Constant conflict is actually often good politics, because the more you can inflame your supporters, the more likely they are to show up at Election Day," Clinton told the National Community Pharmacists Association convention Orlando, Fla., on Monday, CNN reported. "And if they're more inflamed than the other side, even if the other side has more people agreeing with it, you'll win because your crowd will show up."

Democrat Hannah-Beth Jackson told them, “I appreciate that some independent contractors are upset… AB5 took away their lollipop.” She thinks their jobs are “lollipops”?

We should expect more of this dangerous behavior from the unhinged mob on the left Many years ago, Democrats were known for their staunch support of peaceful protests and our First Amendment rights guaranteeing free speech. Today, party activists have become intolerant, hateful and, in too many cases, violent. It seems that almost every week a Trump administration official or supporter is being badgered by leftist protesters. It happened to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at a restaurant and at her home. Both Senior White House Policy Advisor Stephen Miller and former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt were recently harassed at...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rep. John Lewis used his Thursday convention speech to argue that a GOP victory in November will send African-Americans back to the early 1960s, when he and other Africans-Americans were forcibly denied access to restaurants, public transportation and the ballot box. “I’ve seen this before, I lived this before,” he claimed, after extensively describing his activism in Southern states in the 1950 and 1960s. “We were met by an angry mob that beat us and left us lying in a pool of blood,” he said to raucous applause from roughly 20,000 delegates and activists. “Brothers and sisters,...

Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 05/10/2007 Pelosi: ‘Benchmarks Without Consequences and Enforcement are Meaningless’ Washington, D.C. -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today in response to President Bush’s remarks on the war in Iraq, in which he said he would accept benchmarks: “The President has long said he supports benchmarks; what he fails to accept is accountability for failing to meet those benchmarks. Benchmarks without consequences and enforcement are meaningless, a blank check. The American people, retired military commanders, and a growing bipartisan majority in both the House and the Senate reject giving...

Congress: Having gone back to the drawing board, the best the Democrats can offer is to fund the war in Iraq for two months. If President Bush is presented with such a bill, he should veto it like he did the last one. It's possible that Democrats in the House are so blinded by their hatred of the president that they don't realize the deep damage they're doing to the country. If they get their way, America will lose a war. This is simply unconscionable. The Senate's own sorry counterpart to the House's bill of surrender would force the U.S....

Without acknowledging his comments yesterday when he said the "war is lost," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said President Bush and his allies "attacked those of us with courage to ask the tough questions and tell the truth about Iraq." He described their criticism of him and other Democrats as "an effort to shift attention from this Administration's failed policies" in Iraq. In a remarks on the Senate floor after Bush's speech today, Reid did not repeat the "war is lost" comments. Instead, he said that "the longer we continue down the president's path the further we will be from...

WASHINGTON - David Wilhelm once drew hisses when he suggested that Christians could be Republicans or Democrats. Years later, Wilhelm is spreading that message again, and he's hoping for a better response this time. With a leading poll showing only one in four Americans viewing the Democratic Party as friendly to religion, Wilhelm and a broad-based group of Christian Democratic activists are starting an Internet effort to organize religious voters whose views might be compatible with Democrats. The site, http://www.FaithfulDemocrats.com, will go online Tuesday and showcase theologians, party strategists, political leaders and bloggers in hopes of conducting a national discussion...

When Democratic Party leaders "found God in the 2004 exit polls," as Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. likes to say, no one expected instant results. Many of the party's early efforts to attract religious voters, after all, were scattershot and not a little awkward. No one knew quite what the "faith staffer"—a new breed of legislative aide—was supposed to do, and random-seeming insertions of Bible verses into floor speeches came off as Tourette's syndrome for Democrats. In the longer run, though, the new focus on forming relationships with religious communities and voters has been the right move for a...

The frontrunner in the race to head up the so-called party of compassion and understanding said unabashedly on Saturday that he "hates" the opposition. "I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for," former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean told Democrats gathered at a Manhattan hotel, in quotes picked up by the New York Daily News. He and six other candidates came to address the final DNC forum before the Feb. 12 vote for chairman. Dean said that despite his hatred for the GOP, he "admires" their discipline and their organization. But he cautioned his Democratic audience that their party shouldn't...

Psychologist: Ohio recount relieves traumatized Kerry supporters Hypnotherapist says recount has put a stop to his post-election therapy sessions Published Tuesday, November 23, 2004 at 1:00 am by Sean Salai A licensed Florida psychologist who treated 20 John Kerry supporters for “post-election trauma” after their candidate’s loss to President Bush said Monday that the Ohio recount had cheered up Democrats and left him without any patients. Douglas Schooler, a Boca Raton psychologist who treated the Kerry partisans with intense hypnotherapy after they proved unable to handle the reality of losing to Bush, said last week’s Ohio recount announcement and reshuffling...

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Three people appeared in court Monday after being charged with vandalizing the North Carolina Republican Party headquarters. However, a friend of the three people had an emotional outburst outside the courtroom. Police said Vanessa Maria Zuloaga, 24, David Rueben Hensley, 20, and Melissa Lynn Brown, 18, attacked the headquarters around 11 p.m. Friday, leaving behind minor smoke damage, broken windows and vulgar messages. They were later charged with malicious damage to property using an incendiary device, a felony, said Raleigh police Maj. D.R. Lane. Hensley and Brown were given court-appointed attorneys, but Zuloaga declined. After they appeared...

LIE, CHEAT, STEAL THE DEMOCRATS WILL DO IT ALL:What is becoming plainly obvious is how badly the leftists in America are adopting the "anything we have to do to win - even if its illegal" approach to tomorrow's voting process. Fred Barnes in this morning's edition of the Weekly Standard  summed it up  best. "We are entitled to do whatever it takes to defeat him (BUSH), to say whatever we want. You see it in the bumper stickers (re-defeat Bush..., in the destruction of Bush yard signs..., in the harrassment at least in the blue states of anyone wearing a Bush...

MIAMI, Florida -- An ad placed in a Florida community newspaper by a city Democratic club attacks President Bush and U.S. policy in Iraq, and threatens Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The ad says of Rumsfeld, "We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say, 'This is one of our bad days,' and pull the trigger." The ad was placed by the St. Petersburg Democratic Club in last week's issue of The Gabber, a weekly community newspaper based in Gulfport, next to St. Petersburg on Florida's Gulf Coast. No one from the club could be reached for comment, but...
