Another example of why letting the Democrats ever again controll any portion of the Federal Goverment is insanely risky. The notion that once in they would easily be routed out of power again is nonsense.

Secret plan alleged on campaign financing Sacramento Bee ^ | 9/19/6 | Jim Sanders

A California Nurses Association publication indicates the group is pushing the Proposition 89 campaign-finance measure as a Trojan horse to get what it covets most: universal health care, opponents said Monday.
Allan Zaremberg, president of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the strategy basically was spelled out in a document that appeared on the nurses association Web site.
"They have a two-step process here," he said. "One is to eliminate the ability of business to communicate with the voters. The second step is to have government-run health care on the next ballot ... and deny voters the ability to hear the other side."
Proposition 89 would allow public financing of campaigns for state offices, an overhaul touted as a way to discourage undue influence by well-heeled special interests.
The measure, crafted by the CNA, is on the Nov. 7 ballot.
Chuck Idelson, spokesman for both the CNA and the Yes on Proposition 89 campaign, said the nurses group has supported universal health care for many years but that the campaign-finance initiative is not specifically linked to that goal.
Universal health care is a bitterly controversial concept to replace California's system of private health insurance with a state-run system to provide medical care to every resident.

Like I said .. do everything possible to save the House .. because the Senate is toast
If the WOT is your #1 concern, I doubt you would find anyone more on our side and less PC than Guiliani. Must admit, however, that I am not that familiar with anything Romney has done on that score.
It's telling that only Democrats ever really propose a draft. They want it only so they can knock each other over to get to the microphones and accuse conservatives of sending poor and minority soldiers to fight "their rich man's war". And of course they'd love to see the military hamstrung by trouble-making draftees. Anything to undermine the war against Islamofascism, in which they don't even believe.

Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee and Democratic challenger Sheldon Whitehouse are neck-and-neck two months before an election that could help decide the balance of power in the U.S. Senate, according to a new Brown University poll.
If the election were held Tuesday, 40 percent of voters said they would select Whitehouse, compared to 39 percent for Chafee.
Isn't Lugar in the Gang of 14??
If you noticed - only a couple of the pubs running for re election in the Senate voted for the Immgigration bill
And to think that Schumer just demanded we spend the billions necessary to upgrade the UN building.
Frankly I don't care that Clinton had sex, but I do care that he lied under oath. What he does behind closed doors does not interest me in the least.
Which comedy sketch is that from? SNL or the press dinner?

Thank you SO much Mol!!! I will do it right now!!!!
I want the UN out. Chuckie can STFU.
Much like Tom Kean, Jr. here in NJ. They think the path to victory is by bashing the President.
I agree 100%. If the Islamofascists succeed in destroying our civilization, none of the social issues will even exist. The president's primary job is to lead our country to victory in this war. Everything else is secondary.
David Frum is a hysteric Bush hater who has never gotten over getting booted from the Bush Whitehouse. His analysis is all written out of personal spite not any remote conntection with reality.
deffie...
please... don't do this... are you really suggesting that I call everyone a liberal if they are not a robot?
I am ONE of those that calls Bush out on not being conservative enough. This does not mean I hate him, this does not mean I think he lacks honesty or integrity. I believe he possesses both...
You are claiming that yo KNOW my litmus test, and it is BS...you are claiming that you know how I measure a man.
I am going to stop there. I have in NO WAY attacked YOU. I have disagreed with you on Rudy. But I have not in anyway attacked, challenged, or questioned your measure of people, or called what I ASSUME to be your views BS....
I love you, and I adore you. But I also know that you are less likely than I am to seperate your heart and passions form opinions and logic.
Because I love you, and value you as a a friend, I will let your assumptions of me go unanswered, and unchallenged. But I will admit. You just changed our relationship. I have been as kind and humble as I can be to you over this without abandoning my integrity.
So - we can drop it and move on... or you can continue to back me into a corner by questioning my character, and leave me no choice but to counter. Your attacks and accusations of me for my opinion have reached my limit.
I didn't know he did Saturday Night Lowratings. How about that for a second offering of proof?
Actually, I'm not too surprised. And there is no way I would rule him out at this early date.
