This includes evidence of the direct influencing of the Senate's advice and...

As the Democratic presidential race enters its closing phase, the party finds itself facing prospects for the fall election that are vastly improved from just two months ago. At the same time, for reasons that are partly related and partly coincidence, President Bush is weaker than his strategists expected, spreading alarm in the White House and Republican circles, GOP sources said. The dramatic turn of fortunes prompted an equally dramatic response. In South Carolina yesterday, Bush offered a comprehensive defense of the invasion of Iraq and vowed he would make the same decision today. And the president, who grants far...

Tonight on Radio FreeRepublic8pm ET Politics Today with Tim Ziegler (The Shrew)IRS THREATENS SECOND AMENDMENT NEWSLETTERS: Under the guise of “campaign finance reform,” the U. S. Supreme Court's devastating decision in McConnell v. FEC threatens to outlaw issues-oriented newsletters, particularly pro-gun publications. GOA Director LARRY PRATT said, “The IRS is leaping forward to expand the Court's ruling to include GOA newsletters, e-mail alerts, and other Second Amendment communications.” Put out for comment on December 23, 2003 -- when, presumably, no one would notice -- proposed IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-6 created a broad new set of ambiguous standards which groups like...

Isn't this about where we did not want to be at this point? While the Bush administration says things are going well in Iraq, the news from the American-led occupation is looking like a catalog of easily predictable, and widely predicted, pitfalls. Frustrated by suicide bombings and guerrilla violence, American military officers resort to the kind of harsh tactics that have caused endless ill will in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unable to develop reliable intelligence of its own, the administration has authorized the creation of an internal Iraqi spy agency, which will recruit former Iraqi military and intelligence officials to find...

A morality based on an understanding of what is good and evil, is the only thing that will keep a community of families afloat. In America we are losing our moral sense and so we are losing what we once knew as America and the American family. We are not even becoming immoral. We are becoming amoral, meaning that we are losing all distinction between immoral and moral behavior. Imagine what would happen if we lost our sense of what is good or evil to our bodies? Imagine if we started eating raw flesh or plastic or moldy bread, thinking...
