Rick Larsen = Nancy Pelosi
by kennethwilliamklein, 09:19 PM, 0 Comments
Our 2nd District congressman has voted lockstep in line with Nancy Pelosi since he got to Washington D.C. San Francisco values are not 2nd Congressional District values. The next campaign needs to hammer home the point that a vote for Rick Larsen is a vote for Nancy Pelosi because they are essentially the same person! -Ken... [read more]

Senate vote on Thune Amendment highlights lack of accountability from Senators Murray and Cantwell
by 6p0120a642cb17970c, 11:31 PM, 0 Comments
Eleven weeks ago our Senators voted on the Thune Amendment, and they apparently chose party ideology over the interests and expressed desires of their constituents, as well as long-standing state law. In 1961 Washington became the original "shall-issue" state requiring law enforcement personnel to issue a concealed carry of a weapon (CCW) permit to any qualified citizen (RCW 9.41.070) on demand. In the forty-eight years since, thirty-eight (38) other states have similarly followed, and with significantly greater decreases in violent... [read more]

Foxnews.com has this story: CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- If we don't deal with climate change decisively, "what we're talking about then is extended world war," the eminent economist said. "Somehow we have to explain to people just how worrying that is," the British economic thinker said. His audience Saturday, small and elite, had been stranded here by bad weather and were talking climate. They couldn't do much about the one, but the other was squarely in their hands. And...

Feed Them to Make Them Dependent

It's certainly not in the Constitution. People have a responsibility to provide food for themselves and their families, they don't have a right to food. There can be charity for the truly disabled, but that's not what we are talking about. The last thing in the... [read more]

by thesenator2012, 09:15 AM, 0 Comments
As confirmed by Politico.com's Ben Smith in his corroboration of the story that broke on the Drudge Report last night, the Obama campaign did indeed bump three major newspapers from the press group traveling aboard the candidate's plane. Although press accounts are not specific, it is assumed that their removal was conducted while the plane was still on the ground. The Obama campaign indicated that they will try to find seats on campaign buses for the disenfranchised Dallas Morning... [read more]

Maybe that's why the Los Angeles Times' refusal to release the infamous and enigmatic Khalidi... [read more]

REALITY CHECK: GREED

Liberals like to call the Bush years the Decade of Greed. By their thinking, people getting educated and working to achieve the American Dream makes them greedy if they choose to use their wealth to improve their lives and the lives of their children and family. Generally the result of education, hard work, and taking risks, the opportunity to earn more is the incentive that grows business, creates jobs, generates more taxes, and helps our economy grow.

by thesenator2012, 10:44 AM, 1 Comments
Because of my insistence on removing the influence of television from my home, I had the serendipitous fortune to watch it on CNN.com. After the debate had ended, the candidates wives came out into the speaking arena and the tension between the two was electric and visible. Even though Senator McCain and Senator Obama politely shook hands and chatted for a moment, Michelle Obama or Cindy McCain appeared to deliberately avoid making any such appearance of civility. They actually walked... [read more]

Is the McCain Campaign Now Playing With Fire?
by thesenator2012, 12:59 PM, 2 Comments
Even if you believe only one of the candidates running for president, it is clear that at least one pair of pants is on fire."Liar! liar!" has been both the chorus and refrain from Senator Obama's camp running all the way back to his snatching of the nomination from the jaws of Hillary Clinton. As desperation set in, the McCain-Palin ticket has finally caught on that their straight talk rhetoric begs for straight walk follow-through. McCain has launched an attack... [read more]

Obama resurrects a lie to attack McCain
by mjc3389, 11:32 AM, 1 Comments
John McCain was named decades ago in 1989 as one of the Keating Five. The Keating case involved US senators who were accused of abusing their authority by interfering with government regulators investigating Charles Keating, chairman of Lincoln Savings and Loan. Yes, part of the Savings and Loan scandal. Sounds pretty awful doesn't it? And John McCain was the only Republican in the scandal, along with 4 Democrats, including John Glenn. So today, Barack Obama is revisiting the Keating Five... [read more]

The Palin Pick: Cutting Through the Spin
by Eukardios, 11:33 AM, 11 Comments
One day after the announcement of John McCain's running mate, the pundit class has already begun to spin the choice of Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, in a way that's favorable to Barak Obama. In doing so, they've made a number of claims about McCain's motives that I think are simply untrue. Lets take a look at some of them: 1.

