Democrat Support Down

From Rasmussen Reports

Rasmussen's latest Generic Congressional Ballot finds Republicans at a 43% favorability rating and Democrats at only 38%.

Over the past 12 months, Democratic support on the congressional ballot has ranged from a low of 37% to a high of 50%. In that same time period, Republicans have been preferred by anywhere from 34% to 43% of voters nationwide.

Democrats held a six- or seven-point lead on the ballot for the first few weeks of 2009. That began to slip in early February, and from mid-April through June the two political parties were roughly even. Republicans have held a lead on the ballot since the last week in June, the first time they'd been on top in well over a year.

Women who have consistently favored Democrats now prefer the GOP by a 40% to 39% margin. Men continue to favor Republicans over Democrats 47% to 36%.

Voters not affiliated with either party prefer Republicans two-to-one - 43% to 22%.

Keep pushing Dems, full speed ahead.

Pelosi Briefed About Waterboarding in 2002

From FOXNews.com

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefed in September 2002 on the use of enhanced interrogation techniques, according to a report prepared by the Director of National Intelligence's office and obtained by FOX News.

Shocking! I guess Speaker Pelosi's claim last month that she knew nothing about waterboarding was disingenuous, not forthcoming, a lie.

Why's the Left so Angry?

By Byron York From The WashingtonExaminer.com

These should be happy times for liberals and the Democratic party as a whole. They control the White House and both houses of Congress, while opposition Republicans are leaderless and lost. So why do some Democrats, particularly those farther to the left, appear so angry?

If you doubt it, just watch a few minutes of MSNBC, where the recent nationwide series of "tea parties" to protest federal spending and taxes set off an angry, almost manic response. The most telling came on Keith Olbermann's program, during which the actress Janeane Garofalo, who plays an FBI computer geek on “24,” denounced the tea parties as "racism straight up."

"Let's be very honest about what this is about," Garofalo said. "It's not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes…This is about hating a black man in the White House."

[...]

I asked William Anderson, a friend who is a political conservative, a medical doctor, and a lecturer in psychiatry at Harvard. "They are angry, but I think they are also scared, and I think it's because they have a sense that their triumph is a precarious one," Anderson told me. Democrats won in 2008 in some part because of the cycles of American politics; Republicans were exhausted and it was the other party's turn. Now, having won, they are unsure of how long victory will last.

"They see that they have a very small window of opportunity to do all the things they want," Anderson continued. "They see the window of opportunity as small because they know in their deepest hearts that the vast majority of the American people wouldn't go for all of the things they want to do." So they are frantic to do as much as possible before the opposition coalesces. And the tea parties might be the beginning of that coalescence.

Then there is the question of self-image. Watching Garofalo and Olbermann discuss the tea parties, it was impossible to avoid the sense that they saw themselves as two good people talking about many bad people. "One of the things about narcissism is that it looks like people who are just proud of themselves and smug, but in fact narcissism is a very brittle and unstable state," Anderson told me. "People who are deeply invested in narcissism spend an awful lot of energy trying to maintain the illusion they have of themselves as being powerful and good, and they are exquisitely sensitive to anything that might prick that balloon."

Again, the tea parties could represent a threat. What if the protesters weren't racists, weren't violent, weren't mentally defective? What if their point was legitimate, or even partly legitimate? Those are questions better batted down than answered.

My apologies to Byron York for quoting far more of his article than I should have. My excuses are simply that I really liked the article, and I wanted to capture all of Dr. Anderson’s comments.

Franken Wins

From Powerline

The three-judge court that has been hearing Senator Norm Coleman's election contest ruled for Franken today, finding that he received more votes in November's election. As expected, the court rejected Coleman's equal protection arguments and found that there were no serious or systemic problems with the state's conduct of the election.

He's Good Enough, He's Smart Enough, and Doggone It, Moonbats Like Him!

Obama's Socialist Climate Czarina

From FOXNews.com

Carol Browner, President Obama's climate czarina served as a member of a socialist organization whose mission is to enact progressive government policies.

Browner's name and biography have been deleted from the website of Socialist International, a group of social democratic, socialist and labor parties.

Browner worked on Socialist International's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which argues that the global community must work collectively to address environmental policies.

We are aware that essential tasks still lie ahead which we can master only through common action, since human survival increasingly depends upon the joint efforts of people around the world. It is the people of the world who should exercise control by means of a more advanced democracy in all aspects of life: political, social and economic. Political democracy, for socialists, is the necessary framework and precondition for other rights and liberties.

A more advanced democracy? Thank God we're a republic... right?

CPAC Highlights

Here are some of my favorite moments from the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Niger Innis of CORE gave a rousing speech. I wish there was some video, but I couldn't find anything.

I really enjoyed Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer's presentation of their new film "Not Evil Just Wrong." It's a hard look at what environmentalism has cost the world. They cover the full gamut from the ban on DDT to global climate change.

And then there was Rush, the man that doesn't need a last name. You've probably heard what the MSM has to say about his appearance but I think Jim Blazsik put it best with this post.

