Posted on 11/05/2002 12:28:12 PM PST by backhoe

No thundering rhetoric here, folks- just a heartfelt, straightforward appeal.

If you haven't voted yet, do it.
Take a friend, tell a neighbor.

Time's running out.
The clintons and their pals still control the democrat party, and they are not done screwing with America and Americans.
That's you and me, friends and neighbors; our relatives, our kids- we deserve better- if we have the courage to seize the power granted us, and use it once again to help America.

Please do it... now.


For further consideration:

-Activate Yourself! --

-Vote... and be D@mned! (vanity, but dead serious)--

UPDATE: In just the past few weeks ACORN has been accused of turning in fraudulent voter registration cards in Ohio, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. But, this is nothing new. ACORN has been tied to voter fraud in 12 states in the past few years including Virginia, >Texas Michigan, and even in Ohio, Missouri, and Pennsylvania back in 2004 The Employment Policies Institute has written an expose report on ACORN and their history of politicking, hypocrisy, and continual ties to voter fraud. I think you’ll find it interesting. A PDF file is available here.

Analysis: Ten Good Reasons to Vote GOP

Barone On Bush

One of my favorite analysts, Michael Barone, pens a must-read blog about his meeting with George Bush. The President has decided to go full tilt on defending the mission in Iraq, and Barone covers the effort: Read all of it, and listen to the audio if you get the chance. Michael Barone has posted an outstanding report here with an MP3 audio recording. Highly recommended -- don't miss it. (Courtesy of Hugh Hewitt.)  Posted by Captain Ed at 09:52 PM | Comments (10)

If they can't make it this year (Loss might ruin Democrats for good)--If Democrats lose both houses of Congress, (again), the recipe for response is simple.

1. Determine the lowest, most America-hating, most hysterical common demominator, and let them threaten and pry their way into speaking for the party.

2. Make cultural icons out of the Clintons (even though they are certifiably psychotic and were the most dissolute grifters to ever plunder the Presidency and the Whitehouse.

3. Hold meetings to decide which Democrat Solons make the daily Stalinist blames and accusations of the President (and anyone who is associated with him).

4. And, along the same lines, do any and everything possible to weaken the Republican President, even if it means siding with the enemy against America

5. Then, whine like a petulant child if one's "patriotism" comes into question.

6. Expand the hate mongering into full fledged, multi-media, revenge and spite-filled rage party. Includes news, entertainment, education, and (okay, don't laugh) left-wing talk radio.

Oh, wait. That's what they did this time.

Republicans oil their successful turnout machine

NJ Supreme Court Insists On Homosexual Marriages

N.J. court opens door to gay marriage

By GEOFF MULVIHILL, Associated Press Writer

TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey's highest court opened the door Wednesday to making the state the second in the nation to allow gay marriage, ruling that lawmakers must offer homosexuals either marriage or something like it, such as civil unions.

Isn't this exactly the opposite of what the people of New Jersey have said they wanted? More legislation from the bench from the Mullahs of our judicial Taliban.

Remember them on November 7.

7 Comments »--"You gotta love it. The left tells us that government has no business in our bedrooms (such as the sodomy laws that were shot down) but then want to give special privileges to those make what they do in their bedrooms our business."

All I can say is, those who believe that fundamental decisions of social, economic and security policy should be made democratically, not by judicial fiat, are losing the battle. If they stay home on November 7, that trend can only accelerate.

PAUL adds: Ed Whelan has more on the decision at NRO's Bench Memos.

The Stem Cell Advert Battle

Posted in Politics at 12:24 pm by GCPundit

Stem-cell research foes get sports stars in ad

“Amendment 2 claims it bans human cloning, but in the 2,000 words you don’t read, it makes cloning a constitutional right,” Suppan says in the commercial. “Don’t be deceived.”

Amendment 2 would provide constitutional protections for embryonic stem cell research in Missouri. The 30-second spot featuring Fox, 45, who sways uncontrollably in the ad due to his Parkinson’s disease, is actually a commercial for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Claire McCaskill.

But the Senate race and stem cell issue are intertwined - McCaskill’s Republican opponent, Sen. Jim Talent, opposes the stem cell measure.