Congress' Use of our Intelligence Assests
by TrueSoldier, 01:37 AM, 0 Comments
NRO has the story that Congressional Democrats have decided to use some intelligence assets to write up estimates about global warming. You would think that after 9/11 that we would have learned from our intelligence failures and work harder on ensuring that our intelligence agents are used to track real threats to our nation, like terrorists, but once again the powers that be in Congress have decided that they will live in a 9/10 world instead and forget about reality....

Obama "Not corrupt like the rest of Chicago Politicians".

On the lighter side, I thought this newspaper article was pretty funny: http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/1025587,CST-NWS-obamaforweb26.article "There is no doubt I had friends and continue to have friends who come out of the more traditional school of Chicago politics but that's not what launched my political career and that's not what I've ever depended on to get elected, and I would challenge any Chicago reporter to dispute that basic fact."

Happier than your liberal friends? Here's why.
by JeffB., 01:36 PM, 3 Comments
Check out this new study in Scientific American that shows why conservatives are happier than liberals. The study rightly points out that conservatives tend to see inequity as due to differences in the meritocracy. In other words, the harder you work and achieve, the more you get. Whereas progressives tend to see inequity as an inherently unjust system. Unchangeable. And thus, the world is out to get them and they are helpless and at its mercy. But there are two... [read more]

Yet many of his comments and positions seem stunningly naive about national security. Given that this man may become our next president, shouldn't he explain how he'd do the many impressive things he's promised?

Support Veterans Benefits Enhancements, but don't fund by shortcutting other Veterans Yesterday, the US Senate passed S. 1315, Veterans Benefits Enhancement Act of 2007. The American Legion is very supportive of each of these provisions; however, The American Legion is adamantly opposed to how Congress plans to pay for these enhanced benefits under the current PAYGO rules - by repealing Hartness v.

The Nevada State GOP this weekend held its nominating convetion for president. The state leadership expected the convention delegates to rubber stamp the pre-chosen slate of delegates for the national convention. By a vote of over 700-400 the delegates said heck no! The state leadership seeing that they were not going to be able to ram through their pre chosen McCain delegates then chose to screw over all the delegates by calling for recess denying the delegates a chance to...

Democrats Obama Dilemma
by warrenpeterson, 01:28 PM, 6 Comments
Before the Rev. Jeremiah Wright brouhaha, Barack Obama was not a black man. He was the new JFK. Unlike Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, he transcended race. He won an upset victory in mostly white Iowa. His mother was white but his father was born and raised in Kenya. Yet because he was not the product of over 200 years of African-American slavery, those who could trace their ancestry to the plantation did not embrace him. Then came the exposé... [read more]

Pennsylvania Road Kill? Which one leaves embittered?

This from TownHall.com's Suzanne Fields: Hillary Clinton has been left for dead by most of the pundits, many of whom more or less openly yearn for consummation of their passionate love affair with Barack Obama. These pundits look to each other for constant reassurance. They didn't get it Tuesday night in Pennsylvania. Hillary may indeed be doomed, but her question, asked even before her remarkable Pennsylvania victory, haunts Democrats from coast to coast: "Why can't he close the deal?... [read more]

Question for Democrats: Why have superdelegates?
by TrueSoldier, 06:47 AM, 4 Comments
Here is a question to all the Democrat voters out there: Why have Superdelegates? It appears to me that the entire Primary process is riding on these superdelegate votes seeing as neither Sen. Obama or Sen. Clinton looks to be able to secure the nomination with just the remaining Primary contests. Sure Sen. Obama is in the lead, but I am sure that Sen. Clinton is still working behind the scenes to ensure the Florida and Michigan Delgates are seated... [read more]

US Presidential Debate In Iraq During 2008

I have been thinking about the upcoming Presidential debates and I have come up with the following idea. I propose that there be a Presidential debate in Iraq with the troops asking the questions. After all the President is the Comander in Chief of all the Armed Forces, so would it not make sense that the troops get to ask questions of the two people most likely to become their new boss?

