Chucky Putzhead Schumer: Reaganism Is Dead http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1745766/posts?page=1 Chucky Putzhead Schumer: Reaganism Is Dead Daily Politics ^ | November 29, 2006 | Ben Smith Posted on 11/29/2006 9:04:21 AM CST by nwrep Chuck swung by the Daily News for an editorial board meeting this morning, which you'll be able to read more about in tomorrow's News. A couple of tidbits from his broader discussion (forthcoming in book form) of how he sees the shifting terrain and the Democrats' edge struck me: "We're in better shape than [Republicans] are, because they don't realize that Reaganomics is dead, that the Reagan philosophy is...

<p>1. Convince the jihadists that the United States is now defeated in Iraq and beyond. While no reversal of the balance of power has taken place on the ground, the jihadi propaganda machine is linking the shift in domestic politics to a withdrawal from Iraq. It projects the change in Washington as a crumbling of the political process in Baghdad and America's foreign policy. Interestingly, others in the region are also "announcing" the upcoming defeat of America in the war on terror. Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah declared: "The Americans are leaving, and their allies will pay the price."</p>

Oh, he’s here!’ Strykers return to open arms It was 32 below zero on Fort Wainwright, a 102-degree difference from Baghdad, where hundreds of soldiers with the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team had been just prior to their return to Fairbanks on Saturday. But even with foggy and icy windows on the buses that brought them in from Eielson Air Force Base, all the soldiers knew was the warm welcome of friends and family. Before the soldiers arrived at Fort Wainwright, Col. Robert Ball, deputy commander of U.S. Army...

Rumsfeld By Douglas Feit Sunday, November 19, 2006 Much of what you know about Donald Rumsfeld is wrong. I know, because I worked intimately with him for four years, from the summer of 2001 until I left the Pentagon in August 2005. Through countless meetings and private conversations, I came to learn his traits, frame of mind and principles -- characteristics wholly at odds with the standard public depiction of Rumsfeld, particularly now that he has stepped down after a long, turbulent tenure as defense secretary, a casualty of our toxic political climate. I want to set the record straight:...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1740325/posts Democrats Say They Will Push to Require "Cleaner Campaigns" Posted on 11/17/2006 10:27:48 AM CST by Mr. Brightside By Marie Horrigan Thu Nov 16, 6:26 PM ET The Democrats who will be senators in the 110th Congress beginning in January have spent the week after Election Day choosing their leadership team and discussing agenda items for their return to the majority. But they also are taking a glance back at the 2006 campaign that awarded them the six-seat net gain they needed to take control — and decrying negative campaign tactics they pinned on Republican candidates. “We have to...

Weed out all the usual Al Propaganda pro Democrat spin and you see what General Abizaid and Mr Satterfield basicaly told the Dincons and the Appeasement Now Dems in the US Senate is "Want to fix Iraq, get out of our way". http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/11/15/D8LDMEGG1.html The top U.S. commander in the Middle East warned Congress Wednesday against setting a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, putting him at odds with resurgent Democrats pressing President Bush to start pulling out of the violence-torn country. Gen. John Abizaid spoke as the Senate Armed Services Committee began re-examining U.S. policy in the...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1738969/posts An Open Memorandum to House Republicans Date: November 15, 2006 To: House Republicans From: Newt Gingrich RE: Reflections on being back in the minority and how to become a governing majority. As we think about the 2006 election and where House Republicans go from here, I want to suggest a few principles and actions that might be helpful. When I was first elected in 1978, House Republicans had been in the minority for 24 years. Despite our best efforts to win enough seats to gain the majority, it took us 16 more years. If we do not want to...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1738103/posts?page=1 Swing District Analysis NFRA Newsletter ^ | November 12, 2006 | Grover Norquist Posted on 11/13/2006 8:18:22 PM CST by WOSG There are now 58 House Democrats elected in districts that voted for Bush in 2004. There are now only nine House Republicans elected in districts that voted for Kerry in 2004. Note the larger Bush Margins than Kerry margins. Those 58 Dem’s are in more difficult districts than the nine R’s. If in 2008 the R's only won those districts that performed 58% or more for Bush in 2004 they would pick up 18seats. If in 2008, the...

You are going to hear a lot of noise about Iraq. It will be just that noise. The Democrat Appeasement Monkeys and the Dincons Neo Isolationists think they are back in the charge after Tuesday. They aren't. President Bush is still Commander in Cheif. The Junk Media wants to create the image that the Democrat Congress can dictate policy on Iraq. They cannot. So you will see a lot of posturing on Iraq but very little action. The reason is the Democrats KNOW they do not have the votes. What happens on Iraq is up to President Bush. All the...

Let me see if I get this last propaganda spin lie fed to the Junk Media by the Democrats right. After the worst sort of slime bag gutter politics and demagoguery for the last 6 years suddenly we are all suppose to play nice since the Dems finally managed to lie their way back into power? I do not think so. They think they run things but believe or not, President Bush has a veto pen and we still have more then 40 Conservative Senators to filibuster with. They need to get along with us. WE can stop anything they...
