.
