Fiscal responsibility? Moratorium on earmarks huh??? The Presidential candidates promise change? What makes them think they can do anything about. Seems like a pipe dream to me. More hypocrisy from Washington…
Democratic leaders have sent tens of millions of dollars to freshman lawmakers’ districts in hope of protecting the party’s newfound majority [...]

Now if you read H.R. 2082 it does not say that waterboarding (a type of physical interrogation that some have said is torture) is banned. But what it does say is that only the interrogation techniques contained in the Army Field Manual are authorized for use. Waterboarding is not in that manual. [...]

Billy stepped into some huge cow pies when he brought the idea of race into the campaign fray. Subsequently Billy got his butt kicked by fellow dems for his remarks. So in order to keep the race issue alive his cronies have picked up the mantra:

Both Saturday night and last night, it was striking to me, that Hillary Clinton failed to congratulate Barack Obama after he won the day in a landslide. She did mention his name only in the context of chiding Obama’s health care plan.
“Concession speeches” are required as part of the unwritten code during campaign season. It [...]

One thing that bothers about John McCain is his ties to left-wing groups like George Soros. In 2001 McCain started a group called the Reform Institute and accepted contributions George Soros’ Open Society Institute and Teresa Heinz Kerry’s Tides Foundation and others.

Baring any implosion in his campaign, John McCain will be the Republican nominee. Now what remains to be seen is whether or not the hot rhetoric surrounding his “not conservative enough” stance will chill out. But waiting in the wings is this plea for help from the Democratic National Committee:
