There is new information on the accusations against ACORN, a group that tries to get low income people to vote. Now, more ACORN offices around the U.S. are under investigation after police raided their Las Vegas office. ACORN representatives will tell you this is all politically motivated, because they register people who would tend to vote for democrats. Election officials say they are also registering lots of people, who do not even exist. Since investigators cleaned out their offices during a Tuesday morning raid, ACORN has been working to clean up its image and saying they were identifying registration fraud...

We should every year remember the true story of Mary Jo's death, and how it revealed the true "character" of one Edward M Kennedy.

A decade before Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton admitted fudging the truth during the presidential campaign, federal prosecutors quietly assembled hundreds of pages of evidence suggesting she concealed information and misled a federal grand jury about her work for a failing Arkansas savings and loan at the heart of the Whitewater probe, according to once-secret documents that detail the internal debates over whether she should have faced criminal charges. Ordinarily, such files containing grand jury evidence and prosecutors' deliberations are never made public. But the estate of Sam Dash, a lifelong Democrat who served as the ethics adviser to Whitewater Independent...

<p>WASHINGTON (AP) Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, called an ad criticizing John Kerry's military service ''dishonest and dishonorable'' and urged the White House on Thursday to condemn it as well.</p> <p>''It was the same kind of deal that was pulled on me,'' McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press, referring to his bitter Republican primary fight with President Bush.</p>

Speaking on C-SPAN's "In Depth" Sunday, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich issued a strong condemnation of President Bill Clinton's character, Clinton's recent comments against Gingrich over the 1998 impeachment and the former president's recent claim that he was always against the war in Iraq. "He is fundamentally dishonest on a routine, regular basis," said Gingrich. "It's just his personality. He tells you the version he needs to be who he is to get through this week. And he just did it in Iowa over whether he used to be against the war in Iraq." Clinton told a crowd...

O'Reilly Factor Partial Transcript of the interview with Kristinn on 7-31-07 Transcript From the July 31 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor: "From the July 31 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor: O'REILLY: In the "Impact" segment tonight, as we've been reporting, the hate website Daily Kos has intimidated the Democratic presidential candidates with the exception of Senator Biden. So they are speaking at the Kos convention this coming weekend. There's no question that the most vile stuff imaginable is posted on this hate site and others like it. Now, some on the left justify the garbage by...

Jimmy Carter: Paid Jihad Agent When I was working on my first Hollywood movie, Body Double, I turned to director Brian De Palma during a story conference and said: "Brian, what's our character's motivation?" Brian, a great director, cackled, vastly amused, and said: "Robert, there are only two motives that audiences really buy: sex and money." That wise advise has stayed with me and served me well throughout my screenwriting career. Which brings us to former President Jimmy Carter. Everyone is running around trying to figure why he's spending so much time bashing Israel. In a world filled with so...

IAEA: U.S. Report on Iran 'Dishonest' Friday September 15, 2006 4:01 AM By GEORGE JAHN Associated Press Writer VIENNA, Austria (AP) - A recent House of Representatives committee report on Iran's nuclear capability is ``outrageous and dishonest'' in trying to make a case that Tehran's program is geared toward making weapons, a senior official of the U.N. nuclear watchdog has said. The letter, obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday outside a 35-nation board meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency, says the report is false in saying Iran is making weapons-grade uranium at an experimental enrichment site, when it...

INFIDELS, come out come out wherever you are!

Tax-cut advocate Grover Norquist has labeled Senator John McCain, and his report last week on a $50,000 contribution by the Choctaw Indian tribe to Norquist's Americans for Tax Relief, "dishonest." In an interview with NewsMax, Norquist also accused McCain of "lying" about ATR's role in the matter and suggested McCain's report is nothing more than political payback. Norquist said McCain has claimed to others that Norquist and Ralph Reed engineered his defeat in the heated 2000 South Carolina presidential primary that pitted the senator against George Bush. Andrea Jones, McCain's press secretary, did not respond to requests seeking comment.

VP Dick Cheney joined the White House attack on critics of the Iraq war Wednesday night when he told a conservative group that senators who had suggested that the Bush administration manipulated prewar intelligence were making "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city." Mr. Cheney, who was the administration's toughest, most persistent advocate for the war in Iraq, depicted the senators as hypocrites swayed by antiwar sentiment and their own political ambitions. "Some of the most irresponsible comments have, of course, come from politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing force against Saddam...

MUST SEE VIDEO! The Republican National Committee has released video of the usual suspects from the Democrats (Clintons, Albright, etc.) that couldn't tell the truth if it was right in front of them. These clips will give you the truth of what they have stated and the background to defend the President and this Administration on Iraq. Please click on the link below to view the clips: GOP.com

    NYTimes' Editorials About The Corps of Engineers are a bit Dishonest I've been hearing a lot concerning the Army Corps of Engineers and budget cuts that the administration has forced upon them. Yesterday I heard Former Congressman Livingston of Louisiana complain that environmentalists have fought hard to keep all money out of the Corps hands, so I went looking. Yesterday the NYTimes economic (though unqualified) writer Paul Krugman asked: "Second question: Why wasn't more preventive action taken? After 2003 the Army Corps of Engineers sharply slowed its flood-control work, including work on sinking levees. "The corps," an...

I like to remind my Republican friends that the roots of the Brady Campaign are Republican to the core. I do it just to get them backpedaling after some dig about Democrats hating guns. I may also remind them that the original 1993 Assault Weapon Ban amendment could not have passed without Republican votes because eight Democrats voted NO and two of the eight were Nevada Senators Reid and Bryan. I generally think the best of everybody, so I had counted organizations like the Brady Campaign as sincere but illogical and misguided. Gun control folks are well intentioned but wrong....

Hugh Hewitt has posted a challenge to bloggers and others to offer up suggestions on how CBS can pull itself -- and by extension the other dying dinosaurs of the Old Media -- out of its likely fatal ratings spiral. In order to solve a problem, of course, one must first understand what the nature of that problem is. At CBS and the rest of the Old Media the problem is not one of cosmetics but rather one of philosophy and therefore it is not something that can be quickly fixed with a new set or by promoting of the...

"I Gave It Up for Lent"Harry R. OsborneA few years ago about this time of year, a story appeared in the newspaper about a strange occurrence in France. It seems that a thief cornered a man in a dark place. He threatened to slash the man's throat with his knife unless he handed over his money. As the Victim reached for his wallet, the light caught him in such a way that the thief saw his victim was a priest. The robber quickly apologized for his behavior explaining that he was unaware of the fact that he had preyed upon...

Have you ever been issued a "guaranteed" reservation by a hotel? You know the drill: they take a credit card number and tell you that you will be charged for the room if you don't show up. But in return, you comfort yourself with the assumption that your access to an actual room at that particular hotel is "guaranteed" even if you show up at 4 AM. Maybe if you did this, you assumed that it meant that the hotel had already sold the room to you, and that, barring acts of God like a tornado, no matter how late...

No Name Calling Week?     1/12/2005By Warren Throckmorton, Ph.D.Yes, name-calling is wrong. But this event’s sponsors reveal the agenda behind banning it. “There is a special place in hell for people like you!” These words were directed at me by a teacher during this past summer’s National Education Association (NEA) convention in Washington, D.C. This delegate to the NEA convention made his prediction in response to my presence at the NEA’s Ex-Gay Educators’ Caucus booth in the convention exhibit hall. His cheery salutation caught me off-guard given the message of tolerance and acceptance I had been hearing around the exhibit hall....

What Happens When Science and Feminism Become Bedfellows One curious thing about scientific pronouncements is that they often seem to accord more with the spirit of the age than fact and reason. Thus, a Nazi researcher in 1930's Germany would analyze data from only one angle and state, “You see, this vindicates our assertion that the Aryans are the master race.” Now, lest you think that such provincial thinking doesn’t plague our enlightened age, I can assure you, it’s alive and well – only the ends have changed.

Greedy hypocrites January 7th, 2005 The recent disparagement of American aid efforts to help tsunami victims as “stingy” by Jan Egeland, Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs at the United Nations, is merely the latest in a series of anti-American words and actions by Norway and Norwegians. While one might generously characterize some of these actions as merely the typical left-wing carping of self-styled “humanitarians,” or as the by-product of good intentions gone awry, a closer analysis reveals that a prime motivation of this disproportionate hostility might be based on that oldest of human failings: greed. Recent history indicates that the...

For those of you who thpought the Oris thread was true, it was not. I was taking a survey for the Constitutionist party to see how people act with new third-partys.

CHERRY HILL, N.J. (AP) - A lieutenant in the New Jersey National Guard - sent home after she was allegedly raped on a Mississippi base - has been declared absent without leave in an attempt to force her to return to her old unit, her lawyer charged. Attorney Frederick Klepp said the Army has not responded to his proposal that the lieutenant be allowed to report to a New Jersey base to avoid prosecution. She would then begin the process of leaving the Guard, Klepp said. The woman told The Oregonian newspaper she met the alleged attacker Aug. 8 at...

Racine Unified School District Superintendent Thomas Hicks said what started out to be a class-related activity last week turned out to be a partisan event.

"At one point it appeared it was going to be bipartisan and reach out to all of the community. But some groups decided they didn't want be part of it. Not everyone was...

MADISON, United States (AFP) - Rock icon Bruce Springsteen sent megastar wattage surging through John Kerry (news - web sites)'s White House campaign, whipping up a crowd of least 80,000 people at a rocking rally in swing state Wisconsin. "The Boss," famed for hits including "Born in the USA," said Kerry had lived his country's history for 50 years, and painted him as true guardian of the gritty working folk and American fables that people his songs. Thousands of spectators packed balconies on neat wooden houses along a mile-long stretch of road climbing up the Midwest state's white Capitol, packed...

A blogger on the official John Kerry campaign Web site has offered a telling insight into the Kerry campaign in her account (since removed) of a December campaign party. "We had 200 guests eating, drinking, and watching the MoveOn documentary 'Uncovered,' featuring Joseph Wilson and Rand Beers from the Kerry campaign," wrote blogger Pamela Leavey, describing a Kerry event that did not include John Kerry himself. "When Theresa Heinz-Kerry arrived, she handed me a pin that read in the center: 'Asses of Evil' with 'Bush,' 'Cheney,' 'Rumsfeld,' and 'Ashcroft.' surrounding it." Asses of Evil — get it? And how fitting...

Check FOX and Friends NOW for story on Kerry!

WASHINGTON, 20 October 2004 — Because I have been repeatedly asked the question, “For whom will you vote and why?” Let me use this opportunity to respond. This November, I will vote for John Kerry for president of the United States. I will do so, confident that it is the right thing to do for my country and my community. Now this doesn’t mean that I agree with all of John Kerry’s positions. I’m a Democrat, but I’ve always challenged my party and its leadership when it was important to do so. Over the past two decades I’ve helped to...

WARNING TO US PEOPLE FROM A FRENCH SUPPORTING GW.BUSH May be you don't know about french foreign policy! I think it's very important to understand that Kerry's views are only a repetition of the dangerous french position. For french politicians and a wide part of the people it's impossible to distinguish what is good and what is bad,french government is unable to choose between good and bad because of a spiritual illness called scepticism Since the beginning of Irak war CHIRAC is systematically in opposition to US. For the release of french hostages the french government tried to get the...

Little Johny Edwards, ambulance chaser and loser, has promised that if "Viet Cong" Kerry is elected, Christopher Reeve would be able to walk. This from an un-Christian bunch who disregard the teachings of their own churches while claiming to be believers.Thus, Kerry believes in abortion (or at least, SAYS he does) while claiming to belong to a church that rejects abortion. That is flip-flopping, having a foot in both camps!Edwards states that Kerry would do a miracle and make Reeves walk, a medical miracle. What has not been reported is that Edwards has promised that Kerry will miraculously cure several...

