DEMOCRATS AND THE POLITICS OF FAILURE
I wonder how long it will take the liberals to begin to devour the Dems in Congress?

I never thought I would see the time that I would post an article about John McCain, and this week I have posted two. This is another good article about Senator McCain.

This is good news for Conservatives. ActBlue is one of the biggest fundraising organizations for the far left.

Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic cronies in the Senate and the House misread Republican resolve on a lot of issues.

The Hill is reporting that Ed Rollins is going to serve as Mike Huckabee's national chairman.

This is a very interesting article. I'm not sure that McCain's or Thompson's tactics make much sense, though.

James Pinkerton of Newsday has it right in this story. The DNC, like most political pundits, vastly underestimated Mike Huckabee. Now that he has become a real player, they are scrambling.

I seldom disagree with Ed Morrissey in his commentary, but I do here. We can't have it both ways. During the time that Bill Frist was Senate Majority Leader and Denny Hastert was Speaker of the House, all the pundits said that they did exactly what the White House wanted, and therefore, had no institutional integrity. Frist, in particular, was savaged by everyone for being Bush's guy, who did everything that the President wanted. Now Captain Ed is saying that Bush had to cover for his spend happy Congress. I don't think so. I think Bush was very happy with what was going on, and now sees a political advantage in fighting with the Democrats over everything. The Republican base was not happy with the wasteful spending, and Bush is trying to help his party, by preaching to the choir.

I don't think anyone can disagree with this assessment of the non-debate. The highlight of the day was Senator Thompson saying I'm not going to play the hand game.

The do nothing Congress lives up to it's name. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Harry Reid is the worst majority leader ever. Take a look at his accomplishments in his first year vs. those of Bill Frist in his first year. Frist is head and shoulders above Reid, but then, contrary to the fables of the media and the far left, Frist is ahead of most previous majority leaders.

Here is the link to the story in the New York Times about Mike Huckabee that is stirring up all the controversy. Judge for yourself.

The race in Virginia wasn't really contested by the Democrats, but the 5th Congressional District in Ohio was hotly contested. This sounds like the way things are going to go in the upcoming election.

Ron Christie has an op-ed in "The Hill" that sums up what I think. George Bush is proving to be much livelier than the pundits thought.

Just one more reason that I wish Congress would just go home. I know that can't happen, but they are doing nothing constructive.

This is certainly good news. The key remains education. The more knowledge young people have about the danger of drugs, the more likely they are not to use them.

Interesting article in the New Yorker regarding the Republican party and immigration. I don't agree with a lot of it, but it's worth reading.

I think the poll results are probably right, but as usual with the New York Times, their conclusion is ridiculous. What the poll numbers do indicate is not a dissatisfaction by Republican voters, but rather, several outstanding candidates, who are making the choice difficult.

Does anyone else think that Congressman Obey is the biggest gift the Democrats have given the Republicans so far? This guy is just unreal. Doesn't he realize he is playing right into the Administration's hands?

This is an excellent opinion/analysis of the danger of voting for Mitt Romney. Every Republican should read it and give it careful consideration.

As expected, after such an overwhelming loss, the grades are not very high. I'm not usually inclined to blame any one individual for a loss, but the Steeler Offensive Coordinator leaves a lot to be desired. Also, I would be tempted to fire Anthony Smith immediately.

I know, how devastating these kind of cases can be to people who can no longer earn a living because of a disability, and have to wait years for a decision from an Administrative Law Judge. During my legal career, I handled many social security disability cases, and they were always some of the toughest cases of my practice.

I normally don't even bother to read the Daily Kos, because it is so far off the wall, but this story just shows how much the Republicans have frustrated the far left.

Salena Zito has an excellent analysis of four of the Republican frontrunners, including why they can win the nomination and why they can't. I'm disappointed that she left out Fred Thompson.
