I read somewhere else this morning that Delay's fundraising has set a new record high in the last three months. The democrats tactics continue to backfire.

Kristol may have nothing to fear but his headline is oh so correct. Criminalizing conservatives .. also include Christians.

The connect the dots exercise is fine.All too well known here at FR maybe. Question is, what is the GOP gonna do about it?
Can we also PLEASE throw up some shameless, focussed, disingenuous, victory-at-all-costs politicians in the Dem mould?

Come to think of it, the conservative movement has ceded critical areas like education, popular culture and civil rights to the leftie-libs. A blunder of such proportions is not w/o consequences. Unless we conservatives see another survival threatening crisis, I doubt we'll do what is necessary, unabashedly, to win....

You think Conservatives are being criminalized now? Wait till Hillary gets into the White House. They'll be putting them into concentration (excuse me, re-education) camps.

Will the Patriot Act help or hinder President Rodham in such endeavors?

As in the case with her hubby, the hildebeast can only become prez if a third party draws off all the pubbie whiners as perot did. This may very well happen.

This is the situation: There are so many laws and regulations that everyone has probably committed a felony sometime in their life, almost all of them unknowingly.

Conservativss are held to the absolute letter of the law, even when trying their best to avoid violating any law, they sometimes fail. Now I don't think Delay has even done that.

On the other hand we have corruption by Liberals on a massive scale with stealing elections, stealing money, selling secrets to the enemy, sexual pervision, the list goes on and on. If anyone tries to hold them accountable, they are attacked in the most vicious manner by the media, and Democratic apparatus.

It really is that shocking.

While not a fan of William "McCain" Kristol, he is dead on target with this piece.

Unfortunately, I think her chances are getting better all the time. The media is increasingly playing her up (no surprise there), she won't have any serious opposition in her party (maybe Kerry will challenge her, but they'll laugh him off), and the Republicans have no clear front runner. If the Republicans nominate McCain, look for the Press to smooze him during the primaries then turn on him over the "temper" & health issues in the general election. Its called the Rope-A-Dope strategy.

Criminalization is a reflection of a deep malady at the heart of American politics..

If criminal prosecution is seen to loom ahead for every politician who begins to act out his or her beliefs in unconstitutional government or politics, perhaps reform will be sustainable.

We don't need to pretend to have all the answers, or a solid answer even to one of these questions.
But it's a reasonable bet that when it became clear that a comprehensive strategy of criminalization has been implemented to inflict defeat on politicians who seek to govern as socialists, that true reform would soon follow.

You don't have to read down too far before he begins accusing this administration of classified leaks. The Plame leak being the most serious.

Kristol has truly lost his mind, but then I never thought he had much of an intellect.

More like a useful idiot for McCain.

So you agree that this administration leaks classified information regularly?

Kristol is a ball-less, eunuch {redundant} pimp and panderer. He does not speak for me... ever. That weasel smile reminds me of ellis the pellican, the lefty mouthpiece. When kristol happens to speak the truth, it causes me to doubt my understanding of the facts.

Kristol is a creep and so are all his "pile on for Hillary fans". All of you are dreaming.
And all of you are dead in the water.
The notion that betrayal in the ranks of disloyal conservatives somehow paves the way for your treachery is ridiculous.
Let's remember a key fact: You still don't have an agenda other than Hatred.

Wow, that's a hard one. Let me hazard a guess: nothing?

Aw geeze


Are we gonna play I'm naive, your naive, this morning?


How's this ... All administrations have "leakers".

And for wht it's worth Kristol said "The Bush administration has been replete with leaks of presumably classified information."

We have. The name Tom Delay comes to mind.