Debatable Debate Impressions, Part II Edwards – More than a Pretty Face? by Bob Redman (7 Oct. 2004) In my article about the first debate between Bush and Kerry I enumerated eleven of the many cheap shots which Kerry made. During the vice-presidential debate on Tuesday evening, Edwards repeated and/or elaborated on the cheap shots, and added some of his own. A detailed analysis of the whole tissue of obfuscation would run to several pages which most of you wouldn’t read to the end. I therefore content myself with the elucidation of only one of Edward’s trial lawyers' devices which...

Concerning those forged memos: What did John Kerry know and when did he know it? There are a few seldom mentioned interesting facts that almost answer that question. The accumulation of "facts" do not speak well for John Kerry and his campaign workers at all. The first interesting tidbit was published in the Sept. 21 edition of the San Francisco Chronicle[1]. The lead paragraph tells the story: "Former Vice President Al Gore's presidential campaign heard but did not pursue allegations about George W. Bush's Air National Guard service, similar to the information in discredited documents aired by CBS News this...

One quick and easy way to counter this year's attempt by CBS to steal the White House is to protest the extension of the braodcasting license of your local CBS affiliate!Sure, extensions are routine; these are very valuable property rights. But, call your local CBS affiliate, the business manager if you can get through to her. Ask when the station's license is up for renewal. Tell her that you and your colleagues will oppose renewal on the grounds of their failure to use this public asset in the best interests of the public. Ask her for the name and address...

2004 GOP Primary EndorsementsU.S. Senate - John McCain sure has a lot of sympathies for liberal and Democrat causes and office holders. He has opposed almost everything conservatives hold dear. This summer alone, he has defended Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and has sided with homosexual activists over those who would defend traditional marriage. Recommendation: NONE

Not a SINGLE MEMBER OF SWIFT BOAT VETS AGAINST KERRY ACTUALLY SERVED ON HIS BOAT WITH HIM. On the other hand, Kerry's real shipmates support him publically. That is why the Swift Boat Vets Against Kerry have ZERO credibility, and are thus being almost completely ignored by the mainstream media. Yes, they'll get some airplay with zealots like Hannaty and Rush, but in essence these guys have shown themselves to be total grifters. Shame of the Republican Party for endorsing this kind of dishonest, and ESPECIALLY shame on George W. Bush for not condemning this pack of fools.

Poll suggests negative ads having effect Fewer in survey use word honest of candidate Kerry By Will Lester, Associated Press | May 13, 2004 WASHINGTON -- After three months and millions of dollars in negative ads, Americans describing Democrat John Kerry in one word for poll takers no longer choose the word honest, but that word remains the one most often cited for President Bush, even as incompetent has gained ground. A national survey released yesterday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press shows a wide range of word choices by those who were asked ''what...

Tell me Democrats; is it his record, stupid? What in general persuades Democrats that most in the country will not remember nor consider their words, records, or actions that occurred over their many years in the public eye? Do they honestly believe American citizens are that dim-witted, lacking skills to discern truth from fallacy? Or, are they simply depending on intimidation in conjunction with manipulation to garner results? Sadly, Democrats have proven that acting the bully, as well as deceiving the public, neither takes a great deal of common sense or acute intellect. Truthfully, you would have to be from...

I am away on business and the hotel room does not get Fox or even MSNBC, so I am forced to watch CNN. And there was his fat puss on the screen.He was quiet, and his rhetoric was delivered in measured tones. He must have said ten times how Brown knew him well; he tried to present himself as just a regular American kinda guy who was merely exercising his right to dissent.Brown did press him a bit: (Paraphrase)"But Michael, was this really the right time and place?" No backtracking by fat boy; he held his position, but his tone...

WASHINGTON - The Senate approved a massive $390 billion measure Thursday financing most federal agencies, blessing the long-delayed last chunk of this year's budget that stalled last fall in an election-season standoff with President Bush (news - web sites) over spending. The bill's 69-29 passage ended the first prolonged battle this year in the new Senate. The winners were the chamber's majority Republicans, who battled — and sometimes used budget sleight of hand — to keep...