~ by ThoughtRogue ~ What in the heck were the good people of New Hampshire thinking the other night when they cast the plurality of their votes for John "The Maverick" McCain - or were they thinking at all? Isn't it eminently clear that John McCain has staked the success of his 2008 presidential bid on the ignorance and short memories of the electorate?? The liberal media, who have long dallied with him in an on-again-off-again love affair, have endowed... [read more]

Democrat Raid of GOP Primary in Michigan
by Brent.Boger, 10:39 AM, 6 Comments
Left-wing blogger, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, has asked his readers to help with a raid of the Michigan Primary and vote for Mitt Romney to draw out the Republican presidential race to weaken GOP chances in the general. (See postings on January 10th and 11th at www.dailykos.com). He uses two examples in 1972 and 1988 where Michigan Republicans supposedly did the same to Democrats to weaken them in their nomination contest. Neither happened the way he said. In 1972, George Wallace... [read more]

Dem Pres Candidate calls for a recount in NH.
by TrueSoldier, 05:33 AM, 8 Comments
According to Foxnews.com, Dennis Kucinich has called on NH for a recount of the ballots: Democrat Dennis Kucinich, who won less than 2 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire primary, on Thursday called for a recount to ensure that all ballots in his party's contest were counted. He cites "serious and credible reports, allegations and rumors" about the integrity of Tuesday results. Kucinich alluded to online reports alleging disparities around the state between hand-counted ballots, which tended to... [read more]

Boy, was I off: New Hampshire predictions
by Cydney, 12:37 PM, 1 Comments
So I was pretty off on the Democrats' side of things. I am honestly surprised that not only did Obama not win, but that Hillary beat Obama by about three percent. Talk about a shocker. On the GOP side, McCain finished first with 37.19% of the vote (96.01% of precincts reporting), Romney with 31.62%, and Huckabee in third with 11.16% of the vote. I closely predicted the placements of the GOP candidates, so that wasn't so bad. Gov. Huckabee finishing... [read more]

McCain's irrational hatred of Boeing
by Seabecker, 04:18 PM, 1 Comments
Seattle's local press, talk shows and blogs have reported many things about John McCain. One item they are not covering, however, is his total revulsion and loathing of The Boeing Company. He would rather see our military use airplanes made by the French than allow the Pentagon to buy one more plane from Boeing. The 767 vs Airbus A330 tanker, and his refusal to consider new C-17s are two great examples. Granted, "Boeing" had not been the best corporate citizen... [read more]

Fox News Debate tonight: lame.

So I just finished watching the Fox News forum tonight. This debate was also held at St. Anselm College as was last night's debate. In one word, my response: Lame. Overall, the debate was rather boring. Romney was on the attack and was quite the smooth talker tonight--he was confident and slightly rude at times. Romney had to make a comeback from his miserable night last night; if Romney shot himself in the foot last night, then he must have... [read more]

The ABC/Facebook 2 Parties 1 Night debate took place tonight at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire. In one word, I'd call the debate "interesting". The GOP candidates came out first, sitting in a sort of semi-circle with what I would call half-sized podiums in front of them. Charlie Gibson moderated (as much as he could), and was later joined by the political director from the news station WMUR in New Hampshire. There were two 45-minute segments for each... [read more]

So much for the "monolithic women vote." Hillary Rodham counted on it. And, since it does not exist, it did not come through for her in Iowa. In fact, it appears that both John Edwards and Barrack Obama outpolled the nation's leading gender feminist among Democratic women in Iowa. And these were DEMOCRATS. Translate that result to an entire country that includes a majority of independents and Republicans, and the outlook for the "we are women" strategy of Hillary Rodham... [read more]

Democrat candidate Barack Obama also won the Democratic side with a lead of eight percentage points ahead of John Edwards, and nine percent ahead of Hillary Clinton, who came in a rather dismal third place.