Fox also has lent his celebrity to Democrats Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin, running for the Senate in Maryland, and Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle, who is seeking re-election. Both politicians also back stem cell research.

“They say all politics is local, but it’s not always the case,” Fox says in the ad that began airing Saturday during Game 1 of the World Series. “What you do in Missouri matters to millions of Americans - Americans like me.”

Why can’t the Democrats ever come out and say what they mean?

Amendment 2 is all about cloning, and a blank check.

Not to mention the exploitation of women, who will be paid, not for their eggs, but for their service.

A Doctor Responds

To Michael J. Fox;

Mr. Fox and his ads’ sponsors are guilty of conflating embryonic stem cell research, which the GOP candidates and many Americans oppose for destroying a human life in the name of curing other people’s diseases, with stem cell research in general, which includes adult stem cell research and umbilical cord blood stem cell research.

The only limits in question are on federal funding of new embryonic stem cell lines, requiring the sacrifice of new embryos. Private and state-funded research (California voters are spending six billion dollars borrowing money to fund this) is ongoing. The implicit claim that research based on new embryos is “the most promising” is absurd, completely unsupported by the scientific literature, and an insult to voters, based as it is on the assumption that they are incapable of understanding the issue. Too stupid to tell the difference, is the elitist assumption underlying this campaign.

A HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN STAFFER turns out to be behind the Foley affair website, according to this report. GayPatriot is unhappy: "I think the HRC needs to come clean and fully explain to those of you who give them money exactly what the hell they are up to. This entire matter has put every gay American into a bad light by equating child predators with being gay. The HRC has a responsibility to tell us what they know and when they knew it. They are now directly responsible for the anti-gay atmosphere that has emerged from the scandal that one of their own employees helped launch."

The Rush Limbaugh referendum

Brian Maloney has a thorough round-up on the Rush Limbaugh vs. Michael J. Fox battle.

As expected, the MSM is going bananas over Limbaugh's pointed commentary. Liberal celebrities stride onto the political stage with an imperial sense of entitlement--expecting to fling barbed criticism at their opponents while invoking immunity against any tough scrutiny of their positions or motives.

If unhinged Limbaugh-haters want to make this election a referendum on the conservative talk radio right vs. the Hollywood left, Nancy Pelosi should toss her measuring tape and drape fabric in the trash can pronto. You will lose.

Atlas Interview: Mark Steyn Warns US

Mark Steyn Interview: Money quote (for Atlas)  (minute 7:47, Part II)

Pamela: Hi this is Pamela from Atlas Shrugs.....

Mark Steyn: Hi Pamela. Big fan of yours

Pamela: YAY!

From Steyn? I can die and go to heaven now. My day, month, year is made. Totally.

Here's the audio in two parts, anyone who wants to convert to MP3?
Download mark_steyn_part_i.wav
Download mark_steyn_part_ii.wav

Mark Steyn (!) conducted an interview with a group of us - one of One Jerusalem.org's Newsmaker interviews. The sagacious Stein is one of the most important voices of our generation. His latest book America Alone: The End Of The World As We Know It (if you haven't read it buy it.) His book and his writings are a warning to America and the free world. His message echos Paul Belien's exhortation against the welfare state.

Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a muezzin. Europeans already are.

Mark_steyn

And liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength"—while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn’t violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy.

The future, as Steyn shows, belongs to the fecund and the confident. And the Islamists are both, while the West—wedded to a multiculturalism that undercuts its own confidence, a welfare state that nudges it toward sloth and self-indulgence, and a childlessness that consigns it to oblivion—is looking ever more like the ruins of a civilization.

Europe, laments Steyn, is almost certainly a goner. The future, if the West has one, belongs to America alone—with maybe its cousins in brave Australia. But America can survive, prosper, and defend its freedom only if it continues to believe in itself, in the sturdier virtues of self-reliance (not government), in the centrality of family, and in the conviction that our country really is the world’s last best hope.

Steyn argues that, contra the liberal cultural relativists, America should proclaim the obvious: we do have a better government, religion, and culture than our enemies, and we should spread America’s influence around the world—for our own sake as well as theirs.

