House Minority Leader John Boehner, Ohio Republican, was piled on this weekend following his response to whether or not he would vote to extend the Bush middle-class tax cuts, if that was the only tax relief available to extend, and the Bush higher income tax cuts were not allowed the same extension. In an interview on Sunday with Bob Shieffer on CBS’s Face the Nation, Mr Boehner said: “We don't know what the bill's going to say, alright? If the only option I have is to vote for those at 250 and below, of course I'm going to do that....

America and Europe face the worst jobs crisis since the 1930s and risk "an explosion of social unrest" unless they tread carefully, the International Monetary Fund has warned. "The labour market is in dire straits. The Great Recession has left behind a waste land of unemployment," said Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the IMF's chief, at an Oslo jobs summit with the International Labour Federation (ILO). He said a double-dip recession remains unlikely but stressed that the world has not yet escaped a deeper social crisis. He called it a grave error to think the West was safe again after teetering so close...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 13, 2010 CONTACT: Levi Russell at (509) 979-6615 or via email at: Levi@FrontLineStrat.com HOW COULD MIKE CASTLE WIN IN NOVEMBER IF HE CAN'T WIN IN SEPTEMBER? One of the most oft-repeated claims made by Liberal RINO Mike Castle's campaign is that Republicans should look past his pro-Obama/pro-Pelosi voting record because he has the best chance "to win" in November were he to be the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate. But the developments in the GOP primary race between Conservative Republican Christine O'Donnell and Mr. Castle suggest this claim is looking increasingly hollow. "Mike Castle's campaign has...

The imam leading the effort to build an Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero says there is a "misperception" that the proposed site is sacred ground. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said Monday that the location where the center would be built, two blocks from the World Trade Center, has a strip joint and betting parlors nearby. He says it's "absolutely disingenuous" to suggest that it is "hallowed ground."

PRINCETON, NJ -- Forty-eight percent of registered voters favor Republican congressional candidates and 43% favor Democratic candidates in Gallup's national generic ballot for the week of Sept. 6-12.

When participants on the liberal virtual community JournoList wanted to stifle debate about then-candidate Barack Obama's affiliation with the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright, they resorted to a favorite liberal tactic. It was late 2008, and America was in the throes of the heated campaign for president. Thanks to reporting by the Daily Caller, we now know that the liberal plan laid out by Washington Independent reporter Spencer Ackerman was to "take one of them - Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares - and call them racists." When all of this was exposed recently, many Americans were stunned. But to those...

Russian Metropolitan Blasts Anglican Communion's Sexual InnovationsHilarion praises Global South stand on marriage. Absence of heresy deplored. Our Church must sever its relations with those churches and communities that trample on the principles of Christian ethics and traditional morals. Here we uphold a firm stand based on Holy Scripture. By David W. Virtue www.virtueonline.orgSept. 13, 2010 In a ground-breaking address at Lambeth Palace before the Nicean Club that included the Archbishop of Canterbury, Russian Metropolitan Hilarion blasted parts of the Anglican Communion experimenting with sexual innovations and said they threatened continuing dialogue with the Orthodox Church. In surprise remarks...

Barack Obama promised that under health care reform that the average family would save $2500 per year in premiums. He also promised that we would be able to keep our plans and keep our doctors if we desired. None of it is true, of course. Barack Obama is simply unable to tell the truth. Ever. And neither he nor Democrats have the first idea of how business functions. Democrats believe that if you throw a punch at a person, the person will not move. And the more punches they throw at business, the more business moves. The insurance industry warned...

A mother neglected her three children and let her dogs starve to death because she was so obsessed with a computer game. The 33-year-old woman played the Small World game almost non-stop on the internet for months while her children were reduced to eating cold baked beans straight from the tin with their fingers. Her home became filthy, with rubbish strewn over the floor and the bodies of her two dogs, a German shepherd and a lurcher, left for two months in the dining room it was revealed. SNIP The woman's children, aged nine, ten and 13, were badly neglected...

2010 DEFICT: The budget deficit is on track to hit $1.3 trillion this budget year, which ends Sept. 30. That would be the second highest deficit on record, slightly below last year's all-time high imbalance of $1.4 trillion.

President Obama has ruined our country. He doesn't know diddily sqat about running our government. We, Americans have the right to rebell against our leader if he doesn't have what it takes to run our country. He doesn't have the right to ban someone just because he doesn't like what they have to say. FREE SPEECH, REMEMBER?

Sorry Mr. President, but it looks like you are on the outs with the American people again. According to the nation's most accurate polling service, Rasmussen, 51% of Americans are in favor of extending President Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy. This revelation comes at a time when President Obama is pushing the mantra of "fear versus hope" in the upcoming 2010 elections. The President has also stated that Republicans are desperately trying to tax everyone into slavery, while he himself is defending raising taxes. With this new poll, it seems that the President's campaign for taxing the wealthy is...

As the November elections approach, politicians are doing what politicians do best: making promises. President Obama’s anti-business image, justified or not, will not score points with voters this year as unemployment continues to court 10% on the government’s math and 20% in the real world. With these figures virtually unchanged since he took office, the president has been unable to sell the idea that his economic policies have created any jobs. So, he is doing the best he can with the hand that he has dealt himself and trumpeting the millions of jobs his policies have “created or saved.” In...

In a year in which Democrats are struggling to hold their majorities in Congress, organized labor and progressive groups such as Democracy for America have already waged one titanic effort to defeat a Democratic incumbent, spending millions of dollars in an effort to oust Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas. But challenger Bill Halter fell short in a June 8 runoff. On Tuesday, the progressives try again in the Massachusetts Democratic primary where their challenger, Mac D’Alessandro, is trying to boot Rep. Stephen Lynch, one of the 34 House Democrats to vote against President Obama’s health care bill. It’s one of...

BIG BEAVER Voters in river towns like this one, from the Mid-Atlantic to the Midwest and Deep South, are frustrated with Washington. Most are working-class Democrats and independents who placed their trust in Democrats in the past two election cycles. Yet with all of its poll numbers and focus groups, Washington's ruling class still does not understand Main Street. In fact, it wants to know what is wrong with Americans. President Barack Obama, his advisers, congressional leaders and even many elite Beltway pundits believe voter anger among Republicans alone may cause Democrats to lose November's midterm election. They could not...
