WASHINGTON -- The congressional Republican establishment's charade, pretending to crack down on spending earmarks while actually preserving their uncontrolled addiction to pork, faces embarrassment this week when the Democratic-designed budget is brought to the Senate floor. The party's presidential nominee-presumptive, Sen. John McCain, is an uncompromising pork buster with no use for the evasions by Republican addicts on Capitol Hill. Sen. Jim DeMint, a first-term reform Republican from South Carolina, will propose a no-loopholes one-year moratorium on earmarks as a budget amendment. McCain has announced his support for the DeMint amendment and will co-sponsor it. DeMint wants to coordinate McCain's...

John McCain Defends Embryonic Stem Cell Research Backing in Florida Stop by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com Editor January 25, 2008 Tallahassee, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain has taken a pro-life position on abortion, but his views on embryonic stem cell research are a cause for concern among many pro-life advocates. The Arizona senator defended his position in support of the destructive research at a Florida campaign stop. McCain said he continues to support forcing taxpayers to fund the research, which involves the destruction of human life and has never helped patients, but called his support for it “a...

People drive across state to celebrate military BY AMANDA HICKEY January 26, 2008 - 10:41PM DAILY NEWS STAFF More than 250 people gathered with U.S. flags and signs showing their support for the military in front of Wal-Mart by U.S. 17 and Western Boulevard on Saturday. More than 100 American flags were waved in the air while signs asked drivers to “Honk if you love the Marine Corps.” Another sign told people that “If you don’t stand behind the troops, stand in front.” The celebration was one of two events — with the other at Jacksonville Commons Park — organized...

Church group draws counterprotest Law enforcment prevents physical interaction BY HEATHER GALE January 26, 2008 - 7:24PM DAILY NEWS STAFFFive people versus 40. The notorious protesting church, Westboro Baptist Church, turned out five women, — two older and three who appeared to be in their late teens or early twenties — to express their viewpoints about the Marine Corps and the circumstances surrounding the death of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach. However, more than 40 counterprotesters were across the street from the church members on Lejeune Boulevard, holding signs and supporting the military. Many of the supporters of the troops said...

He’s an open borders drag queen, and he’s piling on the make-up and jewels again to disguise his pro-illegal immigration record in time for the South Carolina primary. The Washington Times reports that he has signed a NumbersUSA pledge to oppose any new shamnesty measures and reduce illegal immigration through attrition. I don’t believe Mike Huckabee:

Marshall to run for U.S. Senate By LILLIAN KAFKA lkafka@manassasjm.com Tuesday, January 8, 2008 Robert "Bob" G. Marshall, a state delegate since 1992, officially tossed his hat into the ring to run for U.S. Senate, he announced on Monday. Marshall, a Republican representing the House of Delegate's 13th district, is a conservative politician on many issues -- including abortion - and his posture on those issues is critical for a Republican to win in Virginia, he said. In 2007 Marshall introduced a bill, although unsuccessful, that would have banned abortions in Virginia if the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Roe...

Fellow Iowa GOP chairpersons, If you are like me, you are excited about the upcoming caucuses while at the same time, can’t wait to get them over with. I have had 16 messages from candidates, supporters of candidates, supporters of specific party platforms, etc. just in the last 2 days. I won’t miss those when they are gone. I am sending this message on my own without the request or assistance of anyone. It contains my opinions – so if there is something factually incorrect, you can blame me. Since your email address is posted on the Iowa GOP web...

Executive director Holly Gatling said, “South Carolina Citizens for Life is confident in Senator Fred Thompson’s resolve to protect and defend the most defenseless among us: our unborn children.” The group will be running radio ads to support Fred. In a statement, Fred said, "I’m blessed and deeply grateful to have the endorsement of the South Carolina Citizens for Life for President of the United States. They carry a significant amount...

Two new ads. I like the second half of the first clip — he really is the most stalwart conservative among the big four, a point he should be hammering at every turn. The first half and the second clip in its entirety are devoted to pushing his background as a crusading attorney fighting for what’s right, a noble and notable credential although it’s not obvious to me why it does him much good. Is it his way of showing Rudy’s not the only prosecutor in the race with some big wins to his credit? Of tying himself to his...

LADSON, S.C. (AP) — White House hopeful Fred Thompson called his trip down an aisle of rifles, shotguns and pistols at a gun show "a day in paradise," while criticizing his leading opponents for past positions on gun control and abortion. Talking to reporters later, Thompson singled out former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Giuliani "never met a gun-control bill he didn't like until he started to run for president and now I understand he very much approves of the Supreme Court taking jurisdiction of this Washington, D.C., case which most Second Amendment advocates...

Presidential hopeful and former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., did a little Christmas shopping at Skip's Gun Shop in Bristol Friday afternoon, giving many local gun rights supporters a chance to meet the actor-turned-candidate who seems every bit in person the law-and-order character he plays on television. Tall, tanned, and dressed in a blue suit, Thompson initially appeared a little out of place in a sporting goods store until he began speaking about gun rights and the Constitution. "We've got a lot to be thankful for," began Thompson in his familiar drawl. "And I'm thankful to be among folks who...

Thompson backed by key conservative By Steven Harmon Mercury News Sacramento Bureau Article Launched: 10/31/2007 01:38:35 AM PDT SACRAMENTO - Presidential candidate Fred Thompson, hoping to appeal to Republican grass roots activists, on Tuesday named state Sen. Tom McClintock - a darling of the state's conservatives - to chair his California campaign. It was his first campaign appearance in California since announcing in June his candidacy on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," and it came just a few days after a poll showed him badly trailing former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani among the state's GOP voters. Referring to...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- With the primary just three months away, the former "Law & Order" star and Tennessee senator is making a late bid to win the Republican nomination. Although Thompson is lagging in polls, both in California and in key primary states like New Hampshire, he shrugs off criticism that he lacks the fire to win the nomination. "We're getting around and carrying our message, you know, we've been a consistent conservative," Thompson said. On immigration reform, Thompson is opposed to amnesty and wants to crack down on employers who hire illegals. "We've got to do what's best for...