On Iran, Stein has written;

If we’d understood Iran back in 1979, we’d understand better the challenges we face today. Come to that, we might not even be facing them. But, with hindsight, what strikes you about the birth of the Islamic Republic is the near total lack of interest by analysts in that adjective: Islamic. Iran was only the second Islamist state, after Saudi Arabia—and, in selecting as their own qualifying adjective the family name, the House of Saud at least indicated a conventional sense of priorities, as the legions of Saudi princes whoring and gambling in the fleshpots of the West have demonstrated exhaustively. Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue—though, as the Royal Family has belatedly discovered vis-à-vis the Islamists, they’re somewhat overdrawn on that front. The difference in Iran is simple: with the mullahs, there are no London escort agencies on retainer to supply blondes only. When they say “Islamic Republic,” they mean it. And refusing to take their words at face value has bedeviled Western strategists for three decades.

According to Stein, it is the intersection of the East and West that is at issue. In his travels through Europe that he found the most hostile Muslims in ........ France.

In once homogeneous Western cultures they have become, in a generation, bi-cultural. History was on the march very quickly in Europe.

The Democrats were so condescending on Iraq somehow George W. has squandered the good will of France and Germany. But it wasn't so, if you were in Chirac's position with an enormous  population of Muslims under 20 and unemployed, he had little choice.

Steyn_book_america_alone Big government is a national security issue. The welfare state weakens the great

No responsible political party at this time should be proposing entitlements. Exactly what Paul Belien said in our VLOG interview here.

Rogue countries observe Kim Jong Il  and think if he gets away with it, why can't I? So psycho states ...........

Even our friends in the world begins to doubt America's will. Reasonable countries will conclude America is not a reliable leader. America will not survive as a beacon of liberty.

He believes the current global conflict with Islam has its roots in history. We must contain its worst elements. Islam has changed dramatically over the last four decades. Jihadism has gone mainstream.

"Demography is a critical component to the fall of the West."

"How hard a nut multiculturalism to crack is a major problem."

I asked Steyn if he thought it was possible to get elected in America on an America is alone, no welfare state platform. I told him his warning echoed Belien against the welfare state but people vote with their wallets and could such a platform survive a jihad loving, welfare loving media. Condi Rice was vigorously pursuing a multilateral foreign policy which runs counter to what is necessary.

STEYN: " On that last point for example, I agree  with you. There are certainly elements in the Bush administration that agree with you on that too. That in fact, the State Department, the sort of striped pants permanent bureaucracy has succeeded in miring the second term of this administration in generally pointless diplomacy. But I don't believe there isn't any downside to running against the the United Nations. Unless you happen to be on certain of the coastal regions of America and certain  Ivy League college towns, you could run on an anti-UN platform and be elected almost anywhere in this country. You would be demonized by the New York Times as some Neanderthal but I don't think the American people would mind. I think they'd be broadly supportive of that.

But the point to understand  here Pamela is that you can't suddenly introduce some  these things six weeks before an election. You've got to .....some of these things need to be out there and you've got to be planting the seeds for them and changing the people's minds beyond the political process really.

You've got to be changing people's minds on a lot of the conventional wisdom on welfare, conventional wisdom on multi-culturalism wherever they raise their heads.

The advantage that America has is that a lot these countries are going to be going over the precipice before America and it's hard to argue that Europe is the way we ought to go when every time you switch on the evening news there's buildings in flames and "youths" as they call them hurling Molotov cocktails into police stations.

"What is pathetic about this Bush hatred is its pathetic parochialism This pathetic idea that there aren't any questions is ludicrous. "

Ann of Boker Tov Boulder asked a wonderful question because Steyn gave the most interesting and achievable objectives . She said that it was all so depressing and what did Steyn see as a best case scenario?

Best case scenario would look something like this;  Certain European countries, mainly European countries, will see whats happening in other parts of the continent and take steps not to be sucked down with the European Union.

The best case scenario in the Middle East would be if  we succeed in establishing a place for politics in the Middle East that is outside the mosque. At the moment, because of the repressiveness of the Mubarak sand the House of Saud, the only political space for politics  is inside the mosque. If you can create some democratic space outside the mosque there's a chance you can midwife  not perfect countries but more moderate countries that would greatly kind of lower the kind of jihad fever.

