Karl Rove’s new “Conservative Victory Project” is nothing but an anti-Tea Party hit team that is gunning for our candidates. So, grassroots conservatives must now all band together and fight back. We must defend the Tea Party! .....We formed this brand new PAC to help Tea Party candidates challenge entrenched big-government Republicans for the nomination. But, in light of recent events, we need to also be ready to defend our conservative incumbents as well. The establishment is gunning for us. They want to crush our movement. We have to fight back!

WASHINGTON: The Obama administration has urged Pakistan to accept India's aid offer even as hardline Islamist elements in the flood-ravaged country have begun a vicious campaign to blame India, the United States, and Afghanistan for the calamity, a charge Washington has simply dismissed. Amid mounting international attention and concern for Pakistan's future in the face of the tragedy, US officials on Wednesday called on Islamabad to abjure politics and accept India's help, including an initial $ 5 million offer it has sat on saying it is under consideration, even as it is begging for international aid.

Since President Bush has now cited Tropical Storm (soon to be Hurricane) Rita as a reason why citizens of New Orleans should not be allowed back into the city yet and... Since loony libs think Bush and Karl Rove have some sort of weather machine that steered Hurricane Katrina into Louisiana to kill all the black people... Shouldn't we test this theory?

But if Rita hits somewhere else, then either Bush and Rove...