I don't like this one bit. And I didn't hear about it anywhere but in Michelle Malkin's blog.

Nicole Brodeur needs to read the Bill or Rights a little closer
by WarmFuzzyPuppies, 09:21 AM, 4 Comments
Nicole Brodeur has a column in today's Times entitled "Mistake or not, it's censorship." It deals with AT&T's mistaken "bleeping" of a portion of a Pearl Jam performance earlier this week in which he sang "George Bush, leave this world alone." "George Bush, find yourself another home." So yes, I agree, this is corporate censorship (apparently a mistake of overzealous screeners) and something that AT&T should apologize for. Whether we agree with Eddie Vedder or not he still has the... [read more]

Here's your assignment ... Ask your nearest teenager, "How easy is it to get your preferred, illicit drug of choice?" If the answer is "way easy" (say, less than 30 minutes) then next ask yourself how's that multi-billion dollar "War on Drugs" working for you?

Just what is a Neo-Con?? - A great question, indeed. I do not use the term here lightly, or indiscriminately. I won't attempt here to go into the full etymology of the term, but I can tell you a book titled Neo-Conservatism was published about a decade ago, and its author Irving Kristol is widely deemed the Godfather of the gang. I must admit its meaning was quite fuzzy to me, a true Conservative, until the November 2006 election debacle,... [read more]

Noxious Emissions Gouging and Other Economic Fallacies By Jefferson Paine In the wake of gasoline prices increasing across the country, a growing legion of supposedly "Gouged" victims have been bellowing hot, noxious fumes of late. With worldwide demand for petroleum surging ever higher, why wouldn't we expect this to put pressure on price increases at the pump? Furthermore, natural disasters, government restrictions, geo-political uncertainty, and oil cartels have all driven the global price for crude oil to new record-highs. Consequently,... [read more]

by gschroe, 01:42 AM, 0 Comments
Just a few of my thoughts on the Joe Lieberman campaign. I don't necessarily agree with most of Joe's liberal voting tendencies, but he has been a stanch allied defender with George Bush against the terrorism that surrounds our country. I think he has shown a lot of courage to step into the Independent arena and keep his campaign alive. And as of today on Realclearpolitics.com, Joe holds a 5.3% advantage in the polls. Enough of an advantage that Hillary... [read more]

by lightningSVT, 06:59 PM, 7 Comments
Might as well seal the deal on this race...Reichert has solidified his base and has plenty of crossover. I cant help but enjoy the flatullence being posted by Owngoalstein though!

Where Have All The Conservatives Gone?
by JeffersonPaine, 10:03 PM, 4 Comments
Seriously. Can anyone reveal what has happened to conservatism in this country? Are there any REAL Conservatives left who can make a difference? Or are we all really captives on this runaway train toward socialism / totalitarianism? What is a real Conservative, anyway?... [read more]
Why John McCain Should Not Be President
by ERNurse, 07:48 PM, 4 Comments
From the personal blog of ERNurse: John McCain is reportedly solidifying his base for a run for the Presidency in 2008. On the face of it, McCain has everything one could need for a decent shot at it. He's got the war record that John Kerry wishes he had (and tried to convince us that he did). He's got the money and he's got the notoriety. He's surrounded himself with influential friends. He's surrounded himself with press. Yes, it seems... [read more]
Reichert's Challenge
by patrickb1, 11:48 AM, 4 Comments
::Crossposted at Red State. Is The Sheriff in Trouble? Aside from disseminating cleverly worded DCCC press releases and asking liberal Seattleites to open their checkbooks, Congressman Dave Reichert's challenger, Darcy Burner, is mainly banking on anti-Bush sentiment to secure victory for her party at the ballot box. The way local bloggers and media tell it, Reichert is as vulnerable as they come. But if you buy into the Democrats version reality, you will be disappointed come November. To arrive at...