Best case scenario for Canada is it decides to get real and join the anglosphere and stop pretending to part of the European Union in the wrong hemisphere and decides to be more like Australia.

The best case in America is we accept that in a two party system  it would be helpful to have two sane parties. And the Democratic party decides that the outmoded European ideas are absolutely useless. That is wants to take at the minimum a kind of Tony Blair line on national security but at the same it also wants to go to self reliance and traditional notions of American liberty when it comes to domestic issues.

Turn back the jihadists tide. Latin America which is being subverted by the jihad at the moment, becomes a beacon of restored Christendom. We effect  regime change in Iran and we basically secure Israel in an environment in which we stop fetishizing the Palestinians in this death cult of depravity.

We are highly unlikely to win on all those fronts so one or two or four or more of those can be chipped away.

How fookin brilliant is that?

Other bloggers on the call included the IRIS blog, Avi Green of Tel Chai nation, Pastorius of Infidel Bloggers AllianceAmerican Thinker,  Warren Cozak, Jerry Gordon of Israpundit, Wizbang, Tigerhawk, Rick of Jewish Current Issues, John Hawkins Right Wing News,  Omri at  Mere Rhetoric who wrote a great post here

His read of the emergence of European multiculturalism is casual: "we need more plumbers, but we're certainly not going to do that work... we'll bring in kind of violent unassimilated immigrants, and to make ourselves feel better about their violent unassimilated we'll celebrate our tolerance for it". The causality between demographics, cultural exhaustion, and the welfare state is probably impossible to untangle, but his description is certainly how it happened on the ground - and it's certainly why journalists and authors find it so hard to criticize the "youths" that are rioting now.

On the other hand, he's not trading on any simplistic nostalgia for a Europe that never existed. We're not dealing here with a simple Huns-at-the-gate scenario: political Islam is not just barbaric primitivism. Rather, it is the intersection of the East and West, the Muslim world and the Christian world. In several places he alluded to the standard academic trope for this, which is that it's the intersection between the developing world and modernity - people driven by an ancient ideology who now have access to planes. It seems like he's still marked by the shock of traveling to Europe and the Middle East after 9/11 and discovering that France's Muslims were far more hostile and alienated than the people that he met in the Arab world. Osama Bin Laden might have lived in a cave, but the Hamburg 9/11 terrorists and the French gangbanging rioters live in apartments and have televisions.

He's also quite skeptical about the potential for secular values or secular movements to form a bulwark against political Islam as it spreads across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. He took time out to criticize the anti-theism of Chris Hitchens and the New Atheism of Richard Dawkins as empirical failures (he didn't use either of those labels, although that's what he was alluding to - Hitch's anti-theism is well-known, and Wired just posted an essential article on New Atheism). They might be sound in theory, but they're simply not appealing enough to form the basis for an ideology that can provide a backbone to the people who'll be fighting the good fight for the next two or three generations. As he said, "history is on the march very quickly in Europe"

Listen to it all.................

Hillary Evolves: Pro-Gay Marriage --  Gay City News ^

Hillary Clinton Tells Gays “Bush Puts Nixon To Shame”

October 26th, 2006

Hillary stands a lot of her and her husband's history on its head in this report from the Gay City News:

In an appearance early Wednesday evening in front of roughly three-dozen LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgendered] leaders, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton indicated that she would not oppose efforts by Eliot Spitzer, the odds-on favorite to become the new governor, to enact a same-sex marriage law in New York. She also suggested that language she used when she first ran for the Senate in 2000 explaining her opposition to marriage equality based on the institution's moral, religious, and traditional foundations had not reflected the "many long conversations" she's had since with "friends" and others, and that her advocacy on LGBT issues "has certainly evolved."

Gosh, what a burn. Especially from the co-President of the most ethical administration in history. From Wikipedia:

With a Democratic Congress, Clinton said, much more is possible...

How true.

And that's what makes it so scary.