If you want to measure how effective a person is in communicating conservatism, you watch for three things:

1) The reaction of dedicated conservatives - need I say more?
2) The reaction of the liberal media - freaked. The more liberals whipped themselves up into a frenzy, the more threatened they feel. Just look at what they did to Sarah Palin. They have a hard time with ideas, instead of just having a "message."
3) The reaction of wimp Republicans - embarrassing. Michael Steele insulted conservatives and of course Rush Limbaugh - he better clean this up quickly.

Black Liberation Theology

Senator Barack Obama spent over twenty years at the church of reverend Jeremiah Wright. Obama credits reverend Wright with introducing him to his Christian faith; but, what does that really mean?

Dear Mr. Obama

I received this from iVoteRight just as I was leaving South Korea and this is the first chance I've had to post it. It speaks for itself... now please excuse me. I have something in both of my eyes.

Watching The Debates Online

I'm in Korea without a TV so I watched the first presidential debates online via the FOX News Live Stream. Bret Baier hosted The Strategy Room with a panel of three commentators Mystery Science Theater 3000 style (I wonder how many people actually know what MST3K is considering it went off the air about 10 years ago). It was great. I applaud what FOXNews is doing online and I wish they would do more of it.

Oh... the debate, it was good and McCain won.

Media Campaigns for Obama

From RealClearPolitics - Tony Blankley (and found at Powerline)

While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08, for the first time, the major media consciously are covering for one candidate for president and consciously are knifing the other. This is no longer journalism; it is simply propaganda.

[...]

But worse than all the unfair and distorted reporting and image projecting are the shocking gaps in Obama's life that are not reported at all. The major media simply have not reported on Obama's two years at New York's Columbia University, where, among other things, he lived a mere quarter-mile from former terrorist Bill Ayers. Later, they both ended up as neighbors and associates in Chicago. Obama denies more than a passing relationship with Ayers. Should the media be curious? In only two weeks, the media have focused on all the colleges Gov. Palin has attended, her husband's driving habits 20 years ago, and the close criticism of the political opponents Gov. Palin had when she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

Charles on Charlie

Charles Krauthammer on Charlie Gibson's interpretation of the Bush Doctrine during the Sarah Palin interview.

Actually, because I found this over at Little Green Footballs, the title should be, "Charles on Charlie from Charles."

Charlie Gibson's Gaffe
By Charles Krauthammer

"At times visibly nervous . . . Ms. Palin most visibly stumbled when she was asked by Mr. Gibson if she agreed with the Bush doctrine. Ms. Palin did not seem to know what he was talking about. Mr. Gibson, sounding like an impatient teacher, informed her that it meant the right of 'anticipatory self-defense.' "

-- New York Times, Sept. 12

Informed her? Rubbish.

The New York Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.

There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration -- and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different.

You can read the rest here.

Charles Krauthammer should know something about the Bush Doctrine, he is credited with having coined the term.

On a somewhat related note Ace of Spades has exclusive video of the DNC War Room after the interview. Warning, extreme foul language (it is Ace of Spades after all). This is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.

Sliming Sarah

From The Annenberg Public Policy Center's FactCheck.org

We’ve been flooded for the past few days with queries about dubious Internet postings and mass e-mail messages making claims about McCain’s running mate, Gov. Palin. We find that many are completely false, or misleading.

Palin did not cut funding for special needs education in Alaska by 62 percent. She didn’t cut it at all. In fact, she tripled per-pupil funding over just three years.

She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term.

She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.

Palin never endorsed or supported Pat Buchanan for president. She once wore a Buchanan button as a "courtesy" when he visited Wasilla, but shortly afterward she was appointed to co-chair of the campaign of Steve Forbes in the state.

Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska's schools. She has said that students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of the evolution question, but she also said creationism "doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."

My Concerns for America

By Jon Voight

The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.

[...]

If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies. With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there's not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb. And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats, the Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.

Political Survey

I received this in my email the other day and it looks legit, so here goes.

The purpose of this survey is to examine how people think and feel about the political issues, parties, and candidates in the upcoming election. In the survey, you will be asked a series of questions about two political candidates, John McCain and Hillary Clinton. We are very interested in how individuals that find information on the web think about politics, and your participation would be greatly appreciated. In total, the survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. The survey is completely anonymous and you can skip any questions you do not wish to answer.

Click here to take the survey.

Please feel free to contact Chris Weber (crweber[AT]notes.cc.sunysb.edu) at Stony Brook University with any questions or concerns. Thanks for your help.

Chris stated in his message that this survey is part of his dissertation project so if you've got a few minutes do help him out.

In War: Resolution

By Victor Davis Hanson

Somehow we forget that going into the heart of the ancient caliphate, taking out a dictator in three weeks, and then staying on to foster a constitutional republic amid a sea of enemies like Iran and Syria and duplicitous friends like Jordan and Saudi Arabia - and losing less than 4,000 Americans in the five-year enterprise - was beyond the ability of any of our friends or enemies, and perhaps past generations of Americans as well.

