The R race for presidency is going to become a bit more exciting come July 4th, say Fred Thompson’s advisers.  He’s already raised a few million dollars while he teased conservatives as to whether he’d enter the race.  Looks like the wait may soon be over.  The big question is: Does he (and his red [...]

Your Junior Senator at Work

May 29th, 2007 · No Comments

This is what we get when the state GOP kneecaps the better candidate in favor of the richer candidate — the Democrat wins, and then pulls crap like this:
A key breakthrough on immigration reform came in an early-morning phone call from Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar to a South Carolina Republican.

Urban Flight of the Bumblebee

May 25th, 2007 · No Comments

In which our intrepid girl reporter gets down with the Greens on the red carpet…Recently, I took it upon myself to crash Mme. Laurie David’s ‘conversation’ about Global Warming at the Denver Convention Center. Why? Because when you put free events full of fashionably fretting liberals within walking distance of my office and [...]

Let’s fix it one more last time?

Mark Krikorian over at the National Review is right on target with Teddy Kennedy.  Let’s take a look at Mr. Kennedy’s record (no no no.  not that record, his historical stance on illegal immigration, i mean amnesty, er i mean, whatever…):

Comprehensive Surrender

May 18th, 2007 · No Comments

This is absolutely appalling.
Our own Sen. Salazar had this to say, words which you should expect to hear repeated over and over in the coming days in the hopes of their somehow acquiring truth:  
“This bill secures our borders, has tough enforcement of our immigration laws on the border and in the interior, brings the 12 million undocumented workers in our [...]