 What About the Children? [ 1, 2 ]

 Michael J Fox epitomy of emotionalizing the right to murder [ 1, 2 ]

My Two Cents On Rush

The Anchoress filled in for me today, and admirably, in two excellent posts; if you haven't read them, then for goodness' sake, start scrolling immediately. On the latest of these, though, I have to take exception with one point, where I think she has inadvertently erred. She had this comment about Rush Limbaugh's commentary on Michael J. Fox:

Like Betsy Newmark, I basically think - from what I've read - that Limbaugh was very foolish in his initial response to the McCaskill ad by Fox. I'm not excusing his bloviating, but I do think I understand why Limbaugh lost it.

Several CQ readers objected to this characterization of Rush's commentary, and I think rightly so. The Anchoress relied on the media's reporting on his commentary, rather than the transcript. Here is what Rush said about Fox:

I must share this. I have gotten a plethora of e-mails from people saying Michael J. Fox has admitted in interviews that he goes off his medication for Parkinson's disease when he appears before Congress or other groups as a means of illustrating the ravages of the disease. So lest there be any misunderstanding, we talked about a half hour ago of the commercial that's running for Claire McCaskill featuring Michael J. Fox on what appears to be when he's off his meds. I have never seen him this way and I stated when I was commenting to you about it that he was either off his medication or acting. He is an actor after all, and started hearing from people, "Oh, no, I've seen him on TV this way, this is how the disease has affected him when he's not on his medications." Then the e-mails started coming in saying he's admitted not to taking them in certain circumstances so as to illustrate how the disease affects people. All of which I understand, and I'm not even critical of that. Parkinson's disease is hideous.

Let me just stress once again in what I said in closing this out, that I think this is exploitative in a way that's unbecoming either Claire McCaskill or Michael J. Fox, because in this commercial for Claire McCaskill he's using his illness in a way to mislead voters that there's a cure for Parkinson's disease if only Claire McCaskill gets elected, if only Jim Talent is defeated. And of course it's all about stem cell research, which is a huge ballot initiative in Missouri anyway. I'm sorry, Missoura. He pronounced it Missoura. There are two ways to pronounce my home state, Missouri and Missoura. And Missoura, in certain sectors is the preferred pronunciation. It is a way to relate to certain Missourans. We never say Missourans, we say Missourians. But it's a way to reach out, "I understand you, I know your state" and so forth. There's a lot of politics in the commercial. But Mr. Fox was allowing his illness to be used as a tactic to trying to secure the election of a Democrat senator who is going to somehow, her election is going to lead to the cure for Parkinson disease via stem cell research because her opponent, Jim Talent, opposes it, which is not true. He may oppose embryonic stem cell research, does not oppose adult stem cell research or even cord blood, I don't believe, research, umbilical cord research.

In fact, today Fox revealed that he had taken too much medication, not withheld it, and Rush apologized for his speculation. He had said that either Fox stopped taking his medication or acted out the symptoms for the commercial, and corrected the record. However, that did not come from idle speculation -- Fox admitted to doing exactly that for his appearance before Congress in his book, Lucky Man (page 247):

I had made a deliberate choice to appear before the subcommittee without medication. It seemed to me that this occasion demanded that my testimony about the effects of the disease, and the urgency we as a community were feeling, be seen as well as heard. For people who had never observed me in this kind of shape, the transformation must have been startling.

I don't even disagree with Fox's choice for his 1999 testimony. I think it probably provided a much-needed context for people unfamiliar with Parkinson's in younger sufferers, and Fox always had been an image of youthfulness. In fact, it was a courageous choice, and I'm sure very effective. However, with that in the open, speculation as to whether he has manipulated his symptoms for political purposes is fair game -- because he has done it in the past. If the First Mate testified to Congress to get them to publicly finance all kidney and pancreas transplants and juggled her medication to demonstrate the worst possible symptoms to make a bigger impression, speculation about her true status in other appearances would not be inappropriate in a political setting.

Rush had this to say to Katie Couric in advance of her interview with Fox today, when she asked him for a statement on the controversy:

I believe Democrats have a long history of using victims of various things as POLITICAL spokespeople because they believe they are untouchable, infallible. They are immune from criticism. But when anyone enters the POLITICAL arena of ideas they forfeit the right to be challenged on their participation and message.