America's Ruined Alliances

By Charles Krauthammer - Jewish World Review

When the Democratic presidential candidates pause from beating Hillary with a stick, they join in unison to pronounce the Democratic pieties, chief among which is that George Bush has left our alliances in ruins. As Clinton puts it, we have "alienated our friends," must "rebuild our alliances" and "restore our standing in the world." That's mild. The others describe Bush as having a scorched-earth foreign policy that has left us reviled and isolated in the world.

Like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who insist that nothing of significance has changed in Iraq, the Democrats are living in what Bob Woodward would call a state of denial. Do they not notice anything?

France has a new president who is breaking not just with the anti-Americanism of the Chirac era but also with 50 years of Fifth Republic orthodoxy that defined French greatness as operating in counterpoise to America. Nicolas Sarkozy's trip last week to the United States was marked by a highly successful White House visit and a rousing speech to Congress in which he not only called America "the greatest nation in the world" (how many leaders of any country say that about another?) but also pledged solidarity with the United States on Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, the Middle East and nuclear nonproliferation. This just a few months after he sent his foreign minister to Iraq to signal an openness to cooperation and an end to Chirac's reflexive obstructionism.

That's France. In Germany, Gerhard Schroeder is long gone, voted out of office and into a cozy retirement as Putin's concubine at Gazprom. His successor is the decidedly pro-American Angela Merkel, who concluded an unusually warm visit with Bush this week.

All this, beyond the ken of Democrats, is duly noted by new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who in an interview with Sky News on Sunday remarked on "the great change that is taking place," namely "that France and Germany and the European Union are also moving more closely with America."

As for our other traditional alliances, relations with Australia are very close, and Canada has shown remarkable steadfastness in taking disproportionate casualties in supporting the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Eastern European nations, traditionally friendly, are taking considerable risks on behalf of their U.S. alliance - for example, cooperating with us on missile defense in the face of enormous Russian pressure. And ties with Japan have never been stronger, with Tokyo increasingly undertaking military and quasi-military obligations that it had forsworn for the past half-century.

So much for the disarray of our alliances. Read More...

Cambridge MA Votes Down Scouts' Aid For GIs

From The Boston Herald

Big-hearted Boy Scouts collecting donations for care packages for U.S. troops are still scratching their heads after being sent packing from polling stations when Cambridge officials ruled their generous effort “political.”

"We just wanted to make a lot of troops happy," said Scout Patrick O'Connor, 16. "I was devastated that someone would think to take (the donation boxes) out," he said.

O"Connor of West Cambridge was one of the Scouts who wanted to collect toiletries, magazines, candy and other items for care packages after one of his relatives was injured in an IED explosion while serving in Iraq.

"He mentioned to me that some people got care packages from home and how happy it made them," the Scout said.

Troop 45 Cambridge Boy Scouts placed boxes in the city's 33 polling stations on Election Day.

But someone complained to the city, claiming the boxes were a "political statement," and the boxes were removed.

Jihad and the American Left

By J.R. Dunn - American Thinker

At first glance, it might appear unlikely, the Jihadis being noted for such non-progressive activities as oppression of women, persecution of minorities, and the execution of homosexuals. But that kind of thing has never stopped the left before - their sole criterion has always been whether or not the other party is useful. It can safely be assumed that the mullahs feel the same way.

Up until now, the left has satisfied itself in responding to the War on Terror by attacking government actions, employing the Vietnam myth, and inciting as much domestic paranoia as humanly possible. But they're getting more frantic. Time has passed, and they have failed to generate anything like a mass movement, while recent successes in guarantee they never will. There's plenty of precedent for left-wing support of Islamic radicals, scattered and sporadic, but undeniable all the same. Recall Michael Moore's characterization of Al-Queda in Iraq as "Minutemen." Consider the left's defense of John Walker Lindh. Consider the self-styled "human shields" who raced to protect Saddam Hussein. Or the effort that has been put into undermining U.S. programs to combat the terrorist threat, such as rendition, wiretapping, and profiling.

Media Matters Defaming Journalists

A journalist and Republican activist has sued the left-wing Media Matters for America and its founder, David Brock, for slander and invasion of privacy, claiming the nonprofit is a, "hate machine organized and orchestrated to smear conservatives and Republicans who dare to speak out against the liberal orthodoxy and manipulation of the media."

Media Matters for three years has monitored conservative media and attacked high-profile conservatives with provocative language and out-of-context quotations. Brock is a former attack dog who posed as a conservative and now claims he made up stories about such people as Anita Hill, who charged Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with sexual harassment during Thomas's confirmation hearings.

Brock outlined his lies and conversion to liberalism in his 2002 book, "Blinded By The Right." He launched Media Matters in 2004 after conferring with Hillary Clinton.

George Soros is Getting Stronger

Far left billionaire George Soros is buying political influence in America in an unprecedented way. Soros is pouring tens of millions of dollars into far left Internet sites and organizations designed to intimidate democratic politicians and advance his radical left agenda.

While the article doesn't mention Soros by name, it does say that every morning, a cluster of anti-war mostly far left groups gather for a conference call with the Democratic leadership in Washington. Every morning.

At the center of this cluster is the notorious Move On organization, which has received at least $5 million from Soros himself and an unknown amount from organizations he funds.