Soldiers caught in the crossfire of partisan politics
by lonniebhodge, 01:33 AM, 1 Comments
Some things never change. This issue took me right back to my days as an undergrad' at WWSC: On Nov. 16, 2005, Senator Dick Durbin took the Senate floor to attack Senator Ted Stevens for allegedly permitting oil company executives to lie to the Senate Commerce Committee by not putting them under oath. Stevens, outraged by this assault on his integrity, demanded an apology in keeping with Senate rules prohibiting attacks on unworthy behavior. Durbin refused and the battle had... [read more]

BP is Irresponsible
by Drewski2112, 12:13 AM, 1 Comments
The incompetent company that is known as British Petroleum just made another bump in the road on the oil drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge debate. Due the the accident in Prudhoe Bay, Maria Cant-do-anything-well has most likely gained some political points due to her stance on the issue. Lets recap on some of BP's previous accidents. In July 2005 some of you may remember the refinery explosion that took the lives of 15 people and injuring 170 others.... [read more]

Orwell's Dark Vision Looms
by JeffersonPaine, 12:10 PM, 14 Comments
There's only one thing more disturbing than the roughly one-half of the American population afflicted by Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) - the other half which seems robotically blinded by Neo-conservatism (which isn't Conservatism at all). Can anyone explain how the transformation of our nation's airports into gleaming monuments to coercion, administered by the government's new Ministry of Safety, is not completely Orwellian - if not completely insane? Let's get this straight - every time a terrorist plot by Young Islamic... [read more]

by MicheleDeRouis, 12:15 PM, 8 Comments
Wealthy far-left Democrat senatorial candidate Ned Lamont---challenger to U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman in Connecticut's upcoming primary, and outspoken critic of Wal-Mart---owns Wal-Mart stock, reports the Washington Times. Despite being sharply critical of Wal-Mart's employment practices and policies, it turns out that between Lamont, his wife and a child of theirs that the family owns up to $31,000 of the retailer's stock and enjoy a healthy annual dividend from the shares. Lamont has been engaged with Lieberman in at times what... [read more]
Hannity Freedom Concert - West Coast

I just got back last night from San Diego where I attended the Hannity Freedom Concert and I must tell you that it was a tremendous experience. I think I can speak for everyone who went to the concert from the KVI contest when I say that we all would like to give Kirby WIlbur a special thanks for having the contest and being a gracious host and to his Promotions Assistant, Katie Grimes, for all the coordinating she did...

Progressive; Hypocrisy is thy middle name
by JeffB., 12:31 PM, 4 Comments
I don't understand the hatred of CEOs that has become popular in today's culture. If a CEO has drastically increased the value of a company, why shouldn't they be well compensated? And if they are smart and savvy and able to demand an upfront contract at the beginning of their employment which gives them a sweet deal upon termination, well that's just their market value and good negotiating. The leadership which McGavick provided increased shareholder value of SAFECO by orders... [read more]

Conservative Bloggers Unveil Rightroots

Rightroots: The Republican Answer To The Lefty Blogosphere's Netroots Endorsed Candidates As you all probably know, the left-side of the blogosphere has endorsed a slate of Democratic candidates and as of last night about 11:59 PM, the "netroots" had managed to already raise $386,968.31 for them. Time and time again, Republicans have asked, "Gee, why can't someone on our side do the same thing for us?" In fact, I was asking myself that question a little less than 3 weeks... [read more]

Republican's "martial law" - feudal lords
by ccwt, 10:42 PM, 0 Comments
When Republicans wonder why some of the flock bolt for the Libertarian Party, they need look no further when Congress behaves like feudal lords. The Republican controlled committees may be using a new "martial law" rule to ram through legislation, with no time for representatives to consider, before the vote. If the incumbent Republicans were honorable they would vote to reject ANY legislation submitted for consideration under "martial law" procedures. Sadly, I have little confidence that the incumbent R's will... [read more]

Republican Minimum Wage Plan
by matpruitt, 12:19 PM, 8 Comments
Outgoing centrist Republican Congressman Sherry Boehlert believes that the House leadership will offer a plan that ties a hike in the minimum wage to association health plans (AHP). If this is true, I say bully for House Republican leaders. My support for a minimum wage hike is somewhat selfish. The truth is that raising the mandated Federal wage floor is good for states like Washington where the mimimum wage is higher than what Congress requires. This will also be a... [read more]