I have not met Mr. Fox, do not know him. I have admired his work in film and TV and his appearances on Letterman were howlers. I have nothing personal against him. But I believe his implication that only Democrats want to cure disease(s) is irresponsible (as I believed about John Edwards assuring voters Christopher Reeve would walk if only John Kerry were elected). I think this is ultimately cruel and gives people who suffer these terrible afflictions false hope. ...

He is stumping for Democrats, in the political arena, and is therefore open to analysis and criticism as we all are. His suffering is NOT fair game and I am sorry if people drew that conclusion about my comments, but I believe this happens precisely because NO criticism of victims is ever allowed, at all, which as I say is the Democrat strategy in putting them forward.

Fox wants to get federal funding for human embryonic stem cell (hEsc) research. The Anchoress covered the futility of this research thus far, so I won't belabor that point. It's true that further research might find a way to use hEsc for a stable therapeutic use, but it's also true that private funding has not appeared because of the lack of results from hEsc. Other stem-cell types have produced much more concrete results. I believe that Fox is genuine in his concern and truly sees an opportunity for federal funding if the Democrats control Congress, and he is working towards that end. His motives are honorable, even if I strongly disagree with his point of view -- and my wife suffers from diseases that hEsc advocates claim they will cure with this research, so I'm not exactly a disinterested observer, either.

However, if Fox wants to enter politics, then he had better understand that his rhetoric and actions will come under criticism, especially when he has manipulated his symptoms for political purposes in the past. Rush provides pointed commentary, but his comments about Fox did not cross the line or even approach it. Rather than talk about Fox's supposed victimhood at the hands of Rush Limbaugh, we should be talking about the issue of hEsc research and its lack of any productive and practical therapies -- but that wasn't really the point of Fox's ads anyway.

Note: Two points. First, CQ readers know that Rush has been a gracious friend to me in the past, so I do take some of this personally. Second, as I mentioned in the post, the First Mate has a number of illnesses, chiefly renal failure, rejected transplants, and total blindness, all of which hEsc advocates believe can eventually be cured through this research. The FM will be the first to tell you that she would reject any therapy that came from destroyed embryos; she finds the prospect ghastly. Earlier commenters asked whether a conservative would eschew therapy if it would save their life, and you have the answer from at least one.

UPDATE: Scrappleface has weighed in on the controversy, and his premiere video is climbing the YouTube charts.

I heard Limbaugh's original broadcast. Contrary to what the MSM and their democrat masters would have us believe, he didn't make fun of Michael J. Fox's medical condition. Rather, he made a few good points. This is from the transcript of Rush's monologue of Monday, October 23:

Michael J. Fox is allowing his illness to be exploited and in the process is shilling for a Democrat politician. In the process of doing that, creating an impression like John Edwards tried to do [when he stated that stem cell research would have allowed Christopher Reeve to get out of his wheelchair and walk] that is not reality. Michael J. Fox is using his illness as a way to mislead voters into thinking that their vote for a single United States Senator has a direct impact on stem cell research in Missouri. It doesn't, and it won't. So Mr. Fox is using his illness as another tactic to try to secure the election of a Democrat senator by implying that with her election, that we'll be on the road to stem cell research her opponent opposes and people who suffer from Parkinson's disease as he does will have a cure. It's a negative ad, and negative ads work, and people criticize them all the time as I am doing to this one, but when you see it, there's something wrong about it in the get-go. It's the exploitation of someone's illness. I wonder if this would become a trend and all kinds of illness were being exploited how people would end up reacting to it and feeling about it. So if this was not an act, then I apologize. I've not seen this type of appearance by Michael J. Fox before and that's why it struck me the way it did. But despite all that, I mean it's pitiable and it's very sad anybody has this disease, because it is debilitating in ways that people that don't have it don't even understand. But to exploit it like this in misrepresenting the political agenda of a particular candidate, there's nothing admirable about that. [emphasis mine - dj505]

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_102506/content/democrats_exploit.guest.html

In sum:

1. Fox is so grossly misstating Talent's position as to be lying about it. He implies that Talent doesn't want a cure for Parkinson's found, while the saintly McCaskill does.

2. Limbaugh doesn't "make fun" of Fox's disease.

3. Rush makes it clear that, whether Fox is being manipulated or if he's a willing shill for the dems, he isn't immune from questioning or criticism.

