This was a bit of a strange teleconference. Here we were in a meeting with Dennis Hastert, John Boehner, & Roy Blunt about Bush signing the fence bill today and yet, I was the only person to ask a question. I can only assume that there were technical problems that prevented anyone else from talking […]

Today, via the fine folks at One Jerusalem, I got to be in on a teleconference with Mark Steyn who is plugging his new book, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It (Incidentally, I just finished up the book I’ve been reading this morning and will be starting Steyn’s book tonight). […]

If you want to see what happens when multi-culturalism is taken to bizarre extremes check out this quote from the Democratic Underground: raccoon: “If Spanish became the dominant language in the US, so what? Spanish has the advantage over English in that it’s spelled phonetically. I believe in 30 years, Spanish will be the de […]

As most of you have certainly heard by now, out of control, liberal, activist judges in New Jersey have proclaimed that the Jersey legislature has to either implement civil unions or gay marriage: “New Jersey’s Supreme Court opened the door to gay marriage Wednesday, ruling that homosexuals are entitled to the same rights as heterosexuals, […]

From Tim Blair: Sheikh Feiz Muhammad last year told a Sydney audience that victims of sexual assault deserved to be raped: She has no one to blame but herself, for she has displayed her beauty to the whole world. Strapless, backless, sleeveless – they are nothing but satanical. Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali—Australia’s most super-dooper Sheik—has […]

If only they would have figured out that tigers are dangerous 5 minutes later: Animal rights activists who broke into a circus to liberate a rare white tiger changed their minds after seeing it – and took a bunny rabbit instead. Campaigners from the Swiss faction of the Animal Liberation Front had earlier told Circus […]

From MSNBC: The 2006 campaign is about to be “Google-bombed.” Both liberal and conservative bloggers have embarked on plans to manipulate the Google search engine so that negative articles about the candidates they oppose appear near the top, potentially influencing undecided voters. …Conservative blogger John Hawkins of Right Wing News learned of the strategy and […]

We would be quickly told by the holy ones of the Left that it was a racial slur implying that Indians cannot handle time well if a conservative had used the term “injun time” to excuse being late. Democratic U.S. House candidate Steve Kagen apologized Monday for commenting that he was late for a meeting […]

Domestic Out Of Control Activist Judges In New Jersey Give Lawmakers 180 Days To Rewrite Marriage Laws To Either Include Same-Sex Couples Or Create A New System Of Civil Unions For Them (Outrageous!) James Dobson Slams N.J. Court Ruling George Bush: “I Know Many Americans Are Not Satisfied With The Situation” There. I’m Not Satisfied […]

In Iraq, the violence has continued, militias have been steadily gaining power, and the fledgling government still seems unsteady. Moreover, the political will to continue the conflict in Washington, outside of the White House at least, seems to be starting to ebb. Resolute though George Bush may be, with the Democrats gaining more power, cracks […]

On Tuesday of next week, the GOP is going to take a beating. The only question at this point is how bad of a beating it’s going to be. Even though we have less than a week to go before the election, it is — at least to a certain point– an unanswerable question because […]

These are my favorite (based simply on which ones I personally enjoyed the most) political/online ads of the 2006 cycle: Honorable Mentions Mark Kennedy: About Mark (A “meet the candidate” ad) George Allen: Webb’s attacks on Women (This hurt Webb) Stop Shuler: Stop Shuler — A Better Day (This is a funny joke ad) Top […]

From the Washington Times: “Senate Republicans with enormous campaign war chests are refusing to transfer significant amounts of money to help fellow Republicans who are cash-strapped and face defeat in the final weeks of the campaign. The stinginess alarms some of the Republican Party’s top campaign strategists, especially because it is in such stark contrast […]

In the Senate, things have improved a bit for the GOP, although they’re still looking grim overall. It looks as if Lincoln Chafee, Rick Santorum, and Mike DeWine are toast. Conrad Burns is still behind, but appears to have some momentum and if enough undecided voters break his way, which is possible in a conservative […]

You Hot Soup Conservative Forum, which I created, — here. What do you think of the Hot Soup website so far? Also, on a side note, if I were to create a forum for Right Wing News, would you be interested in participating? Do you think a lot of people would use it?

Hilariously, there are liberals claiming that this devastating and clever attack ad is racist. When I first heard that, to be completely honest with you, I had no idea what the “racist” part of the ad was even supposed to be. So, let’s try a little experiment. Watch this lethal broadside against Harold Ford and […]

Foreign American Officials Unveiled A Timeline Tuesday For Iraq’s Shiite-Led Government To Take Specific Steps To Calm The World’s Most Dangerous Capital And Said More U.S. Troops Might Be Needed To Quell The Bloodshed Marine Gen.

A lot of people have been talking about the Michael J. Fox ad. To tell you the truth, it’s really a pitiful ad all the way around. To begin with, what Ann Coulter said about people like the Jersey Girls, Cindy Sheehan, and Max Cleland in her book Godless is every bit as applicable to […]

Last night, I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about illegal immigration and he asked a question that you’re going to hear from more people as time goes on. That question was: if illegal immigration is such a big issue, why are Republicans in the House taking such a beating this year […]

As an experiment, I thought it might be fun to shorten Cindy Sheehan’s latest column, cut it down from 1340 to 169 words. …puppet government of Iraq…Vietnam…Nixon’s “Vietnamization” program….warmonger Kissinger…even though my own son was killed in Iraq…death-drums pounding for Iran…Nixon’s invasion of Cambodia……War Machine…busy laundering the blood…National Bank of Lost Hopes and Dreams…Robert McNamara….BushCo…My […]

On Thursday of this week, I’m planning to do a list of the best Republican campaign commercials of 2006 and I’m hoping that I can get some suggestions in the comments section to make sure that I don’t miss any great ads. All the ads do need to be videos (no radio spots will be […]

“The gavel of the speaker of the House is in the hands of special interests, and now it will be in the hands of America’s children.” — Nancy Pelosi

With polls showing Republicans could lose control of Congress after the November elections, Capitol Hill physicians have been swamped with Democrats reporting symptoms of optimism, a condition almost unknown among their people. Eli Lilly, the maker of the anti-depressant drug Prozac, annouced today that sales in the Washington D.C. region have plunged in the weeks […]

Last night, I learned that Chris Bowers over at MyDD has been organizing a Googlebomb campaign for the 2006 election. Now normally, I think Googlebombs are kind of dumb. One of the most famous Googlebombs involved making George Bush’s name come up under the words “miserable failure.” My reaction to that was, “Cute, but so […]

It’s time to reevaluate the Senate races again for next to last time before the election. The higher the rating is, the greater the chance is that the seat might change parties. Dark Horse Races: (These are real long shot races) 15) Mark Kennedy (R) vs. Amy Klobuchar (D) (Dem Seat) 14) Maria Cantwell* (D) […]

The Democratic Party is running an online, matching pledge drive. Basically, you put in an amount you’d like to give and then once someone else agrees to match it, you both give at the same time. Granted, it’s kind of a Mickey Mouse idea. I mean you’ll only give $25 if someone else writes into […]

Here’s an email I received this week-end: not sure if you’re having a Q&A this friday, but here’s a question for you: in the 2004 elections, was anybody predicting that the GOP would pick up seats in Congress (as well as win the White House)? there seems to be alot of doom-and-gloom on the right […]

You want to see the sort of Islamic extremism that Muslims are exposed to in the Middle-East regularly? Well, then check out a few excerpt from an article in the New York Sun on Bridges TV: One religious figure who appeared October 3 said Muslims have a duty to change America and to increase their […]
