I watched the Primary returns on FOX News last night (Tuesday, September 14, 2010), and as they came in favoring Tea Party Candidates, I was gleefully amazed at the BLOWBACK coming from the people against the ESTABLISHMENT. And then there was Dana Perino, who on Sean Hannity’s show expressed her enormous disappointment that OUTSIDER Christine O’Donnell beat longtime ESTABLISHMENT incumbent Mike Castle. Her disappointment was palpable, even though Mike Castle voted MORE often for Democrat initiatives then he did with Republicans, especially on issues such as Cap and Trade and the Stimulus Program. Dana Perino DEFENDED Mike Castle, because in...

So Rove was cutting deals with the Tea Party to try to get O'Donnell out of this primary race. And we know that Armey endorsed Castle. Were Armey and Rove a team?

Appalachian Coal Miners Say EPA Rules Are Killing Their Jobs By Judson Berger Shown here is an Appalachian coal mine, featured in a video produced by FACES of Coal. (FACES of Coal) Michael Fox can literally see where his job ends. The 14-year veteran of the West Virginia coal mining industry is about a year and a half out from finishing his current project, and he can see the boundaries of the site. He doesn't know whether there will be any work left for him after that, since a wave of environmental regulation has put his firm's other permits on...

Delaware Crosses the Washington By C. Edmund Wright Establishment Washington got yet another whipping last night, as "the unelectable" Christine O'Donnell -- supported by Sarah Palin and the Tea Parties -- rallied to convincingly beat liberal and well-connected Mike Castle in Delaware's Republican primary for Senate. Castle, we were told by the powers that be, was the only electable Republican -- and his loss is already being mourned by "Beltway conservatives" like Karl Rove and Dana Perino, not to mention the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which has announced that O'Donnell will have to finance her campaign on her own. Well,...

Ever since the passage of the Democrats failed stimulus package that saddled Americans with almost a trillion dollars in new debt, there have been widespread reports of abuse. From a ‘tunnel to nowhere’ to international ant research, projects across the country have wasted untold amounts of taxpayer dollars – and now we can see it happening right here in Iowa. Yesterday, Iowa House Republican Leader Kraig Paulsen asked the State Auditor’s office to review the circumstances surrounding a real estate company owned by Roxanne and James Conlin receiving more than $1 million in federal stimulus money to purchase an apartment...

Letter: Islamic texts do incite the violence of Muslim radicals‎ The Daily Collegian Online - September 15, 2010 After reading Tuesday's column "Unjust hate defies meaning of 9/11," I find myself left with a question. Michael Oplinger wrote: "Al Qaeda remains a small group acting on a twisted interpretation of a religious text." Mr. Oplinger, have you read any of the Islamic texts? The Quran and the Hadith (a critical tool used by Muslim scholars to interpret the Quran) are documents consumed by violence and savagery. Even with the most forgiving liberal hermeneutics, buttressed by claims of mistranslation, a purely...

I do not like this Uncle Sam, I do not like his health care scam. I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books. I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like their secret deals. I do not like this speaker Nan , I do not like this YES, WE CAN. I do not like this spending spree- I'm smart, I know that nothing's free. I do not like your smug replies, when I complain about your lies. I do not like this kind of hope. I do not like it....

Colorado’s Republican gubernatorial candidate keeps stumbling, and the short-term winner is GOP-turned-American Constitution Party candidate Tom Tancredo. A new Rasmussen Reports poll released Tuesday shows Tancredo, the bombastic former congressman known for his anti-immigration crusades, leading GOP nominee Dan Maes for the first time, 25 percent to 21 percent. It’s a dramatic switch from late August, when the firm’s poll showed Maes leading Tancredo 24 percent to 14 percent. But the long-term winner is the same: the Democratic nominee, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, who earned 46 percent support. That’s up from 36 percent in late August. The Maes-Tancredo reversal comes...

Appearing on “Fox & Friends” this morning, DNC Chairman and former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine revealed that the “major announcement” the committee touted yesterday is a redesign of the DNC’s website: “Later on Today at George Washington University … I’m going to do a roll out of a new … web page for the DNC. It’s kind of a new look, new slogan, new tools. It‘s been about a decade since we’ve done this. And so we’re switching the focus from the DNC … [to] the people — Democrats, 75 million strong, proud to be Democrats.” He also announced a...

I am (when I can) hanging out around a LaRouche table and speaking my mind, engaging people who are at the table unawares of their history, and video recording it for a future video. These LaRouchites are a political Cult, and in this post I list some of their positions (past and present) that designate them as sush. Some topics dealt with are: Anti-Semitism; 9/11 Trutherism; Conspiracy Theories; AIDS; Re-Writing of History; Ideological Swings; and Swastikas. There are links galore for the referencing maniac as well as some interesting posts of similar strain if you follow the tags at the...

<p>The nation's banks repossessed a record number of homes in August, according to industry sources. RealtyTrac, an online foreclosure sale site, will release its monthly numbers on Thursday, but sources there confirm the number of repossessions will come in just shy of 100,000 for the month.</p>

Jackson County prosecutors today charged a student wearing a bullet-resistant vest with slashing the throat of a dean at the Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley just 20 minutes before Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was scheduled to speak there. Prosecutors charged Casey Brezik, of Raytown, with two counts of first-degree assault and two counts or armed criminal action in connection with the 9:35 a.m. attack on the second floor of the Humanities Building on the campus at 3210 Southwest Trafficway. ....> About an hour before the stabbing, Brezik posted an update that said: “Pharaoh let my people go! We have but two...

I'm sorry, I can't tell if it's ok to excerpt any of it, but basically it's a video with an article about a whole selection of idiots, one a volunteer meter man who got angry and lashed out and a woman and her husband who caught it on video and want to sue (over what damages I cannot imagine).

1-The People are hungry for a Fresh Face-In a year in which voters are looking for a fresh "non-establishment" face..she fits the bill. She has not held office before and the establishment's of both Parties dislike her-all a plus this year. 2-Politics is a Contact Sport-Politics-like, any kind of sales, is a contact sport-the more people you contact the more success you will have. Rather than waiting to be annointed, like Mike Castle, O'Donnell has been all over the state meeting people. She has a personal base of goodwill and is a good campaigner. This will serve her well in...

One has to presume that the number one movie in every establishment GOPer's Netflix queue these days is Reality BitesDespite a unified effort from both the MSM and the Republican party hierarchy, Christine O'Donnell went all uppity on them and easily defeated Mike Castle, who we were told was the best candidate because he knew how to win elections. If you're a fan of convoluted arguments and political in-fighting, the past week has been a blast on the Right. When the reality that Mike Castle might not be so electable any more set those sold on his electability began rending...

"There are an awful a lot of women that felt frustrated by Hillary Clinton's failure two years ago and I'm telling you it's popping up, I'm hearing it anecdotally, I admit, but look at this picture here -- these are women and they may be conservative women, but they are women nonetheless," MSNBC's Chris Matthews said.