The dems have been doing this for the past few years: get a "victim" to pitch one of their idiot policies knowing that the Republicans can't rebut without opening themselves to attacks of being ol' meanies. Rush knew he'd be attacked for daring to question Fox, and (once again) Rush was right.

I have listened to Rush this entire week;  Rush is absolutely right on target with his analysis; this was not an attempt by Fox to further along research he desperately believes in; this was a pure political ad stumping for a candidate and a party Fox wants desperately to win; pure and simple. Democrats roll out these people simply because of the "hands off" policy that the public demands with the handicapped and the underprivileged.

JIM CHEN writes that the New Jersey gay marriage case is just like Loving v. Virginia. I think he's right, which is why I think that it's wrong to call the New Jersey decision a compromise. It's a flat-out win for gay marriage advocates.

The Non-Contract With America. What Democrats aren't saying about their agenda, so we will.

DANIEL GROSS: "So the Dow hit 12,000. Big whoop."

Well, it would be a big deal if a Democrat were in the White House. . .

U.S. digs for vote-machine links to Hugo Chávez--The whole point of this tale seems to be to discredit ALL voting machine devices, by tying them to questionable sources. If not the evil Republicans, then to the whacko leftist dictator of a corrupt South American country, an attempt to enlist the Republican proponents of the electronic voting devices.
The voting machines as now administered tend to make a more honest vote possible. A simple fraud like stuffing ballot boxes has become much more difficult.
It would almost seem as if the Miami Herald does not WANT fraud taken out of elections. AT least, fraud they cannot approve of.

 

ACORN Caught With Fraudulent Voter Forms - Again!

October 27th, 2006

From the DNC's Associated Press:

ACORN accused of more bogus election forms

Posted on Wed, Oct. 25, 2006

CLAYTON, Mo. - St. Louis County Election officials claim hundreds of fraudulent voter address changes have been turned in by ACORN, a group that's been criticized for its voter sign-up work in Missouri.

St. Louis County's Republican elections director Joseph Goeke said if a county voter does not get a polling-place notification card in the mail right before the election, the address could have been changed behind their back.

Election Board employees estimate hundreds of fraudulent address changes were submitted.

The address changes included forged signatures and are among questionable or fraudulent voter registration cards submitted to the county within the past couple of months.

County officials told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that most of the suspicious registrations and address changes were submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

Similar fraudulent voter registration cards have turned up this month in St. Louis city and this week in Kansas City, as well as other states, including Ohio.

The cases are often similar. Voter registration cards were forged for a dead person, had false signatures and change of addresses or incorrect and missing personal information, Goeke said.

ACORN has registered hundreds of thousands of legitimate voters across the country, paying workers about $8 an hour in some cases...

Every year the folks from ACORN do everything they can to steal our elections. And when they aren't rigging elections, they are stirring up trouble with their endless protest demonstrations.

So why is ACORN is one of the largest taxpayer funded programs out there? Why are they not only tolerated but funded by our government?

Just think what more ACORN will get in government largess with the Congress in control of the Democrats.

And what more they will be able to accomplish.

You Only Get A Bigger Fire

I love politcs. I know that convention dictates that we all disparage politics, belittling the people who engage in it and questioning the sanity of those who closely follow it, but my three-year run as a blogger makes demurrals less than believable. Democracies run on politics, and I feel strongly that citizens need to engage the processes in order to achieve a truly representative government.

With all of this comes a wide range of behaviors in political campaigns. Some, such as Mark Kennedy's latest advertisement, demonstrate the honor that many politicians truly have in their efforts to provide leadership. Others, such as Patty Wetterling, remind us that some will sacrifice honesty for winning if necessary.

And then we have the George Allen - James Webb campaign...

UPDATE: Allahpundit at Hot Air, Michelle Malkin, and Charles at LGF all agree -- both sides need to put an end to the personal attacks and start talking about policy. So does Glenn.

