If the Candidates had stones

An american president has illegal alien relatives living in the United States.
One is living quite well, on government aid.
Another was just arrested for DUI and a near crash with a police cruiser.
The DUI driver (the president's uncle) has a valid driver's license and a social security card.
If Republican Candidates had stones, this would be one of the biggest gotcha stories to use against Obama.

Wisconsin leads the way

Considering its past and the left leaning politics of the region, it is surprising that Wisconsin is leading the way in fighting back against union abuse of taxpayers.
But the last elections turned over the state house and governorship to Republicans and they are working to pull the teeth of the Socialist beast that has been ravaging every state in the union in its rapacious pursuit of more power and money.
You go Wisconsin!
Win one for the rest of us.

On a side note; if the picture in the article is correct, I would say there might be more than 'hundreds' at the rally.
Maybe that's just a miscalculation on my part after having my crowd calculator messed up by 'million man math'.

Better ads from Republicans

There are many reasons for Conservatives doing better in the polls.
One reason is that some of them have finally figured out that they need to run better ads.
Political ads are so predictable, nasty, boring, and trite that we tend to ignore them.
The American thinker has an article that shows some of the better ads out there this election year.

My favorite is the one with Clint Howard (Ron Howard's little brother).

The Democrat Race Lie

I knew of several infamous instances of Democrats fighting changes to our laws that provided more freedom and equality to minorities.
The late Senator Byrd filibustered against the Civil Rights act of 1964 and many in his party voted against it.
Al Gore's father was an avowed segregationist who fought this act.
What I did not know was how many more instances of Democrats fighting to keep minorities down existed.
This list is long and the worst thing about it is that Democrats lie about it on their website and the compliant media don't call them out.

Politicians need more regulation

Politicians keep telling us we need more law; more regulation; more control of those evil, greedy corporations.
Usually it is the Liberal politicians making these demands, but conservatives have not done enough to stop either spending or regulation lately.
Now we find out that at least 8 politicians held fundraisers just before voting on financial reform.
This may not have even made it into the headlines if it weren't for the fact that 5 of the lawmakers in question are Republicans.

Now that I am registered as "No Party" I feel cleaner.
I wonder if the Congressional Black Caucus is happy that the Office of Congressional Ethics is handling this; seeing as how they want it shut down for catching so many of them behaving badly.
