Dear Senator, How can you, as a Democrat, vote for cloture on an amnesty bill (S. 1348) that would drastically increase the flow of foreign workers into the U.S. at a time when 40 percent of working-age Black men can't find a full-time job? For every illegal worker that you sought to champion by voting for cloture on S. 1348, there are three unemployed Americans. These millions of Americans are a great untapped resource for this country, but you have chosen to shove them into the shadows. Your "yes" vote on cloture disgraces the memory and work of the late...

Ryan O'Doherty, a former communications director for the Maryland Democrat Party has been implicated by emails to party members hours before the Washington Post story which started the whole Steffan/MD4Bush/MOM smear saga. Details will emerge later tonight on WBAL radio.

Senator Diane Feinstein today spoke a little about Supreme Court nominees, and what we can expect from the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. She also let us in on what issues Liberals in the U.S. consider when they think of the rulings that affected them, and which they cherish the most. Feinstein told those gathered to hear her at a meeting of the L.A. County Bar Association that in her opinion the person chosen to replace Sandra Day O'Connor should be "balanced and Fair," and not come from either extreme. She then proceeded to give a history lesson to those gathered,...

Here’s a plan for 2008. Suppose a Democrat wins a close presidential election. But the House and Senate are still very likely to remain in Republican hands. The GOP could then challenge the electoral vote certification, just like the Democrats did this year. The Republican majorities in the House and Senate could then decertify the electoral votes of narrowly-won blue states (they’d certainly have more grounds for claiming fraud than the Democrats did this year.) A Republican president would thus be elected.Why not? As they’ve demonstrated in 2004, Democrats would certainly do all of the above if they had a...

Sudenly, there is an explosion of media about the dark side of liberalism, exposing their down-the-nose, arrogant elitism and worse. The American Conservative magazine today exposes the elitism of liberals: "Babbittry is the idea that the average Joe lives within the passionless routine of marriage, the tyranny of consumerism, and the regimentation of small-town civic life. Babbittry judges Joe to live in a benighted, blinkered spiritual state, a gay-bashing, beer-drinking redneck whose Taliban tendencies want to ban dancing, rock-and-roll, and R-rated movies. People who don’t live in New York, Hollywood, or divide their time between Virginia, Hyannis Port, or Nantucket...

Jay Leno said it best. The comedian with the unusually large chin quiped, "Its amazing that we live in a country that has 50 contestants for Miss America, but only two for president." We are five days away from the Nov. 2 Presidential Election, and the two choices for commander-in-chief we are realistically left with have reached the political equivalent of the 12th round of a boxing match. As of yet, neither President George W. Bush nor challenger John F. Kerry have delievered a knock out blow, leading one to suspect the judges to decide the winner. The judges of...

Democrats are counting on Sen. John Kerry's military credentials to convince voters that he can be trusted with America's national security. But documents that surfaced over the weekend raise serious questions about whether Kerry was duped in the 1990s into helping the Chinese military perfect its ability to strike the U.S. with nuclear weapons. In 1996 Kerry met with Liu Chaoying, the daughter of a powerful Chinese military official who also doubled as vice president of a subsidiary of the state-owned China Aerospace Corp. Before the meeting, held in Kerry's Senate office, Liu's sponsor, Johnny Chung, made clear she was...