Where We Went Wrong--Power corrupts and many Republicans have fallen under its sway. They are too busy building their net worth through nefarious means to notice that they have abandoned their constituents. I have no sympathy for them, they deserve whatever they may get.
But, the alternative is far worse. I cannot imagine the harm that will be done by a Democrat party that has become far more radical and leftist in the past 12 years. They are Communist in all but name and they will preside over the ruination of this country should we let them.
I am concerned that if the Republicans, through our hard work, manage to dodge a bullet and retain power, they will forget the message and return to their evil ways. But, we must take the risk. The consequences of the alternative are too horrible to contemplate.

A vanguard stymied

So far, 2006 has not been my favorite election cycle. Still, I'm getting some pleasure from the left's displeasure about what's going on in Connecticut with Ned Lamont. The wealthy anti-war candidate is now trailing Senator Lieberman by double digits and, given Lamont's seemingly dead-in-the-water status and the fact that Lieberman is still a Democrat, the national party seems largely uninterested in assisting Lamont further.

Naturally, the infantile left blogosphere is beside itself. NRO's Sixers has collected some of its rantings directed at leading Democrats. Here's one example: The outrage these bloggers are experiencing is a good indicator of what things will be like when (as must happen at some point) the Dems come to power.  Permalink 

Michael Steele’s sister and Stem Cell Research

Michael Steele Corrects The Record

Michael Steele has produced a devastating advertisement in response to the ads flooding Maryland on behalf of Benjamin Cardin featuring Michael J. Fox. Fox claims to support Cardin because Steele opposes stem-cell research. However, Steele actually supports stem cell research, while Cardin voted against the kind of legislation Fox wants to pass. Steele found a spokesperson who will make the hypocrisy clear for Maryland voters -- his sister:

I’m Dr. Monica Turner. Congressman Ben Cardin is attacking Michael Steele with deceptive, tasteless ads. He is using the victim of a terrible disease to frighten people all for his own political gain.

Mr. Cardin should be ashamed.

Here’s something you should know about Michael Steele. He does support stem cell research, and he cares deeply for those who suffer from disease. How do I know? I’m Michael Steele’s little sister. I have MS, and I know he cares about me.

Dr. Turner's ad devastates this flimsy campaign by Cardin and Fox to torpedo Republicans. Posted by Captain Ed at 11:08 AM | Comments (6) | TrackBack (1)

From Steele's own web site: I am an enthusiastic supporter of cord blood, adult stem cell and embryonic stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo, and I fully support expanding innovations in technology that make it possible to treat and prevent disease without the willful destruction of human embryos.

Zombie: Progressives Brainstorm in Berkeley

Zombie’s new report, with MP3 recordings, covers The “What Are Americans Voting For?” panel discussion at UC Berkeley, with Markos “Screw Them” Moulitsas, Joan Blades (co-founder of MoveOn.org), and the ridiculous “progressive” philosopher George Lakoff and his GOP-Daddy theories.

Few things in life evoke the gag reflex with such rapidity as listening to the genius boast that “we got [Lieberman’s] ass out of the Democratic Party.”

I’d call this a brainstorming session, but that would require brains. I’d call it a meeting of the minds, but that would require minds.

“GOP-Daddy” Lakoff was first mocked at LGF in November 2003: Berkeley Prof Tries to Figure It Out. And I’m sure it will come as no surprise to learn that Lakoff is an admirer of Noam Chomsky.   link: 81 comments

COULTER SPOTTED FOX IN THE HENHOUSE--

You have to hand it to Ann Coulter...when she depanties disingenuous liberal hypocrisy; nothing is left to the imagination. 

In chapter five of her bestseller, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, Coulter lays out the liberal “Doctrine of Infallibility”.  As Coulter explains it, “Finally, the Democrats hit on an ingenious strategy: They would choose only messengers whom we’re (Conservatives) not allowed to reply to”.  Coulter continues that, “All the most prominent liberal spokesmen are people with ‘absolute moral authority’—Democrats with a dead husband, a dead child...a terminal illness...” 

And so, after the death of famed liberal stem cell research expert Christopher Reeve, Spin City’s Michael J. Fox became the infallible Hollywood twit-turned-academician propagandist to lead the liberals’ embryonic stem cell disinformation campaign.  Like Reeve, Fox can lie but Conservatives can’t tell the truth because the liar is an infallible “victim”. 

And along came Limbaugh.  

Oh, that horrible Rush Limbaugh.
